An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Composer(s): John Rimel
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
These city streets seem cold and hard to me Life here in the fast lane ain't my cup of tea I can't get in the spirit here it seems And when I go to sleep at night I often have this dream
Of an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree A fire softly burning and you up close to me With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year
The city lights are fading out of sight The snow is softly falling through the winter night Coming home again feels so good And once again Christmas feels just like it should
Let's have an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree A fire softly burning and you up close to me With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year
Let's have an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year
Imaginate Que Te Quiero Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum; Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Imaginate que soy todo valor sueña tu que yo voy a abrir mi corazon hay cosas que son secretos locos de un tipo que se muere por ti
Silencio a veces dudar atreverme a decir que te quiero imaginate te quiero sigue imaginandote y que solo a ti
Imaginate que el mundo va a acabar que al final del final me quedas solo tu
hay cosas que son mil notas y son pequeñas pero grandes en ti mil gotas que hacen un mar que no puedo explicar imaginatelo que te quiero imaginate te quiero sigue imaginandote y que solo a ti
imaginate que te quiero sigue imaginandote te quiero
An Old Christmas Card Composer(s): Vaughn Horton Performer(s): Jim Reeves; and various other artists
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me 'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree
I thrill with every word, every line Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this time, every year But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow can't help reminiscing About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards to find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes
I thrill with every word, every line Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card

All you that are to mirth inclin'd
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us hath done
In sending his beloved Son.
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Let all your songs and praises be
Unto his Heavenly Majesty
And evermore among your mirth
Remember Christ our Saviour's birth
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
The five and twentieth of December
Good cause have you for to remember
In Bethlehem upon this morn
There was our blessed Saviour born
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
The night before that happy tide
The spotless Virgin, and her guide
Went long time seeking up and down
To find them lodging in the town
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
And mark how all things came to pass
The inns and lodging so filled was
That they could have no room at all
but in a silly oxes stall
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
That night the Virgin Mary mild
Was safe delivered of a Child
According unto Heaven's decree
Man's sweet salvation for to be
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Near Bethlehem did Shepherds keep
Their herds and flocks, and feeding sheep
To whom God's Angels did appear
Which put the Shepherds in great fear
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Prepare and go, the Angel said
To Bethlehem, be not afraid
There shall you see this blessed morn
The princely babe, sweet Jesus, born
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
With thankful hearts and joyful mind
The Shepherds went this babe to find
And as the heavenly Angel told
They did our Saviour Christ to behold
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Within a manger was he laid
The Virgin Mary by him stay'd
Attending on the Lord of life
Being both mother, maid, and wife
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Three Eastern Wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious Star
Came boldly on, and made no stay
Until they came where Jesus lay
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
And being come unto the place
Wherein the blest Messias was
They humbly laid before his feet
Their gifts of gold and odours sweet
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
See how the Lord of Heaven and Earth
Shew'd himself lowly in his birth
A sweet example for mankind
To learn to bear an humble mind
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
No costly robes or rich attire
Did Jesus Christ our Lord desire
No musick nor sweet harmony
Till glorious Angels came from high
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
If choirs of Angels did rejoice
Well may mankind with heart and voice
Sing praises to the God of Heaven
That unto us his Son is given
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Toen Jij Verdween (Adapted from: In Dreams - 1963) Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Jan De Vuyst Performer(s): Doran - 1998
'k Voel me opgesloten, 'k kan niet slapen De warmte in de kamer zo benauwd Het zingen van de zee drijft mij naar buiten Haar geruis is voor mij zo vertrouwd
Ik zie jou weer Ja, elke keer Als ik mijn ogen sluit Dan hoor ik weer
Jouw zachte stem Die mij verwendt Jouw lieve woordjes als Ik hoor bij jou
Ik droom alleen van jou Jouw wil vult mij geheel Want jij gaf mij al wat ik wou Ik leef, nee ik leefde voor jou, voor jou
Die dag toen jij verdween Ik vergeet die dag nooit meer Toen je wegging en ik doodging Toen je zei 'ik wil weggaan, laat me weggaan, vaarwel'
En ik schreeuwde 'blijf bij mij' Want ik begeer jou voor mij Oh, blijf bij mij Mijn leven ben jij

