    It's Gonna Be All Right
    Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
    First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1964
    Covered by: The Stool Pigeons - 1997



    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right

    The day you came my way
    I knew I would stay
    Close by your side
    To keep you staisfied

    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right

    When you look at me
    In your eyes I can see
    The love that grows each day
    That's why I've gotta say

    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right

    Never thought I'd find a girl like you
    Now I have, I know I'll never be blue
    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right

    Every time we meet
    My heart skips a beat
    And now you're here to stay
    You'll always hear me say

    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right

    Never thought I'd find a girl like you
    Now I have, I know I'll never be blue
    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right

    Every time we meet
    My heart skips a beat
    And now you're here to stay
    You'll always hear me say

    It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
    It's gonna be all right
    It's gonna be all right
    It's gonna be all right
    It's gonna be all right

    Christmas Is Now Drawing Near At Hand
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Steve Winwood; Lal Waterson



    Christmas is now drawing near at hand
    Come serve the Lord and be at His command
    And God a portion for you will provide
    And give a blessing to your soul besides

    Down in the garden where flowers growing ranks
    Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks
    Down on your knees and pray both night and day
    Leave off your sins and live fro' pray tae pray

    So proud and lofty is some sort of sin
    Which many take delight and pleasure in
    Whose conversation God doth smirch as lie
    And yet He shakes His sword before He stri'

    So proud and lofty do some people go
    Dressing theirselves like players in a show
    They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff
    As if God had not made 'em fine enough

    Even little children learn to curse and swear
    And can't rehearse one word of godly prayer
    Oh teach them better, oh teach them to rely
    On Christ the sinner's friend who reigns on high

    Christmas Is Near
    Composer(s): Jeanette Wormald



    When the spinifex flowers and harvest begins
    We know that Christmas is near
    When the bitumen shimmers in summer's heat haze
    We know that Christmas is near
    When the grain trucks cue at the silos
    And our town comes alive with its lights
    Like small coloured jewels, they sparkle
    In the warmth of a December night

    So here's to Christmas, red ochre plains and opal blue skies
    Late summer evenings and cockatoo dawns
    When spirits and temperatures rise
    So here's to Christmas, grey kangaroos, the currawong sings
    We gather together beneath southern stars
    To remember the birth of our King

    When cicadas sing harmony in eucalyptus
    We know that Christmas is near
    When Sunday Schools practise nativity plays
    We know that Christmas is near
    When the kitchen is busy with baking
    Sights and smells of Christmas delights
    And friends and families gather, to celebrate into the night

    Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
    First release by: Carole King - 1971
    Covered by multiple other artists



    It's gonna' to take some time this time
    to get myself in shape
    I really fell outta line this time
    I really missed the gate
    the birds on the telephone line (this time)
    are calling out to me (this time)
    and I won't be so blind next time and I'll find some harmony

    and it's gonna' to take some time this time
    no matter what I plan
    and like the young trees
    in the winter time
    I'll learn how to bend
    after all the tears we've shed
    how could we make amends
    so it's one more round for experience
    and I'm on the road again.....
    and it's gonna' to take some time, this time.....

    after all the tears we've shed
    how could we make amends
    so it's one more round for experience
    and I'm on the road again...
    and it's gonna' to take some time
    this time........

    A Christmas To Remember Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers and multiple other artists



    You've made this a Christmas to remember
    Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
    Strangers meet and willingly surrender
    Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

    Almost went to Aspen but something told me no
    I considered Mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
    And I even thought of Gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
    So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes

    And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way
    Curled up by a fireplace in a Tahoe ski chalet
    With a fast talking lover with some slow burning wood
    But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good

    And you've made this a Christmas to remember
    Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
    Change the radio and I'll turn the lights down dimmer
    Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

    Strangers when we met lovers as we leave
    Christmas to remember too good to believe
    Don't know how it went but I know we'll meet again
    We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind

    You've made this a Christmas to remember
    Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
    Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
    Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

    We loved and laughed and played and joked sang Christmas songs and talked to folks
    Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes then to the lodge for dinner
    But now it's time for us to go as our hearts melt like chimney snow
    There's just one thing I want to know can we do this next winter
    Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

    You've made this a Christmas to remember
    Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
    Though the fire is hot we'll just have to let it simmer
    Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

    You've made this a Christmas to remember
    Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
    Though it's cold outside we'll just stoke the burning embers
    Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

    Christmas Is Love Composer(s): Rich Alves - T.J. Knight - Jerry Taylor Performer(s): Alabama



    It's that time of year
    When the whole world is heart to heart
    You can feel love all around you
    You can see it everywhere

    Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singin'
    Christmas is love, it's fam'lies comin' home
    Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces
    Christmas is love

    Christmas is love, a warm and peaceful feelin'
    Chirstmas is love, hear the church bells ring
    Christmas is love, it's sharin' in the givin'
    Christmas is love

    We all gather 'round,
    Watch the lights dancin' on the tree
    The spirit of the season
    You feel it in the air

    Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singin'
    Christmas is love, it's fam'lies comin' home
    Christmas is love, (it's on the children's faces)
    Christmas is love

    (Christmas is love), a warm and peaceful feelin'
    Christmas is love, just hear the church bells ring
    Christmas is love, it's sharin' in the givin'
    Christmas is love,
    Christmas is love,
    Christmas is love
    Is love

    It's Getting Dangerous
    Composer(s): Scott Gorham; Phil Lynott
    Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



    The man finds himself alone for the first time in his life
    He’s always got a problem, he’s got to work it out wrong or right
    He’s got to work it out, he’s so lonely in the night
    He’s got to work it all alone

    Now who in the world would believe that he’s got another trick up his sleeve
    And who in the world wants to know which way should he go
    Which way should he turn? which way should he learn?
    Which day should he stop? which way to the top?

    I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then
    I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

    This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it’s all pain
    He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain
    Now who in the world would have know
    That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown

    Through the rain, the sleet and snow
    But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul
    So the let the cold winds blow
    What he doesn’t see he doesn’t know

    I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then
    I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

    I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then
    I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all
    He said, watch out for the danger
    He said, watch out

    The man is a winner for the first time in his life
    He looks a little thinner but he says hey that doesn’t matter
    But if you look closely
    You’ll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind

    And now that he has won it doesn’t matter how or which way it was done
    Now that he’s in control, revenge is in his heart and soul
    The power is at his fingertips, vengeance is on his lips
    But the power he fought to control now has got him in it’s grips

    I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then
    I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

    I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then
    I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

    I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then
    But now we’re all grown up and we’re strangers
    You see, bit by bit, part by part, we slipped and slipped
    Till we’d grown apart and now we’re strangers

    Christmas Is Just Another Day

    Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Marcia Ball



    Christmas is just another day for me
    For there’s a broken heart beneath my Christmas Tree
    Till you are back in my arms where you should be
    Christmas is just another day

    Bells are ringing everywhere
    Joyous laughter fills the air
    But without you here tonight
    Nothing seems right

    Christmas is just another day for me
    There’s nothin’ but gloom around my Christmas Tree
    Until you are back in my arms where you should be
    Christmas is just another day

    Old friends call me up and say
    “Have a happy Holiday”
    I can’t bare to say you’re gone
    And I’m so alone

    Christmas is just another day for me
    There’s nothin’ but gloom around my Christmas Tree
    Until you are back in my arms where you should be
    Christmas is just another day

    It's Getting Better
    Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
    First release by: Mama Cass - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Once I believed that when love came to me
    It would come with rockets bells and poetry
    But with me and you
    It just started quietly and grew
    And believe it or not
    Now there's something groovy and good 'bout whatever we got

    And it's getting better
    Growing stronger
    Warm and wilder
    Getting better every day
    Better every day

    I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed
    I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
    Holding you at night
    Just seems kind of natural and right
    And it's not hard to see
    That it isn't half of what it's going to turn out to be

    'Cause it's getting better
    Growing stronger
    Warm and wilder
    Getting better every day
    Better every day

    Da da da da da da da da

    And I don't mind waiting
    I don't mind waiting
    'Cause no matter how long it takes
    The two of us know

    That it's getting better
    Growing stronger
    Warm and wilder
    Getting better every day
    Better every day
    Getting better every day, it's getting better every day

    Christmas Is Here Composer(s): Michael Omartian - Stormie Omartian - Donna Summer Performer(s): Donna Summer



    Christmas is here
    Snowflakes filling the air
    People rushing past every display

    No time for napping
    There's buying and then wrapping
    The gifts to be given away

    Sparkling lights
    All the dazzling sights
    Christmas trees loaded with joy

    Hearts full of giving
    Children are living
    For what could be their favorite toy

    Christmas is here

    Christmas is here
    It's a wonderful time of the year
    Christmas is here
    Christmas is here
    It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time of the year

