When you found somebody new
I thought I never would Forget you, for I thought then I never could But time has taken all the pain away Until now, I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day, all day long And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn The ony time, I wish you weren't gone Is once a day, everyday, all day long
I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time He(she)lost the one he(she)loved, then slowly lost her mind He(she) sat around and cried his (her) life away Lucky me, I'm only crying once a day
Once a day, all day long And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn The only time, I wish you weren't gone Is once a day, every day, all day long
The only time, I wish you weren't gone Is once a day, everyday, all day long

All I want for Christmas is you You're the gift that's made my dreams all come true All I need for Christmas is here Finding every sweet surprise wrapped up in your eyes Waiting there for me Underneath the tree

If a man gets the idea that youre flippety-jibbedy And starts gettin ready to take a diabolical liberty If he gives you a line youre not keen on swallowing Give him an old-fashioned look And repeat the following
(Chorus) Ta, ever so, ever so ta That was a lovely compliment But please remember, Im a lady And youre supposed to be a gent No, we cannot make it a date Im too young to stop out late But please, tomorrow come to tea And meet the family
Dear ol dads an all-in wrestler Weighing-in at nineteen stones Brother Bills a bonnie builder And his hobbys breaking bones Sister Mona tears a phone book Into little tiny shreds Come along and meet em Come along and greet em Theyre a family of thoroughbreds
(Chorus)
Theres a bloodhound in the kitchen Hasnt had a bite all day Uncle Arthurs back in Dartmoor Aunties with the I.R.A Grandmas digging in the cellar No-one knows where grandpa is Theyre a lot of smasher Bruisers, boozers, bashers Theyre a family of savages
(Chorus)
Come along and meet em Come along and greet em Meet the family

On Va Dire Que C'Est Moi Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Si un train n'est pas à l'heure Qu'un' princesse divorce et pleure J' culpabilis', c'est certain Même si j'sais qu' j'suis pour rien Tu vas dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui ne s'intéresse à rien? Stoïque comme un nain d'jardin Qui fait de l'ombre à ton bonheur? Une pierre à la place du cur On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi C'est sûr, j'suis pas sur le coup J'suis distrait, j'pense pas à tout Pas l'eau à tous les étages Même si j'atteins la limite d'âge Un ado daté Un rocker déprimé Ça t'arrange de m'voir comm' ça Bon... allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Instrumental C'est sûr, j'suis pas sur le coup J'suis discret, j'oublie surtout Les choses pouvant m'faire du mal J'tiens pas compte de mon signe astral Un ado daté Teenager attardé Ça t'arrange de m'voir comme ça Bon... allez on va dire que c'est moi Qui fuit comme l'eau dans la main D'vant l'angoisse du quotidien Qui s'dérobe devant les dames Quand ça tourne au psycho-drame? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui dit qui sait pas lire l'heure Qu'a peur d'un ordinateur? Qui trouve pas net l'Internet? Qui cherche encore sa planète? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui se lève tous les matins Tournant l'dos à son destin Qui s'veut aimable et affable Qu'est mêm' pas un homme à femmes? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi
A Christmas To Remember
Composer(s): Beverly Darnell - Chris Eaton - Amy Grant
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Twinkling lights A chill is in the air And carols everywhere Close your eyes, it's almost here Candles and cards And favorite movie scenes The smell of evergreen As special as it's always been And I have a dream or two Maybe they will come true
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight We'll wake up to a world of white It's gonna be a Christmas to remember Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole Always sentimental and don't you know that It's gonna be a Christmas to remember
I know it's true Time doesn't stand still Many things can change But we know some things never will The memories we share The songs we always sing The mystery of life The hopefulness this season brings And I have a dream or two Maybe they will come true
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight We'll wake up to a world of white It's gonna be a Christmas to remember Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole Always sentimental and don't you know that It's gonna be a Christmas to remember

