    Italian Restaurant
    (French & Spanish Versions: Le Restaurant Italien (Dalida); El Restaurante Italiano (Dalida))
    Composer(s): Jean-Michel Beriat - Jean-Pierre Goussaud - Newell
    Performer(s): Dalida



    Anytime that I`m feeling love
    There`s a place that I love to go
    A little castle in the sky
    Where I can watch the world go by

    A restaurant beneath the stars
    With mandolines and soft guitarres
    You meet the high life and the low
    The most amusing place I know

    When it`s time to wine and dine
    There`s a favorite place of mine
    Ring the Maître D'
    Ask if maybe he
    Can have a table free at nine
    He`ll be there to welcome me
    To this crazy comedy
    Where the rich and famous love to be

    You see the clientele walk in
    And watch the cabaret begin
    It`s such a special place to be
    There is so much that you can see
    You see the lover`s deep in dreams
    And those who querrel making scenes
    You see a maestro and the clown
    And all the famous from the town

    When it`s time to wine and dine
    There`s a favorite place of mine
    Ring the Maître D'
    And ask if maybe he
    Can have a table free at nine
    He`ll be there to welcome me
    To this crazy comedy
    Where the rich and famous love to be

    The pretty lady who appears
    Is trying hard to hide the years
    The gigolo who walks behind
    Is only mindy on his mind

    The movie star will always pose
    To get the maximum applause
    It`s like a circus everywhere
    And so exciting to be there

    When it`s time to wine and dine
    There`s a favorite place of mine
    Ring the Maître D'
    And ask if maybe he
    Can have a table free at nine
    He`ll be there to welcome me
    To this crazy comedy
    Where the rich and famous love to be

    My Italian restaurant
    Gives me everything I want
    La la la..
    My Italian restaurant
    Won`t you come along with me
    To this crazy comedy
    Where the rich and famous love to be

    Italian Girls
    Composer(s): Rod Stewart; Ron Wood
    Performer(s): Rod Stewart



    I've got two and more to show
    I was dreaming of a mobile
    that couldn't be mine not without lyin'
    Was I feeling kind a silly
    when I stepped in soakin' beer down the cola machine
    Oh, stayin' seventeen
    Well she claimed she was a killer
    and she owned a flood lit villa
    a little aways from the main highway
    Oh take me way down yonder

    She was tall, thin and tarty
    and she drove a Maserati
    faster than sound
    I was heaven bound
    Although I must have looked a creep
    in my army surplus jeep
    Was I being too bold
    before the night could get old
    No, no, no, no
    She proved me so wrong

    Oh the Italian girls sometimes hold their religious habits
    in front of your eyes, just to get you tied
    Ah but not my little Bella 'cause I did not have to tell her
    I'd rather you go with the morning sun, she made me so tired

    She took me way, way, away down yonder
    till I was gone with the morning sun on my back
    Gotta get on back there soon as I can
    Take me there
    And I miss the girl so bad
    She broke my heart
    Gotta get on back there soon as I can
    I miss the girl, I miss the girl, I miss the girl so bad
    I was a lot better off

    Tonight the stars shine for the children
    And light the way for dreams to fly
    Tonight our love comes wrapped in ribbons
    The world is right and hopes are high

    And from a dark and frosted window
    A child appears to search the sky
    Because it's Christmas
    Because it's Christmas

    Tonight belongs to all the children
    Tonight their joy rings through the air
    And so, we send our tender blessings
    To all the children ev'rywhere

    To see the smiles and hear the laughter
    A time to give, a time to share
    Because it's Christmas
    Because it's Christmas

    For now and forever for all of the children
    And for the children in us all

    Tonight belongs to all the children
    Tonight their joy rings through the air
    And so, we send our tender blessings
    To all the children ev'rywhere

    To see the smiles and hear the laughter
    A time to give, a time to share
    Because it's Christmas
    For now and forever
    For all of the children
    And for the children in us all

    First release by: Al Rogers
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I could wander the byways, rewander too
    But it wouldn't be the same without you
    Those familiair old places would just make me blue
    'cause it wouldn't be the same without you

    I wasted my love on a careless romance
    But I'd do it again, if I had the chance
    I could start my life over with somebody new
    But it wouldn't be the same without you

    I wasted my love on a careless romance
    But I'd do it again, if I had the chance
    I could start my life over with somebody new
    But it wouldn't be the same without you

