I'm confused at whether you want the lyric or the song, but I'll give both LOL!!!

2. No answer :(

4. Tiny Dancer by Elton John: Hold me closer, tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway.
5. Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Clearance Clearwater Revival: I wanna know have you ever seen the rain?
6. Ticket To Ride by the Beatles: She's got a ticket to ride.
7. "Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the feast of Stephen."
8. Jailhouse Rock by Elvis: Everybody in the whole cell block.

Do you like poetry? Who wrote these lines, or to whom they are attributed?

1. I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

2. She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes.

3. Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

4. Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus,
that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.

5. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou are more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

6. By the shore of Gitche Gunee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam
In the pleasant summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.

7. My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild deer and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.

8. Whose woods these are, I think I know,
His house is in the the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

9. No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

10. I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saqw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils.

Bonus:

Green groweth the holly,
So doth the ivy.
Though winter blasts blow never so high,
Green groweth the holly.
