It's Easy to Remember (And So Hard to Forget)
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Bing Crosby - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists



Your sweet expression
The smile you gave me
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
I hear you whisper
"I'll always love you"
I know it's over, and yet
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
So I must dream
To have your hand caress me
Fingers press me tight
I'd rather dream
Than have that lonely feeling
Stealing through the night
Each little moment
Is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget

Christmas In The Northwest
Composer(s): Brenda Kutz White
Performer(s): Brenda White



The wind may not blow
Might not even snow
But there's nothing like Christmas
Right here at home

It may not be white
Might be a rainy night
But there's nothing like sharing
The sounds and the sights of ...

Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift that we can share
Christmas in the Northwest
Is a child's answered prayer

Take away the presents
And they still will have a dream
For Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift God wrapped in green

That first Christmas night
Under just one light
In a small town, a child came down
The Father's gift of love and life

And so, I dedicate this prayer
To the children in our care
That we teach them of the gifts of love
He has planted everywhere
Just like ...

Christmas in the Northwest
It's a gift that we can share
Christmas in the Northwest
Is a child's answered prayer

If you take away the presents
Why, they still will have a dream
For Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift God wrapped in green

And I know it may not turn out white
But it's still 'silent night'
So gather those you love
And tell the story of the gift of living
Believe we see from the one who's giving
Giving us ...

Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift that we can share
Christmas in the Northwest
Is a child's answered prayer

And even if you take away the presents
Why still would have a dream
For Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift God wrapped in green

That God wrapped up in green

Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift God wrapped up in green

It's Easy
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston



Hey
I’ve got no place to be
And no one I’d rather see
I won’t mind if you can find
The time to stay with me
Oh I’ve got no time for wastin’
Gotta live a life when I can
I won’t hide if you decide
To let me be your man

Cause when I get close to you, not much to say
I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days

And I can show you the way
It’s just a game we play
It’s easy, takin’ it day by day

Hey
You know I would concede
And I think we both agree
You and I can testify
That love is what we need
Just take a look around you, livin’ for the future is blind
I believe what we can achieve will soon be left behind

The things I try to say are so hard to find
When you doubt what your love is about let me ease you mind

And I can show you the way
It’s just a game we play
It’s easy, takin’ it day by day

Hey
I’ve got no place to be
And no one I’d rather see
I won’t mind if you find
That you’re in love with me
Well we got no time to worry
Gotta live a life when I can
I won’t hide if you decide
To let me be your man

And I can show you the way
It’s just a game we play
It’s easy, takin’ it day by day

Christmas In Prison
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine
and multiple other artists



It was Christmas in prison
and the food was real good
we had turkey and pistols
carved out of wood
and I dream of her always
even when I don't dream
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream
Wait awhile eternity
old mother nature's got nothing on me
come to me
run to me
come to me, now
we're rolling
my sweetheart
we're flowing
by God!
Wait awhile eternity
old mother nature's got nothing on me
come to me
run to me
come to me, now
we're rolling
my sweetheart
we're flowing
by God!
She reminds me of a chess game
with someone I admire
or a picnic in the rain
after a prairie fire
her heart is as big
as this whole goddamn jail
and she's sweeter than saccharine
at a drug store sale
Wait awhile eternity
old mother nature's got nothing on me
come to me
run to me
come to me, now
we're rolling
my sweetheart
we're flowing
by God!
The search light in the big yard
swings round with the gun
and spotlights the snowflakes
like the dust in the sun
it's Christmas in prison
there'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick
I love you
Goodnight
Wait awhile eternity
old mother nature's got nothing on me
come to me
run to me
come to me, now
we're rolling
my sweetheart
we're flowing
by God!

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 
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!
 
( 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
Fires lighted, kids excited
It’s Christmas time again
Now Santa’s sleigh is on it’s way, with candy canes and toys
And Wonderful things that Santa Claus brings
To good little girls and boys
Candle glow and mistletoe
It’s Christmas Time Again
Stockings hung and carols sung
It’s Christmas Time Again
There’s thetree to trim
Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

There’s thetree to trim
Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer

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)

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
It's truly a real honourable experience to be here this evening
A wonderful and warm and emotional moment for all of us
And I'd like to sing a song for all of you...
It's Christmas in Heaven

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

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
