Paul Albert Anka, OC (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor.

Anka first became famous as a teen idol in the late 1950s and 1960s with hit songs like "Diana'", "Lonely Boy", and "Put Your Head on My Shoulder". He went on to write such well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady", and the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way".

In 1983, he co-wrote with Michael Jackson the song "I Never Heard", which was retitled and released in 2009 under the name "This Is It".[1] An additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from this 1983 session, "Love Never Felt So Good", has since been discovered, and will be released in the near future.

Anka became a naturalized US citizen in 1990.

1. YOU ARE MY DESTINY



You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are

You have my sweet caress
You share my loneliness
You are my dream come true
That's what you are

Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
'Cause I'd be a fool
To ever leave you dear
And a fool I'd never be

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
That's what you are

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are.

2. PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER



In the canyons of the great divide
Familiar places that we can run and hide
Are filled with strangers
Walking in our houses alone

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well

On the horses of the carousel
She rides alone with you and me
She rides like she knows
Wherever she goes, we'll be there

On the carousel
Life is going well
Anyone can tell we're in love
On the carousel
You're gonna like the way you feel

You and I, we got caught down there
In the twisted canyons of the great divide
We walked the floor
Now we don't go there anymore

In the great divide
Nothin' to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
I don't fit in too well

In the great divide
Nothin' to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well

3. DIANA



Are you passionate?

Are you livin' like you talk?

Are you dreamin' now

that you're goin' to the top?

Are you negative,
In a world that never stops,

Turnin' on you?

Turnin' on me?

Turnin' on you?

Are you loving it?

Can you ever get enough of it?

Is it everything?

A love that never stops,

Comin' to you?

Comin' to me?

Comin' to you?

Once I was a soldier,

I was fighting in the sky,

And the gunfire kept

comin' back on me.

So I dove into the darkness,

And I let my missles fly.

And they might be the ones,

That kept you free.

Once I was a prisoner,

I was riding in a truck,

Cleaned up for public display.

I looked at those around me,

And when they looked at me,

I let them see my soul that day.

Are you scared of it?

Do you wish that it would stop?

Does it bother you

when you hear your spirit talk?

Well I'm right with you,

Yes I'm right with you.

It's working on me,

It's working on you.

It's working on me.

4. I DON'T LIKE TO SLEEP ALONE


I don't like to sleep alone
Stay with me
Don't go
Talk with me for just a while
So much of you to get to know
Reaching out touching you
Leaving all the worries behind
Loving you
My mouth on yours and yours on mine
Marry me
Let me live with you
Nothing's wrong and love is right
Like a man says in his song
Help me make it through the night
Loneliness can get you down
When you get to thinking no one cares
Lean on me
And I'll lean on you
Together we will see it through

No, I don't like to sleep alone
It's sad to think some folks do
No I don't like to sleep alone
No one does
Do you?

No, I don't like to sleep alone
It's sad to think some folks do
No I don't like to sleep alone
No one does
Do you?

5. [I BELIEVE] THERE IS NOTHING STRONGER THAN OUR LOVE



Long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way

Sad long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way

Goin' back to my woman and this time I'm gonna stay

Yes, I've been gone for a long time

Wonder if I'm welcome home

Been gone for a long time

Wonder if I'm welcome home

So many things can happen

When a man leaves his baby all alone

Yes, it took a long time, baby

To realise what a fool I've been

Well, I said it took a long, long time, baby

To realise what a fool I've been

When I knock on the door

I wonder will she let me in

VIDEO HOLD ME TILL THE MORNING COMES


6. TIMES OF YOUR LIFE



Woke up this morning
After another one of those crazy dreams
Oh nothing is going right this morning
The whole world is wrong it seems
Oh I guess it´s the chain that bind me
I can´t shake it loose these chains and things

Got to work this morning
Seems like everything is lost
I got a cold hearted wrong doing woman
And a slave driving ball
I can´t loose these chains that bind me
Can´t shake them loose these chains and things
Just can´t loose these chains and things

Well you talk about hard luck and trouble
Seems to be my middle name
All the odds are against me
Yes I can only play a losing game
These chains that bind me
Can´t lose these chains and things
Just can´t loose these chains and things
Oh I would pack up and leave today people
But I ain´t got nowhere to go
Ain´t got money to buy a ticket
And I don´t feel like walking anymore
These chains that bind me
I can´t lose
I can´t lose these chains and things

7. EVERY NIGHT [ WITHOUT YOU]



I'm proud to a union man
I make those meetings when I can, yeah
I pay my dues ahead of time
When the benefits come I'm last in line, yeah.

I'm proud to be a union man.

Every fourth Friday at 10 am
There's a local meeting of the A F of M, yeah!

This meeting will now come to order
Is there any new business?

Yeah, I think 'Live music are better'
Bumper stickers should be issued.

What was that?

'Live music is better' bumper stickers
Should be issued

The gentleman says
'Live music is better' bumper stickers
Should be issued
All in favor of what he said
Signify by sayin' "ay"

Ay!

If, however, you are opposed
Signify by saying "no".

I'm proud to be a union man.

8. TO NIGHT MY LOVE, TO NIGHT




Wish you told me by and by,

That my life would come to this,

That I'd have to find a way

to let things go,

That my friends would turn to foes,
And my love would come to blows,

Then I would have done some things

differently.

Differently...

I would ask you out every night.

Differently...

And I would make you feel so good.

Differently...

And appreciate the things that

you bring to me, babe.

Differently...

Oh yes I would, oh yeah.

Yeah, I know you tried and tried,

But your signal I just missed,

When you said my little girl

would soon be gone,

Yes I didn't hear you then,

And it might be too late now,

That's another thing I'd do

differently.

Differently...

Like trying to make you feel

loved every day.

Differently...

And saying little things to

let you know how I feel.

Differently...

Yes I can hear your young

voice calling me, babe.

Differently...

Oh yes I can.

When I 'm away I call you up,

And you don't seem to miss me as much,

But I know our love

is still there in your heart,

Just differently.

Differently...

Oh yes, I can hear your young

voice calling me, babe.

Differently...

Oh yes I can.

Differently...

I'd appreciate the things that you

bring to me babe, yes I would.

Differently...

Oh come on back to me babe,

bring your love back to me.

Differently...

Oh yeah I need your love,

I need your love.

Differently...

Yes I can tell you babe,

I need your love.

Differently...

Today is a brand new day, yes it is.

Differently...

Got to get your love back, babe,

come on now bring it back to me.

Differently...

Turn it around babe, turn it

around and bring it back.

Differently...

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, got to get

your love back, come on babe.

Differently...

Yeah I can hear your young

voice calling me babe.

Differently...

Come on back to me, come on back,

yeah yeah, turn it around.

Differently...

Oh yes I can, yes I can.

Differently.

10. LOVE IS A LONELY SONG


Love is a lonely song on a rainy day
You and I not together
Said good-bye too forever
Said good-bye…… Said good-bye……

Love is a lonely song in an empty room
You and I couldn't make it
Said good-bye couldn't take it
Take good-bye…… take good-bye……
