My Girl By The Temptations I’ve got Sunshine on a cloudy day. When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May. I guess you’d say What can make me feel this way? My girl. Talkin’ ‘bout my girl. I’ve got so much honey the bees envy me. I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees. I guess you’d say What can make me feel this way? My girl. I don’t need no money, fortune or fame. I’ve got all the riches baby one man can claim. I guess you’d say What can make me feel this way? My girl Talkin’ ‘bout my girl. Bridge Over Troubled Waters By Paul Simon When you’re weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I’m on your side When times get rough And friends just can’t be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you’re down and out When you’re on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I will take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on Silver Girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine If you need a friend I’m sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease you mind You are the Sunshine of My Life By Stevie Wonder You are the sunshine of my life That’s why I’ll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you’ll stay in my heart I feel like this is the beginning Though I’ve loved you for a million years And if I thought our love was ending I’d find myself drowning in my own tears You must have known that I was lonely Because you came to my rescue And I know that this must be heaven How could so much love be inside of you Both Sides Now By Joni Mitchell Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I’ve looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and they snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It’s clouds illusions I recall I really don’t know clouds at all Moons and Junes and ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way that you feel As every fairy tale comes real I’ve looked at love that way But now it’s just another show And you leave ‘em laughing when you go And if you care, don’t let them know Don’t give yourself away I’ve looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It’s love’s illusions I recall I really don’t know love at all Tear’s and fears and feeling proud To say “I love you” right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I’ve looked at life that way Oh but now old friends they’re acting strange And they shake their heads And they tell me that I’ve changed Well something’s lost and something’s gained In living every day I’ve looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It’s life’s illusions I recall I really don’t know life at all I really don’t know life at all 1

Description
The use of figurative speech is often used in the English language. Often used as a rhetorical devise in songwriting because examples such as metaphors can describe complicated ideas simply. The enclosed content are the lyrics to songs which we will explore in the class. Students are encouraged to volunteer reading and participate in identifying key examples of figurative speech.
