"I Can't Stop Loving You" is a popular song recorded by Ray Charles in 1962. Released from Charles' groundbreaking Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music album, the song (a cover version) reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the U.S. R&B and Adult Contemporary charts.
I can't stop loving you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lone-some times.
I can't stop wanting you
It's use-less to say.
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday.
Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lone-some times.
I can't stop wanting you
It's use-less to say.
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach.The version by B. J. Thomas was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 list in the United States in January, 1970.
Raindrops keep falling on my head
and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
nothing seems to fit, Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun,
and I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job, Those raindrops are fallin'on my head they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know,
the blues they send to meet me, won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
* Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin'red,
Cryin's not for me, cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
because I'm free, nothings worryin' me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

When Will You Come Back Again (何日君再来)
何日君再來》是中國近代受到歡迎的經典歌曲,最初是1937年的電影《三星伴月》的插曲,是上海中國化學工業社,為宣傳國產的上海三星牌牙膏而資助拍攝,歌曲由剛剛成名的周璇主唱,並灌成唱片,由上海百代唱片發行。1939年在香港製作的電影孤島天堂中,又由黎莉莉主唱作為插曲。1940年李香蘭在滿洲國灌唱成唱片,由百樂及帝蓄唱片分別發行,結果比周璇原版更風行。李香蘭回日本後,在1952年又唱一次,由哥倫比亞唱片 在日本發行。This song was made popular by the late Teresa Teng.
Help Me Make it Through The Night
"Help Me Make It Through the Night" is a country music ballad composed by Kris Kristofferson and released on his 1970 album Kristofferson.Kristofferson's original lyrics speak of a man's yearning for sexual intimacy, yet they were controversial in 1971 because they were sung by a woman: I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand / Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord tonight I need a friend.
White Christmas
"White Christmas" is an Irving Berlin song whose lyrics reminisce about White Christmases. The morning after he wrote the song — Berlin usually stayed up all night writing — the songwriter went to his office and told his musical secretary, "Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song I've ever written — hell, I just wrote the best song that any body's ever written!" This song was later made popular by Bing Crosby.
Blue Christmas
"Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. The heart-broken tale of unrequited love during the holidays had long been considered a Christmas staple of country music, having been recorded by Ernest Tubb in 1948. In 1957, Elvis Presley effectively made "Blue Christmas" a steadfast rock-and-roll holiday classic by placing his indelible mark on the song. It has since been recorded by a host of rock and country artists alike, as well as those of other genres. The song was also featured in the children's Christmas special, The Year Without a Santa Claus. More recently, the song has been covered by Céline Dion as well as the indie band Bright Eyes and Billy Idol in his 2006 Christmas album Happy Holidays.
Probably the best known version of "Blue Christmas" is the one recorded by Elvis Presley for his 1957 LP "Elvis' Christmas Album." It was also released as a single. Ernest Tubb's version of the song included an extra verse not used by Elvis' later version.
