Si je chante, c'est pour toi C'est pour toi Oui pour toi Je t'en prie, ne pleure pas Et vas sécher tes larmes
Il t'a dit je t'aime, et tu l'as cru C'était le soir même où tu l'as connu Aujourd'hui tu pleures car tu l'as vu Embrasser la meilleure de tes amies
Si je chante, c'est pour toi C'est pour toi Oui pour toi Ne pleure pas, tu l'oublieras Tu oublieras tes larmes
Je sais qu'il est dur de recommencer Crois moi, crois moi, il faut lutter Car tu as quinze ans et tu vas trouver Le vrai bonheur longtemps espéré
Si je chante, c'est pour toi C'est pour toi Oui pour toi Il faut chanter avec moi Et oublier tes larmes
Si je chante, c'est pour toi C'est pour toi Oui pour toi Il faut chanter avec moi Et oublier tes larmes
We'll Dress The House Composer(s): Alfred Shaddick Burt; Wihla Hutson Performer(s): Voices Of Jimmy Joyce; and various other artists
We'll dress the house with holly bright and sprigs of mistletoe We'll trim the Christmas tree tonight and set the lights aglow We'll wrap our gifts with ribbons gay and give them out on Christmas Day By everything we do and say, our gladness we will show
We'll dress the table daintily, our finest treasures use That all a-sparkle it may be and bright with lovely hews Then for the feasting we'll prepare a kitchen full of wondrous fare That each from all the dishes rare, his fav'rite one may choose
And ye who would the Christ child greet, your heart also adorn That it may be a dwelling meet for Him who now is born Let all unlovely things give place to souls bedecked with heavenly grace That ye may view His holy face with joy on Christmas morn
We'll dress the house with holly bright and sprigs of mistletoe We'll trim the Christmas tree tonight and set the lights aglow We'll wrap our gifts with ribbons gay and give them out on Christmas Day By everything we do and say, our gladness we will show
My Whole World Is Falling Down (French Version: Si Je Chante) Composer(s): Bill Anderson; Jerry Crutchfield Performer(s): Brenda Lee
My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby
Told me that your love for me was true Said you'd love me your whole life through But now you're asking me to set you free You've found some body you love more than me
My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby
I miss your loving that was so fine I need it, I need it all of the time For I still love you in the same old way Yet I'm losing you a little every day
My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby
My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby

We Three Kings
Composer(s): John Hopkins Jr.
Performer(s): "Tennessee" Ernie Ford - 1958
and multiple other artists
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God on high
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorr'wing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Earth to heav'n replies
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Where The Blue And Lonely Go Composer(s): Jimmy Warren; Alvaro Verissimo; Bill Silva; Charles Sagle Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Dean Martin
Where the blue and lonely go Where the music's loud and clear It's the only place I know Where the blue and lonely go
The street lights serve to light my way as I make my way downtown To one of many nightspots I know where they're all found Yes I'm back again to the lonely life a life that many know Soon I'll be there with a glass of wine where the blue and lonely go
Where the blue and lonely go...
There was a time when I had love and I tried so to be free From the life that I was used to it was just too hard for me Now as I try to keep my heart from letting mem'ries show I pretend that I'm so happy here where the blue and lonely go
We Need God For Christmas Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Alma Donaldson Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Though Christmas is the time of year to be happy and gay Many hearts will be sad this Christmas Day For loved ones who are far away across the deep blue sea Loved ones who belong to you and me
Lets go to church this Christmas, get on our knees and pray For God too protect us and the good old U.S.A. Lets do our part with all our hearts this Christmas next year No empty chair will sadden Christmas cheer
We Need God For Christmas and all the whole year too If we believe Hell surely see us through His precious love, His mighty hand, will help us one and all Lets turn to God before our country falls
Lets go to church this Christmas, get on our knees and pray For God too protect us and the good old U.S.A. Lets do our part with all our hearts, then Christmas next year No empty chair will sadden Christmas cheer
Si J'avais Des Millions (Adapted from: If I Were A Rich Man - 1964) Composer(s): Jerry Bock; Sheldon M. Harnick; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Dalida - 1968
Si j'avais des millions Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum Tout le jour à Bidibidiboum Ah! si j'étais cousu d'or
Je travaillerais moins fort Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum Si j'avais quelques mini-millions Tchiribiribiribiriboum
Je bâtirais en pleine ville une maison haute Avec des chambres sans compter Avec un toit de tuiles et des vrais parquets Un escalier fait pour monter L'autre pour descendre un troisième encore Rien que pour agrémenter le décor
Je me vois d'ici très à l'aise en femme de riche Essayant de tendre le cou Relevant un menton qu'empèse, un poids de bijoux Goûtant les plats surveillant tout Houspillant les bonnes Fière comme un paon Dirigeant la maison tambour battant Ha!
Si j'avais des millions Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum Tout le jour à Bidibidiboum Ah si j'étais cousu d'or
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe!
Je travaillerais moins fort Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum Dieu Puissant toi qui es éternel Tu pourrais faire un petit effort Ça changerait quoi du haut du ciel Qu'enfin je sois cousu d'or
We Need A Little Christmas
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Julius LaRosa - 1966
Haul out the holly Put up the tree before my spirit falls again Fill up the stocking I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now For we need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet
Yes, we need a little Christmas Right this very minute It hasn't snowed a single flurry But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry!
So climb down the chimney Turn on the brightest string of light I've ever seen Slice up the fruitcake It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough
For I've grown a little leaner Grown a little colder Grown a little sadder Grown a little older And I need a little angel Sitting on my shoulder Need a little Christmas now!
For we need a little music Need a little laughter Need a little singing Ringing through the rafter And we need a little snappy "Happy ever after" Need a little Christmas now!
Wish I Was In Nashville Composer(s): Bob McDill Performer(s): Don Williams; Mel McDaniel
I went to see my honeydew, she lived just down the way I got stuck and the truck froze up and I only got half way Sittin here on the muddy road, stuck here all alone The rain wont stop its a beatin on the top and I should have stayed at home
I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac
Must have been a half a day, before I got back home The roads all mud the creeks gonna flood and Im here all alone Sure feels good a gettin back to my old shack again But Im all soaked and the radios broke and the rain keeps pouring in.
I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac
I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac
We Are The Shepherds Composer(s): John R. Cash Performer(s): Johnny Cash
So here is the stable and there is the manger The new Saviour sleeps on his first earthly night The wise men brought riches, but we brought a candle It's all that we have but it gives a good light
We are the shepherds, we walked cross the mountains We left our flocks when the new star appeared Oh, the beautiful singing of heavenly choir We had to come see him, we had to come here
We beg you forgive us for such a small offering But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night We bring you this candle it's all we have with us But with it the new Saviour has his first light
We are the shepherds, we walked cross the mountains We left our flocks when the new star appeared Oh, the beautiful singing of heavenly choir We had to come see him, we had to come here
We thank thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter Please take our gift for the new babe of thine 'Tis only one candle but it is our symbol Of how we believe that his great life will shine
We are the shepherds, we walked cross the mountains We left our flocks when the new star appeared Oh, the beautiful singing of heavenly choir We had to come see him, we had to come here
