Still, still, still The night is cold and chill! The virgin's tender arms enfolding Warm and safe the Christ child holding Still, still, still The night is cold and chill
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf Die Engel tun schön musizieren Bei dem Kindlein jubilieren Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!
Dream, dream, dream He sleeps, the Savior King While guardian angels watch beside Him Mary tenderly will guide Him Dream, dream, dream He sleeps, the Savior King
Seabirds Composer(s): Roger Waters Performer(s): Ken Langford & Crystal Kerr
Mighty waves come crashing down The spray is lashing high into the eagle's eye Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind is calling sailors to the deep But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear Surf is high an' the sea is awash An' a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun That was hot to touch And the sea was emerald green I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear And I can see you smile Surf comes rushing up the beach Now will it reach the castle wall and will it fall Catfish dappled silver flashing Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep
Step Into Christmas
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1973
Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to thank you for the year
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free
Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me

Souviens-toi des Noëls de là-bas Toi ce soir qui est loin comme moi Loin de notre pays brûlé par le soleil Je suis triste ce soir loin de tout J'ai envie de pleurer je l'avoue Pourtant les gens d'ici Heureux chantent Noël.

Someday At Christmas Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
and multiple other artists
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys Playing with bombs like kids play with toys One warm December our hearts will see A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars When we have learned what Christmas is for When we have found what life's really worth There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where men are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a Man No hungry children, no empty hand One happy morning people will share Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears All men are equal and no men have fears One shinning moment my heart ran away From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where men are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail Take hope because your love will prevail Someday a new world that we can start With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where men are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmastime Someday at Christmastime
Sea, Dreams & Fairytales Composer(s): Toy Caldwell Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band
Many people in life seem to set their sails For dream worlds just filled with fairytales Life comes and goes like the changing tide Keeping the real world that they live in out of their mind
Life is like the blackness of the sea And no one will ever understand this mystery
And heaven has a way to try and warn The poor fool that sets his ship towards the storm And as they head their ship into the raging wind That's the place where most dreams usually end (Instrumental Break)
Life is like the blackness of the sea And no one will ever understand this mystery
Unto the steps I hope I never descend It's too far to the top to start all over again So set your course and be careful you're not harmed Not like us, the sea, the dreams and fairytales Will always live on
Some Children See Him Composer(s): Alfred Burt; Wihla Hutson
Some children see Him lily white The baby Jesus born this night Some children see Him lily white With tresses soft and fair Some children see Him bronzed and brown The Lord of heaven to earth come down Some children see Him bronzed and brown With dark and heavy hair
Some children see Him almond-eyed This Savior whom we kneel beside Some children see Him almond-eyed With skin of yellow hue Some children see Him dark as they Sweet Mary's Son, to Whom we pray Some children see Him dark as they And ah! they love Him, too!
The children in each different place Will see the baby Jesus' face Like theirs, but bright and heavenly grace And filled with holy light O lay aside each early thing And with thy heart as offering Come worship now the infant King 'Tis love that's born tonight!
Socko The Smallest Snowball Composer(s): Freddie Morgan; Dave Myers Performer(s): The Bell Sisters
You've all heard of Alice In Wonderland Well, we have a little story We hope you'll understand It's about a little snowball We met the other day He actually spoke to us! And this is what he had to say
I'm Socko the smallest snowball But I never get a chance to play What fun for the other snowballs To be thrown back and forth all day
The kids all built a great big fort With snowballs big and round But when the battle finished I was still there on the ground
Oh, if they would only try me I'm small but I'm so fully packed I'm sure if I hit a window That window would be all cracked
The sun will soon be here they say And then I guess I'll melt away So please somebody come and play With Socko the smallest snowball
Oh, how I wish that I could be On top of some big hill Then I would roll right off and start To roll and roll until I'd get so big that all the kids Would point at me and stare And say I was the biggest, biggest Snowball anywhere
But, I'm, Socko the smallest snowball And it seems I never have much fun I'll bet if somebody would throw me I could make all the other kids run
One day a man chased all the kids He was so big and fat Oh, how the children laughed When I knocked off his big silk hat
Oh, why must I be so little? I wish I was real big instead Then if they built a snowman I might even be the head
With two big eyes A great big smile I'd make the kiddies Laugh all the while
Please somebody, give a trial To Socko the smallest snowball
Sea Of Love Composer(s): Paul Brady Performer(s): Paul Brady
