I swore when he hurt me so I wouldn't see him anymore But today he called my name Ooh, I could feel the same old flame
Should I do it Should I fall Should I do it After all Is it crazy, is it right I really wanna love him tonight

The Star Carol Composer(s): Wihla Hutson; Alfred S. Burt Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
Long years ago on a deep winter night High in the heav'ns a star shone bright While in a manger a wee baby lay Sweetly asleep on a bed of hay
Jesus, the Lord was that baby so small Laid down to sleep in a humble stall Then came the star and it stood overhead Shedding its light 'round His little bed
Dear Baby Jesus how tiny Thou art I'll make a place for Thee in my heart And when the stars in the heavens I see Ever and always I think of Thee

Oh hear the chimes ringing, its Christmas again With tidings of peace and good will to all men So greet every stranger and make him your friend For that is the spirit of Christmas (Christmas time oh Christmas listen theres bells in your heart) This I know: love must flow For love is the spirit of Christmas

A Song For Donny ((Adapted from: This Christmas (by Donny Hathaway) - 1971)) Composer(s): Donny Hathaway; Nadine McKinnor; Carrie Lucas Performer(s): The Whispers - 1979
People speak your name And think what a shame you're gone Still they know What you've left behind Lives in our hearts and minds Today and tomorrow
The clouds of darkness came your way You've given us a brighter day And your music will be So very, very special to me
Sometimes wealth and fame Whispered, "Play my game" But you, yes, you refused to Genius touched your soul Fortune not your gold God's gift is what changed you
A voice like silk would weave your spell And words of life, oh, only you tell And your music is gonna be Very, very special to me
In life's fleeting glance Few have met the chance to give All they can And though short you stay Before you went away with them Now you stand
Listening to your sounds of joy I thank one shy, ghetto boy And your music will always be So very, very special to me
Said I love you, Donny And you're gonna always be Very, very, very special to me Gonna miss one shy, little ghetto boy This is a song for you
Said I love you, Donny, and I miss you, Donny You're gonna always be a friend to me Miss you, Donny Yeah, I miss you, Donny
Alone Again (Naturally) ((Dutch Version: 1948 (by Gerard Cox) - 1972)) Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan First release by: Gilbert O'Sullivan - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to whoever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Where people saying: "My God, that's tough" "She stood him up" "No point in us remaining" "We may as well go home" As I did on my own Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to who wouldn't do The role I was about to play ? But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who if He really does exist Why did He desert me? In my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts Broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally
Shotgun Boogie Composer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford First release by: Tennessee Ernie Ford - 1950 Covered by multiple other artists
There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight I looked out the window and over the gate The big, fat rabbits are a-jumpin' in the grass Wait'll they hear my old shotgun blast Shotgun Boogie, I done saw your tracks Look out Mr. Rabbit when I cock my hammer back
Well, over on the ridge is a scaly bark Hick'ry nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark The big fat squirrels they scratch and they bite I'll be on that ridge before daylight Shotgun Boogie, all I need is one shot Look out bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the pot
Well, I met a pretty gal, she was tall and thin I asked her what she had, she said: "A Fox Four-Ten" I looked her up and down and said: "Boy, this is love" So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat dove Shotgun Boogie, boy the feathers flew Look out Mister Dove when she draws a bead on you
I sat down on a log, took her on my lap She said, "Wait a minute, bub, you got to see my Pap He's got a sixteen-gauge choked down like a rifle He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle" Shotgun Boogie, draws a bead so fine Look out big boy, he's loaded all the time
Well, I called on her Pap like a gentleman oughta He said: "No brush hunter's gonna get my daughter" He cocked back the hammer right on the spot When the gun went off, I outran the shot Shotgun Boogie, I wanted wedding bells I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells
The Secret Of Giving
Composer(s): Rick Bowles; Sunny Russ
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
In this life we all go through hard times
When we struggle and pray for a lifeline
Just needing someone
To show us the way
To you the glass might seem half empty
But it's half full to those without any
So hold on to hope
And try to have faith
Oh, you've got to have faith
If there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are
It's learning the meaning of giving
With an open heart
With an open heart
If you offer the best part of yourself
Even when you don't have anything else
Honest and true
It'll come back to you
Love comes back to you
If there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are
It's learning the meaning of giving
With an open heart
With an open heart
With your arms wide open
The world opens wide
And you'll believe it deep inside
That there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are
It's finding that true joy in giving
With an open heart
With an open heart
Je te lime jusqu'au sang

