Said I Love You ... But I Lied Composer(s): Michael Bolton; Robert John "Mutt" Lange Performer(s): Michael Bolton; Kilauea
You are the candle, love's the flame A fire that burns through wind and rain Shine your light on this heart of mine Til the end of time You came to me like the dawn through the night Just shinin' like the sun Out of my dreams and into my life You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied 'Cause this is more than love I feel inside Said I loved you but I was wrong 'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain How can mere words my heart explain This taste of heaven so deep so true I've found in you So many reasons in so many ways My life has just begun Need you forever, I need you to stay You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied 'Cause this is more than love I feel inside Said I loved you but I was wrong 'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong Said I loved you but I lied
You came to me like the dawn through the night Just shinin' like the sun Out of my dreams and into my life You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied 'Cause this is more than love I feel inside Said I loved you but I was wrong 'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong Said I loved you but I lied
Said I loved you But this is more than love I feel inside Said I loved you...But I lied

Sahara (We'll Soon Be Dry Like You) Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Jean Schwartz Performer(s): Esther Walker
King Ram-e-ses went to pieces seven thousand years ago And passed a law that Egypt must go dry He took the liquors from the slickers all the way to Jerico But kept a little toddy on the sly The desert of Sahara flowed with honey, so they say Till prohibition came along and dried it up one day
Sahara, we sympathize with you Sahara, now we're dry like you I know why Cleopatra put that snake against her skin She lost her mind completely when she lost her Gordon's Gin Omar Khyam took a leap into his caravan He took his wine glass, and away he flew And ever since All those Egyptians move their funny arms so queer They got that way From reaching for imaginary steins of beer Sahara, Sahara, now we're dry like you
I know just why Rebecca took her little pitcher to the well That old well just was camouflaging for a lager beer hotel Sahara, Sahara, now we're dry like you I've got the old Sahara prohibition blues
I Never Spend A Christmas That I Don't Think Of You
I Never Spend A Christmas That I Don't Think Of You Composer(s): Don Reid Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
The year you were snow queen
at the high school Christmas ball The night we got snowed in and prayed it wouldn't thaw The year I bought your bracelet and you bought me one too I never spend a Christmas that I don't think of you
The year I helped your Daddy trim the outdoor tree with lights You worked part time at Penney's and I took you home at night The Christmas Eve you told me you loved me and I knew I'd never spend a Christmas I wouldn't think of you
The night you planned the party to decorate the tree It snowed so hard no one could come, no one but you and me The year the senior class sold Christmas trees and mistletoe And we never thought that someday this would seem so long ago The Christmas Eve I told you I love you, well I do And I never spend a Christmas that I don't think of you I'll never spend a Christmas I won't be loving you
Saginaw Michigan Composer(s): Bill Anderson; Don Wayne First release by: Lefty Frizzell - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists
I was born in Saginaw Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman Too many times he came home with too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand
Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in this frozen ground so cold But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan I said, "Honey I'm a-coming home, please wait for me And you can tell your dad I'm coming home a richer man I've hit the biggest strike in Klondike history"
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan He gave me a great big party with champagne Then he said, "Son, you wild young ambitious man Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim"
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground The greedy fool is a-looking for the gold I never found It serves him right and no one here is missing him Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan
I Never Knew The Meaning Of Christmas
Composer(s): Evan Rogers; Carl Sturken
Performer(s): *NSync
Fa la la, la la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
Looking back on childhood days
I can't believe my foolish ways
Thought that Christmas only came from a store
Had to know what was there for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
I didn't know that there could be so much more
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Coming home for the holidays
Seeing friends from around the way
There was always something missing for me
All the sleigh rides, caroling
Didn't really mean anything
Without that someone who can make it complete
All the snow's falling down
There is joy all around
'Cause, girl, your love has shown me the way
And I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
(Singing la, la la la, la la la la)
La la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
(Singing la, la la la, la la la la)
Fa la la la
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Never knew, never knew, never knew, knew, knew)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Sagapo Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; S. Lebel; Ch. Bruhn Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Ils vivaient d'air du large et de soleil Dans l'île bleue bénie des dieux Je suis venue lui prendre un peu de ciel Je suis passée on s'est aimés
Sagapo dis-moi "je t'aime" Nous avons si peu de temps Pour un si grand amour Sagapo c'est un long poème Pour un petit mot sans illusion Et sans retour
On s'endormait dans les couleurs du soir On s'éveillait pour s'épouser Nos curs battaient au rythme des guitares Et on chantait sans y penser {au Refrain}
Va-t-il se taire Ce vent d'hiver Qui dit que tu N'existes plus
Sagapo dis-moi "je t'aime" Nous avons si peu de temps Pour un si grand amour Sagapo c'est un long poème Pour un petit mot sans illusion Et sans retour

I Know What I Want For Christmas Composer(s): Charlie Black; Dana Hunt Performer(s): George Strait
This the season for generosity A time to give and to receive My Christmas list consists of just one sweet dream....
