My favorite songs  are slow ballads  which are good to teaching English.

This one for example:

"Close to You" - The Capenters (Karen Carpenter)

.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
.
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you
