It's A Blue World
Composer(s): Robert Wright; Chet Forrest
Performer(s): The Four Freshmen



It's a blue world without you
It's a blue world alone
My days and nights that once were filled with heaven
With you away, how empty they have grown

It's a blue world from now on
It's a blue world for me
The sea, the sky, my heart and I
We're all in an indigo hue

Without you, it's a blue, blue world
Without you, it's a blue, blue  world

Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Ralph Carmichael



Bring a torch, Jeanette Isabella
Bring a torch, come swiftly and run
Christ is born,
tell the folk of the village
Jesus is sleeping in His cradle
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Mother
Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son

Hasten now, good folk of the village
Hasten now, the Christ Child to see
You will find Him asleep in the manger
Quietly come and whisper softly
Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps 

It's A Big, Wide, Wonderful World
Composer(s): John Rox
Performer(s): Wynn Murray & Walter Cassel
and multiple other artists



It's a big, wide, wonderful world you live in
When you're in love, you're a master
Of all you survey
You're a gay Santa Claus

There's a brave, new, star-spangled sky above you
When you're in love you're a hero
A Nero, Apollo
The Wizard of Oz

You've a kingdom, power and glory
The old, old, oldest of stories
Is new, true
You've built your Rome in just one day

Life is mystic
A mid-summer's night you live in
A Turkish delight, you're in heaven
It's swell when you're really in love
It's swell when you're really in love 

Breath Of Heaven

Performer(s): Amy Grant;
and various other artists



I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father, you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Light up my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Light up my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Light up my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven 

Bonjour Noël



Bonjour Noël, voici que dans les rues
La neige est revenue comme un tapis tout blanc
Bonjour Noël, bonjour belles vitrines
Qui le soir s'illuminent pour la joie des passants
Les petits nez s'écrasent pour mieux les admirer
Et les yeux pleins d'extase sont tout émerveillés

Bonjour Noël, chacun fait sa demande
Toutes les mains se tendent vers les jouets rêvés
Bonjour Noël, sonnez, sonnez les clochettes
C'est aujourd'hui la fête de la terre et du ciel

Petit Noël, j'ai vu des ta de choses
Pardonnez-moi si j'ose vous demander tout ça
Un long tunnel pour un train mécanique
Une boîte à musique, une poupée pour moi
Ils mettent leurs galoches près de la cheminée
Au loin sonnent les cloches
Il est minuit passé

Bonjour Noël, dormez chers petits anges
Soyez sages, en échange vous serez exaucés
Bonjour Noël, sonnez, sonnez les clochettes
C'est aujourd'hui la fête de la terre et du ciel

Joyeux Noël, bravo, j'ai ma toupie
Moi, ma poupée chérie, et moi, mon martinet
Joyeux Noël, dans l'arbre qui scintille
Toutes les bougies brillent quelle belle journée!
Dansons, dansons la ronde autour du grand sapin
Et dans le vaste monde, c'est le même refrain

Noël, Noël, c'est la joie sur la terre
C'est le cœur qui espère du bonheur pour chacun
Bonjour Noël, sonnez, sonnez les clochettes
C'est aujourd'hui la fête de la terre et du ciel
Bonjour Noël 

It's A Big Old Goofy World
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine; Dylan Thomas Vance



Up in the morning
Work like a dog
Is better than sitting
Like a bump on a log
Mind all your manners
Be quiet as a mouse
Some day you'll own a home
That's as big as a house

I know a fella
He eats like a horse
Knocks his old balls
Round the old golf course
You oughta see his wife
She's a cute little dish
She smokes like a chimney
And drinks like a fish

There's a big old goofy man
Dancing with a big old goofy girl
Ooh baby
It's a big old goofy world

Now Elvis had a woman
With a head like a rock
I wished I had a woman
That made my knees knock
She'd sing like an angel
And eat like a bird
And if I wrote a song
She'd know ever single word

Kiss a little baby
Give the world a smile
If you take an inch
Give 'em back a mile
Cause if you lie like a rug
And you don't give a damn
You're never gonna be
As happy as a clam

