Somewhere over the rainbow way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh, why can't I?

Shulie A Bop 03:25
I ain't mad at you, pretty baby, don't be mad at me.
3.
Sweetness 03:57
A little bit of sweetness goes a long way I have been known to have a bite everyday I know for sure I'll get a cavity and eventually Tell my poor old dentist how much I don't regret it I keep a bar of chocolate always nearby In case of an emergency I need that sugar high There's a lot of bitter life can serve When it does, I know what I do deserve I know that I've always got my sweetness to get me by
4.
I can tell life is not treating you so well Dug yourself a hole and you fell You think no one else can see, yet I can feel you're trying harder to conceal I accept the challenge to heal For you what I cannot heal myself And to a fault, I would die before I give up Cry until I've given enough Dig into the earth Until I've found what you dropped down But I know I might just have to let you go I have done my best but it's no good for me to carry on I wonder if I can tell too much
5.
Nature Boy 04:11
There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far, over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day, one magic day he came my way And as we spoke of many things, fools and kings This he said to me: The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return
6.
Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose So the Bible said, and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Yes, the strong gets more while the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Money, you got lots of friends Crowding round the door When you're gone and spending ends They don't come no more Rich relationships give, crust of bread, and such You can help yourself, but don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
7.
What a day this has been What a rare mood I'm in Why it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel When that bell starts to peal I could swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love

about

"Don't Be Mad At Me" is Olivia Van Goor's sophomore recording and first LP. It is a refreshing recording of standards and originals showing just why she deserves the microphone and spotlight.

"From 'Over the Rainbow' to 'Almost Like Being In Love', you'll be overjoyed with "Don't Be Mad At Me", a brand-new offering from Michigan-based vocalist Olivia Van Goor. I describe her as a songstress and entertainer of immense potential. This 7 song LP barely scratches the surface of her possibilities."- Linda Yohn, host of "Swing Set" on 90.9 WRCJ-FM in Detroit. She is a jazz activist with the Southeastern Michigan Jazz Association and Vincent York's Jazzistry.
