One Wish (For Christmas)
Composer(s): Gordon Chambers; Barry Eastmond; Freddie Jackson
Performer(s): Whitney Houston
(Oooh oooh oooh oooh)
If there were no presents
Waiting on Santa's sleigh
What would I wish for Christmas
And if Frosty the Snowman
Were melting away
I would pray for hope and unity
On Christmas day
If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one
If Rudolph and his reindeer
Ran into delays
I'd still hope for joy this season
And if somehow Santa got lost on his way
I would try to find a way to smile
Smile on Christmas day
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah
Créeme, Ya Ves
((Adapted from: Say You, Say Me (by Lionel Richie) - 1985))
Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Laura Escuadra Nurén
Performer(s): Rosa - 2008
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor
Alguna vez, caigo en imaginar Tiempos sin maldad que no cuesta ayudar Pero lo sé, sé que así no es Lo que ves tú tan real, no es más que irrealidad
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor
Cuando una está sola entre multitud Necesita de una voz que revive en su interior Que llegue quien, sin más interés Ceda toda su amistad, por nada que cambiar, sin trampas
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor
De repente alguna vez, oh no, todo es fácil y a la vez, lo mejor eres tú Eres fuertes de por sí, ya ves, y llega un día más y vuelve a pensar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor
One Pair Of Hands
Composer(s): Barbarita Campbell; Mann Curtis
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
One pair of hands built the mountains
One pair of hands formed the sea
And one pair of hands made the sun and the moon
Every bird every flower every tree
One pair of hands formed the valleys
The ocean the rivers and the sand
His hands are so strong so when life goes wrong
Put your faith in the one pair of hands
One pair of hands built the mountains...
One small child
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of love
One small Savior of love
One king bringing his gold and his riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life
One King bringing us life
See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life
One small Savior of life
See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall
See his tiny eyelids fall
See his tiny eyelids fall
See the shepherds
See the kings
See his mother
See his tiny eyelids fall

There's magic in the air this evening Magic in the air The world is at her best, you know When people love and care The promise of excitment is one the night will keep After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

One Little Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
and multiple other artists
One little Christmas tree was standing alone
Waiting for someone to come by
One little Christmas tree that never had grown
Cried as he looked up to the sky
Oh please Mr Father tree, the tallest of all
I'm so afraid and alone
Could one little Christmas tree so tiny and small
Light up someone's home 'cause
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little child can find a toy
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little heart can find some joy
One little angel who was riding a star
Cried as she looked down at the tree
Oh please Mr Father tree wherever you are
May I give him the star you gave to me
Then in the heavens came a voice from afar
A voice that was heard throughout the world
Go down little angel girl and give him your star
Tonight he'll light the world 'cause
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see you on Christmas Day
She's Crazy For Leaving Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark Performer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark; Steve Wariner
Well the bus pulled away In a roaring black cloud While I stood in the road And honey I hollered right out loud
Hey darlin' I love you Hey bus driver whoa But you can't stop a woman When she's out of control
She's crazy for leavin' I told her so When the boys at the bus stop Just said man let her go She's crazy for leavin' I told her so But you can't stop a woman When she's out of control
So I punched out my truck On a telephone pole Now she never looked back She just said go driver go
Well I know I could have caught her But I ran out of luck She was long gone to Lufkin By the time they cut me out of my truck
She's crazy for leavin' I told her so When the boys at the bus stop Just said man let her go She's crazy for leavin' I told her so But you can't stop a woman When she's out of control
So I kicked and I cussed That old east Texas road I throwed rocks at my truck Which had busted my nose
You add insult to injury What do you get You get a bus stop full of honkies That don't ever forget
She's crazy for leavin' I told her so When the boys at the bus stop Just said man let her go She's crazy for leavin' I told her so But you can't stop a woman When she's out of control
One Child, One Day
Composer(s): Gerry House; Layng Martine Jr.
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
Three wise men, a shining star
A mother and a father who had come so far
How could they know about their son
And the miracle he'd become
That he held the soul of man
In his tiny little hands
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
'Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day
A small white church, a mountainside
Cathedrals filled with music, and golden light
Oh, we gather everywhere
For the peace that's always there
For the story that is told
Of a birth so long ago
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
'Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day
Say Yes Composer(s): Nicholas Caldwell Performer(s): The Whispers
Come here, lets talk dear There are things inside me, I want you to hear I want to soak into to you like rain Make love until my energy drains And as lust erases all shame Youll scream my name Out of pleasure not pain
If you just say yes I will do the rest
Come here, this is your hour Like raindrops on a flower Come bathe in my love shower Then let me blow your body dry Kiss the tears from your sexy eyes And as our passion begins to rise Well lay hypnotized by the pleasure inside
If you just say yes, please say yes Ill do the rest
Ooh, I want to build you a dream home Made of love not just wood and stone Give you the deed to all that I own Give you love beyond limit Give you babies in our image
If you just say yes Ill do the rest
Have you ever been kissed From head to toe, down your back Around to your navel? Well, you got that coming my sweet And even more tricks and treats Im willing and able because I love you Really, really love you And Im so damn proud of you baby Say Yes Baby please say yes!
Once Upon A Christmas Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers; Selah
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem Mary being great with child had no place to lie down So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away A King was born his palace was a manger filled with hay His royal robe was swadding cloth a halo was his crown Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him Unce upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem And all the world rejoiced...
All the world rejoiced... Unce upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Will There Be Any Stars? Composer(s): John R. Sweeney; Eliza E. Hewitt Performer(s): Alison Krauss and multiple other artists
I am thinking today of that beautiful land I shall reach when the sun goeth down When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand Will there be any stars in my crown?
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown When at evening the sun goeth down? When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest Will there be any stars in my crown?
In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray Let me watch as a winner of souls That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day When His praise like the sea billow rolls
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown When at evening the sun goeth down? When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest Will there be any stars in my crown?
O, what joy it will be when His face I behold Living gems at his feet to lay down It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold Should there be any stars in my crown
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown When at evening the sun goeth down? When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest Will there be any stars in my crown?
Once In Royal David's City Composer(s): Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander; "Irby" Henry John Gauntlett) Performer(s): Petula Clark; and various other artists
Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle-shed Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed Mary was that mother mild Jesus Christ her little child
He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all And His shelter was a stable And His cradle was a stall With the poor, and mean, and lowly Lived on earth our Saviour holy
Jesus is our childhood's pattern Day by day like us He grew He was little, weak, and helpless Tears and smiles, like us, He knew And He feeleth for our sadness And He shareth in our gladness

