I'm With You
Composer(s): Mickey Jupp
Performer(s): Delbert McClinton



Here comes the weekend, honey
What's going on?
Do we put our feet up, honey
Or call it all night long?
Oh, baby, whatever... 
I'm With You

Are we staying home, are we going downtown?
Are we dressing up baby, or dressing down?
Oh, whatever... 
Baby, I'm With you

You're my sunshine in the morning
You're my stars at night
You're all I ever dream about
Anything you want
Well, baby, that's alright
Anything you don't
I can learn to live without as long as...

I'm with you, till the Sun stops burning
I'm with you, till the world stops turning
Till the end of time 
Oh, I'm with you

You're my sunshine in the morning
You're my stars at night
You're all I ever dream about
Anything you want
Well, baby, that's alright
Anything you don't
I can learn to live without as long as...

I'm with you, till the Sun stops burning
I'm with you, till the world stops turning
Till the end of time, baby, I'm with you
Till the end of time 
Oh, baby, I'm with you

All I Want For Christmas
Composer(s): Ronnie Rogers
Performer(s): Toby Keith



You could shop until you drop
At every mall in town
Searching for that special gift for me
Cowboy boots, a hunting suit
That would be just fine
But you can't buy the biggest wish of mine

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you
Twelve more months of loving
A heart so sweet and true
Make me a promise
That's the best that you can do
All I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

I could make a list of my requests
And send them to Santa Claus
Tell him what a good man I've been
He could land up on our rooftop
Bring it all on Christmas eve
But you've still got the greatest gift for me

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you
Twelve more months of loving
A heart so sweet and true
Make me a promise
That's the best that you can do
All I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

I could be so happy
Holding you by firelight
Listening to you whisper
I'm yours for life

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you
Twelve more months of loving
A heart so sweet and true
Make me a promise
That's the best that you can do
All I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

I'm Wearing My Heart Away From You
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris



I wonder where you are tonight, my love 
As all alone I sit and dream
I wonder if your heart's with me tonight
And if the same stars for you gleam
I sometimes fear there is another love
Some fairer face has won your heart
But Ah, I hope the day will never come
The day that we two must live apart

The bees are droning in the wild wood, love
The flowers their tiny heads bow low
The birds are singing soft and plaintively
They miss your dear kind face I know
From o'er the meadow comes a faint perfume
It whispers gently, "Love you're true"
But Oh, my darling, if you only knew 
I'm wearing my heart away for you

I'm wearing my heart away for you 
It cries aloud, "My love be true" 
I dream of you by night, I long for you by day
I'm wearing my heart away for you 

All Alone On Christmas
Composer(s): Steven Van Zandt
Performer(s): Darlene Love
and multiple other artists



The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark
I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start
The bells will be ringing Saint John the Divine
I get a little lonely every year around this time

The music plays all night in Little Italy
The lights will be going up on old Rockefella's tree
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
All I want for Christmas is you

(Tell me) I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas

Things are different since you've been here last
Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past
Maybe you can bring us some hope this year
Visions of sugar plums have disappeared

Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow
And dancing all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"
Today's celebration is bittersweet
There's mothers and children in the street

(Tell me) I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas

I'm all grown up but I'm the same you'll see
I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe
Dear Santa I've been good this year
Can't you stay a little while with me right here

(Tell me) I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas

I'm Walking Behind You
Composer(s): Billy Reid
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher
and multiple other artists



I'm walking behind you, on your wedding day 
And I'll hear you promise, to love and obey 
Though you may forget me, you're still on my mind 
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind 

Maybe I'll kiss again, with a love that's new 
But I shall wish again, I were kissing you 
'Cause I'll always love you, wherever you go 
And though we are parted, I want you to know 
That if things go wrong dear, and fate is unkind 
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind 

If things should go wrong dear, and fate is unkind 
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind

I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me, uh, uh

I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waiting for your company
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me

What you gonna do when the well runs dry

I'm gonna be right by your side
for you, pretty baby, I'd even die

I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me

I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me, uh, uh

I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waiting for your company
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me

What you gonna do when the well runs dry
you gonna sit right down and cry
what you gonna do when I say bye, bye
all you're gonna do is dry your eye

I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me 
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me

Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt

dann hast du Weihnachten verpennt)

I'm Waiting Just For You
Composer(s): Henry Glover; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Lucky Millinder
and multiple other artists



You had to leave me
All by myself, dear
And I've been crying
The whole night through

But I've been telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you

Your friends are trying
So hard to tempt me
There's no use trying
Cause I'll be true

And, darling
You don't have to worry
Nobody else will do

I know this waiting
Can drive me crazy
Don't mind the waiting
It's nothing new

For I'll be telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you

May be a long time
Before I see you
So we can do
What we used to do

But I'll be telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you
I'm waiting just for you

