Song 1: It’s such a Good Feeling

Lyrics

It’s such a good feeling to know you’re alive
It’s such a happy feeling you’re growing inside
And when you wake up ready to say
I think I’ll make a snappy new day
It’s such a good feeling, a very good feeling
The feeling you know that we’re friends
You know you can always help to make each day a special way
By just you’re being yourself
You grow in your own way
Everyone does
That’s one reason each one of us is different and special
And people can like us exactly as we are

Song 2: Won’t you be my neighbour

Lyrics

It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
It’s a neighborly day in this beautywood
A neighborly day for a beauty
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you
So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day
Since we’re together, we might as well say
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please, won’t you please?
Please, won’t you be my neighbor?
Neighbors are people who are close to us
And friends are people who are close to our hearts
I like to think of you as my neighbor and my friend.

Song 3: It’s You I like

Lyrics

It’s you I like,
It’s not the things you wear,
It’s not the way you do your hair
But it’s you I like

The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys
They’re just beside you.

But it’s you I like
Every part of you.
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new

I hope that you’ll remember
Even when you’re feeling blue
That it’s you I like,
It’s you yourself
It’s you.
It’s you I like.
