It's Easter Time
Composer(s): Meredith Wilson
Performer(s): Perry Como



It's Easter time
the bells on the hill are ringing
ringing once again
There's a smile on the face of this weary world 
that seems to say "amen"
 
It's Easter time 
the bonnets are gaily nodding
nodding to and fro
While the folks walk to church 
as they did so long ago!
 
And there's a basket 
on the dining room table 
with fancy Easter eggs for all
And there's a Lilly in all it's glory 
waiting in the hall . . .
 
It's Easter time
the dawn of the year is shining 
in the hearts of men
With the joys and the hopes 
that have risen once again!
 
(And there's a basket

And there's a Lilly in all it's glory
waiting in the hall . . .
 
It's Easter time
the dawn of the year is shining 
in the hearts of men
With the joys and the hopes 
that have risen once again!
 
( It's Easter time . . . ) It's Easter time, again!

The Angels Listened In
Composer(s): Sid Faust - Billy Dawn Smith
Performer(s): The Crests



The angels listened in, when they heard me praying
The angels listened in, when they heard me saying
"Please send me someone to love"
"Send the one I'm thinking of"
My darling, the angels sent you

The angels listened in, when they heard me crying
The angels listened in, there's no denying
They sent one with lovers charms
One who really thrills my arms
My darling, when the angels sent you

I searched everywhere
Just to find someone who cares
They came down to interrupt
Just as I had given up

The angels listened in and brought you near me
The angels listened in, I love them dearly
They gave me the whole wide world
Wrapped up in one little girl
My darling, when the angels sent you

Oh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Oh-woh-ooh-ooh...

It's Diff'rent Now
Composer(s): Clive Westlake
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



I look at you and tell myself
How wonderful you are
You're so different now
To me you're much more wonderful, more wonderful by far
Yes, you're different now
There's more to love than holding hands and stealing kisses
When there's no-one else around
There's the good times and the bad
There's the ups and downs we've had
But it's different now, 
I'm so glad I still have you

There's always something new to see
I look at you, you look at me
And we're so different now
Love gets better every day 'n in some peculiar way
It's always different now
If we ever say goodbye, you'd be lost
And so would I, what's the difference now
Between us
Love just for a day
And a love that's here to stay
That's the difference now, the difference now

Lah lah lah, lah lah lah lah ...

Christmas In My Soul
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro



Come young braves 
Come young children 
Come to the book of love with me 
Respect your brothers and your sisters 
Come to the book of love 
I know it ain't easy 
But we're gonna look for a better day 
Come young braves 
Come young children 

I love my country as it dies 
In war and pain before my eyes 
I walk the streets where disrespect has been 
The sins of politics, the politics of sin 
The heartlessness that darkens my soul 
On Christmas

Red and silver on the leaves 
Fallen white snow runs softly through the trees 
Madonnas weep for wars of hell 
They blow out the candles and haunt Noel 
The missing love that rings through the work 
On Christmas

Black panther brothers bound in jail 
Chicago seven and the justice scale 
Homeless Indian on Manhattan Isle 
All God's sons have gone to trial 
And all God's love is out of style 
On Christmas

Christmas in my soul 
Christmas in my soul 
Christmas in my soul

It's De-Lovely
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Ethel Merman & Bob Hope - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists



Billy:
The night is young, the skies are clear 
So if you want to go walking, dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
I understand the reason why 
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
You can tell at a glance 
What a swell night this is for romance
You can hear dear Mother Nature 
Murmuring low
"Let yourself go!" 
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss you, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious
It's delectable, it's delirious 
It's dilemma, it's delimit, it's deluxe
It's de-lovely"

Hope:
I feel a sudden urge to sing 
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring

Billy:
I'll control my desire to curse 
While you crucify the verse 

Hope:
This verse I started seems to me 
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody

Billy:
So spare us all the pain
Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain... 

Hope:
Mi, mi, mi, mi
Re, re, re, re 
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si

The night is young, the skies are clear 
So if you want to go walking, dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
I understand the reason why 
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
You can tell at a glance 
What a swell night this is for romance
You can hear dear Mother Nature 
Murmuring low
"Let yourself go!" 

