Écoutez les clochettes
Du joyeux temps des fêtes
Annonçant la joie
Dans chaque cœur qui bat
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver

Sous la neige qui tombe
Le traîneau vagabonde
Semant tout autour
des chansons d'amour
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver

Le voilà qui sourit sur la place
Son chapeau, sa canne et son foulard
Il semble nous dire d'un ton bonace
Ne voyez-vous donc pas qu'il est en tard

Il dit vrait tout de même
Près du feu, je t'emmène
Allons nous chauffer dans l'intimité
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver 

It Was I
Composer(s): Gary Paxton
Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham 
and multiple other artists



You're telling everybody I'm the one
To blame for all the wrong that you have done
The day that you walked out and left
Didn't say goodbye
Who was left alone to sit and cry?
It was I
It was I

I gave you everything I ever had
The only things I got from you were bad
The times you didn't show up
The times you didn't call
Who was left alone with it all?
It was I
It was I

My love was always yours
To treasure and to hold
If you let a love go by
It will soon grow cold
Temptation is too strong to hide
Are you really satisfied
With my love the way it is?
Let me tell you how it is

So please come back and try to start anew
I know that it's the proper thing to do
Darlin', if we make up
I know we'll never break up
Then I know it's only me and you
Me and you
Me and you

At Christmas
Composer(s): Isaac Hanson; Taylor Hanson; Zachary Hanson
Performer(s): Hanson



Snows falling down as you step out of your car
Presents in your arms and you've traveled far
Someone opens the door with a smile on their face
And you know you've come to the right place

Family nestled by the fire
Christmas hopes to inspire
Loved ones by your side 
You know you'll kiss your babies goodnight

At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are, how far you've come
This is where you belong
At Christmas

Memories round the Christmas tree
Are the sweetest ones that remain with me 
It's a comfort deep inside, though you can't stop the race of 
time
To know that Christmas will always be

Family nestled by the fire
A Christmas hope will be inspired
Loved ones by your side
You know you'll kiss your baby goodnight

At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are how far you've come
This is where you belong, where you belong
At Christmas

Can't you feel it changin'
Sense the anticipation
You can tell we're almost there
Precious time we're takin'
Memories we're makin'
There's Christmas in the air

Now this is what Christmas means to me
Being together with your family
And the wise men who followed that star
To where our baby Jesus lay

Family nestled all around
Baby Jesus asleep so sound
And his star shines so bright
On that very first holy night

At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are how far you've come
This is where you belong
At Christmas, Christmas 

It Was Always Always You
Composer(s): Debra Clinger; Ardie Tillman; Jacquie Wiseman
Performer(s): Rock Flowers



Hey boy, I wanted to tell you
Something nice to know in your head
Some night when you're really lonely
You may need something more than I said

I know you won't come near me
I know you're still gonna leave
Don't go, until you hear me
Don't go, until you believe

It was always, always you
Nobody else but you
It was always, always you
Nobody else but you

Hey boy, you think I'm crazy
No lies, I swear it's all true
Don't run, 'cause it's not easy
After all the scenes we've been through

Someday you'll love somebody
And you won't know what to do
You'll feel the way that I'm feeling
You'll say what I'm saying to you

It was always, always you
Nobody else but you
It was always, always you
Nobody else but you

It was always, always you
Nobody else but you

At Christmas
Composer(s): Mabel Caroline Bjornstad; Terry Kluytmans



How busy Santa's elves must be
Making toys for you and me
Dolls and drums and other things!
Oh, what joy our Christmas brings!

At Christmas, Santa packs his sleigh
Then sets out upon his way
Taking presents 'round the world
For good little boys and girls

On Christmas morn, when I arise
I cannot believe my eyes!
Santa must have heard my prayer
There's a puppy on the stair!

It Was Almost Like A Song
Composer(s): Hal David; Archie Jordan
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap
and multiple other artists



Once in every life 
Someone comes along
And you came to me
It was almost like a song

You were in my arms
Right where you belong
And we were so in love 
It was almost like a song

January through December
We had such a perfect year
Then the flame became a dying ember
All at once you weren't here

Now my broken heart 
Cries for you each night
And It's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write

Now my broken heart 
Cries for you each night
And It's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write

It's too sad to write

As Lately We Watched



As lately we watch'd o'er our fields thro' the night
A star there was seen of such glorious light
All thro' the night, angels did sing
Carols so sweet of the birth of a King

A King of such beauty was ne'er before seen
And Mary His mother so like a queen
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born