Imagina Imagina Hoje à noite A gente se peder Imagina Imagina Hoje à noite A lua se apagar Quem já viu a lua cris Quando a lua começa a murchar Lua cris É preciso gritar e correr, socorrer o luar Meu amor Abre a porta pra noite passar E olha o sol Da manhã Olha a chuva Olha a chuva, olha o sol, olha o dia a lançar Serpentinas Serpentinas pelo céu Sete fitas Coloridas Sete vias Sete vidas Avenidas Pra qualquer lugar Imagina Imagina
Sabe que o menino que passar debaixo do arco-íris vira moça, vira A menina que cruzar de volta o arco-íris rapidinho vira volta a ser rapaz A menina que passou no arco era o Menino que passou no arco E vai virar menina Imagina Imagina Imagina
Imagina Imagina Hoje à noite A gente se perder Imagina Imagina Hoje à noite A lua se apagar
All Praise To Thee, Eternal God Composer(s): Martin Luther
All praise to Thee, eternal God Who, clothed in garb of flesh and blood Dost take a manger for Thy throne While worlds on worlds are Thine alone Hallelujah!
Once did the skies before Thee bow A virgin's arms contain Thee now While angels, who in Thee rejoice Now listen for Thine infant voice Hallelujah!
A little Child, Thou art our Guest That weary ones in Thee may rest Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth That we may rise to heaven from earth Hallelujah!
Thou comest in the darksome night To make us children of the light To make us in the realms divine Like Thine own angels, round Thee shine Hallelujah!
All this for us Thy love hath done By This to Thee our love is won For this our joyful songs we raise And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise Hallelujah!
All My Heart This Night Rejoices Composer(s): Johann Georg Ebeling; Paul Gerhardt Performer(s): The Cambridge Singers; and various other artists
All my heart this night rejoices As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices "Christ is born," their choirs are singing Till the air Everywhere Now with joy is ringing
Forth today the Conqueror goeth Who the foe, Sin and woe Death and hell, o'erthroweth God is man, man to deliver His dear Son Now is one With our blood forever
Shall we still dread God's displeasure Who, to save, Freely gave His most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven
Should He who Himself imparted Aught withhold From the fold Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us Who, to cheer Sufferers here Left His throne above us?
If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted?
He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away And for aye Full atonement maketh For our life His own He tenders And our race, By His grace Meet for glory renders
Hark! a voice from yonder manger Soft and sweet, Doth entreat "Flee from woe and danger Brethren, from all ills that grieve you You are feed; All you need I will surely give you"
Come, then, banish all your sadness One and all, Great and small Come with songs of gladness Love Him who with love is glowing Hail the Star, Near and far Light and joy bestowing
Ye whose anguish knew no measure Weep no more; See the door To celestial pleasure Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, Pain, or loss Can again betide you
Hither come, ye heavy-hearted Who for sin, Deep within Long and sore have smarted For the poisoned wound you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing
Hither come, ye poor and wretched Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretched Here are riches without measure Here forget All regret Fill your hearts with treasure
Let me in my arms receive Thee On Thy breast Let me rest Savior, ne'er to leave Thee Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented
Guilt no longer can distress me Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me Stain in me Thou findest never I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever
I am pure, in Thee believing From Thy store Evermore Righteous robes receiving In my heart I will enfold Thee Treasure rare, Let me there Loving, ever hold Thee
Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish Though my breath Fail in death Yet I shall not perish But with Thee abide forever There on high, In that joy Which can vanish never

I'm Your Toy (Hot Burrito Number 1) (aka Hot Burrito N°1) Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Ethridge Performer(s): Elvis Costello and multiple other artists
You may be sweet and nice But that won't keep you warm at night 'Cause I'm the one who showed you how To do the things you're doing now

Once upon a time You let me feel you deep inside But nobody knew, nobody saw Do you remember the way you cried
I'm your toy, I'm your old boy But I don't want no one but you to love me No, I wouldn't lie You know I'm not that kind of guy

All I Want For Christmas Is You (Vince Vance & The Valiants)
All I Want For Christmas Is You Composer(s): Troy Powers; Andy Stone Performer(s): Vince Vance & The Valiants; Flash Cadillac; Frankie Ford
Take back the holly and mistletoe Silver bells on string If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus I would ask for just one thing I don't need sleigh rides in the snow Don't want a Christmas that's blue Take back the tinsel, stockings and bows 'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things They don't matter to me All that I want, it can't be found Underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel atop my tree You are my dream come true Santa can't bring me what I need 'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things They don't matter to me All that I want, it can't be found Underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel atop my tree You are my dream come true Santa can't bring me what I need 'Cause all I want for Christmas is you 'Cause all I want for Christmas is you 'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
