Don't Stop Believin' Journey Just a small-town girl, Livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin' anywhere. Just a city boy, Born and raised in south Detroit. He took the midnight train goin' anywhere. A singer in a smoky room, A smell of wine and cheap perfume. For a smile they can share the night. It goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard. Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights, people, Living just to find emotion. Hiding somewhere in the night. Working hard to get my fill. Everybody wants a thrill. Payin' anything to roll the dice Just one more time. Some will win, some will lose, Some were born to sing the blues. Oh, the movie never ends, It goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers waiting… (Air) Guitar Solo Don't stop believin'. Hold on to the feelin'. Streetlights, people….

Lovely Day Bill Withers When I wake up in the morning, love, And the sunlight hurts my eyes, And something without warning, love, Bears heavy on my mind; Then I look at you, And the world's alright with me. Just one look at you, And I know it's gonna be A lovely day (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) A lovely day (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face; When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way, Then I look at you, And the world's alright with me. Just one look at you, And I know it's gonna be A lovely day (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) A lovely day (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) When the day that lies ahead of me… A lovely day… "Lovely Day" is a song by American soul and R&B singer Bill Withers.
