BEST SONG EVER

Recorded by One Direction (2012)

Section Lyrics
Maybe its the way she walked
Straight into my heart and stole it
Through the doors and past the guards,
Just like she already owned it
I said, Can you give it back to me?
She said, Never in your wildest dreams
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I cant remember
How it goes but I know that I wont forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went oh, oh, oh
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it goes oh
Said her name was Georgia Rose
And her daddy was a dentist
Said I had a dirty mouth
But she kissed me like she meant it
I said, Can I take you home with me?
She said, Never in your wildest dreams
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I cant remember
How it goes but I know that I wont forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went oh, oh, oh
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it goes oh
You know, I know, you know Ill remember you
And I know, you know, I know youll remember me
And you know, I know, you know I'll remember you
And I know, you know, I hope youll remember how we danced
How we danced (1, 2, 1, 2, 3)
How we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I cant remember
How it goes but I know that I wont forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I cant remember
How it goes but I know that I wont forget her
Cause we danced all night to the best song ever
I think it went oh, oh, oh
I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it goes oh
Best song ever
It was the best song ever
It was the best song ever
It was the best song ever

 LET IT GO
From the Disney motion picture Frozen
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (2012)
Recorded by Idina Menzel (201213)

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Its time to see what I can do
Not a footprint to be seen. To test the limits and break through
A kingdom of isolation, No right, no wrong, no rules for me,
and it looks like Im the Queen Im free!

The wind is howling like this swirling storm Let it go, let it go
inside I am one with the wind and sky
Couldnt keep it in; Let it go, let it go
Heaven knows Ive tried Youll never see me cry
Here I stand
Dont let them in, And here Ill stay
Dont let them see Let the storm rage on
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, dont feel, My power flurries through the air into the ground
Dont let them know My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
Well now they know And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
Im never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
Cant hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go And Ill rise like the break of dawn
Turn away and slam the door Let it go, let it go
I dont care That perfect girl is gone
What theyre going to say Here I stand
Let the storm rage on. In the light of day
The cold never bothered me anyway Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway!
Its funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Cant get to me at all

Section Lyrics
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause Ive had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
Now Im floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause Ive had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh/You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar...
Roar, -oar, roar, -oar, roar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

Recorded by One Direction (2013)

Section Lyrics
Written in these walls are the stories that I cant explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning
She dont feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die
These words will be written on my stone
And Ill be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that Ive been holdin on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until shes broke, inside
The story of my life
Written on these walls are
The colors that I cant change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now
Ill see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still
And Ill be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that Ive been holdin on so tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until shes broke, inside
The story of my life
And Ill been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until shes broke inside
The story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life
