All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You
Composer(s): Buck Owens; Don Rich
Performer(s): Buck Owens
and multiple other artists
Here it is Christmas Day and you're many miles away And I wonder if you feel the way I do In the air there's happiness but in me there's loneliness For all I want for Christmas dear is you
Presents wrapped in green and gold have no arms for me to hold No lips to whisper softly I love you Oh how happy I would be to find you underneath my tree For all I want for Christmas dear is you
Presents wrapped in green and gold have no arms for me to hold No lips to whisper softly I love you Oh how happy I would be to find you underneath my tree For all I want for Christmas dear is you
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
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
Im waiting for my man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to lexington, 125 Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive Im 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
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, as the Prophets do tell
Hath brought forth a Babe, as it hath befell
To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin
Which Adams 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 Saviours 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