His throne is a manger, His court is a loft
But troops of bright angels, in lays sweet and soft
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name
And earth, sky and air straight are filled with his fame

Then shepherds, be joyful; salute your new King
Let hills and vales ring to the song that ye sing
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born

It Was A Very Good Year
((French Versions: Ma Plus Belle Année (Romuald) - 1963; C'était Une Très Bonne Année (Robert Charlebois) - 2001))

Covered by multiple other artists



When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen 

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one 

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five 

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year 

It was a mess of good years

Arre, Burro, Arre



En la puerta de mi casa
voy a poner un petardo
"pa" reírme del que venga
a pedir el aguinaldo

Pues si voy a dar a todo
el que pide en noche buena
yo si que voy a tener
que pedir de puerta en puerta

Arre borriquito, arre burro arre
anda más deprisa que llegamos tarde
Arre borriquito vamos a Belén
que mañana es fiesta
y al otro también

Que el que quiera comer pan
que no venga a mi cena
en el portal de Belén
la Virgen es panadera

Pues si voy a dar a todo
el que pide en noche buena
yo si que voy a tener
que pedir de puerta en puerta

*Estribillo*

En el cielo hay una Estrella
que a los Reyes Magos guía
hacia Belén para ver
a Dios hijo de María

Cuando pasan los monarcas
sale la gente al camino
y a Belén se van con ellos
para ver al tierno Niño

*Estribillo*

En la puerta de mi casa
voy a poner un petardo
"pa" reírme del que venga
a pedir el aguinaldo

Pues si voy a dar a todo
el que pide en noche buena
yo si que voy a tener
que pedir de puerta en puerta

Quand j'avais 17 ans
C'était une très bonne année, c'était une très bonne année
Pour les filles de la ville et les douces nuits d'été
Nous nous cachions des lumières sur la place du village
Quand j'avais 17 ans

Quand j'avais 21 ans
C'était une très bonne année, c'était une très bonne année
Pour les filles des grandes villes qui vivaient dans des immeubles
Qui se parfumaient les cheveux et les détachaient
Quand j'avais 21 ans

Quand j'avais 35 ans
C'était une très bonne année, c'était une très bonne année
Pour les filles au sang bleu, aux moyens indépendants
Nous roulions en limousine, leurs chauffeurs les conduisaient
Quand j'avais 35 ans

Maintenant les jours se font courts, je suis dans l'automne de l'année
Et maintenant je compare ma vie à un vin de bon cru
Sorti de vieux tonneaux subtils de la première goutte jusqu'à la lie
Qui se déversaient sucrés et clairs
C'était une très bonne année, c'était tant de bonnes années gâchées

Arre Borriquito



Venid, pastorcitos
venid a adorar
al Rey de los cielos
que ha nacido ya

Arre borriquito
vamos a Belén
a ver a la Virgen
y al niño también

Rústico techo
abrigo le da
por cuna un pesebre
por templo un portal

Arre borriquito
vamos a Belén
que mañana es fiesta
y al otro también

Esta noche con la luna
y mañana con el sol
a Belén caminaremos
a ver pronto al Niño Dios

Vamos, pastores, vamos
vamos a Belén
a ver a ese Niño
las glorias del Edén

Quand j'avais 17 ans
C'était ma plus belle année
C'était ma plus belle année
Les filles gardaient leur premier baiser
Pour un soir d'été sous un ciel tremblant
Quand j'avais 17 ans

Quand j'ai eu mes 20 ans
C'était ma plus belle année
C'était ma plus belle année
Les filles rentraient au petit matin
Laissant leur parfum dans mon coeur brulant
Quand j'ai eu mes 20 ans

Quand j'ai eu 35 ans
C'était ma plus belle année
C'était ma plus belle année
Les filles pleuvaient, comme une pluie d'or
Et j'avais encore, gardé mes 20 ans
Quand j'ai eu 35 ans

Mais le temps se fait court
Et l'automne est venu
Quand je penses à la vie que j'ai connu
J'ai le coueur perdu, j'a le coeur noyé de mille beautés
Et c'est ma plus belle année
Et c'est ma plus belle année

It Was A Good Time
Composer(s): Mike Curb; Mack David; Maurice Jarre
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli; Mike Curb



I now pronounce you for the rest of your life
I now pronounce you man and wife

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
We would stay together and share the laughter
With never ever a morning after
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time

Since you're gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some time deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, early in the morning

Mama wakes up and she's alone
She's alone, she's alone
Mama wakes up and she's alone, early in the morning

... Falling down ... Lon ... My fair lady
Yes she looks a lot like him, yes she does, but, yes
My fair lady

Baby, baby Bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting
Daddy's gone!

