RAY CHARLES - IF I COULD LYRICS

RAY CHARLES - IF I COULD LYRICS: "If I could - I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes.
Give you courage in a world of compromise.
Yes, I would...

If I could - I would teach you all the things I never learned.
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I burned.
Yes, I would...

If I could - I would try to shield your innocence from time.
But, the part of life I gave you isn't mine.
I watched you grow - So I could let you go...

If I could - I would help you make it through the hungry years.
But, I know that I could never dry your tears.
But, I would - If I could...

Yes, if I live - in a time and place where you don't want to be,
you don't have to walk along this road with me.
My yesterday - won't have to be your way...

If I knew - I would try to change the world I brought you to.
And there isn't very much that I could do.
But, I would - if I could...

Oh, baby, Daddy wants to protect you.
And help my baby through the hungry years.
'Cause you're a part of me.
And if you ever, ever need, I said a shoulder to cry on,
Or just someone to talk to, I'll be there. I'll be there.
I didn't change the world.
But, I would - If I could...

(Spoken) 'Oh, darlin'. I love ya baby.'..."

"Time in a Bottle," by Jim Croce

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSp0PEBuzEc

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

I want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving break. I hope you take the time to see a little bit of Texas and get some R&R. The weather is supposed to be excellent--sunny and cool.

I hope to see you at my home (9703 Oasis, 77096) on Sunday at 4. After 4 is okay too, and before 4 is good if you want to come and help.

Please let me know if you'd like to cook (or not). If yes, please let me know what you'd like to make so we can discuss the ingredients.

One things the Cins will make is barbeque chicken wings, which is a favorite in our home.

I look forward to having a great time with all of you and celebrating Ammar's birthday...

"I Want to Know What Love Is," by Foreigner (Noun Clauses)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1LseoI2_bw

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Aaaah woah-ah-aah

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Aaaah woah-oh-ooh

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me, oooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh oooh
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
(I wanna know what love is) the love that you feel inside
(I want you to show me) I'm feeling so much love
(I wanna feel what love is) no, you just cannot hide
(I know you can show me) yeah, woah-oh-ooh
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
(I want you to show me) I wanna feel it too
(I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
Show me what is real, woah (woah), yeah I know
(I wanna know what love is) hey I wanna know what love
(I want you to show me), I wanna know, I wanna know, want know
(I wanna feel what love is), hey I wanna feel, love
I know you can show me, yeah

Listening Practice: CNN Student News

If you want to improve your listening, I recommend listening to CNN Student News every day and you can follow along with the questions they ask under "Daily Discussion." This is really an excellent way to practice listening for about 15 minutes/day.

Listening Test on Monday

There will be no listening test tomorrow. I know that this news is very difficult for you to hear.
So tomorrow in 4E, just the grammar test and maybe something else...
In 4F, grammar test, listening work, and the last presentations...