Something in this mad town thrills me so Just one taste, and the juices flow Sure, I'd get crazy here before too long But right now, girl, I feel the tap is turned on Lately I've been fading away Like a old torn photograph, fingered and grey Losing myself inside this thing we share (Boom! Boom!)Babe, I'm coming up for air!
Dancing to the beat of the city at night No use in pretending that it won't feel right The power, the passion, the hunger in the eyes Something in this child's still in love with those lies We're together and you know it's true All I ever wanted was to be with you But sometimes I wonder how this dream can last When the best part of me keeps sinking so fast (feels like)
Drowning in a sea of love Going down for the third time, Baby Drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down And I'm praying to the stars above `Take me up to where my soul don't cry!' Cos I'm drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down, tumbling down
Now, I know darlin' it's a weakness in me Nothing that you do says I can't be free I dip in my foot till the toe gets wet Then I run home crying `Is this all I get?' Frightened to go, frightened to stay Frightened that our lovelight's fading away Somebody tell me how a man survives With his body and soul livin' separate lives (cos I'm)
Drowning in a sea of love Going down for the third time, Baby Drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down And I'm praying to the stars above `Take me up to where my soul don't cry!' Cos I'm drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down, tumbling down Tumbling down, tumbling down
Sea Of Joy (Italian Version: Al Ristorante - 1970) Composer(s): Steve Winwood First release by: Blind Faith - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Following the shadows of the skies Or are they only figments of my eyes? And I'm feeling close to when the race is run Waiting in our boats to set sail Sea of joy
Once the door swings open into space And I'm already waiting in disguise Is it just a thorn between my eyes? Waiting in our boats to set sail Sea of joy
Having trouble coming through Through this concrete blocks my view And it's all because of you
Oh, is it just a thorn between my eyes? Waiting in our boats to set sail Sea of joy
Snow Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow Snow, snow, I wanna wash my hands
my face and hair with snow Snow...I long to clear a path, and lift a spade of snow Snow, oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Snow, where it's snowing all winter through That's where I want to be Snowball throwing, that's what I'll do How I'm longing to ski through the Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow
Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow Snow, oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow What is Christmas with no snow? No white Christmas with no snow Snow...
I'll soon be there with snow, I'll wash my hair with snow And with a spade of snow, I'll build a man that's made of snow I'd like to stay up with you, but I recommend a little shut-eye Go to sleep, and dream of snow, snow, snow, snow
Sea Of Heartbreak (Danish Version: To Blå Øjne - 1969) Composer(s): Paul Hamilton; Hal David First release by: Don Gibson - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
The lights in the harbour, don't shine for me I'm like a lost ship, adrift on the sea
The sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on this sea of tears Sea of heartbreak
How did I lose you? Oh, where did I fail? Why did you leave me? Always to sail
This sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on this sea of tears Sea of heartbreak
Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore Back to your arms once more Come to my rescue Come here to me Take me and keep me Away from the sea
The sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on the sea of tears Sea of heartbreak Sea of heartbreak Sea of heartbreak
Snoopy's Christmas
Composer(s): Luigi Creatore; Hugo Peretti; George David Weiss
Performer(s): The Royal Guardsmen; Mike Andes
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum [Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree] du kannst mir sehr gefallen! [Of all the trees most lovely]
The news had come out in the First World War The bloody Red Baron was flying once more The Allied command ignored all of its men And called on Snoopy to do it again
Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below When Snoopy went up in search of his foe He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ring out from the land Asking peace of all the world And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know Or was it the bells from the village below
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine And forced him to land behind the enemy lines Snoopy was certain that this was the end When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"
The Baron then offered a holiday toast And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host And then with a roar they were both on their way Each knowing they'd meet on some other day
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man

All The Way From America Composer(s): Joan Armatrading Performer(s): Joan Armatrading
You called all the way from America and said "Hang on to love, Girl" But the weeks and the months and the tears passed by And my eyes couldn't stand the strain Of that promised love All the way from America
You called all the way from America and said "I'll soon be home, Girl" But the years and the tears and the fears passed by And my heart couldn't stand the pain Of that promised love All the way from America All the way from America
I stayed all alone and I waited `round For you to knock at my door But the knock never came, and no ring at all And now I sit and wonder why You made that first call All the way from America
I don't believe I'll stay here I don't think I want to wait here anymore And if you search for me, Baby Better bring some more love Than you declared All the way from America