Meet me tonight in Dreamland Under the silv'ry moon Meet me tonight in Dreamland Where love's sweet roses bloom Come with the love light gleaming In your dear eyes of blue Meet me in Dreamland Sweet Dreamy Dreamland There let my dreams come true
Just sit back and listen one time through Let your memories take you back when times were gentler
OK Let's all sing again One last time
Meet me tonight in Dreamland Under the silv'ry moon Meet me tonight in Dreamland Where love's sweet roses bloom Come with the love light gleaming In your dear eyes of blue Meet me in Dreamland Sweet Dreamy Dreamland There let my dreams come true
A Different Kind Of Christmas
Composer(s): Pete Amato - Jud J. Friedman - Allan Rich - LeAnn Rimes
Performer(s): LeAnn Rimes; Kenny Rogers
The lights around the Christmas tree don't burn as bright And all around the world it isn't a silent night Outside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling But somehow there's a sadness in the song In our hearts we know that something's wrong
It's a different kind of Christmas In a different kind of world Even though it looks the same Everything has changed It's a different kind of Christmas
Children opening gifts with wonder and surprise I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes I used to feel so safe inside, I had a place to run and hide In my Daddy's arms I felt secure No one can protect us anymore
It's a different kind of Christmas In a different kind of world Even though it looks the same Everything has changed It's a different kind of Christmas
Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer Oh, that's what we need if we'd only believe It would be a different kind of Christmas In a different kind of world Even though it looks the same Everything has changed It's a different kind of Christmas

Maman La Plus Belle Du Monde ((Adapted from: La Più Bella Del Mondo (by Marino Marini) - 1957)) Composer(s): Marino Marini - Fernand Bonifay Performer(s): Luis Mariano - 1958 and multiple other artists
Maman, Maman jolie Maman tu es la plus belle du monde Aucune autre à la ronde n'est plus jolie Tu as pour moi, avoue que c'est étrange Le visage d'un ange du paradis
Dans tous mes voyages J'ai vu des paysages Mais rien ne vaut l'image De tes beaux cheveux blancs
Tu es, Maman, la plus belle du monde Et ma joie est profonde Lorsqu'à mon bras Maman, tu mets ton bras
Maman tu es la plus belle du monde Car tant d'amour inonde tes jolis yeux Pour toi, c'est vrai, je suis malgré mon âge Le petit enfant sage des jours heureux
J'avais fait des rêves Où l'on m'aimait sans trève Mais les rêves s'achèvent Et toi seule m'est restée
Maman tu est la plus belle du monde Et lorsque tout s'effondre autour de moi Maman, toi tu es là!>
't Is Christmas now! 't Is Christmas now! When Cato's self would laugh And smoothing forth his wrinked brow Give liberty to quaff To dance and sing, to sport and play For every hour's a holiday
And for the twelve days, let them pass In mirth and jollity The time doth call each lad and lass That will be blythe and free To dance and sing, to sport and play For every hour's a holiday
And from the rising of the sun To the setting, cast off cares 't Is time enough when twelve is done To think of our affairs To dance and sing, to sport and play For every hour's a holiday

On This Night Of A Thousand Stars Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber Performer(s): Mark Ryan; and various other artists
Che: Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage You need if you're gonna succeed No money no cash no father no bright lights There was nowhere she'd been at the age of 15 As this Tango singer found out Augustin Magaldi Who has the distinction of being the first Man to be of use to Eva Duarte
Magaldi: On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to Heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forevermore
In the glow of those twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a million nights Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this Now I know that it can I used to wander alone without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all my grief disappeard and all the sorrow I feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day when you first came my way Mi amor
On this night On this night On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to Heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forevermore
Meet Me In St. Louis Composer(s): Kerry Mills; Andrew B. Sterling Performer(s): Judy Garland; Cinematic Creations; Guy Lombardo
When Louis came home to the flat He hung up his coat and his hat He gazed all around, but no wifey he found So he said "where can Flossie be at?" A note on the table he spied He read it just once, then he cried It ran, "Louis dear, it's too slow for me here So I think I will go for a ride"
"Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining any place but there We will dance the Hoochee Koochee I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair"
"Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining any place but there We will dance the Hoochee Koochee I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair"
The dresses that hung in the hall Were gone, she had taken them all She took all his rings and the rest of his things The picture he missed from the wall "What! moving!" the janitor said "Your rent is paid three months ahead" "What good is the flat?" said poor Louis, "Read that" And the janitor smiled as he read
