Three Weeks From Christmas
Composer(s): Duane Jarvis
Performer(s): Duane Jarvis



As I left your house 
Think it was a quarter to three 
You said do us both a favor 
Try to not call me 
Thought to myself as I closed the door 
Thought about what you said 

Now it's three weeks from Christmas 
It's getting colder 
I just can't wait until May 

As I drove home 
Streets always look just the same 
The only thing that ever changes 
Is the way that we play this game 
Thought to myself as I pulled into the driveway 
Thought about what you said 

Now it's three weeks from Christmas 
It's getting colder 
I just can't wait until May 

Three weeks from Christmas 
It's getting colder 
I just wait untill May 

Boston's cold 
But California's colder 
Colder than a night in New York 
Not a Philadelphia phone call 
Was that night 
That the thermometer froze 

I woke up remembering a dream I once had 
Was a guy with a girl 
Looked just like you 
So much that it just made me mad 
Screamed out loud as I jumped out of bed 
Thought about what you said 

Now it's three weeks from Christmas 
It's getting colder 
I just can't wait until May 

Now it's three weeks from Christmas 
It's getting colder 
I just can't wait until May 

Now it's three weeks from Christmas 
It's getting colder 
I just can't wait until May

Shower The People
Composer(s): James Taylor 
First release by: James Taylor - 1976 
Covered by multiple other artists



You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
if it feels nice, don't think twice

Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease

Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel

You'll feel better right away
Don't take much to do
Sell you pride
They say in every life
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine
Oh yes
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine
Yeah, all right
Everybody, everybody
Shower the people you love with love

Thistlehair The Christmas Bear
Composer(s): Donny Lowery
Performer(s): Alabama



The city's full of manger scenes
And stores lit up in red and green
But down the road just out of town
There's more magic to be found
The countryside is all aglow
With holly trees and mistletoe
And in them woods there lives a bear
Known to all as Thistlehair

Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreading the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the World
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair

He comes around this time of year
Spreading lots of Christmas cheer
The kids all love his shiny coat
And the smell of honey on his nose
He tells them all about the star
And everything that it stands for
The birthday we all celebrate
Is still our fav'rite holiday

Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreading the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the Wworld
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair

Wherever you find old Thistlebear
There'll be music in the air
He dances 'round the Christmas tree
Every single New Year's eve
Then he and all his furry friends
Gather 'round the fire again
And sing about those Angel wings
Gifts of love that Christmas brings

Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreading the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the World
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair

Thistlehair the Christmas bear
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Showdown At Big Sky
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson 
Performer(s): Robbie Robertson



Soldier of fortune
He's a man of war
Just can't remember
What he's fighting for
Start a revolution
Right before your eyes
When you hear the big bang
Don't you be surprised

Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon
People, people
Can you hear the sound
From every village and every town
Let the bells ring out
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out
Keep them ringing, ringing

Can't predict the future
Can't forget the past
Feels like any moment
Could be the last
All you believers
Standing inside this room
Can't you see it coming
Shooting out across the moon

Save this place
In the valley of tears
By the river of time
From weapons race
In the Book of David
In the holy Bible
When it's laid to waste
It will be written
By the children of Eden
I said save this place
And the Holy Ghost

Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon
People, people
Can you hear the sound
From every village and every town
Let the bells ring out
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out
Keep them ringing, ringing

Save this place
In the valley of tears
By the river of time
From weapons race
In the Book of David
In the holy Bible
When it's laid to waste
It will be written
By the children of Eden
I said save this place
And the Holy Ghost

Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
That day could be soon
Give us strength
Give us wisdom
And give us the morals
Let the bells ring out
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out
Keep them ringing, ringing
Let the bells ring out
Hear the bells ring in
Let the bells ring out
Keep them ringing, ringing

This Time Of The Year

Performer(s): Brenda Lee;
and various other artists



Little girls and little boys
Dream of worlds full of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near 

Oh, evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near 

And somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols
Of Christmas Day 

Yes, Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

We All Get Crazy At Christmas
Composer(s): David Bellamy
Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers



Well, there's a twenty-pound turkey in the oven
And there's a big old log upon the fire
Mama's a-runnin' 'round in her new frilly gown
Daddy's dressed in Santa Claus attire
All the kids hang stockings near the chimney
And in the livin' room there stands an old Spruce tree
What causes this family's strange behavior
I guess it's just that time of year, you see

We all get crazy at Christmas
Gather around and sing those yuletide songs
Yea!, we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord, I wish we could stay crazy all year long

Well, it's enough to make old Scrooge say "Season Greetings"
And it's enough to make the rich folks help the poor
Char-i-ty abounds - when that feelin' comes around
Why don't it come around some more