Billy:
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss you, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious
It's...It's de-lovely"

Christmas In Killarney
Composer(s): James Cavanaugh - John Redmond - Frank Weldon
Performer(s): Dennis Day
and multiple other artists



The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all

How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

It's Dark On Observatory Hill
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Ray Conniff
and multiple other artists



It's dark on observatory hill
Come on, let's pretend we're Jack and Jill
We'll stroll to the hilltop where college sweethearts go
And look at the lights on the campus down below

We'll learn what astronomy is for
We'll learn what the stars can have in store
We'll know in advance the moon may mean romance
When it's dark on observatory hill

And I'd like to recite you a poem that I wrote
It tells why I think you're wonderful
Then from afar we can hear a sweet guitar
While voices are harmonizing

We don't have to know arithmetic
To figure why you and I would click
My heart tells me this: your lips were meant to kiss
When it's dark on observatory hill

Christmas In July
Composer(s): Jen Leigh - Jeffrey Barnes
Performer(s): Brave Combo



The president was passing laws
Gave a call to Santa Claus
He said, "Get that toy machine on high
Economy is in a slump
I know what could pick it up
This year let's have Christmas in July"

Oh, we'll have a Christmas, a summer Christmas
We'll have one fine fun-time unwinding
In the sunshine Christmas
Oh, we'll spend yuletide, down by the poolside
This year let's have Christmas in July

I'm dreamin' of a hot Christmas
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells on the ice cream truck
Rudolf, the sunburned reindeer
Have yourself a very steamy Christmas

Who says Christ was a Capricorn?
Maybe He perhaps was born 
On the hottest Sunday of the year
His birthday might have been the time to be 
On the beach at Galilee
Watching him change water into beer

They'd have a Christmas, a summer Christmas
You'd see the Lord could surf 
Without a surfboard Christmas
Could it be possible? Check out the gospel
This year let's have Christmas in July

Snowflakes fallin’, church bells callin’
It’s Christmas time again

And Wonderful things that Santa Claus brings
To good little girls and boys
Candle glow and mistletoe

Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Christmas In Jamaica
Composer(s): Toni Braxton - O. Burrell - Dave Kelly - Keri Lewis - Craig Love - Donnie Scantz
Performer(s): Toni Braxton; Shaggy



We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica here we come...
We'll just sail on, just sail...
Lovers frolickin'
Playin' in the sand
Got my coppertone
Getting on my tan
Exotic setting for a
Lady and her man
A perfect little holiday
Sounds like a plan
We can stay in bed all afternoon
We can make out to some cool reggae tunes
We can sail under the light of the moon
Wish we could freeze this moment
Then it wouldn't end so soon...
We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica here we come...
We'll just sail on, just sail...
Unplug the phones, y'all
Don't need no calls
No callin' home
Take a break from it all...
'Cause we're both grown
And we can do whatever, see?
Baby, it's just you and me
Let's live out a fantasy
Hiking in the mountains, romantic rendez-vous
Bathing in the fountains, stop, let me look at you...
Just in case you're doubtin', let me paint a view
Picture you're in heaven, everything is true

A Boy Like That/I Have A Love
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein - Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Betty Wand
and multiple other artists



Maria's Bedroom - 11:30 p.m.
(Anita knocks at Maria's locked door 
After agreeing with Maria to meet at the drugstore, Tony scrambles out the window 
Maria opens the door for Anita, who looks at the bed and turns to her accusingly)

Anita (bitterly):
A boy like that who'd kill your brother
Forget that boy and find another
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy like that will give you sorrow
You'll meet another boy tomorrow
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy who kills cannot love
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
Very smart, Maria, very smart!
A boy like that wants one thing only
And when he's done he'll leave you lonely
He'll murder your love; he murdered mine
Just wait and see
Just wait, Maria
Just wait and see!

Maria:
Oh, no, Anita, no!
Anita, no!
It isn't true, not for me
I hear your words
And in my head
I know they're smart
But my heart knows they're wrong
And my heart is too strong
For I belong to him alone, to him alone
One thing I know: I am his
I don't care what he is
I don't know why it's so
I don't want to know

Anita:
A boy like that who'd kill your brother
Forget that boy and find another
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy like that will give you sorrow
You'll meet another boy tomorrow
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy who kills cannot love
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
Very smart, Maria, very smart!

