It's All Over Now (French Version: Entre Nous C'est Fini - 1964) Composer(s): Bobby Womack; Shirley Jean Womack First release by: The Valentinos - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, baby used to stay out all night long She made me cry, she done me wrong She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well, she used to run around with every man in town She spent all my money, playing her high class game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there, with every man in town Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Christmas Day
Composer(s): Davie R. Hutch - G. Weiss
Performer(s): Linda Scott
How I wish you'd be with me on Christmas day Bells won't ring so merrily if you are far away With you it all would seem so right The tree, the snow and silent night How I wish you'd be with me to stay on Christmas day
How I wish you'd be with me on Christmas day Bells won't ring so merrily if you are far away With you it all would seem so right The tree, the snow, and silent night How I wish you'd be with me to stay on Christmas day
It's All Over Now Composer(s): Sunny Skylar; Don Marcotte Performer(s): Frankie Carle & His Orch. and multiple other artists
I used to love to hold you when the lights were down low But its all over now You used to whisper little things that set me aglow But its all over now
I listened to you tell me little white lies Never thought you meant to deceive Whoever would have doubted those innocent eyes And all the little kisses that you made me believe
Remember how I planned a little home by the stream Where wed spend every day You must have thought me crazy when I painted that dream Cause you threw it away
I kinda thought that things would be different Have a happy ending somehow But I guess you never loved me cos its easy to see That its all over now

Christmas Day is here and so are we Time for children and presents And Christmas tree happiness
Christmas Day is all that it should be Lights and carols and holly And all kinds of loveliness
Christmas bells ringing out goodwill to men and peace on earth Ev'rything they taught you when you were a child The things a child once taught the world
If Christmas day is really in your heart You don't have to save up all your love to give once a year Learn to give, try to live each day like Christmas Day
(Christmas bells ringing out goodwill to men and peace on earth) (Ev'ry thing they taught you when you were a child) (The things a child once taught the world)

Christmas Day
Composer(s): Dido Armstrong - Rollo Armstrong
Performer(s): Dido
The young gentleman came riding past On a snow-blue winter's day He asked to drink by our fire And I was pleased to let him stay He drank there quietly for a while And then he turned and said to me
Your eyes are green like summer grass Your lips are red like a fresh-cut rose Your hair is soft like an Irish stream And your voice is filled with sweet beauty And the last words I heard him say were I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day
And the night will come, but I won't sleep As I watch the stars that lead him I cannot place where he is But still my heart goes with him I'm saving all my Sunday clothes For the day that I'll be leaving
Father knows, my sister knows And my friends, they're happy for me And the priest he says, you should thank God For the blessing of such beauty And the last words I heard him say were I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
And the last words I heard him say Were the last words I ever heard him say
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day I said I will return on Christmas Day And yes, I shall return on Christmas day I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day My love, I will return on Christmas Day I shall return, my love, on Christmas Day On Christmas Day
Christmas Cookies

