Lyric of "When You Say Nothing at All", Sung by: RONAN KEATING

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

(CHORUS): The smile on your face
Let  me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me

Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

(Music for a while)

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud (Ooh…)
But when you hold me near (you hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (Drown out the crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

(CHORUS): The smile on your face
Let  me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me

Whenever I fall
You say it best (You say it best!)
When you say nothing at all……………………

(Music for a while)

(CHORUS): The smile on your face
Let  me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me

Whenever I fall
You say it best (You say it best!)
When you say nothing at all

(Music for a while)

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

Lyric of “Take Me to Your Heart”, Sung by: Michael Learns To Rock (Music:Jacky Zhang/Words: Jascha Richter)

Mmmm …

Yeah

 Mmm….

Hiding from the rain and snow
Trying to forget but I won't let go
Looking at a crowded street
Listening to my own heart beat

So many people all around the world
Tell me where do I find someone like you girl

(Chorus)
Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand before I'm old
Show me what love is - haven't got a clue
Show me that wonders can be true

They say nothing lasts forever
We're only here today
Love is now or never
Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand and hold me
Show me what love is - be my guiding star
It's easy take me to your heart

(Music)

Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends
But they don't really comprehend

Don't need too much talking without saying anything
All I need is someone who makes me want to sing

(Chorus)
Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand before I'm old
Show me what love is - haven't got a clue
Show me that wonders can be true

They say nothing lasts forever
We're only here today
Love is now or never
Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand and hold me
Show me what love is - be my guiding star
It's easy take me to your heart

(End)

Lyric of “Right Here Waiting for You”, Sung by: Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day 
And I slowly go insane 
I hear your voice on the line 
But it doesn't stop the pain 

If I see you next to never 
How can we say forever 

Wherever you go 
Whatever you do 
I will be right here waiting for you 
Whatever it takes 
Or how my heart breaks 
I will be right here waiting for you 

I took for granted, all the times 
That I thought would last somehow 
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears 
But I can't get near you now 

Oh, can't you see it baby 
You've got me going crazy 

Wherever you go 
Whatever you do 
I will be right here waiting for you 
Whatever it takes 
Or how my heart breaks 
I will be right here waiting for you 

I wonder how we can survive 
This romance 
But in the end if I'm with you 
I'll take the chance 

(Music for a while)

Oh, can't you see it baby 
You've got me going crazy 

Wherever you go 
Whatever you do 
I will be right here waiting for you 
Whatever it takes 
Or how my heart breaks 
I will be right here waiting for you 

Waiting for your!

Lyric of “Ugly”, Sung by: J. Bon Jovi

If you're ugly, I'm ugly too 
In your eyes the sky's a different blue 
If you could see yourself like others do 
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you 
(Yeah)

And I wish I was a camera sometimes 
So, I could take your picture with my mind 
Put it in a frame for you to see 
How beautiful you really are to me 

(Chorus): Ugly, Ugly 
All of us just feel like that someday 
Ain't no rainbow in the sky 
When you feel U.G.L.Y. 
And that's ugly, yeah, yeah, yeah 
yeah, yeah, yeah

(Music for a while)

Ugly, Ugly 
All of us just feel like that somedays 
Ain't no rainbow in the sky 
When you feel U.G.L.Y. 
And that's ugly, ugly 
All of us just feel like that somedays 
Ain't no cure that you can buy 
When you feel U.G.L.Y. 
And that's ugly 

So, if you're ugly, I'm ugly too 
If you're a nut, then I must be a screw 
If you could see yourself the way I do 
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you 
I wish I was as beautiful as you 

(End)

Lyric of “NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU”, By: Glenn Medeiros

If I had to live my life without you near me 
The days would all be empty 
The nights would seem so long 
With you I see forever oh so clearly 
I might have been in love before 
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young 
And we both know they'll take us 
Where we want to go

(Chorus 1) 
Hold me now 
Touch me now 
I don't want to live without you

(Chorus 2) 
Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
One thing you can be sure of 
I'll never ask for more than your love

(Chorus 3) 
Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
The world may change my whole life through 
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy, 
Our love will lead the way for us 
Like a guiding star 
I'll be there for you if you should need me 
You don't have to change a thing 
I love you just the way you are 
So come with me and share the view 
I'll help you see forever too

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Repeat Chorus 2)

(Repeat Chorus 3)

(Repeat Chorus 2) (2X)

(Music for awhile)

(Repeat Chorus 3)

Khmer Literature within Khmer Nation

Language has been playing a very important role in leading the life of people and as the symbol for each nation around the world. Language is considered as the learning source for all people to gain profound knowledge from. Each language is known as the literature for each nation. Among of those, Khmer Literature of Khmer Nation has been being well-known to the world for centuries. It is grouped to Khmer-Mon Language Group as the oldest language group in South East Asia (SEA). Khmer and Mon Language contributed much to the establishment of new languages in the region for newly states like Thai, Burmese, Laos, etc.

