Return To Sender (Elvis Presley)

Here's another great song to practice the Past Simple!


Return To Sender (Elvis Presley)


Return to sender
Return to sender

I gave a letter to the postman,
He put it in his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
He brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.

We had a quarrel, a lovers' spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.

This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand the writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.

Return to sender, return to sender
Return to sender, return to sender

Time (Alan Parsons Project)

A beautiful reflection on how time passes 
and is never going back.

Time (Alan Parsons Project)

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again if ever
But time... keeps flowing like a river... To the sea

Goodbye, my love, maybe for forever
Goodbye, my love, the tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time... keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone for evermore

Goodbye, my friends, maybe for forever
Goodbye, my friends, the stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again

If ever
But time... keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone for evermore

Have You Ever Seen The Rain? (Creedence Clearwater Revival)




Have You Ever Seen The Rain? (Creedence Clearwater Revival)


Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been coming for some time

When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time

'Til forever on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder

(x2)
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah!

Time And Again (A-ha)

Here's a great song to practice the Past Simple.



Time And Again (A-ha)

The sun brought me
The moon caught me
The wind fought me
The rain got me
The road sent me
For years bent me
The stars overwhelmed me
Time and again

But now I can't see the stars
The star is a thing I can't see
And now I don't feel the same
To feel is a thing I can't be

Earth crushed me
Fame brushed me
The streets hushed me
As life touched me
Time placed me
Events dazed me
Love saved me
Now and again

But now there can be no love
Love is a thing I can't be
And now
And there can be no trust
Trust is a thing I can't see

But now there can be no love
Love is a thing that can't be
Now I can't be so strong
Strong is a thing I can't be
Time and again
Time and again

The sun brought me…