Maria:
Oh, no, Anita, no!
Anita, no!
You should know better!
You were in love - or so you said
You should know better...
I have a love, and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him; I'm his
And ev'rything he is
I am too
I have a love and it is all that I need
Right or wrong, and he needs me too
I love him, we're one
There's nothing to be done
Not a thing I can do
But hold him
Hold him forever
Be with him now tomorrow
And all of my life!

Both:
When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life!
(A policeman comes in to question Maria, who sends Anita to tell Tony)

A wonderful and warm and emotional moment for all of us

It's Breaking Me Up
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig



So many long days 
In so many ways
I try to get through to what lies deep inside of you
Oh, baby. I said, you're breaking me up, woman
Yeah, you're breaking me down
You're lying in little pieces
scattered all around

You're doing your worst to see me get hurt
You're waiting to see the tears running out of me
But, oh, baby, I said you're breaking me up, woman
You're breaking me down
You're lying in little pieces 
scattered all around

My teares have run dry and you wonder why
I've found a new woman who don't do the things you can
Oh, baby, I said you're breaking me up, woman
You're breaking me down
You're lying in little pieces
scattered all around

By now in New York City, there's snow on the ground
And out in California, the sunshine's falling down
And, maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight

It's windy in Chicago 
The kids are out of school
There's magic in Motown 
The city's on the move
In Jackson, Mississippi, to Charlotte, Caroline
And all across the nation, it's the peaceful Christmas time

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight

And from Fort Payne, Alabama
God bless y'all...
We love ya...
Happy New Year...
Good night
Merry Christmas...
Merry Christmas tonight

Performer(s): Hank Snow
and multiple other artists



It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I had to go away
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
And I'll ne'er forget that day
Although you never mentioned it
You cried that whole day long
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
But now I'm comin' home

It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Do you really realize
That the thought of seein' you
It scares me thru and thru
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I had a kiss from you

It's Been So Long, Darlin'
But it won't be long now
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
But I've kept ev'ry vow
I pray that you'll be waiting
As you did in days gone by 
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Please don't blame me if I cry

It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Do you really realize
That the thought of seein' you
It scares me thru and thru
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I had a kiss from you

Christmas Hymn
Composer(s): Amy Grant - Michael W. Smith
Performer(s): Amy Grant



Praise to God whose love was shown
Who sent his Son to earth
Jesus left his rightful throne
Became a man by birth

The virgin's baby son
All creation praised Him
God incarnate come
Come to Bethlehem

Still a higher call had He
Deliverance from our sins
Come to set all people free
>From Satan's hold within

For by the sin of man we fell
By the Son of God
He crushed the power of Hell
Death we fear no more

Now we stand with strength, with power
The sons of God on earth
Faithful to the final hour
Christ's righteousness our worth

And now all praise is given
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed

For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time

You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time

Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long time
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time

Christmas For Cowboys
Composer(s): Steve Weisberg
Performer(s): John Denver
and multiple other artists



Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains
All of the good gifts given today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range

Back in the cities, they have diff'rent ways
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades
I'll take the blanket, I'll take the reins
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open plains

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open range

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains
So many gifts have been opened today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range
It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains

It’s Anybody’s Spring
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Jack Lemmon
and multiple other artists



You think that money is everything
And yet it’s anybody’s Spring
Go make a fortune, become a king
And still it’s anybody’s Spring
And if you flash a bank roll
Do you suppose the brook would care?
Or that a rose would say 
“There goes a millionaire!”
It’s more than diamonds around a ring
Because it’s anybody’s Spring
You may be born with the silver spoon
And yet it’s anybody’s moon
You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring

You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring

Christmas Eve In My Hometown
Composer(s): Don Upton - Stan Zabka
Performer(s): Kate Smith
and multiple other artists



There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town

'Cause there were carols in the square
Laughter everywhere,
Couples kissing under the mistletoe

I can't help reminiscing
Knowing I'll be missing
Christmas Eve in my home town

Nothing can erase the mem'ries I embrace
Those familiar footprints upon the snow

There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town

I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might

I can hear singing
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night

Wise men journeyed far, guided by a star
But though I'm not a wise man, this I know

Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spen-ding
Christmas Eve in my home town
