I'm Your Captain
Composer(s): Mark Farner
Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad



Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now, days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Or am I all alone

If you return me, to my home port
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now, take me back now
To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it
So, please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I can feel the hand, of a stranger
And it's tightening, around my throat
Heaven help me 
Heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat

I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
Ohhhh ...

I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Composer(s): Donald Gardner
Performer(s): Spike Jones;
and various other artists



Every body stops
and stares at me
These two teeth are
gone as you can see
I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth
my two front teeth
see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth
then I could with you
"Merry Christmas"
It seems so long since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
if I could only whistle (thhhh)

All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth
my two front teeth
see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas!"

Composer(s): Buck Owens; Jimmy Snyder
Performer(s): Buck Owens



A little boy with tear dimmed eyes 
with trembling lips he could not hide
Too young to undertsand why daddy said goodbye
The Christmas time is almost here and daddy won't be home this year
The little boy looked up at mommy and he cried

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to help me docorate the Christmas tree
Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

Mommy said if I'd be good and say my prayers the way I should
Maybe God would help bring daddy back to us
For it won't seem like Christmas day with my daddy far away
Cause we miss him so and love him oh so much

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to help me docorate the Christmas tree
Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
No don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

In my magic power
So make a wish
And I'll let it come true for you

All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle
Composer(s): Gladys Benton
Performer(s): Dora Bryan



Christmas come but once a year, they're really all the same
I never know just what I want
It really is a shame
Yesterday I saw something that is my pride and joy
All I want for Christmas is a real live little boy

All I want for Christmas is a Beatle
Not a teddy bear, just a Beatle
I told mum nothing else would do
There are four, so she can have one too
I don't care which ever one she gets me
Ringo, Paul, John, George, they're all the same
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle

There's nothing else I really want for Christmas
So mama please help me get my wish
Don't tell Dad 'cause I don't think he'll agree
To a Beatle hanging on our Christmas tree
But if I know I'm really gonna have one
Then I'll know my life will be complete
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle

All the girls are going to love me
When I introduce him as my Christmas toy
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle!

I'm Writing A Letter To Heaven
Composer(s): Doris Mayer; Bill Boyd
Performer(s): Wesley Tuttle
and multiple other artists



Once I had my darlin' beside me
To brighten the night and the day
But now she has left me forever
The angels have led her away

I'm writing a letter to heaven
To one that I always will love
I'm sending my heart in this letter
In care of the angels above

My life is so empty without her
The world is so lonesome and grey
I'm sending my heart in this letter
And that's where it always will stay

I know that I'll miss her forever
And that I'll be true through the years
And that's why I'm writing this letter
With ink that is made from my tears

All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You

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

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

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

Performer(s): Lucky Millinder

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