    Families together
    No matter the weather
    Feasting and fun is the goal

    Grandma is making
    Sugar cookies are baking
    To warm up the body and soul

    Full decoration
    In anticipation of times
    Marked with laughter and cheer

    And day long awaited
    And much celebrated
    Christmas is finally here

    Christmas is here
    It's a wonderful time of the year
    Christmas is here
    Christmas is here
    It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time of the year

    A festive occasion
    A welcome invasion
    Of carolers filling the air

    Song of rejoicing
    And everyone voicing
    A story of hope we all share

    Christmas is here

    Christmas is here
    It's wonderful time of the year
    Christmas is here
    Christmas is here
    It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time of the year
    Christmas is here
    It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time of the year

    Christmas is finally here

    Christmas is for children, that's what people say
    All their smiles are brighter because of Christmas day

    Cookies on the mantle, Santa's on his way
    Soon we'll open presents, here on Christmas day

    I remember Christmas
    Everyone was there
    All around our table
    The joy that we would share

    Christmas is for children, try it and you'll see
    They're calling from your mem'ry, the child you used to be

    I remember Christmas
    A wreath upon the door
    Friendly smiles and handshakes
    Who could ask for more

    What ever your life brings you, be happy Christmas day
    Christmas is for children
    It will always be that way

    Performer(s): Faron Young - 1971
    and multiple other artists



    It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
    Just woke up the wanting in me
    Wishin' I'd never met her, knowing if I forget her
    How much better off she would be
    The longer I hold on, the longer this goes on
    The harder that it's going to be
    But it's four in the morning and once more the dawning
    Just woke up the wanting in me
    I'd never desert her, God knows when I hurt her
    That's the last thing that I want to do
    She tries, but she can't tell how she feels
    But I know, too well, just what she's going through
    If I love her so much, I don't know why I can't do
    The right thing and just let her be
    But it's four in the morning and once more the dawning
    Just woke up the wanting in me
    Last night I told her, "This time it's all over"
    Making two times I've told her goodbye
    Last night, we broke up, this morning I woke up
    And for the fifth time, I'm changing my mind
    I saw more love in her eyes when I left her
    Than most foolish men will ever see
    An' it's four in the morning and once more the dawning
    Just woke up the wanting in me
    It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
    Just woke up the wanting in me
    Wishin' I'd never met her...

    Christmas In Your Arms Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Steve Wariner Performer(s): Alabama; Bill Anderson; Steve Wariner



    All my friends are asking me
    where I plan to spend the holidays
    People seem to celebrate the season in so many different ways
    Some go where the weather's freezing cold while others like it warm
    I don't care about the weather, just whether I spend Christmas in your arms

    We could drive up to the mountains, build a fire and watch it snow
    We could sail down to the islands where the gentle breezes blow
    I'd be happy in the city, I'd be happy on the farm
    I don't care where I spend Christmas, as long as I spend Christmas in your arms

    It was only last December I had no Christmas spirit in my heart
    My world lay cold and shattered in the ashes of a dream that fell apart
    But now you're here beside me, no greater gift is wrapped beneath my tree
    And the arms you wrap around me and the precious gift of love you give to me

    We could drive up to the mountains, build a fire and watch it snow
    We could sail down to the islands where the gentle breezes blow
    I'd be happy in the city, I'd be happy on the farm
    I don't care whre I spend Christmas, as long as I spend Christmas in your arms

    I don't care where I spend Christmas, as long as I spend Christmas in your arms

    It's For You
    Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
    First release by: Cilla Black - 1964
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I'd say some day
    I'm bound to give my heart away
    When I do, it's for you
    Love, true love
    Seems to be all I'm thinking of
    But it's true, it's for you

    They said that love was a lie
    Told me that I should never try to find
    Somebody who'd be kind, kind to only me
    So I just tell them, they're right
    Who wants a fight?
    Tell them, I quite agree, nobody'd love me
    Then I look at you
    And love comes, love shows
    I give my heart and no-one knows that I do
    It's for you, it's for you

    They said that love was a lie
    Told me that I should never try to find
    Somebody who'd be kind, kind to only me
    So I just tell them, they're right
    Who wants a fight?
    Tell them, I quite agree, nobody'd love me
    Then I look at you
    And love comes, love shows
    I give my heart and no-one knows that I do
    It's for you
    It's for you
    It's for you