Je t'ai tirée des mille et des cents
A présent je sens indécent

Je voulais te le faire aux sentiments
Et même je t'aurais aimée sans

De mon

Rien à cirer de mon

Quand même ah problème
Si cela n'est pas

Si même tu mens Samantha
The Secret Of Christmas Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; and various other artists
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears It's not the Christmas cards you've sent for years Not the joyful sound when sleighbells ring Or the merry song children sing That little gift you send on Christmas Day Will not bring back the friend you've turned away So may I suggest the Secret of Christmas Is not the things you do at Christmas time But the Christmas things you do all year through
Shotgun Composer(s): Autry DeWalt II First release by: Jr. Walker & The All Stars - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists

The Reindeer Boogie Composer(s): Hank Snow; Charlie "Peanut" Faircloth; Cordia Volkmar Performer(s): Hank Snow; Trisha Yearwood; Dan Neale
Santa had a cup of coffee and he ate a little snack Thru his pack right over his back Open the windows of his little shack And Shouted Oh Dasher and Dancer Vixen and Blitzen come on here Were gonna get a-going and spread some cheer So limber your legs and sharpen your hooves 'Cause tonight is the night were gonna jump on the roof
Well the reindeer they were so proud and grand To take another trip all over the land They jumped right into thier proper place To get hepped up for that midnight race
Ol' Santa he shook off the ice and snow Boarded his sleigh and then yelled "Lets go!" All the little toys were happy too cause they were so bright and new A little piano then started to play Oh Santa began to swing and sway Thought he heard a toy drum starting to beat But he found it was just the rhythm of the reindeer feet
The reindeer boogied in the middle of the road Tonight we have a mighty big load Dont boogie to the left, now boogie to the right Do the reindeer boogie this Christmas eve night
Shot Down In The Night Composer(s): Steve Swindells Performer(s): Hawkwind; Steve Swindells
Numbers called as they're waiting in a line Camouflaged like a jungle snake Acting tough, just enough 'Til they start to break Then they're off with a rush of adrenalin Holding on to a world unseen The only sound is the pumping of the great machine
The secret's only for a few Superpower looks down on you Someone's watching every move You can break the lock and turn on the light You know your danger feelings are right Try to run or put up a fight You'll be shot down in the night Shot down like an animal
See them run like rats from the factory Push them out to the twilight zone Let them feed on their needs 'Til they're overthrown Take them up to a place in the gallery Show them God with an angel face Curtain call for the fall Of the Human race
Play it straight and it seems like a mystery Tell the truth and it sounds like lies Looking down at the ground With your angry eyes Play the game and you'll see there's a difference Join the ranks and you'll get your kicks See the world, and the girls, and the dirty tricks
The secret's only for a few Superpower looks down on you Someone's watching every move You can break the lock and turn on the light You know your danger feelings are right Try to run or put up a fight You'll be shot down in the night Shot down like an animal

The Peace Carol Composer(s): Bob Beers Performer(s): John Denver; and various other artists
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn The cloak of the soldier is weathered and worn But what Child is this that was poverty-born The peace of Christmas Day
The branch that bears the bright holly The dove that rests in yonder tree The light that shines for all to see The peace of Christmas Day
The hope that has slumbered for two thousand years A promise that silenced a thousand fears A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears The peace of Christmas Day
The branch that bears the bright holly The dove that rests in yonder tree The light that shines for all to see The peace of Christmas Day
Add all the grief that people may bear Total the strife and the trouble and care Put them in columns and leave them right there The peace of Christmas Day
The branch that bears the bright holly The dove that rests in yonder tree The light that shines for all to see The peace of Christmas Day
The branch that bears the bright holly The dove that rests in yonder tree The light that shines for all to see The peace of Christmas Day
Short People (Dutch Version: Fordbazen - 2003) Composer(s): Randy Newman First release by: Randy Newman - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Short People got no reason Short People got no reason Short People got no reason To live
They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tellin' great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Round here
Short People are just the same As you and I (A Fool Such As I) All men are brothers Until the day they die (It's A Wonderful World)
Short People got nobody Short People got nobody Short People got nobody To love
They got little baby legs And they stand so low You got to pick 'em up Just to say hello They got little cars That got beep, beep, beep They got little voices Goin' peep, peep, peep They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People 'Round here
