[Lyrics]
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what?
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?
With a stranger who might talk too fast
Or ask me questions about myself
Before I've decided that
He can ask me questions about myself
He might sit too close
Or call the waiter by his first name
Or eat Oreos
But eat the cookie before the cream?
But what scares me the most
what scares me the most
Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it?
What happens then?
If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
This way I get the best view
So, when he sees me, I want him to
I'm not defensive
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating
While a certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife
He could be criminal, some sort of psychopath
who escaped from an institution,
somewhere where they don't have girls
He could have masterminded some way to find me
He could be colorblind
How untrustworthy is that
He could be less than kind
Or even worse he could be very nice, have lovely eyes
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
What do I do with that?
Oh, God
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking open
But still I can't help from hoping
To find someone to talk to
Who likes the way I am
Someone who when he sees me
Wants to again

![As Long As He Needs Me (Oliver) | Male Piano Accompaniment with Karaoke Lyrics | C Major (+7)
AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME from the musical OLIVER!
Male Piano Accompaniment with Karaoke lyrics Onscreen in C Major (+7 semitones from original key).
As Long As He Needs Me is a song from the 1960 musical Oliver! which was written by Lionel Bart.
This accompaniment has been created for Tenor/High Baritone voice in the key of C Major which is a perfect 4th down or a perfect 5th up from the original from the musical, this gives a top note of G.
Lyrics :
[Nancy]
As long as he needs me
Oh, yes, he does need me
In spite of what you see
Im sure that he needs me
Who else would love him still
When theyve been used so ill
He knows I always will
As long as he needs me
I miss him so much when he is gone
But when hes near me
I dont let on
The way I feel inside
The love I have to hide
The Hell! Ive got my pride
As long as he needs me
He doesnt say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks she should
But, all the same
Ill play this game his way
As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
Ill cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me
As long as life is long
Ill love him, right or wrong
And, somehow, Ill be strong
As long as he needs me
If you are lonely, then you will know
When someone needs you, you love them so
I wont betray his trust
Though people say I must
Ive got to stay true, just
As long as he needs me

MAYBE THIS TIME from the movie Cabaret
Piano Accompaniment with Karaoke Lyrics
G Major.
Sheet Music for this arrangement is available from : https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/the-accompanist/maybe-this-time/MN0278607
Maybe This Time is a song created for the musical Cabaret written by John Kander and Fred Ebb. The part of Sally Bowles was played in the original movie by Liza Minelli. This is a piano accompaniment that follows the movie version of the track with the more somber down version that has a quiet ending.
Lyrics :
[SALLY]
Maybe this time, Ill be lucky
Maybe this time, hell stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love wont hurry away
He will hold me fast
Ill be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy,
Thats what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Somethings bound to begin
Its got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time Ill win
Cause everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy,
Thats what I long to be
When all the odds are there in my favor
Somethings bound to begin
Its got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time Ill win

![O Holy Night (Cantique de Noël) Piano Accompaniment | B Major [Karaoke Lyrics in CC]
O HOLY NIGHT (Cantique de Noël)
Piano Accompaniment in B Major.
Turn on CC/Subtitles for Karaoke lyrics.
O Holy Night is a Christmas song that was written by Adolphe Adam to a French poem Minuit, chrétiens (Midnight, Christians) by Placide Cappeau. The English lyrics were written in 1855 by John Sullivan Dwight.
This piano accompaniment follows along with the recording made of the song by Josh Groban although I have made it a little quicker than the original but only by a couple of beats per minute as, with just solo piano rather than full orchestra, is seemed slightly too slow. I hope you like this version. With the top note being an F# this should work for baritone, low tenor or soprano.
I have done this arrangement as a one verse repeat with a big ending.
You can acquire the sheet music for this arrangement from https://www.musicnotes.com/l/hzHKw
Lyrics :
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Saviours birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine! O night, O night, O night divine!
[Instrumental moment]
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine! O night, O night divine!