When the peak of the Khmer Empire rose up in Angkor Era, Khmer Literature grew up quickly with clear rule developed base on own language of ancestors and the language flew into SEA from India such as Pali, Sanskrit, etc. It should be noticed that Khmer Nation at that time living basically in her territory which covered Thailand, Laos, Some part of Burma, the south of Vietnam, the Gulf of Khmer Empire (now the Gulf of Thailand), some part of Andaman Sea, and most of South China Sea. Therefore, Khmer Language was used widely in this territory by Khmer People and other people fled from the south of China.  During Angkor Era, Angkor City was an international city to attract foreign students from different countries such as Sri Lanka, India, Burma, Champa, Malaysia, etc. Languages to learn are Khmer, Pali, and Sangskrit, especially rich Khmer Literature documents was kept in the library and Khmers’ house for all learners. Later, in Chaktomok Era, King Ponhea Yat recovered Khmer Literature hardly since most of Khmer Literature Documents were robbed and fired by Siam.

In Longvek Era of 16^th century, Khmer Literature reached the peak of Khmer Literature under the reign of King Ang Chan Reachea again even though most Khmer Literature documents were robbed by Siam during the rack of Angkor City. In this era, many Khmer Literature documents were created and were used as the tool to teach all next generation. Throughout the kingdom, Khmer People were taught Khmer Language since the childhood, especially men in the pagoda while only some women learnt Khmer Language at home. It should be noticed that King Ang Chan Reachea was a keen king to promote the Khmer Literature’s improvement within Khmer Nation. All Khmer Literature documents were usually kept in the royal palace in Longvek City and every pagoda throughout the kingdom. Significantly, most of Khmer Literature documents during that time were considered as the excellent documents about Khmer Literature rarely to find today. The most unforgettable things of containing the valuable Kingdom Controlling Rule and Khmer Literature in that era were Preah Kor (Statue of Royal Cow) and Preah Keo (Young Buddha Statue) in which now kept in Royal Palace of Bangkok. It was believed that Thai King has been learning these rules to control his state from generation to generation after getting Preah Kor and Preah Keo from Longvek City in 1594.

Since then only in the reign of King Preah Reach Samphear and King Ang Duong, Khmer Literature experienced the improvement again and the golden age. Many Khmer poems and other documents were written and left until today. During French Colonialism in Cambodia, Khmer Literature was allowed to learn only in the pagodas, but many Khmer poem writers were well-known as an example of Preah Phirum Pheasa Ou called Ngoy being admired to be the best poems and rule for all citizens today. Similarly, in Sangkum Reastr Niyum the glory age of Khmer Literature rose up. Many schools were built from city to the rural area. Both male and female were granted the same freedom going to schools. Khmer People loved their language with national solidarity under Samdech Preah Sanghreach CHUON Nat who established Khmer Dictionary, National Song, and so on. It should be noticed that his dictionary right now is transformed to be the electronic dictionary which could be found online.