I know what I want for Christmas this year I hope my note got to Santa on time Im a little bit nervous, Its kind of a big thing Im asking for I dont know if I deserve it but, boy, if I get it Ill never ask for anything more It shines, its new And its the one wish that I wish would come true This year for Christmas I just wanna be with you
We can build a little fire We can sit and talk for hours Well just have fun You can tell me what you did Christmas morning as a kid And well talk about all our Christmases to come
And if I hang a little mistletoe in every single doorway Im sure to get a kiss And is it too much to ask for a snowman kind of snow To complete this singular wish? It shines, its new I know what I want and nothin else will do This year for Christmas I just want to be with you
This year for Christmas I just want to be with you
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo liegt ein Land das fremde Füáe nie betreten? Sag mir wo - sag mir wo liegt der Strand wo alte Spuren Iängst verwehten? Sag mir wo - sag mir wo gibt es Seen die wie klare Spiegel scheinen
glänzt das Sonnenlicht auf unbewohnten Steinen Sag wo gibt es noch das letzte paradies? Sag mir wo - sag mir wo gibt es Menschen die nicht nur nach Reichtum streben? Sag mir wo - sag mir wo gibt es Menschen die noch frei und glücklich leben? Sag mir wo - gibt es Mädchen
die sich für ein ganzes Leben lang verlieben? Wo sind alle diese Wunder denn geblieben? Sag wo gibt es noch ein letztes paradies? Sag wo gibt es noch ein letztes Paradies?
Saffron Dormouse And Lizzy Bee Composer(s): Roger Glover Performer(s): Roger Glover
Saffron Dormouse: Pots and pans all spick and span hanging there in a tidy row careful Tom don't scuff up the floor please don't make me scrub it again today we're on our way to the ball
Lizzy Bee: All day long I'm working like a slave but you'll never hear me complain in the sunshine or the rain
Saffron Dormouse: I've been asleep all Winter and now the spring is here it's time for you to hear my song
Lizzy Bee: (hope it's not too long)
Saffron Dormouse: Every room is clean and bright now we'd better be on our way Tom make sure you've got everything lock the door and give me the key let's go to see the show at the ball
Lizzy Bee: Back to work tomorrow, but tonight going to eat and dance 'till I fall at the feast and at the ball
Scavengers and sycophants and flatterers and fools Pharisees and parasites and hypocrites and ghouls Calculating swindlers, prevaricating frauds Perpetrating evil as they roam the earth in hordes Feeding on their fellow men Reaping rich rewards Contaminating everything they see Corrupting honest me like me Humbug! Poppycock! Balderdash! Bah! I hate people! I hate people! People are despicable creatures Loathesome inexplicable creatures Good-for-nothing kickable creatures I hate people! I abhor them! When I see the indolent classes Sitting on their indolent asses Gulping ale from indolent glasses I hate people! I detest them! I deplore them! Fools who have no money spend it Get in debt then try to end it Beg me on their knees befriend them Knowing I have cash to lend them Soft-hearted me! Hard-working me! Clean-living, thrifty and kind as can be! Situations like this are of interest to me I hate people! I loathe people! I despise and abominate people! Life is full of cretinous wretches Earning what their sweatiness fetches Empty minds whose pettiness stretches Further than I can see Little wonder I hate people And I don't care if they hate me!
