It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
(Swedish Version: Sakta Lägger Båten Ut Från Land - 1978)
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
All your reindeer armies, are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

Christmas Day
Composer(s): Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys; Husky Team



The Christmas spirit grows with each new day
And it's so close but seems so far away
And yet it comes only once a year
And 'fore you know it, it's already here
The streets are filled with laughter
And so many hearts are gay

Everybody helps to make the spirit bright
The houses turn on their Christmas lights at night
It's worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you
And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day

It's worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you
And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day

It's worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you 

It's All Over Now 
(French Version: Entre Nous C'est Fini - 1964)

Covered by multiple other artists



Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Well, she used to run around with every man in town
She spent all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried 
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Christmas Day

How I wish you'd be with me on Christmas day
Bells won't ring so merrily if you are far away
With you it all would seem so right
The tree, the snow and silent night
How I wish you'd be with me to stay on Christmas day

How I wish you'd be with me on Christmas day
Bells won't ring so merrily if you are far away
With you it all would seem so right 
The tree, the snow, and silent night
How I wish you'd be with me to stay on Christmas day

I used to love to hold you when the lights were down low
But it’s all over now
You used to whisper little things that set me aglow
But it’s all over now

I listened to you tell me little white lies
Never thought you meant to deceive
Whoever would have doubted those innocent eyes
And all the little kisses that you made me believe

Remember how I planned a little home by the stream
Where we’d spend every day
You must have thought me crazy when I painted that dream
‘Cause you threw it away

I kinda thought that things would be different
Have a happy ending somehow
But I guess you never loved me ‘cos it’s easy to see
That it’s all over now

Christmas Day is here and so are we
Time for children and presents
And Christmas tree happiness

Christmas Day is all that it should be
Lights and carols and holly
And all kinds of loveliness

Christmas bells ringing out goodwill to men and peace on earth
Ev'rything they taught you when you were a child
The things a child once taught the world

If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up all your love to give once a year
Learn to give, try to live each day like Christmas Day

(Christmas bells ringing out goodwill to men and peace on earth)
(Ev'ry thing they taught you when you were a child)
(The things a child once taught the world)

If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up all your love to give once a year
Learn to give, try to live each day like Christmas Day 

It's All Over
Composer(s): Phil Everly; Don Everly
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



It's all over, didn't even cry 
I just stop living when you said goodbye 
It's all over, can't feel a thing 
I just stop living; couldn't stand the pain 

There are no light leaves in September 
Lips as fresh as spring 
Love that warms like summer sun 
Shouldn't die when winter comes 

It's all over, didn't even cry 
I just stop living when you said goodbye 
It's all over (it's all over)

Christmas Day
Composer(s): Dido Armstrong - Rollo Armstrong
Performer(s): Dido



The young gentleman came riding past
On a snow-blue winter's day
He asked to drink by our fire
And I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
And then he turned and said to me

Your eyes are green like summer grass
Your lips are red like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty
And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day

And the night will come, but I won't sleep
As I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
But still my heart goes with him
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
For the day that I'll be leaving

Father knows, my sister knows
And my friends, they're happy for me
And the priest he says, you should thank God
For the blessing of such beauty
And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say

I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love, I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return, my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day 

It's All In The Movies
Composer(s): Merle Haggard; Kelli Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard



They were so much in love with life, happy in every way
But love the movie began with, some how got lost in the play

Like a fire burning out of control
you go caught up in the actor's role
and you cried on my shoulder
when it came to an end
     
But that's all in the movies
it won't happen to you and I
That's all in the movies
so baby don't cry

It's all in the movies
it won't happen to us I know
That's all in the movies
just a bad picture show

But that's all in the movies
it won't happen to you and I
That's all in the movies
so baby don't cry

Christmas Cookies
Composer(s): Aaron Baker
Performer(s): George Strait; The Oak Ridge Boys



I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, and bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep
And she'll take the ones I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkly things on top
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, and bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse
Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
She gets mad that they're all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
Sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
Now there's a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There's 15 minutes for some kissin' and'a huggin'
That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long!
Ah, Take it away boys
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, and bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe...

Many a tear has to fall
but it's all... in the game 
All in the wonderful game 
that we know... as love 
You had words with him 
and your future's looking dim 
but these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
but it's all... in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side 
with a sweet, bouquet
Then he'll kiss... your lips 
and caress your waiting fingertips 
and your heart will fly away
Once in a while he won't call
but it's all... in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side 
with a sweet, bouquet
Then he'll kiss... your lips 
and caress your waiting fingertips 
and your heart will fly away

Christmas Cometh Caroling

and multiple other artists



Oh, Christmas cometh caroling
And all the merry bells do ring
To tell how angels once did sing
Kneeling about their baby King
Born of our Lady Mary

And it would be a shame to tell
That only clang of brazen bell
Should play Earth's part His praise to swell
It must be you and I as well
Who kneel to Lady Mary

Then shrive you clean and wash you white
Keep vigil well this holy night
While angels carol in the height
We shall receive e're dawn of light
Bread from the Babe of Mary

one too many times I fell over you
once in a shadow I finally grew
and once in a night I dreamed you were there
I canceled my flight from going nowhere

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

one too many times I twisted the gate
when I was crazy I thought you were great
I kept my renditions of you on the wall
where holiday romance is nothing at all

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

you wait in the wing like a Saturday flirt
protecting the judge, you don't want to get hurt
once in a moment it all comes to you
as soon as you get it you want something new

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

Christmas Children
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Twiggy;
and multiple other artists



Christmas children peep into Christmas windows
See a world as pretty as a dream
Christmas trees and toys
Christmas hopes and joys
Christmas puddings rich with Christmas cream

Christmas presents shine in the Christmas windows
Christmas boxes tied with Christmas bows
Wonder what's inside
What delights they hide
But till Christmas morning no one knows
Won't it be exciting if it snows?