    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem
    Shining far through shadows dim
    Giving the light for those who long have gone
    Guiding the wise men on their way
    Unto the place where Jesus lay
    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

    Oh beautiful star, the hope of light
    Guiding the pilgrims through the night
    Over the mountains till the break of dawn
    Into the land of perfect day
    It will give out a lovely ray
    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

    Oh beautiful star (Beautiful, beautiful star)
    Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem)
    Shine upon us until the glory dawn
    Give us a lamp to light the way
    Unto the land of perfect day
    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

    Oh beautiful star, the hope, the grace
    For the redeemed, the good and the blessed
    Yonder in glory when the crown is worn
    Jesus is now the star divine
    Brighter and brighter He will shine
    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

    Oh beautiful star (Beautiful, beautiful star)
    Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem)
    Shine upon us until the glory dawn
    Give us a lamp to light the way
    Unto the land of perfect day
    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

    Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on

    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Alura Mack



    It worries me
    You seem to be unhappy, and that worries me
    I hate to think that maybe I have made you blue
    Just what did I do, was I mean to you, wish I knew

    I worry so
    If anything is wrong, I have the right to know
    So while I hold you close and kiss you tenderly
    Tell it all to me, darling can't you see
    Anything that worries you, worries me

    Beautiful Star
    Composer(s): Eliza E. Hewitt



    The wise men of old saw a beautiful star
    Led on by its glory they traveled afar
    O'er mountain and valley 'til wanderings past
    Their gifts at the feet of the Savior they cast

    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Scatter the shadows of sin far away
    Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day

    The star of the East was the herald of day
    The light everlasting that fades not away
    Its beams rising higher, O hasten and see
    The Light of the world shines for you and for me

    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Scatter the shadows of sin far away
    Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day

    The star of His Word guards His people today
    To sweet joy in Jesus, 'tis leading the way
    Then still let us follow and lovingly bring
    Our hearts and our offerings to Jesus our King

    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Scatter the shadows of sin far away
    Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day

    To those who in darkness are straying afar
    We'll show the pure rays of the beautiful star
    We'll tell them of Jesus, that at His dear feet
    The saved of all nations shall joyfully meet

    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Beautiful, beautiful star of the East
    Scatter the shadows of sin far away
    Lead us to Jesus, the Star of the day

    Beautiful Christmas Composer(s): Mary B. Slade - Rigdon McIntosh



    O'er the hills and adown the snowy dells
    As the echoes ring of the Christmas bells
    Angel songs in our hearts resound again
    Singing peace on earth and good will to men

    Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
    Gladden the temple of the King tonight
    Christmas is here, fill it with cheer
    Make it glorious with joy and light

    Bring good will to the suffering and sad
    Speak the tender word that shall make them glad
    Tell them how, o'er the hills of Bethlehem
    When the angels sang, 'twas good news for them

    Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
    Gladden the temple of the King tonight
    Christmas is here, fill it with cheer
    Make it glorious with joy and light

    Peace on earth, bid all strife and tumult cease
    For this night again gives the Lord His peace
    While our hands shall His temple beautify
    Carol, glory be unto God most high

    Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
    Gladden the temple of the King tonight
    Christmas is here, fill it with cheer
    Make it glorious with joy and light

    So glad hearts on this happy Christmas night
    Bring your gifts of love, make His altar bright
    Sing glad songs that shall sweetly sound as when
    Angels sang of peace and good will to men

    Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
    Gladden the temple of the King tonight
    Christmas is here, fill it with cheer
    Make it glorious with joy and light

    Someone said that in each life some rain is bound to fall
    And each one sheds his share of tears
    And trouble troubles us all
    But the hurt can't hurt forever
    And the tears are sure to dry

    And it won't rain always
    The clouds will soon be gone
    The sun that they've been hiding has been there all along

    And it won't rain always
    God's promises are true
    The sun's gonna shine in His own good time
    And He will see you through

    Be A Child At Christmas Time Composer(s): Martin Broones - William A. Luce Performer(s): Doris Day



    Be a child at Christmas time with a merry heart aglow
    Through a frosty window pane you can see the falling snow
    Trim the tree with candy canes
    Listen to the church bell chime
    Say a little prayer at night
    Be a child at Christmas time

    Only children understand what a merry heart can do
    Be a child and you'll agree everything is bright and new
    When the snow comes dancing down and you hear the church bell chime
    Let your heart be young again
    Be a child at Christmas time