Advent
Performer(s): Loriot



Es blaut die Nacht 
Die Sternlein blinken
Schneeflöcklein leise niedersinken
Auf Edeltännleins grünem Wipfel
häuft sich ein kleiner weißer Zipfel
Und dort, vom Fenster her durchbricht
den dunklen Tann' ein warmes Licht
Im Forsthaus kniet bei Kerzenschimmer
die Försterin im Herrenzimmer
In dieser wunderschönen Nacht
hat sie den Förster umgebracht
Er war ihr bei der Heimespflege
seit langer Zeit schon sehr im Wege
So kam sie mit sich überein
Am Nicklausabend muß es sein
Und als das Rehlein ging zur Ruh'
das Häslein tat die Augen zu
Erlegte sie - direkt von vorn' -
den Gatten über Kimm' und Korn
Vom Knall geweckt rümpft nur der Hase
zwei-, drei-, viermal die Schnuppernase
Und ruhet weiter süß im Dunkeln
Derweil die Sternlein traulich funkeln
Und in der guten Stube drinnen
da läuft des Försters Blut von hinnen
Nun muß die Försterin sich eilen
den Gatten sauber zu zerteilen
Schnell hat sie bis auf die Knochen
nach Waidmanns Sitte aufgebrochen
Voll Sorgfalt legt sie Glied auf Glied
- was der Gemahl bisher vermied -
Behält ein Teil Filet zurück
als festtägliches Bratenstück
Und packt zum Schluß - es geht auf vier -
die Reste in Geschenkpapier
Da dröhnt's von fern wie Silberschellen
Im Dorfe hört man Hunde bellen
Wer ist's, der in so tiefer Nacht
im Schnee noch seine Runde macht?
Knecht Ruprecht kommt mit goldenem Schlitten
auf einem Hirsch herangeritten!
"Heh, gute Frau, habt ihr noch Sachen
die armen Menschen Freude machen?"
Des Försters Haus ist tief verschneit
doch seine Frau steht schon bereit
"Die sechs Pakete, heil'ger Mann
's ist alles, was ich geben kann!"
Die Silberschellen klingen leise
Knecht Ruprecht macht sich auf die Reise
Im Försterhaus die Kerze brennt
Ein Sternlein blinkt 
Es ist Advent

I'm Waiting For The Man
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



I’m waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I’m waiting for my man

Hey, white boy, what you doin’ uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin’ our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it’s the furthest from my mind
I’m just lookin’ for a dear, dear friend of mine
I’m waiting for my man

Here he comes, he’s all dressed in black
Pr shoes and a big straw hat
He’s never early, he’s always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I’m waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody’s pinned you, but nobody cares
He’s got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I’m waiting for my man

Baby don’t you holler, darlin’ don’t you bawl and shout
I’m feeling good, you know I’m gonna work it on out
I’m feeling good, I’m feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that’s just some other time
I’m waiting for my man

A Winter's Tale
Composer(s): Mike Batt; Tim Rice
Performer(s): David Essex;
Michael Ball; Foster & Allen



The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
I can follow you no more
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows it's hard to be alone
At this time of year
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world wide scale
It's just another winter's tale
Why I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you hear
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length of your time on earth
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world wide scale
It's just another winter's tale

I'm Waiting For Ships That Never Come In 
Composer(s): Jack Yellen; Abe Olman
Performer(s): Art Gilham
and multiple other artists



I'm waiting for ships that never come in
I wonder where they can be...

Life is only a game of poker
And "happiness" is the pot
Fate deals you five cards in the cradle
And you play, whether you like it or not

Some get a pat hand to start with
And the game doesn't seem on the square
When you look at your hand and discover
You were born without even a pair

But there's no use in kicking or squawking
Just pick up your cards and begin
To figure and plan and puzzle
While Fate looks on with a grin

Some take a chance at bluffing
And stake everything they've got
On a dinky little four-flush
And, sometimes, it wins the pot

Others will break up openers
To draw for a middle straight
They know what a chance they're taking
And they learn their mistake too late

Some can't help playing crooked
Against all good advice
But they seldom get away with it
And in the end, they'll pay the price

The most of us play straight poker
But I tell you, boys, it's hard
When you're there with both ends open
And you can't draw the winning card

Now I've always been a loser
It seems that I never can win
And I'm just a dreamer who's
Waiting for ships that never come in

I wonder where they can be

A Warm Little Home On A Hill
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder



There's a warm little home on a hill
And the presents are hiding somewhere
And the world is so peaceful and still
You can almost hear love in the air

There's a blanket of snow on the ground
And a bright little star in the sky
And your heart knows that Santa is near
By the twinkle in everyone's eye