Nowadays, Khmer Literature was the main issue within Khmer Nation in Cambodia, many Khmer Communities living overseas and millions of Khmer People living in her territory controlled by other nations like Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. In Cambodia, the freedom and Khmer Literature Documents is available for every one living here while the promotion of Khmer Literature is being adopted by Royal Government of Cambodia. Every year there is the national competition students from different provinces or cities for the top ten best high school students specializing in Khmer Literature. Most of Cambodian people are intelligent in Khmer Literature. However, for millions of Khmer People living in the south of Vietnam and in the southeast of Thailand, Khmer Literature is facing the dangers to lose from Khmer people there. According to the report of Khmer Sorin, Khmer people living in Srindr Province (Changwat Sorin) and other southeast provinces of Thailand get less education about Khmer Literature. This occurred because the restriction from Thailand’s government has been conducting since 1950s until today. It is estimated that there are more than 5 millions Khmer People living in these southeast provinces in 2009. The demonstration for Khmer Language learning programs in formal education in the province was conducted and Thai Officials in the Ministry of Education approved, but never practiced. Less and less Khmer people are well-educated on Khmer Literature while Khmer Teaching Programs is being conducted in only small programs and is impossible to teach all Khmer People there. Some of Khmer Sorin ignore their birth language and considered themselves not Khmer People. Born as Khmer should be called Khmer! Simultaneously, Khmer People in Kampuchea Krom (the south of Vietnam) also have been experiencing nearly the same as Khmer Sorin, but stricter since Vietnam is adopting Communist System. Most Khmer Krom People are less educated and very low in Khmer Language competency now. New words in Cambodia today are unknown to Khmer Krom People such as identity card (អត្តសញ្ញាណប័ណ្ណ) as an instance. Even in the pagodas, Khmer Krom People are hard to learn Khmer Literature since the government of Vietnam warned all Khmer Literature materials imported from Cambodia and most of Khmer Krom Literature Documents were destroyed during Vietnam War. Today Khmer Krom People are still speaking Khmer at home with her children and relatives, but writing is hard to describe. Anyway, Khmer Krom People are using her best effort also to reserve her own language. It is estimated that population of Khmer Krom People living in the south of Vietnam is around 8 million Khmer People recently. It should be noticed that Oknha SEUN Kuy was a hero of Khmer Krom People, especially for Preah Trapeang Province (Tra Vinh) in devoting his life in front of Vietnamese Authority to reserve Khmer Language for all Khmer there. Khmer in Laos may have less educated about Khmer Literature since the less number of them living in the south of Laos. It is thought that Khmer Literature alive only in the family of those Khmer People. On the other hand, there are Khmer Communities outside Cambodia such as in the United States, France, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Japan, Germany, Canada, Russia, Sweden, and so on. Knowledge of Khmer Literature are strong with Khmer People overseas born in Cambodia, but less strong with young Khmer People born overseas. However, it is seen that right now Khmer People overseas are doing her best to promote Khmer Literature within her next generation. “Literature is the soul of nation!” “Do not stop! Go on! Be successful one day!”

Lyric of "Inside of My Guitar"

Now, there's a place I want to show you
Don't you know it's not too far
And there's a place I want to know you
Inside of my guitar.

In my guitar there is a garden
Where rainbows bloom and shine like stars
If you say no, I beg you pardon
Come inside of my guitar.

(Chorus): I'll make you laugh and make you sing
And we can play among the stars
And we'll make love and dance beneath the strings
Inside of my guitar.

Now, there's a feeling that I'm after
So please don't think my love's bizarre
But I hear music, girl, and laughter
Inside of my guitar.

(Chorus): I'll make you laugh and make you sing
And we can play among the stars
And we'll make love and dance beneath the strings
Inside of my guitar.

Come inside of my guitar......
(Music for a short period of time)

Lyric of "Words" Sung by: Ronan Keating

Smile an ever lasting smile 
A smile can bring you near to me 
Don't ever let me find you gone 
'cos that would bring a tear to me 
This world has lost its glory 
Let's start a brand new story now my love 
You think that I don't even mean 
A single word I say…… 

It's only words 
And words are all I have 
To take your heart away 

Talk in ever lasting words 
And dedicate them all to me 
And I will give you all my life 
I'm here if you should call to me 
You think that I don't even mean 
A single word I say 

It's only words 
And words are all I have 
To take your heart away 

It's only words 
And words are all I have 
To take your heart away 

da ra ra ra da ra ra 
da ra ra ra da ra ra ra da ra

Let's start a brand new story now my love 
You think that I don't even mean 
A single word I say 

It's only words 
And words are all I have 
To take your heart away 

It's only words 
And words are all I have 
To take your heart away 

It's only words 
And words are all I have 
To take your heart away

Lyric of “If Tomorrow Never Comes” Sung by: Ronan Keating

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

(Chorus): If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her?
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through

She must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

Cos I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

(Chorus): If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day?
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
She must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes 

(The End)

Lyric of "I Don’t Like To Sleep Alone" By: Paul Anka

I don't like to sleep alone
Stay with me, don't go
Talk with me for just a while
So much of you to get to know

(Chorus): Reaching out touching you
Leaving all the worries far behind
Loving you the way I do
My mouth on yours and yours on mine

Marry me, let me live with you
Nothing's wrong and love is right

Like a man said in his song
Help me make it through the night

(Chorus): Loneliness can get you down
When you get to thinking no one cares
Lean on me (And I'll lean on you)
Together we’ll see it through

Oh, I don't like to sleep alone
It's sad to think some folks do
No, I don't like to sleep alone
No one does
Do you? (I don't like to sleep alone)
No one does
Do you?

Lyric of “Go Home” Song (Best English Blue Song with Piano Music Sound) Sung by: Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mm……………….

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
In each one a line or two
I'm fine baby, how are you?
Well I would send them, but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aero plane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mm, I got to go home

(Chorus): Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

(Music for awhile)

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
And this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day

has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

(Chorus): Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home

It'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

(Finish!!!! With the last short sound of music)