    Early in the mornin', when the sun come up
    you'll find me sittin' at the table
    drinkin' from a wooden cup
    The mortgage is a-comin', tryin' to take my home away
    I'm not gonna let it turn my head away

    It won't be right, no matter what they say
    Won't be right, tryin' to take my home away
    Won't be right, if they do this thing to me
    I don't have to take it and I really don't wanna see

    Early in the eve-in', long about supper time
    there's nothin' left here for me but a bottle of wine
    I'm gonna be evicted 'long about the hour of five
    Well, it's enough to make me wonder why I'm alive

    It won't be right, no matter what they say
    Won't be right, tryin' to take my home away
    Won't be right, if they do this thing to me

    Ballad Of The Harp Weaver Composer(s): Thelma Matesky Moore - Edna St. Vincent Millay Performer(s): Johnny Cash; Agnes Moorehead



    Son said my mother when I was knee high
    You need of clothes to cover you and not a rag have I
    There's nothing in the house to make a boy's britches
    Nor shears to cut a cloth with, nor thread to take stitches
    There's nothing in the house but a leaf end of rye
    And the harp with a woman's head nobody will buy and she began to cry

    That was in the early fall and when came the late fall
    Son she said the sight of you makes your mother's blood crawl
    Little skinny shoulder blades stickin' through your clothes
    And where you get a jacket from God above knows
    It's lucky for me lad, your daddy's in the ground
    And can't see the way I let his son go around and she made a queer sound

    That was in the late fall when the winter came
    I'd not a pair of bridges nor a shirt to my name
    I couldn't go to school or out of doors to play
    And all the other little boys passed our way
    Son said my mother come climb into my lap
    And I'll chafe your little knees while you take a nap

    And oh but we were silly for half an hour or more
    Me with my long legs draggin' on the floor
    I rocked, rocked, rocked to a mother goose rhyme
    Oh but we were happy for half an hour's time
    But there was I, a great boy and what would folks say
    To hear my mother singin' me to sleep all day in such a daft way

    Men say the winter was bad that year
    Fuel was scarce and food was dear
    A wind with a wolf's head howled about our door
    And we burned up the chairs and sat upon the floor
    All that was left us was a chair we couldn't break
    And the harp with a woman's head nobody would take for song or pity sake

    The night before Christmas I cried with the cold
    I cried myself to sleep like a two year old
    And in the deep night I felt my mother rise
    And stare down upon me with love in her eyes
    I saw my mother sitting on the one good chair
    A light falling on her face from I couldn't tell where

    Looking nineteen and not a day older
    And the harp with a woman's head leaned against her shoulder
    Her thin fingers moving in the thin tall strings
    Were weave, weave, weaving wonderful things
    Many bright threads from where I couldn't see
    Were running through the harp strings rapidly

    And gold threads whistlin' through my mother's hands
    I saw the web grow and the pattern expand
    She wove a child's jacket and when it was done
    She laid it on the floor and wove another one
    She wove a red cloak so regal to see
    She's made it for a king's son I said and not for me but I knew it was for me

    She wove a pair of bridges and quicker than that
    She wove a pair of boots a little cocked hat
    She wove a pair of mittens she wove a little blouse
    She wove all night in the still cold house
    She sang as she worked and the harp strings spoke
    But her voice never faltered and the thread never broke

    But when I awoke, there sat my mother
    With the harp against her shoulder lookin' nineteen and not a day older
    A smile about her lips and a light about her head
    And her hands in the harp strings frozen dead
    And piled up beside her, toppling to the skies
    Were the clothes of a king's son just my size

    It Will Stand
    Composer(s): General Johnson
    First release by: The Showmen - 1961
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Rock Roll, Rock Roll

    You take some music, music
    Sweet flowin' music
    Some movin' and groovin'
    Rock and roll will stand

    Take some heart beats drum beats
    Finger poppin' and stompin' feet
    Little dances that look so neat
    You see why it will stand

    Some folks don't understand it
    That's why they don't demand it
    They're out tryn' to end it
    Forgive them for they know not what theyre doin'

    Don't nick name it
    You might as well claim it
    It swept this whole wide land
    Rock and roll forever will stand

    Hear those sax blowin'
    Sharp as lightnin'
    Hear those drums beat
    Loud as thunder

    Some folks don't understand it
    That's why they don't demand it
    They're out tryin' to end it
    Forgive them for they know not what they're doin'

    Don't you rename it
    You might as well claim it
    It will be here for ever and ever
    Ain't gonna fade
    Never no never

    It swept this whole wide land
    Sinking deep in the heart of man
    Come on boy join our clan
    Come on boy take my hand
    Come on boy be a man
    'Cause rock and roll will stand

    Let's do it all over again
    I feel good let's do it again
    It'll be here for ever and ever
    Ain't gonna fade
    Never, no never ...