... Dor-mei-vous, dor-mei-vous
Mama will stay near you, mama will be near you
Not your dad, that's too bad!

Good - bye - good - and I believed - ah-hah

Since you've gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some times deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when

It - was - a - good - time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time
A good... time...

Performer(s): Tish Hinojosa; Marlon



Arbolito, tengo siete anos, tengo pecas, yo te los regalo
Viene mamacita con luces y esferas para vestirte y ayudo 
Pero, no me deja con los Icicles

La cocina de comadres manos, chocolate tamales y ajo
Donde esta mi madrina y Santo Clos, no son los regalos que quiero
Solo el paquete, para adivinar

Donde pasan los anos y suenos y abrazos viejo navidad
Amistades parientes y el Andy Williams con noche de paz
Arbolito que brillante estas!

Arbolito tengo quince anos, tu estrella ya mero alcanzo
Lo que yo deseo es secreto, te digo, se llama
Ay mama mira mi hermana no deja con los icicles

Arbolito, tengo trienta y algo, cuantas veces hemos platicado
No mijita, pon las esferas, verdad que parece Better Homes magazine,
No me importa, son mis icicles

It Took Dreams
Composer(s): Sherman
Performer(s): Annette Funicello



Dream away … Dream away … Dream away

It took dreams to cross the ocean
It took dreams for man to fly
It took dreams to build the bridges
And the buildings that reach the sky

It took dreams and crazy dreamers
For the things we have today
So if you've got a dream and you don't be afraid to follow through 
No matter what they say, dream away

Christopho Columbo had a dream
Everybody said the world was flat
Christopho Columbo sailed the seas
Everybody had to eat his hat
Wilbur and his brother built a plane
Everybody said they were insane
They all began as dreams away

It took dreams to cross the ocean
(Christopho Columbo had a dream)
(Everybody said the world was flat)
It took dreams for man to fly
(Christopho Columbo sailed the seas)
(Everybody had to eat his hat)
It took dreams to build the bridges
(Wilbur and his brother built a plane)
(Everybody said they were insane)
And the buildings that reach the sky
(Everybody now once upon a shout)

(And then)

Mr. Franklyn flew his kite and key
He discovered electricity
Mr. Fulton sailed a boat by sea
All because he had a crazy dream

Moving pictures, radio, tv screens
Rockets to the moon and submarines
No matter what they say
Dream away

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for

Remember the time we swam naked in your father's pool
Boy, he was upset that night
But boy, was that ever cool
Remember that night we played pokeno for money
And U robbed me blind
Remember how U used to scream so loud cuz U...
U hated that number 9
Hey, I saw your sister skatin' on the lake this afternoon
Good heaven, how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters cuz she's so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know U are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star and I...

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for, listen

Do U still like banana daiquiris
boy we used to get so touched
U use to get so horny
U'd make me leave the lights on
I'd pay money just to see
your happy dancin' silouette upon the pier
Sometimes I think I hear U smilin
Sometimes I think your here
I find myself holding every pillow
N the bed U and I used to share
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling U shouldn't be
U shouldn't be there, cuz U see

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for, yeah

My mama used to say always trust your lover
But now I guess that only applies to her
Cuz baby, U promised me
Baby, U promised me U'd never leave
Then U died on the 25th day of December

Oh baby, last night, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, U, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for, yeah

Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said U were dead and I...
I say it's senseless
Every Christmas night for 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind
As long as I can hear U smiling, baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine, yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that make my love shout
U see, u are the only one I care for

I see you walk with him
I see you talk to him
It tears me up
It tears me up
And start my eyes to cryin'
Oh, oh, I can't stop cryin'

I see him kiss your lips
And squeeze your fingertips
It tears me up
It tears me up
I feel like I'm dyin'
Oh, oh, I must be dyin'

It's a cold, cold world I'm livin' in
I turn my back and there you are with my best friend
Oh sometimes we pass on the street darlin'
And you looked at me and you can say, "I'm sorry, my sweet"
Maybe just saying I'm sorry would be enough
But then you'd look back at him, with your perfect smile
And that'd make me feel kind of rough
Oh darlin It tears me up

I see you smile at him
You'll never tire of him
It tears me up
It tears me up
But there ain't nothin I can do now
Baby can't you see I'm still in love with you
Oh, can't you see I'm still in love with you, baby

Still waitin for something that I cannot have
Oh, baby, nothin' tears me up so bad
Can't you see that I'm still in love with you baby
Oh, that tears me up so bad now baby ...
