Don't Be Sad
Intro:
Oh, Oh, should say, should say
Oh, Oh, should say
Verse
Don't be sad and lonely, you run off by yourself
Don't think you're the only one
Life will put you to the test
What you`ve lost, you never had
For what you’ve got, you should be glad
Don't be alone; we’re in your corner
Restart your life, get things in order
“Chorus”
Don't be sad and lonely
You’ve got friends by your side
Don't be sad and lonely
You have the will to survive
“Guitar Solo”
You being alone, was hard I know
Turn it around, take time to grow
Stay in touch, don't fade away
Turn your sight on a brand new day
“Chorus Repeat”
“Organ Solo”
Oh, Oh, should say, should say
Verse
What you lost, you never had
For what you get you should be glad
Don't be alone, I`m in your corner
Restart your life, put things in order
“Chorus Twice”
“Vamp Out”
Don't be sad and lonely
For what you got you should be glad
Don't be sad and lonely
Don't be sad, don't be alone
Stay in touch……Say it, say it
Don't be sad and lonely
You`ve got friends by your side
Don't let it, don't let it fade away
Never let it fade away
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't be sad and lonely
Stay in touch don't fade away
Don't be sad and lonely
Stay in touch don't fade away
Don't be sad and lonely
You’ve got friends by your side

We’ll Be Alright
My baby says that it’s alright
If I don't stay at home every night
She says you got a job to do
See you later when it's all through
We've been together, since we were kids
No excuse for some of those things we did
No denials, no lies
Had to learn how to compromise
Chorus
We'll be alright, alright
We'll be alright, alright
We'll be alright, alright, alright
Sax solo
Gettin' older, ain't so bad
Good times we’ve got and good times that we've had
AII you need is a few good friends
Strong family with you to the end
Guitar solo
Chorus
‘Vamp on chorus to fade’

LUCKY AT LOVE
I once loved a man, thought he loved me too
Made me a promise, promised to be true
Then I found my man in the arms of another
Chorus:
Why can't I be, lucky at love
When will I be, lucky at love
I once new a man, love light in his eyes
But oh he looked so sad, the day I said goodbye
In my heart I knew, I couldn't feel the same way to
Chorus:
Bridge:
When will I be like the others that I see
Lovin' my sweet heart and my sweet heart lovin' me
Instead I*m wondering, if I'll ever be
Anything put unlucky
Piano solo
Guitar solo
I once loved a man, said he loved me too
Gave me a diamond ring, I said I do
Then I found myself, alone at the alter
Chorus:
Bridge
Now grey sky's turned to blue, as I gaze upon your face
Right from the start I felt I'd found my place
Beside you forever, I want to be
Forever, lucky at love
I want to be, Iucky at love
I hope we'll be, lucky af love
You and me, Iucky at love
Forever, lucky at love
I'm gonna be, lucky at love
I know we'll be, lucky at love

SPREAD THE LOVE
He met the world with eyes wide open
To a family full of love and pride
Hearts full of joy, a good beginning
This little boy has a lot on his side
See this baby, hold him in your arms
Let the light shine all around
Keep him safe and keep him warm
Help him grow wise, help him grow strong
So he can spread the love he's brought around
Spread the love, spread the love around
Lives changed, forever better
From one small person, such a lot can grow
He chose his place, he found his time
He gotta family, wouldn't let him go
See this baby, hold him in your arms
Let the light shine all around
Keep him safe and keep him warm
Help him grow wise, help him grow strong
So he can spread the love he's brought around
Spread the love, spread the love around
Guitar/Harmonica Solo
See this baby, hold him in your arms
Let the light shine all around
Keep him safe and keep him warm
Help him grow wise, help him grow strong
So he can spread the love he's brought around
Spread the love, spread the love around
Spread your love around
Spread the love, spread the love around
You gotta spread that love around
Spread the love, spread the love around
Spread that love around
Spread The love, spread the love around
You, You, You, You spread the love around
Spread the love around, spread the love around
Oooooooooohh
