Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan and multiple other artists
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes Oh, who among them do they think could bury you? With your pockets well protected at last And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass Who among them do they think could carry you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums Should I leave them by your gate Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace And your basement clothes and your hollow face Who among them can think he could outguess you? With your silhouette when the sunlight dims Into your eyes where the moonlight swims And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns Who among them would try to impress you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums Should I leave them by your gate Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss And you wouldn't know it would happen like this But who among them really wants just to kiss you? With your childhood flames on your midnight rug And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs Who among them do you think could resist you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums Should I leave them by your gate Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide To show you the dead angels that they used to hide But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side? Oh, how could they ever mistake you? They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms How could they ever, ever persuade you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums Should I leave them by your gate Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show Who among them do you think would employ you? Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold And your saint like face and your ghostlike soul Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums Should I leave them by your gate Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
It's Sad To Belong Composer(s): Randy Goodrum Performer(s): England Dan & John Ford Coley; B.J. Thomas; Sofia
I met you on a springtime day You were minding your life and I was minding mine too Lady, when you looked my way I had a strange sensation and Darling, that's when I knew...
That it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along
Oh, I wake up in the night And I reach beside me hoping you would be there But instead I find someone Who believed in me when I said I'd always care...
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along
So I'll live my life in a dream world For the rest of my days Just you and me walking hand in hand In a wishful memory... Oh, I guess it's all that it will ever be...
I wish I had a time machine, I could Make myself go back until the day I was born Then I would live my life again And rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now on
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along

I Believe In Father Christmas Composer(s): Greg Lake; Peter Sinfield Performer(s): Greg Lake; and various other artists
They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night And they told me a fairy story 'Till I believed in the Israelite And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas you get you deserve
Sad Songs (Say So Much) Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain And ironing out the rough spots Is the hardest part when memories remain And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio 'Cause from the lips of some old singer We share the troubles we already know
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room Just feel their gentle touch When all hope is gone Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down When every single word makes sense Then it's easier to have those songs around The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you And it feels so good to hurt so bad And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don't you tune in and turn them on
Sad songs they say, sad songs they say Sad songs they say, sad songs they say so much
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don't you tune in and turn them on
How Many Cookies Can Santa Claus Eat?
Composer(s): Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Tom Paxton
Last Christmas Eve in our house before we went to bed
Daddy smiled at Momma and this is what he said
"It's a long, long night for Santa around the world and back
I believe Saint Nick'll get hungry, I believe he'd like a snack"
Sister get a glass of milk, brother get the jar
Look inside and tell me how many ginger snaps there are
We're leaving some for Santa, what a friendly thing to do
For it's hungry work he's doing and we don't want to leave too few
So
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
Can Santa Claus eat? Can Santa Claus eat?
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
How hungry will he be?
We'd better pile the plate so high
With cookies nearly to the sky
To feed Saint Nick so he can fly
To kids like you and me
We found some oatmeal cookies, some peanut butter too
And though we had no choc'late chip, Dad said these would do
We left them by the chimney, with a little note that said
With love to Santa from the kids all fast asleep in bed
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
Can Santa Claus eat? Can Santa Claus eat?
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
How hungry will he be?
We'd better pile the plate so high
With cookies nearly to the sky
To feed Saint Nick so he can fly
To kids like you and me
Next morning we were happy, with presents 'round the tree
We were so excited, that it took a while to see
That the glass was empty, and on the plate one crumb
And a note from Santa saying, Thank you, yum, yum, yum!
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
Can Santa Claus eat? Can Santa Claus eat?
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
How hungry will he be?
We'd better pile the plate so high
With cookies nearly to the sky
To feed Saint Nick so he can fly
To kids like you and me
Sad Movies (Make Me Cry) (French Version: Quand Le Film Est Triste - 1962) Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk First release by: Sue Thompson - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
He said he had to work so I went to the show alone They turned down the lights and turned the projector on And just as the news of the world started to begin I saw my darlin' and my best friend walk in
Though I was sittin' there they didn't see And so they sat right down in front of me When he kissed her lips I almost died And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
And so I got up and slowly walked on home And mama saw the tears and said "what's wrong?" And so to keep from telling her a lie I just said "sa-a-a-d movies make me cry"
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Sa-a-a-d movies make me cry-i-i
How Do I Wrap My Heart Up For Christmas Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Randy Travis Performer(s): Randy Travis; - 1989 Andy Cooney; Paul Overstreet
Silver bells are ringing, carolers are singing Snowflakes drifting through the air Everybody's shopping, got no time for stopping It looks like Christmas is here
So tell me, how do I wrap my heart up for Christmas I wanna give it to you Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving Your loving arms will have to do
At first I thought of giving you a pretty diamond ring Wore myself out shopping for a million other things Finally decided on something you can't buy But how will I disguise it so you will be surprised
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas I wanna give it to you Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving Your loving arms will have to do
A gift of love was given to the world so long ago Laying in a manger, He was wrapped in swaddling clothes And every year we celebrate and thank the Lord above And give to one another our little gifts of love
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas I wanna give it to you Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving Your loving arms will have to do
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving Your loving arms will have to do