So I'm sitting in a hotel
Trying to write a song
My head is just as empty
As the day is long
Why it's clear as a bell
I should have gone to school
I'd be wise as an owl
Stead of stubborn as a mule

It's A Beautiful Evening
Composer(s): Ray Rash; Dotty Wayne
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists



And so it begins but you can't have them all
Your heart has to settle down somewhere and sure enough one night it happens
The crickets, the mockingbirds, the perfume in the air, it's all there
You get the feeling mother nature is working overtime and you say to yourself this is it

It's a beautiful evening, what a beautiful evening
It's a beautiful evening for falling in love
The moon winked his eye
The stars agree that this is the night for you and me
And as soft as a willow every cloud is our pillow 
And all heaven and earth know what we're thinking of 
And darling they're so right so kiss and hold me tight
It's a beautiful evening for falling in love
And darling they're so right so kiss and hold me tight
It's a beautiful evening for falling in love

Bobby Wants A Puppy Dog For Christmas
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard



Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring electric trains
Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
That's the only song we hear him sing

Santa, please remember Bobby's lonely
The closest neighbour's farm is quite a ways
And the country school don't have no children Bobby's size
And I'd like to give him something he can raise

And Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring electric trains
But, Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
And that's the only song we hear him sing

Butch and Susie won't be here for Christmas
And he won't see his cousins now till spring
If we can find a playmate he can play with
Santa, that'll be all you have to bring

And Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring electric trains
But, Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
That's the only song we hear him sing 

Beautiful Day
Composer(s): Bono - The Edge - Adam Clayton - Larry Mullen
First release by: U2 - 2000



The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
You feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It`s a beautiful day
Don`t let it get away
It`s a beautiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by clouds
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouins fires at night
see the oil fields at first sight
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Don`t let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don`t have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Its a Beautiful day

Blue Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Eddie Miller; Bob Morris
Performer(s): Buck Owens; Ernest Tubb



Green is the color and joy it should be 
But I've got a blue blue Christmas tree
You took the happiness God gave you and me
And all you left for Christmas is a blue Christmas tree

Beneath it sets of package addressed to me from you
That I'm afraid to open I know it contains the blues
But merry Christmas darling wherever you may be
And I hope you will never have a blue Christmas tree

Beneath it sets of package addressed to me from you
That I'm afraid to open I know it contains the blues
But merry Christmas darling wherever you may be
And I hope you will never have a blue Christmas tree 

It'll Take A Long Time
Composer(s): Sandy Denny

Covered by multiple other artists



Oh it's like a storm at sea
And everything is lost
And the fretful sailors calling out their woes
As to the waves they're tossed

Oh they are all gentlemen
And never will they know
If there is a reason each of them must go
To join the cruel flow

And it'll take a long, long time
It'll take a long, long time
It'll take a long, long time
Oh it'll take such a long, long time

There is no need for rules
There's no-one to score the game
And there is nobody living in this town
As even knows its name

Oh it'll take such a long, long time
It'll take a long, long time
It'll take a long, long time
A long, long time

(Excuse me Miss but do you have any)
Blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree
I want some blue Christmas lights just as blue as me
The one I love has set me free but I still got her memory
Give me blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree

(Pardon me but do you have any)
Blue Christmas lights blue they've gotta be
Blue Christmas lights for that's how you left me
Although sweetheart you're far away I'll kiss your picture Christmas Day
Under blue Christmas lights on my Christmas tree

The one I love has set me free but I still got her memory
Give me blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree
I'll have have a blue Christmas cause you're not here with me 

It'll Come Back
Composer(s): Glenn Martin
Performer(s): Red Sovine



On our little girls' third birthday
She got a sandbox in the backyard to play
Sand was everywhere as she played and she laughed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass

It'll come back ...
It'll come back ...
Daddy dont be mad
God and the rain will bring it back

When our little girl just turned ten
She got a bike to ride with all her friends
She skinned both her knees as she played and she laughed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass

When our little girl turned seventeen
We built her a pool in the backyard that spring
All her friends came and they swam and they splashed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass

My wife and I sit on the porch all alone
As I look out across at my beautiful lawn
The house is quiet there's no children at play
And I said to my wife