Safety In Numbers Composer(s): Joe Macre; Rick Witkowski Performer(s): Crack The Sky
There's so many people Going to the races They paint on their faces And smile They watch the days fly by And don't even ask why Meanwhile The world that surrounds them Looks whithered and half dead And even your own head's been there You feel the depression And join the procession Nowhere As you march in the madness You crawl with the sadness That you might not leave the parade While the drummers are pounding You hear this astounding voice say: "Don't fear Come here Don't cry Stand by There's safety in numbers And numbers don't lie Don't lie"
As the troops keep progressing You notice you've fallen behind And you're calling in fear But they're just too caught up In the way they've been brought up to here You halt for a minute And consider this strange voice Could this be your choice to lead?
You hold the depression And watch the procession procede
As the stranger gets nearer His image gets clearer He calls out and you hear him say "You've issued a May Day And May will be home for the day So Don't fear Come here Don't cry Stand by There's safety in numbers And numbers don't lie Don't lie"
To yourself when yourself is Telling you that you're all That you have so just listen to You
So exit the madness And enter the gladness And you will become quite aware You can end the depression And join the procession somewhere And "Don't fear Come here Don't cry Stand by There's safety in numbers And numbers don't lie Don't lie"
I Guess It's Christmas Time
Composer(s): Peter Bliss; Shelly Peiken
Performer(s): *NSync
Feel the magic in the air
Christmas is all around
Somethin' about this special time of year
A blanket of snow falls down from the sky
Voices of angels
Open our hearts so we can open our arms
And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time
Seein' the face of the little boys and girls
Singing their first "Noel"
A sweet refrain heard all around the world
A song of forgiveness, comforting peace
A time to remember, what life really means (life really means)
The important things (important things)
And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time...
Guess it's Christmas time...
Open our hearts so we can open our arms
And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time...
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time...
Merry Christmas
Safe In My Garden Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
Safe in my garden An ancient flower blooms And the scent from its nature Slowly squares my room And its perfume means such That it's causing me to swoon Safe in my garden (Could it be, we were hot-wired? Late one night while very tired) An ancient flower blooms (They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it) And the scent from its nature (With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand) We don't care where it lands we just throw it (Slowly squares my room) Somebody take us away Somebody take us away Safe in my garden (Could it be we were hot-wired late one night were very tired) An ancient flower blooms (They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it) And the scent from its nature (With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand) Slowly squares my room (We don't care where it lands we just throw it) (Somebody take us away) And its perfume means such (Somebody take us away) That it's causing me to swoon (Safe in my garden) When you go out in the street So many hassles with the heat (An ancient flower blooms) No one there can fill your desire (And the scent from its nature) Cops out with the megaphones Telling people stay inside their homes (Slowly squares my room) Man, can't they see the world's on fire? Somebody take us away Take us away Safe in our garden An ancient flower blooms And the scent from its nature (Cops out with the megaphones, telling people stay inside their homes) Man, the world's on fire (Slowly squares our room) Take us away Take us away
I Dream Of Christmas Composer(s): Brian May Performer(s): Anita Dobson
I sit alone by the fireside And watch the old year passing by Down the street they're singing party songs You know Christmas always makes me cry
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas Maybe my dreams will come true I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas I dream of Christmas and you
And so tonight my thoughts are reaching out Though you're a million miles away My dream is strong enough to see me through Our love's forever and a day
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas Maybe my dreams will come true I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas I dream of Christmas and you
And once again the world is filled with joy I want to share it far and wide Your spirit fills the air and comforts me I know you're always by my side
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas Maybe my dreams will come true I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas I dream of Christmas and you
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas Maybe my dreams will come true I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas I dream of Christmas and you I dream of Christmas and you
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