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe The ones that look like Santa Claus Christmas trees, and bells, and stars I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe Now Christmas cookies are a special treat The more she bakes the more I eat And sometimes I can't get myself to stop Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep And she'll take the ones I didn't eat And put those little sprinkly things on top I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe The ones that look like Santa Claus Christmas trees, and bells, and stars I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first And they're absolutely impossible to resist Some disappear to who knows where But I make sure I get my share And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe She gets mad that they're all gone Before she gets the icing put on Sure do like those Christmas cookies babe Now there's a benefit to all of this That you might have overlooked or missed So now let me tell you the best part of it all Every time she sticks another batch in the oven There's 15 minutes for some kissin' and'a huggin' That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long! Ah, Take it away boys I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe The ones that look like Santa Claus Christmas trees, and bells, and stars I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe...
It's All In The Game (Adapted from: Melody in "A" Major - 1912) Composer(s): Charles Dawes; Carl Sigman Performer(s): Tommy Edwards - 1951 and multiple other artists
Many a tear has to fall but it's all... in the game All in the wonderful game that we know... as love You had words with him and your future's looking dim but these things your heart can rise above Once in a while he won't call but it's all... in the game Soon he'll be there at your side with a sweet, bouquet Then he'll kiss... your lips and caress your waiting fingertips and your heart will fly away Once in a while he won't call but it's all... in the game Soon he'll be there at your side with a sweet, bouquet Then he'll kiss... your lips and caress your waiting fingertips and your heart will fly away
Christmas Cometh Caroling
Composer(s): Father Andrew
Performer(s): Voices Of Jimmy Joyce
and multiple other artists
Oh, Christmas cometh caroling And all the merry bells do ring To tell how angels once did sing Kneeling about their baby King Born of our Lady Mary
And it would be a shame to tell That only clang of brazen bell Should play Earth's part His praise to swell It must be you and I as well Who kneel to Lady Mary
Then shrive you clean and wash you white Keep vigil well this holy night While angels carol in the height We shall receive e're dawn of light Bread from the Babe of Mary
It's All I Can Do Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars and multiple other artists
one too many times I fell over you once in a shadow I finally grew and once in a night I dreamed you were there I canceled my flight from going nowhere
it's all I can do to keep waiting for you it's all I can do it's all I can do (it's all I can do)
one too many times I twisted the gate when I was crazy I thought you were great I kept my renditions of you on the wall where holiday romance is nothing at all
it's all I can do to keep waiting for you it's all I can do it's all I can do (it's all I can do)
you wait in the wing like a Saturday flirt protecting the judge, you don't want to get hurt once in a moment it all comes to you as soon as you get it you want something new
it's all I can do to keep waiting for you it's all I can do it's all I can do (it's all I can do)
it's all I can do to keep waiting for you it's all I can do it's all I can do (it's all I can do)
it's all I can do to keep waiting for you it's all I can do it's all I can do (it's all I can do) (repeat)
Christmas Children Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse Performer(s): Twiggy; and multiple other artists
Christmas children peep into Christmas windows See a world as pretty as a dream Christmas trees and toys Christmas hopes and joys Christmas puddings rich with Christmas cream
Christmas presents shine in the Christmas windows Christmas boxes tied with Christmas bows Wonder what's inside What delights they hide But till Christmas morning no one knows Won't it be exciting if it snows?
I suppose that children everywhere Must say a Christmas prayer Till Santa brings their Christmas things
Christmas children live in a Christmas daydream Waiting for the magic to unfold Wondrous things to eat Every Christmas treat Rich or not the Christmas pot of gold Hypnotizes children young and old
Christmas children hunger for Christmas morning Christmas day's a wonder to behold Young ones' dreams come true Not so young ones, too I believe that story we've been told Christmas is for children young and old
It's All Behind Us Now Composer(s): Allan Rich; Barry Manilow; Howie Rice Performer(s): Barry Manilow
I spent my whole life thinking Oh, that there could not be Anyone in this world Who'd show me they care Who'd really be there to love me
Now you're holding me And I see in your eyes That you've been lonely too baby
We've been all alone on our own for so long But it's all behind us The words no one heard when we sang our sad song Well it's all behind us now
Every time I looked for love It looked the other way Now love has turned around It's smiling at me Now someone loves me All the nights in the moonlight With no one to hold me Take a good look at us baby!
We've been all alone on our own for so long But it's all behind us The words no one heard when we sang our sad song Well it's all behind us
Every dream is coming true Now that I am holding you near Happiness without an end I feel alive again Suddenly I can not even remember when
We were all alone on own for so long But it's all behind us The words no one heard when we sang our sad song Well, it's all behind us now
I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve When a little girl of three or four climbed up on to my knee I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue So I asked her what's your name and what can Santa give to you
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could Then I sat her down and told her, now remember to be good She said I will, then walked away, turned and waved goodbye And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see old Santa cry
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone And made a few arrangements with the County Children's Home And they told me it would be all right to pick her up today Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say
My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own Well Merry Christmas Carol I love you, welcome home
It's All A Part Of Love Composer(s): Benny Davis; Ted Murray Performer(s): Jackie Wilson
One day your sad, the next day you're glad And it's all a part of love One day your heart may be breaking and then The next day it's mended again
One day you laugh,the next day you cry And it's all a part of love This is the story for thousands of years Love's made of laughter and tears
There's good and there's bad in the game of love they say But there's much more good than bad, for People fall in love, everyday
Aw, but one day your dream, goes tumbling it seems,and it's all a part of love Next day you kiss and you're in heaven above And it's all a part of love Yes, its all a part of love
Christmas Can't Be Very Far Away
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Roger Cook
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Little bits of heaven Floating gently by the window Soon this dirty city will be Covered with a new snow Let's put on our winter boots Go outside and play Christmas can't be very far away
Weather girl says "bundle up" It's gonna be a cold one I'll put on my wooly hat You'll wear your dad's old stetson Pretty lights are everywhere Shining night and day Christmas can't be very far away
Let's take a walk downtown and Go dream shopping in the mall The kids can do the santa thing Photographs and all We'll get the biggest tree this year And trim it to the top And spend a whole lot more Than what we've got But so what
Come next spring I know we will be Ready for the sunshine Right now throwin' snowballs At each other's such a fun time Kids will think we're crazy For a while and that's okay Christmas can't be very far away Christmas can't be very far away
It's About Time Composer(s): John Denver; Glen D. Hardin Performer(s): John Denver
Theres a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again Whos to say you have to lose for someone else to win In the eyes of all the people the look is much the same For the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game
Its about time we realize it were all in this together Its about time we find out its all of us or none Its about time we recognize it these changes in the weather Its about time, its about changes and its about time
Theres a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see And a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land With his lips upon our Mothers breast he makes his strongest stand
Its about time we start to see it the Earth is our only home Its about time we start to face it we cant make it here all alone Its about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind Its about time, its about changes and its about time
Theres a man who is my brother, I just dont know his name But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same And it hurts me when hes hungry and when his children cry I too am a father and that little one is mine
Its about time we begin to turn the world around Its about time we start to make it the dream weve always known Its about time we start to live the family of man Its about time, its about changes and its about time Its about peace and its about plenty and its about time Its about you and me together and its about time

Christmas can't be far away
A neighbour tipped his hat to me this mornin' The landlord even smiled and said good-day And I want you to know a stranger said hello Christmas can't be far away
Old tight wad down the street is buying candy To pass out to the neighbour kids at play The town is on the go The weather man said snow Christmas can't be far away
The small fry on our block have all been saving And now their hiding things and looking sly Mum will get that doodad she's been craving And Dad'll get his usual Christmas tie
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay Good will is in the air You feel it everywhere
Christmas can't be far away Christmas can't be far away

Christmas Auld Lang Syne
Composer(s): Robert Burns - Mann Curtis - Frank Military
First recording/First release by: Bobby Darin - 1960
and multiple other artists
When mistletoe and tinsel glow Paint a yuletide valentine Back home I go to those I know For a Christmas auld lang syne
And as we gather 'round the tree Our voices all combine In sweet accord to thank our Lord For a Christmas auld lang syne
When sleigh bells ring and choirs sing And the children's faces shine With each new toy we share their joy With a Christmas auld lang syne
We sing his praise this day of days And pray next year this time We'll all be near to share the cheer Of a Christmas auld lang syne
In sweet accord to thank our Lord For a Christmas auld lang syne