I want to thank Baby Jesus
Born in a manger long ago
'Cause on His birthday wars stop fighting for awhile
And it's the closest thing we have to peace on earth

We all get crazy at Christmas
Gather around and sing those yuletide songs
Yea!, we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord, I wish we could stay crazy all year long

Why don't we stay crazy all year long

Should Have Never Let You Go
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka



When you walk into a room
Your beauty steals my breath away
When you look into my eyes
I find it hard to find the words to say
Want to run away and hide
I've just got to let you know
Feel so tangled up inside
I should have never let you go
 
Anyone can make mistakes
And we both have made our share
But a life without your love
Is a life too hard to bear
I don't care who's right or wrong
Only know I love you so
Why did I have to write this song? 
I should have never let you go
 
Why? 
In all the wide, wide world 
Have I run into you here
Wish I could disappear
I'll never understand 
Why I even give a damn
 
When you walk into a room
You know I stand on shaky ground
I've built so many walls around me
Now the walls are tumbling down
You're the kind I can't forget 
Let the tears begin to flow
I have only one regret
I should have never let you go
 
Should have never let you go
Should have never let you go 
Should have never let you go 
Should have never let ......you go

This Is That Time Of The Year
Composer(s): Jack Jones
Performer(s): The Bee Gees



This is that time of the year
A tinselly, glittery time
Long distance calls to uncle and aunt
On ev'ry corner you bump into Santa
'Cause this is that time of the year
A holly and jolly old time
Windows are dressed in ribbons of silk
And Junior drinks all of his milk!
Poppa keeps buying presents
And sneaks them into the closet
Momma goes to the bank
But she holds out a dollar from ev'ry deposit

'Cause this is that time of the year
A silver bow, mistletoe time
Spirits are high, good will and good cheer
We're putting the tree up
The kids shouldn't be up
Saint Nick says, "Giddy-up!"
To Dasher, Dancer, Blitzen, Prancer
This is that time of the year!

This is that time of the year
A tinselly, glittery time
Dumpling and goose and pudding and pie
Perfect excuse to go right off your diet!
'Cause this is that time of the year
A holly and jolly old time
Snow on your roof, your face and your shoes
And presents that you'll never use!
Grandma feels twenty-two so
She dons her gayest apparel
Grandpa is full of good cheer
He stands at the spinet and sings ev'ry carol

'Cause this is that time of the year
A silver bow, mistletoe time
Spirits are high, good will and good cheer
We're putting the tree up
The kids shouldn't be up
Saint Nick says, "Giddy-up!"
To Dasher, Dancer, Blitzen, Prancer
This is that time of the year!

Show Me The Way

I wonder how your feeling 
There's ringing in my ears 
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea 
Who can I believe in 
I'm kneeling on the floor 
There has to be a force who do I phone
The stars are out and shinning, but all I really want to know...
Oh won't you show me the way 
I want you ...show me the way 
Well, I can see no reason
You living on your nerves 
When someone drops a cup and I submerge 
I'm swimming in a circle 
I feel I'm going down 
There has to be a fool to play my part 
Well someone thought of healing, but all I really want to know...
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday) 
I want you ...show me the way 
I want you day after day 
I wonder if I'm dreaming 
I feel so unashamed 
I can't believe this is happening to me 
I watch you when you're sleeping,and then I want to take your love 
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday) 
I want you ...show me the way 
I want you day after day 
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way 
I want you day after day

This Christmas
Composer(s): Rick Bowles
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



2,000 years ago, three wise men left their home
When an angel of the Lord
Said, "Seek the Savior born"
Logic told them they were crazy
They shouldn't even try
The followed their hearts, they followed that star
This Christmas, let me be that wise

2,000 years ago, Mary left her home
An angel said, "Have faith"
The Lord will light your way
The road was long and winding
But a promise had been made
From heaven above, that was enough
This Christmas, let me keep that faith

This Christmas, let this be the season
Of peace and love, joy and true believing
2,000 years ago, as everybody knows
A perfect baby lay
Asleep there in the hay
The world would not believe Him
But he loved them all so much
On that first night, He was the light
This Christmas, let me feel that love

Keep that faith, be that wise, feel that love
This Christmas

Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow
Show me now!

There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer and a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!

There's a tumult of joy o'er the wonderful birth
For the virgin's sweet Boy is the Lord of the earth
Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!

In the light of that star lie the ages impearled
And that song from afar has swept over the world
Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!

We rejoice in the light, and we echo the song
That comes down through the night from the heavenly throng
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring
And we greet in His cradle our Saviour and King!

We're looking for the king
The new messiah
We're following the star
Shining brighter
Old man won't you help us if you can
He shook his head
But he pointed his hand

There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

I see you've traveled far
Bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for
The new kings pleasure
I've heard that a king might come
But up till now there hasn't been

There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
