Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)Annie Lennox

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.

Hold your head up - Keep your head up - Movin' on
Hold your head up - Movin' on - Keep your head up - Movin' on
Hold your head up - Movin' on - Keep your head up - Movin' on
Hold your head up - Movin' on - Keep your head up.

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Hold your head up - Keep your head up - Movin' on
Hold your head up - Movin' on - Keep your head up - Movin' on
Hold your head up - Movin' on - Keep your head up - Movin' on
Hold your head up - Movin' on - Keep your head up.

Sweet dreams are made of this... (4x and fade)

HUGS FROM FRIENDS

A Friend
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
By Douglas Pagels

Hugging
Hugging makes me happy
So l hug when l feel blue.
Today l hugged my teddy bear
And my little brother too
l'd like to hug an elephant
And maybe a kangaroo
But of all the hugs l want to give
My BEST HUGS are for YOU
By Maltie
THANX FRIEND x
