Songs of nostalgia

from w
I've been asked to play some music for a 65th birthday party, maybe some songs to sing along to, so scrabbled amidst my older music books and found stuff by Abba, Seekers, Peter Paul and Mary, UB40. Maybe I'll improvise a bit on ones I like: Stormy Weather, Autumn Leaves, The Rose, The Carnival is Over, Bridge over Troubled Waters,, Penny Lane, Streets of London, Everybody Hurts. Or will that lot make some people cry? These songs sound a bit sad! Anyway, the autumn leaves are now falling.
The falling leaves drift by the window,
the falling leaves of red and gold...
