I'm Saving Up For Sally Composer(s): Eric Maschwitz; George Posford Performer(s): George Formby
I may be rather careful, a little slow to spend Don't often push the boat out and I haven't cash to lend It's not that I'm a meanie or spending comes amiss I'll tell you confidentially folks the reason for it is
I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a rainy day I save what I can spare, a penny here and there And just to keep us off the rocks I pop it in my money box Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know If Sally's saving up a bit for me
I haven't popped the question or asked her to be mine But Sally's such a darling I'll have to draw the line It may be any minute, I hope she'll say I will But till I've plucked my courage up I'll keep on saving still
'Cause I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a honeymoon I've got to buy a ring, a mattress with a spring There's one thing that I have to get, a nice new shiny bassinette Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be But before I go to that expense I'd like to know in self defence If Sally's saving up a bit for me
I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know If Sally's saving up a bit for me
O Come Little Children German Title: Ihr Kindelein Kommet Composer(s): Christoph von Schmidt; Johann Schulz
O come, little children, O come, one and all To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small Gods Son for a gift has been sent you this day To be your redeemer, your joy and delight
The hay is His pillow, the manger His bed The beasts stand in wonder to gaze on His head Yet there where He lieth, so weak and so poor Come shepherds and wise men to kneel at His door
Hes born in a stable for you and for me Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see In swaddling clothes lying so meek and so mild And purer than angels the heavenly child
See Mary and Joseph with love beaming eyes Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love While angels sing loud hallelujahs above
Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast And join in the song of the heavenly host
Now "Glory to God!" sing the angels on high And "Peace upon Earth!" heavenly voices reply Then come little children, and join in the day That gladdened the world on that first Christmas Day
Saving All My Love For You Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Michael Masser First release by: Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
A few stolen moments is all that we share You've got your family and they need you there Though I've tried to resist being last on your list But no other man's gonna do So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy living all alone My friends try and tell me find a man of my own But each time I try I just break down and cry 'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together Love gives you the right to be free You said be patient just wait a little longer But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door 'Cause tonight is the night for I feeling all right We'll be making love the whole night through So I'm saving all my love for you Yes I'm saving all my love Yes I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more 'Cause tonight is the night that I feeling all right We'll be making love the whole night through So I'm saving all my love for you Yeah 'm saving all my lovin' Yes I'm saving all my love for you, for you

I cried for you, I cried for you I cried for two, I lied for you
Saved by the bell on your own carousel Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well Now I'll walk down our great lane
I died for you, I died for two I'll live for you, I'll give to you
Saved by the bell on your own carousel Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well Now I'll walk down our great lane Now I'll walk down our great lane Now I'll walk down our great lane
O Bambino (One Cold And Blessed Winter) Composer(s): Remo Capra; Anthony Velona Performer(s): Sergio Franchi and multiple other artists
"One cold and blessed winter In ancient Bethelem A Child was born to save us Sing 'Halleluyah, amen Tu scendi dalle stelle O Re del cielo E vieni in'una grotta Al freddo, al gielo O Bambino, mio divino Io ti vedo qui tremar O Dio beato O quanto ti costo la vermi amato"
When I wake up in the morning And the 'larm gives out a warning I don't think I'll ever make it on time By the time I grab my books And I give myself a look I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
If the teacher pops a test I know I'm in a mess And my dog ate all my homework last nite Riding low in my chair She won't know that I'm there If I can hand it in tomorrow, it'll be all right It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
Go on out and gain the world But don't you lose your soul While you're trying Your truth is changing every day But your heart will let you Know when you're lying Well, you're running Running from me now Running like you've got a race to win Now you tell me our romance is over Time for you to start again
Save your love and tenderness Don't get lost in bitterness Save the dreams you had when we started Do the things you have to do But don't forget the love we knew Don't lose your love 'cause we've parted
You say you can't tell right from wrong Confusion's pulled the reins tight in your soul Tight in your soul Think it's all going to make sense That accomplishments are gonna make you whole Following Following confusion Running from someone who looks like me Stop and take a look inside you Now you tell me who it is you see
Save your love and tenderness Don't get lost in bitterness Save the dreams you had when we started Do the things you have to do But don't forget the love we knew Don't lose your love 'cause we've parted

Save This Dance For Me Composer(s): David Gates Performer(s): David Gates
I'll never forget That look in your eyes The first time I held you And we realized Something so special Was growing inside Feelings so deep Not easy to hide We talked of forever And how we would wait But the band started playing Now am I to late
Won't you save this dance for me And I will lead for you God has gave me one last chance Before my life is through And in your arms when the music stops Is where I want to be So tell him no And save this dance for me
No ones been able To hurt me before And I'll never love Like this anymore If there's no one else Like you in this world So much a woman But I call you girl I don't mean to doubt you But still I could lose I can't live without you So please will you choose
Won't you save this dance for me And I will lead for you God has gave me one last chance Before my life is through And in your arms when the music stops Is where I want to be So please be brave And save this dance for me
Nothing But A Child Composer(s): Steve Earle Performer(s): Steve Earle; and various other artists
Once upon a time in a far off land Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light
They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west Across the mountains far, but when they came to rest They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles And this miracle they prized was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child could wash those tears away Or guide a weary world into the light of day And nothing but a child could help erase those miles So once again we all can be children for a while
Now all around the world, in every little town Everyday is heard a precious little sound And every mother kind and every father proud Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed
Nothing but a child could wash those tears away Or guide a weary world into the light of day And nothing but a child could help erase those miles So once again we all can be children for a while

You can dance Go and carry on Till the night is gone And it's time to go If he asks If you're all alone Can he take you home You must tell him no 'Cause don't forget who's taking you home And in whose arm's you're gonna be So darlin' save the last dance for me
Noel: Christmas Eve, 1913 Composer(s): Robert Bridges; Lee Holdridge Performer(s): John Denver; BBC Welsh Chorus; The Muppets
A frosty Christmas Eve, when the stars where shining I traveled for the home, where westward falls the hill And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley Distant music reached me, peels of bells were ringing
Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmasses When shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields And they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell Whether it were angels or the bright stars a-singing
But to me heard afar, it was starry music The singing of the angels, the comfort of our Lord Words of old that come a-traveling by the riches of the times And I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill And I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill

Noël Sous Les Tropiques Composer(s): A. Canfora; Guy Bertret; Chr. Jollet Performer(s): Tino Rossi
C'est Noël, c'est Noël
Allongé sur le sable d'or Que la mer vient broder Dans le bleu d'un ciel de décor Je me suis éveillé Loin, très loin de mon beau pays Que décembre blanchit Je suis là dans ce paradis Seul, tout seul sans amis
Noël des tropiques, malgré ton soleil Noël des tropiques, tu n'es pas un vrai Noël
Je revois mes Noël d'antan Où dansaient devant moi La maison sous son manteau blanc Le sapin plein de joie Mais ici les petits enfants N'ont pas de cheminée Pour pouvoir y poser devant Ce soir-là leurs souliers
Noël des tropiques, avec ton soleil Noël des tropiques, tu n'es pas un vrai Noël
On m'a dit que Papa Noël Ne serait jamais noir Et pourtant là-haut vers le ciel Monte le même espoir Cette nuit au-dessus de moi Une étoile a brillé C'est la même que tout là-bas Ton cur a regardé
Noël des tropiques, malgré ton soleil Noël des tropiques, tu es quand même Noël