On This Day Composer(s): Michael Patrick Heeney; David Scarlett Performer(s): Reba McEntire; Omaha
The kids were up before dawn this morning Right to the Christmas tree they ran Called up the stairs for us to hurry Wait for this day for about as long as they could stand
While trading presents the little one asks me Why do we have Christmas each year I said long ago a child was born this day He's a gift more precious then all you see here
'Cause on this day A child was born In the town of Bethlehem And on this day God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill To all men Oh on this day we call Christmas We honor his name On this day We recall all the reasons he came On this day On this day
Grandma and Grandpa arrived after breakfast The rest of the gang by noon We spent the day watching football and breaking in toys Helping out in the kitchen Catching up on old news
When the dinner bell rang We all took our places Grandpa said who wants to say grace Before anyone else could utter a word Oh the little one bowed her head And she started to say
'Cause on this day A child was born In the town of Bethlehem And on this day God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill To all men Oh on this day we call Christmas We honor his name On this day We recall all the reasons he came On this day On this day
Oh on this day we call Christmas We honor his name On this day We recall all the reasons he came On this day On this day
Say That We're Sweethearts Again Composer(s): Brent Performer(s): Dorothy Shay
Life used to be a gay thing A filled with happiness, night and day thing It was something to have and to hold But it seems that your love grew cold
I never knew that our romance had ended Until you poisoned my food And I thought it was a lie When you kicked me in the pie But now I think it was rude
I never knew that our romance had finished Until that bottle hit my head Though I tried to be aloof When you pushed me off the roof I feel our romance is dead
It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd told me That someone had taken my place But no, you didn't even scold me You just tried to disfigure my face
You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking It looks so helpless, but then Life used to be so classic Won't you please put back that acid And say that w're sweethearts again
Oh, how well I remember That night in Bridgeport That was the night you gave me the hotfoot I thought that there was sort of a strange look in your eyes But you smiled, and well, it made everything alright Then there was the time we went canoeing And you set fire to my dress You said you pushed me overboard to put out the flame But I never quite understood why you held me under water so long Now, I've never met this girl who's taking my place But I wish you all the happiness in the world And if there's anything I can do You know you can always reach me in room number 304 In the General Hospital Farewell, my sweet
You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking It looks so helpless, but then My love can go just so far Won't you please put down that crow bar And say that we're sweethearts again

Ol' December's here at last Time for celebration Christmas present, Christmas past Tumble down together like the snow What a show Now the snowman Karen made Is melting by the roadside On the wind a serenade Of children's voices singing I believe I believe in love, I believe

Sentimental melodies Surround me like an old friend Spent a winter here with me Silently we watched the seasons change And they change so fast Fade away
On Christmas morning You awaken with a smile You hold me in your arms We watch the snowflakes fly And then you love me And I realize how sweet a life can be All the memories will always take me back Hold me back in time
On Christmas morning You awaken with a smile You hold me in your arms We watch the snowflakes fly And then you love me And I realize how sweet a life can be Oh, the memories will always take me back in time To Christmas morning On Christmas morning
