Sweet Child O'mine by Guns N' Roses


She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

Unstoppable by Rascal Flatts

So, so you made a lot of mistakes,
Walked down the road a little sideways,
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall.

Yeah, you've had a pocket-full of regrets,
Pulled you down faster than a sunset.
Hey, it happens to us all.

When the cold, hard rain just won't quit
And you can't find your way out of it

You find your faith that's been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible...

The Show by Lenka

Slow it down, make it stop
or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much,
yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough
...

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

I forget who said it, but: "I'm too grown for that"

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing

So I sing, I hold my head down
And I break these walls 'round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing

I don't care, I don't care
You worry 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
Spent her whole life being graded
On the sanctity of patience

And a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending
And a better happy ending
'Cause I don't want the next best thing
No, no, I don't want the next best thing

From Fairytale by Sara Bareilles

Seven Years by Norah Jones

Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

She's Gotta Be by Keith Urban

Be the man that she could trust,
(Be the man) who put her first,
(Be the man) who tamed his demons,
who healed her hurts.

(Be the man) in health and sickness,
(Be the man) who helped her grow,
(Be the man) with no resentment,
true repentance, God as my witness.

My daughter was singing this today

Happy Birthday Jesus.
I'm so glad it's Christmas.
All the tinsel and lights
And the presents are nice
But the real gift is You.

Happy Birthday Jesus.
I'm so glad it's Christmas.
All the carols and bells
Make the holiday swell
And it's all about You.
Happy Birthday Jesus.
Jesus I love You!