    Little Child (Daddy Dear)
    Composer(s): Wayne Shanklin
    Performer(s): Wes Montgomery
    and multiple other artists



    Daddy dear, tell me please, is the world really round?
    Tell me where is the bluebird of happiness found?
    Tell me why is the sky up above so blue?
    And when you were a child did your daddy tell you
    What becomes of the sun when it falls into the sea
    And who lights it again bright as bright can be?
    Tell me why can't I fly without wings through the skies?
    Tell me why, Daddy dear, are there tears in your eyes?

    Little one, little one, yes, the world's really round
    And the bluebird you search for will surely be found
    And the sky up above is so blue and clear so that
    You'll see the bluebird if it should come near
    And the sun doesn't fall when it slips out of sight
    All it does is make way for the moon's pretty light
    And if children could fly there'd be no need for birds
    And I cry, little one, 'cause I'm touched by your words

    Don't be sad, Daddy dear, if it's true the world's round
    I will search 'round the world till the bluebird is found
    Little one, there's no need to wander too far
    For what you really seek is right here where you are
    Show me where, Daddy dear, and here's what I will do
    I will take the dear bluebird and give it to you
    Dear, the bluebird's the love in your heart pure and true
    And I found it the day heaven blessed me with you!"

    It Will Be My Day
    (French Version: Je M'Voyais Déjà)
    Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Robert E. Morrison
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    At eighteen I grew restless for the city
    I'd see its lights that beckoned from afar
    I packed my dreams, assured I'd be successful
    I'd sing my songs, I'd soon become a star

    I needed clothes to make the right impression
    I bought a suit, the finest tailor-made
    Had an act, then designed, with the ladies in mind
    Endure the debt I felt would be repaid

    I dreamed I would be emblazoned in neon
    The biggest, the best, above all the rest, wherever I'd play
    I dreamed I would be acknowledged the greatest
    The cream of the crop, it's good at the top, I was there to stay

    The loveliest girls would gather around me
    With photos to sign, they all would be mine for less than a smile
    My curtain would cue, resounding ovations
    Their deafening roar would ring out for more, I'd go off in style"

    The older that I become, my features are ageing
    My voice is still there, my gesture's precise, my talent would glow
    At times I've had bitterness, for nothing has happened
    I've struggled and strived, but never arrived, and I'm still unknown

    And yet, yet I believe that my time is coming
    If given the breaks, I've got what it takes to go all the way
    Then under my feet the stage would be pulsing
    Finally I'd be there in the spotlights glare, it would be my day

    For thirty years it's been an endless circle
    I've made the rounds, they always look the same
    I sing my songs, but people seldom listen
    They never care, for they don't know my name

    To keep alive, I've played the third-rate bookings
    I have no choice, I take what I can find
    Sleazy clubs, little pay, easy girls, sleep all day
    But in my dreams, I leave it far behind

    I dreamed that I'll be relating the story
    Of how I prevailed when I should have failed, in my quest for fame
    I dreamed I would be enjoying my leisure
    Taking life in stride, ladies at my side, wild from the game

    On opening night, I'll calmly be reading
    The thousands of words from those who admire my standing alone
    The stage light would dim, the moment would quicken
    My heart in my throat, hearing the first note, I'd be on my own

    I tried to find a gimmick, to lift me from darkness
    I've sung about love, I've ?????? songs, a stale joke or two
    If everything fails and I'm left in the shadows
    The fault isn't mine, I asked for a chance, but nothing came through

    I have no one to thank, for no one has offered
    To give me a hand, or take any stand, that's out of their way
    But deep in my heart, I know, I know that I have it
    And I'll get my due life and start anew, it will be my day

    Baby's First Christmas
    It's baby's first Christmas
    It's somethin' to see

    A Christmas full of love!