Hot Rod Sleigh Composer(s): Toby Keith Performer(s): Toby Keith
I saw one of Santa's helpers at the grocery store today He was standin' at the front door givin' candy canes away And I told him I was worried about a certain situation How's Santa gonna get here with this risin' population
He said, I talked to the North Pole sometime late last week And it seems that dear ol' Santa has got somethin' up his sleeve As I leaned in to listen, he whispered in my ear He said, don't you dare repeat a single word of this, you hear
He said, boss man's all excited 'cause his new sled's almost ready And they say he's got it painted up, looks just like Richard Petty's And Rudolph and the reindeer, they're lookin' long and mean It's the fastest, highest flyin' Winter wonderland machine I ain't seen it for myself, but I heard say Santa Claus has got a hot rod sleigh
It's got a heater in the floorboard 'cause he's gettin' old, you know And a windshield with the wipers should he happen on some snow Landin' lights of red and white all stuck along the side So he can spot the rooftops as he's fallin' from the sky
He's got a king-size toy bin, locks in all the latches And a big old custom air seat with a safety belt that matches Only thing about it that worries him a heap Is that he might be here long before the children get to sleep
He said, boss man's all excited 'cause his new sled's almost ready And they say he's got it painted up, looks just like Richard Petty's And Rudolph and the reindeer, they're lookin' long and mean It's the fastest, highest flyin' Winter wonderland machine I ain't seen it for myself, but I heard say Santa Claus has got a hot rod sleigh
Well, I ain't seen it for myself, but I heard say Santa Claus has got a hot rod sleigh
Sad Lookin' Moon Composer(s): Randy Owen; Teddy Gentry; Greg Fowler Performer(s): Alabama
I thought that you could fly, I thought that you had wings I guess that I believed you'd never say goodbye But my world stopped turnin' 'round, the stars turned upside down It knocked me to the ground on my knees
Now there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me There's a sad lookin' sky as far as I can see I always believed and I thought the stars could see But there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me
I shared with you my dreams, I gave you everything I opened up my heart and I gave you my ring Well I spent days and nights just thinkin' about the time When you would be mine all my life
Now there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me There's a sad lookin' sky as far as I can see I always believed and I thought the stars could see But there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me
There's a sad lookin' moon A sad lookin' moon There's a sad lookin' moon Shinin' down on me

Marie a souffert, Marie a donné Naissance à minuit sonné A l'enfant de Dieu Les hommes l'ont su, ils ont entonné Un alléluia glorieux Comme pour remercier les cieux

Hosanna! Hosanna!
Marie a enfanté un roi Courez de par les continents Colporter la bonne nouvelle
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Cloches sonnez, jouez hautbois Il est né le divin enfant Cette nuit sera éternelle
Sad Lisa Composer(s): Cat Stevens First release by: Cat Stevens - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
She hangs her head and cries on my shirt She must be hurt very badly Tell me what's making you sad, Li? Open your door, don't hide in the dark You're lost in the dark, you can trust me 'Cause you know that's how it must be
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa
Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain Upon the pain getting deeper Though my love wants to relieve her She walks alone from wall to wall Lost in her hall, she can't hear me Though I know she likes to be near me
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa
She sits in a corner by the door There must be more I can tell her If she really wants me to help her I'll do what I can to show her the way And maybe one day I will free her Though I know no one can see her
Homecoming Christmas Composer(s): Ron Rogers Performer(s): Alabama
A glowin' fire and fallin' snow, they spark a memory Stockings hangin', mistletoe, presents beneath a tree A happy boy wakin' up to toys, and lookin' so surprised And wondering how Santa knew just when I closed my eyes
It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back where it all began Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again Memories so sweet and strong, and I've been gone too long It's Christmas time and I am goin' home
I can see the Christmas tree and feel the warm fireplace Handmade decorations, homemade pies and cakes Family together now,with so much love to share A special time and I can't wait, can't wait to be right there
It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back where it all began Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again Memories so sweet and strong, and I've been gone too long It's Christmas time and I am goin' home
It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back where it all began Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again Memories so sweet and strong, and I've been gone too long It's Christmas time and I am goin' home
It's Christmas time and I am goin' home Goin' home Goin' home

Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay She's comin' home today We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love Why must you look at me that way? It's over
Sad eyes, turn the other way I don't wanna see you cry Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day When we would have to say "goodbye"
Try to remember the magic that we shared In time your broken heart will mend I never used you, you knew I really cared I hate to see it have to end But it's over
Sad eyes, turn the other way I don't wanna see you cry Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day When we would have to say "goodbye"
Sad eyes, turn the other way I don't wanna see you cry Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day When we would have to say "goodbye"