There's gift bringing and bells ringing
And warm little feet by the fire
There are kids playing and folks praying
And somewhere the sound of a choir

There's two people that never will part
And two stockings we still have to fill
There's a warm little place in my heart
For our warm little home on the hill

I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap
Composer(s): Don Reno; Charles Schroeder
Performer(s): Reno & Smiley
and multiple other artists



There'll be no detours in heaven 
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap 
The Ten Commandments they tell me what to do
The twelve disciples are my road signs 
And Jesus will take me safely through

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap 
The children of Israel used it too
They crossed the Red Sea of destruction 
For God was there to see them through

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

A Visit From St. Nicholas
Composer(s): Clement C. Moore
Performer(s): David Timson



Down the chimney St.Nicholas came with a bound
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a pedlar just opening his pack
His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly
He was chubby and plump - a right jolly old elf -
And laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself

I'm Tying The Leaves (So They Won't Come Down)
Composer(s): E.S.S. Huntingdon; J. Fred Helf
Performer(s): Grandpa Jones



Playmates were they, girl and lad
She's home today, lad feels sad
Doctor, he called, whispered low
"When the first autumn leaves fall, then she must go" 

Lad, with a tear, climbs a tree
"I'll keep her here" murmurs he
Big man in blue sternly cries
"What are you doing there?" Lad replies

"I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So the wind won't blow them away
For the best little girl in the whole wide world
Is lying so ill today
Her young life must go when the first leaves fall
I'm fixing them tight so they'll stay
I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So Nellie won't go away" 

Sad mother grieves, day by day
Watching the leaves, hears boy say
"You mustn't cry, for, you see
I've tied all the leaves fast up on the tree" 

Doctor brings joy one sad day
Mother tells boy: "Nell will stay"
Lad at girl's side, cries with glee
"That's what I said one day in the tree

"I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So the wind won't blow them away
For the best little girl in the whole wide world
Is lying so ill today
Her young life must go when the first leaves fall
I'm fixing them tight so they'll stay
I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So Nellie won't go away"

A Virgin Most Pure
(Traditional)



A virgin most pure, as the Prophets do tell
Hath brought forth a Babe, as it hath befell
To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin
Which Adam’s transgression hath wrapt us all in

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

At Bethlehem city, in Jury it was
Where Joseph and Mary together did pass
And there to be taxed, with many one more
For Cæsar commanded the same should be so 

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

But, when they had entered the city so far
The number of people so mighty was there
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small
Could get in the city no lodging at all 

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

Then were they constrained in a stable to lie
Where oxen and asses they used to tie
Their lodging so simple, they held it no scorn
But against the next morning our Savior was born 
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide


The King of all glory to this world being brought
Small store of fine linen to wrap him was sought
When Mary had swaddled her young Son so sweet
Within an ox manger she laid Him to sleep 

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

Then God sent an Angel from heaven so high
To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie
And bid them no longer in sorrow to stay
Because that our Saviour was born on this day 

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

Then presently after, the Shepherds did spy
A number of Angels appear in the sky
Who joyfully talked and sweetly did sing
To God be all glory, our Heavenly King 

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

Three certain Wise Princes, they thought it most meet
To lay their rich offerings at our Saviour’s feet
Then the Shepherds consented, and to Bethlehem did go
And when they came thither, they found it was so

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
 
								

I'm Tore Down

First release by: Freddie King - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

Well I went to the river, to jump in
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when"

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

I love you baby with all my heart an' soul
A love like mine will never grow old
I love you in the morning and in the evening too
But ev'rytime you leave me I get mad with you

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

I love you baby with all my might
A love like mine is out a sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe your love is true

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this when my baby can't be found

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I'm tore down, 'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

A Very Private Christmas
(French Version: Noël À Paris)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Dee Shipman
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Wiener Symphoniker



It's Christmas, Mary
Fairy lights are on the tree
It's Christmas, Mary
Dark and deep, the world asleep is set
For you and me

It's Christmas, Mary
It's Christmas Eve, I can't believe
The year has flown
Let's have a very private Christmas Evening
On our own

It's Christmas, Mary
Carefree moments can be bliss
It's Christmas, Mary
Here below the mistletoe
We two can slowly kiss

It's Christmas, Mary
This is our chance to touch and dance
While we're alone
And have a very private Christmas Evening
On our own

The children will be wide awake tomorrow
With noise, and toys, and snowmen dressed in white
For now let's just forget about tomorrow
Let's concentrate on you and me
Tonight

It's Christmas, Mary
Merry Christmas, I love you
It's Christmas, Mary
Dear, it's late, why hesitate
When nights like these are few

It's Chrismas, Mary
Why should we wait to celebrate
As lovers do
Let's have a very private Christmas Evening
Just for two