I suppose that children everywhere
Must say a Christmas prayer
Till Santa brings their Christmas things

Christmas children live in a Christmas daydream
Waiting for the magic to unfold
Wondrous things to eat
Every Christmas treat
Rich or not the Christmas pot of gold
Hypnotizes children young and old

Christmas children hunger for Christmas morning
Christmas day's a wonder to behold
Young ones' dreams come true
Not so young ones, too
I believe that story we've been told
Christmas is for children young and old 

It's All Behind Us Now 
Composer(s): Allan Rich; Barry Manilow; Howie Rice
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



I spent my whole life thinking
Oh, that there could not be
Anyone in this world
Who'd show me they care
Who'd really be there to love me

Now you're holding me
And I see in your eyes
That you've been lonely too baby

We've been all alone on our own for so long
But it's all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it's all behind us now

Every time I looked for love
It looked the other way
Now love has turned around
It's smiling at me
Now someone loves me
All the nights in the moonlight
With no one to hold me
Take a good look at us baby!

We've been all alone on our own for so long
But it's all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it's all behind us

Every dream is coming true
Now that I am holding you near
Happiness without an end
I feel alive again
Suddenly I can not even remember when

We were all alone on own for so long
But it's all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well, it's all behind us now

A Christmas Carol
Performer(s): Skip Ewing



I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of three or four 
climbed up on to my knee
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
So I asked her what's your name and what can Santa give to you

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could
Then I sat her down and told her, now remember to be good
She said I will, then walked away, turned and waved goodbye
And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see old Santa cry

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
And made a few arrangements with the County Children's Home
And they told me it would be all right to pick her up today
Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say

My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Well Merry Christmas Carol
I love you, welcome home 

It's All A Part Of Love
Composer(s): Benny Davis; Ted Murray
Performer(s): Jackie Wilson



One day your sad, the next day you're glad
And it's all a part of love
One day your heart may be breaking and then
The next day it's mended again

One day you laugh,the next day you cry
And it's all a part of love
This is the story for thousands of years
Love's made of laughter and tears

There's good and there's bad
in the game of love they say
But there's much more good than bad, for
People fall in love, everyday

Aw, but one day your dream, goes
tumbling it seems,and it's all a part of love
Next day you kiss and you're in heaven above
And it's all a part of love
Yes, its all a part of love

Christmas Can't Be Very Far Away
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Roger Cook
Performer(s): Amy Grant



Little bits of heaven
Floating gently by the window
Soon this dirty city will be
Covered with a new snow
Let's put on our winter boots
Go outside and play
Christmas can't be very far away

Weather girl says "bundle up"
It's gonna be a cold one
I'll put on my wooly hat
You'll wear your dad's old stetson
Pretty lights are everywhere
Shining night and day
Christmas can't be very far away

Let's take a walk downtown and
Go dream shopping in the mall
The kids can do the santa thing
Photographs and all
We'll get the biggest tree this year
And trim it to the top
And spend a whole lot more
Than what we've got
But so what

Come next spring
I know we will be
Ready for the sunshine
Right now throwin' snowballs
At each other's such a fun time
Kids will think we're crazy
For a while and that's okay
Christmas can't be very far away
Christmas can't be very far away 

It's About Time
Composer(s): John Denver; Glen D. Hardin
Performer(s): John Denver



There’s a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again
Who’s to say you have to lose for someone else to win
In the eyes of all the people the look is much the same
For the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game

It’s about time we realize it we’re all in this together
It’s about time we find out it’s all of us or none
It’s about time we recognize it these changes in the weather
It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time

There’s a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see
And a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me
I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land
With his lips upon our Mother’s breast he makes his strongest stand

It’s about time we start to see it the Earth is our only home
It’s about time we start to face it we can’t make it here all alone
It’s about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind
It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time

There’s a man who is my brother, I just don’t know his name
But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same
And it hurts me when he’s hungry and when his children cry
I too am a father and that little one is mine

It’s about time we begin to turn the world around
It’s about time we start to make it the dream we’ve always known
It’s about time we start to live the family of man
It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time
It’s about peace and it’s about plenty and it’s about time
It’s about you and me together and it’s about time

Christmas Can't Be Far Away
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
First recording/First release by: Eddy Arnold and His Guitar - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



Christmas can't be far away

A neighbour tipped his hat to me this mornin'
The landlord even smiled and said good-day
And I want you to know a stranger said hello
Christmas can't be far away

Old tight wad down the street is buying candy
To pass out to the neighbour kids at play
The town is on the go
The weather man said snow
Christmas can't be far away

The small fry on our block have all been saving
And now their hiding things and looking sly
Mum will get that doodad she's been craving
And Dad'll get his usual Christmas tie

Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
Good will is in the air
You feel it everywhere

Christmas can't be far away
Christmas can't be far away