"Honey, if you'll listen real close
You can still hear her say"

It'll come back (It'll come back)
It'll come back (It'll come back)
Daddy don't be mad
God and the rain will bring it back

It'll come back (It'll come back)
It'll come back (It'll come back)
Daddy don't be mad
God and the rain will bring it back

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blu, blue Christmas

If you hear somebody knockin' on your door
If you see somebody crawlin' across the floor
Baby it'll be me, I'll be lookin' for you
And if you see somebody climbin' up a telegraph pole
If you find a new lump in your sugar bowl
Baby it'll be me, I'll be looking for you

I'm gonna look in the mountains
Down in the deep blue sea
I'm gonna look in the forest
And look and look in every tree

If you find a new bait on your fishin' hook
And if you find a funny face in your comic book
Baby it'll be me I'll be lookin' for you
(Well, keep on lookin')

I'm gonna look in the cities
Where the lights are blue
Gonna search the country side
And the haystacks too

Well if you see something shootin' out across the stars
If you see a rocket ship in it's way to Mars
Baby it'll be me
Yeah I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
Well, I'll be lookin' for you

Si quelqu'un frappe à ta porte à minuit
Si ton téléphone sonne toute la nuit
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Et si tu trouves quelqu'un de caché sous tes draps
Sous ton lit et sous ta porte
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Ne sois pas cruelle
Et ouvre-moi ton lit
Dehors la nuit, il gèle
Ne me laisse pas sous la pluie

Si tu entends une voix à la radio
Si, à la télé, tu vois un gars très, très beau
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Let's go!

Si tu croises dans tes rêves, un héros
Qui t'embrasse et qui t'enlève en moto
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Si quelqu'un, à ta fenêtre vient frapper
Toi qui habites au quinzième, ne sois pas étonnée
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Ne sois pas cruelle
Et laisse-moi entrer
Ou sinon j'appelle
Et je réveille tout le quartier

Si quelqu'un frappe à ta porte à minuit
Si ton téléphone sonne toute la nuit
Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Ma chérie, c'est moi
Et j'ai besoin d'amour

Bill And Sally
Composer(s): Bill & Sally



(Sally) 
Bill get out of bed!
There's a burglar in the shed
Someone's making noise and there's a light
William raise your head
Did you hear what I said?
Careful now in case they have a knife

(Bill) 
Sally go to sleep
It's a couple from the street
They had nowhere to go to lay their head
They'd been sleeping on the road
Cos they had no place to go
I told them they could bunk down in the shed

(Sally) 
Bill get out of bed
There's a crying in the shed
The things you said now sound a little crazy

(Bill) 
Well they had no kids last night
Least none that were in sight
I guess the woman went and had her baby

(Sally) 
Bill get out of bed!
Did I hear what you said?
Are you telling me the woman was in labour?

(Bill) 
Well there was no room inside
With all your rellies and their pride
I was gonna tell you all about it later

(Sally) 
Bill get out of bed
There's lots of people in the shed
Some look rich and some as poor can be
See them through the open door
Kneeling on the garage floor
Why don't you take them out a steaming pot of tea

(Bill) 
Sally what's that light?
A flame up in the night
Like a laser beam there shining through the mist
Is it something 'bout my sight or something else out there tonight?
Just wait 'til I tell young Johnno about this!

Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Steve Marriott
First release by: Small Faces - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Over bridge of sighs 
To rest my eyes in shades of green 
Under dreamin' skies 
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been 

What did you do there? 
I got high 
What did you feel there? 
Well I cried 
But why the tears then? 
I'll tell you why 
It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 

Feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feeding ducks with a bun 
They all come out to groove about 
Be nicer than fun in the sun 

Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?) 
I'd like to go there now with you 
You can miss out school (won't that be cool) 
While I learn about the words of fools 
What will we do there? 
We'll get high 
What will you touch there? 
Touch the sky 
But why the tears then? 
I'll tell you why 

It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 

I feel inclined to blow my mind 
Get hung up feeding ducks with a bun 
They all come out to groove about 
Be nicer than fun in the sun 

It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 
It's all too beautiful 
Ha! It's all too beautiful
