Once In A Lifetime
Composer(s): Anthony Newley - Leslie Bricusse
First release by: Anthony Newley - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
Just once in a lifetime A man knows a moment One wonderful moment When fate takes his hand And this is my moment My once in a lifetime When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime I feel like a giant I soar like an eagle As though I had wings For this is my moment My destiny calls me And though it may be just once in my lifetime I'm gonna do great things
And this is my moment My once in a lifetime When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime I feel like a giant I soar like an eagle As though I had wings For this is my moment My destiny calls me And though it may be just once in my lifetime I'm gonna do great things
As I was drifting off to sleep On this Christmas eve My thoughts turned to looking back At how this came to be Long ago and far away On a night so clear It was such a simple thing To echo through the years
Mary rock your baby boy As he softly cries There will be a world of tears Shed for him bye and bye Soon there will be peace and hope For all the world to know All because a child was born Two thousand years ago
An angel brought his tidings Not to priests and kings But to shepherds in their fields Afraid and trembling And standing in the manger How were they to know How the world would change around This babe in swaddling clothes
Mary rock your baby boy As he softly cries There will be a world of tears Shed for him bye and bye Now there can be peace and hope For all the world to know All because a child was born Two thousand years ago
Se a noite não tem fundo O mar perde o valor Opaco é o fim do mundo Pra qualquer navegador Que perde o oriente E entra em espirais E topa pela frente Um contingente Que ele já deixou pra trás
Os soluços dobram tão iguais Seus rivais, seus irmãos Seu navio carregado de ideais Que foram escorrendo feito grãos As estrelas que não voltam nunca mais E um oceano pra lavar as mãos
Once I Was Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Eric Andersen; Tram
Once I was a soldier And I fought on foreign sands for you Once I was a hunter And I brought home fresh meat for you Once I was a lover And I searched behind your eyes for you And soon there'll be another To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
And though you have forgotten All of our rubbish dreams I find myself searching Through the ashes of our ruins For the days when we smiled And the hours that ran wild With the magic of our eyes And the silence of our words
And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
A Christmas Letter
Composer(s): Gene Nelson - John Greenebaum - Paul Nelson
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
At an antique desk an old man sits alone Oh, it's Christmas Eve and it's almost time to go He signs his name to a letter he just wrote Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow
I want peace on Earth for Christmas In a world where there's not one hungry child A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
Then he walks outside and climbs upon his sleigh And calls out to his reindeer, then off they fly away Oh, tonight he'll make a million dreams appear While he wishes that his own dreams could come true this year
I want peace on Earth for Christmas In a world where there's not one hungry child A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
A day when hope and faith just conquers fear and hate All I'm asking for is a little more love
Meglio Per Te Se Piangi French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Meglio per te se piangi Io ho pianto già per te Non sai per quante ore Ho portato con me Il ricordo di te Meglio per te se piangi Il pianto ti calmerà Attenuerà il dolore E lo cancellerà Pena d'amore è breve Ombra sottile e lieve Che si allontanerà da te Meglio per te se piangi Il pianto ti calmerà E dopo tanto dolore Da me ti guiderà Meglio per te spiangi Piangi, piangi...

Dear ol dads an all-in wrestler Weighing-in at nineteen stones Brother Bills a bonnie builder And his hobbys breaking bones Sister Mona tears a phone book Into little tiny shreds Come along and meet em Come along and greet em Theyre a family of thoroughbreds
(Chorus)
Theres a bloodhound in the kitchen Hasnt had a bite all day Uncle Arthurs back in Dartmoor Aunties with the I.R.A Grandmas digging in the cellar No-one knows where grandpa is Theyre a lot of smasher Bruisers, boozers, bashers Theyre a family of savages
(Chorus)
Come along and meet em Come along and greet em Meet the family

On Va Dire Que C'Est Moi Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Si un train n'est pas à l'heure Qu'un' princesse divorce et pleure J' culpabilis', c'est certain Même si j'sais qu' j'suis pour rien Tu vas dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui ne s'intéresse à rien? Stoïque comme un nain d'jardin Qui fait de l'ombre à ton bonheur? Une pierre à la place du cur On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi C'est sûr, j'suis pas sur le coup J'suis distrait, j'pense pas à tout Pas l'eau à tous les étages Même si j'atteins la limite d'âge Un ado daté Un rocker déprimé Ça t'arrange de m'voir comm' ça Bon... allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Instrumental C'est sûr, j'suis pas sur le coup J'suis discret, j'oublie surtout Les choses pouvant m'faire du mal J'tiens pas compte de mon signe astral Un ado daté Teenager attardé Ça t'arrange de m'voir comme ça Bon... allez on va dire que c'est moi Qui fuit comme l'eau dans la main D'vant l'angoisse du quotidien Qui s'dérobe devant les dames Quand ça tourne au psycho-drame? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui dit qui sait pas lire l'heure Qu'a peur d'un ordinateur? Qui trouve pas net l'Internet? Qui cherche encore sa planète? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui se lève tous les matins Tournant l'dos à son destin Qui s'veut aimable et affable Qu'est mêm' pas un homme à femmes? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi
A Christmas To Remember
Composer(s): Beverly Darnell - Chris Eaton - Amy Grant
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Twinkling lights A chill is in the air And carols everywhere Close your eyes, it's almost here Candles and cards And favorite movie scenes The smell of evergreen As special as it's always been And I have a dream or two Maybe they will come true
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight We'll wake up to a world of white It's gonna be a Christmas to remember Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole Always sentimental and don't you know that It's gonna be a Christmas to remember
I know it's true Time doesn't stand still Many things can change But we know some things never will The memories we share The songs we always sing The mystery of life The hopefulness this season brings And I have a dream or two Maybe they will come true
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight We'll wake up to a world of white It's gonna be a Christmas to remember Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole Always sentimental and don't you know that It's gonna be a Christmas to remember