    Christmas In Vegas
    Composer(s): Marc Almond
    Performer(s): Marc Almond



    Well I just can't explain
    The despair that I feel
    As the wheel goes round, and round, round
    Now I must return to the city of steel
    Put my feet on the ground, the ground, ground
    In Las Vegas there are no clocks
    The time goes slow, so slow
    My future's mapped out in the cards
    And I feel so low, so low
    Now we're in the season
    Of love and goodwill
    But the wheel still goes round, and round, round
    But there's love in my heart (love in my heart)
    Goodwill in my soul (goodwill in my soul)
    I'm here on my own
    There's nothing so lonely
    As Christmas in Vegas (Christmas in Vegas)
    The lights of Las Vegas
    Hold no magic for me
    No real substitute
    For the lights on a tree
    One day I'll return
    To the city of steel
    For roulette and blackjack
    And a the spin of the wheel
    At the table I've seen men's fortunes
    Come and go and go
    I've seen my future in the cards
    And I feel so low, so low
    Now we're in the season
    Of love and goodwill
    But the wheel still goes round, and round, round
    But there's love in my heart (love in my heart)
    Goodwill in my soul (goodwill in my soul)
    I'm here on my own
    There's nothing so lonely
    As Christmas in Vegas (Christmas in Vegas)
    I'm here on my own
    So please won't you phone me
    This Christmas in Vegas
    I'm so lonely, this Christmas in Vegas
    Please won't you phone me, this Christmas in Vegas
    I'm so lonely, won't you phone me
    Now I need you, this Christmas in Vegas
    Why don't you phone me
    Wouldn't it be nice if we both have thrown different dice

    It's Foolish But It's Fun
    Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Robert Stolz
    Performer(s): Deanna Durbin
    and multiple other artists



    I love to climb an apple tree
    Though apples green are bad for me
    And I'll be sick as I can be
    It's foolish but it's fun

    While wise men seek your time and space
    And get all wrinkled in the face
    From loafing in some shady place
    It's foolish but it's fun

    If it should ever come to pass
    That I inherit wealth
    I'll eat and drink and drink and eat
    Until I wreck my health

    I love to ramble over lea
    And chase the busy bumble bee
    Though the bee may light on me
    It's foolish but it's fun

    When thunder storms put folks to rout
    And no one dares to venture out
    That's when I love to slosh about
    It's foolish but it's fun

    I like to be on friendly terms
    With pollywogs and mangle worms
    And all the very deadly germs
    It's foolish but it's fun

    I love to sit beside a brook
    And wait for fish to bite
    And though they never do
    It's nice to think perhaps they might

    While others climb the mountains High
    Beneath the tree I love to lie
    And watch the snails go whizzing by
    It's foolish but it's fun

    I want to sing, I want to waltz
    My heart is doing somersaults
    I love this world with all its faults
    It's foolish but it's fun

    I want to walk a garden wall
    Especially a wall that's tall
    And if I fall, I fall that's all
    It's foolish but it's fun

    I want to climb a steeple
    And I want to ring a bell
    So I can tell the people
    That I like them all so well

    The grass is green, the sky is blue
    The cows go moo, the cuckoos coo
    I want to be a cuckoo too
    It's cuckoo but it's fun

    Christmas In The Trenches
    Composer(s): John McCutcheon
    Performer(s): John McCutcheon;
    and various other artists



    My name is Francis Tolliver, I come from Liverpool
    Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school
    To Belgium and to Flanders, to Germany to here
    I fought for King and country I love dear

    'Twas Christmas in the trenches, where the frost so bitter hung
    The frozen fields of France were still, no Christmas song was sung
    Our families back in England were toasting us that day
    Their brave and glorious lads so far away

    I was lying with my messmate on the cold and rocky ground
    When across the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound
    Says I, "Now listen up, me boys!" each soldier strained to hear
    As one young German voice sang out so clear

    "He's singing bloody well, you know!" my partner says to me
    Soon, one by one, each German voice joined in harmony
    The cannons rested silent, the gas clouds rolled no more
    As Christmas brought us respite from the war

    As soon as they were finished and a reverent pause was spent
    "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" struck up some lads from Kent
    The next they sang was "Stille Nacht"
    "`Tis `Silent Night'," says I
    And in two tongues one song filled up that sky

    "There's someone coming toward us!" the front line sentry cried
    All sights were fixed on one long figure trudging from their side
    His truce flag, like a Christmas star, shown on that plain so bright
    As he, bravely, strode unarmed into the night

    Soon one by one on either side walked into No Man's Land
    With neither gun nor bayonet we met there hand to hand
    We shared some secret brandy and we wished each other well
    And in a flare-lit soccer game we gave 'em hell

    We traded chocolates, cigarettes, and photographs from home
    These sons and fathers far away from families of their own
    Young Sanders played his squeezebox and they had a violin
    This curious and unlikely band of men

    Soon daylight stole upon us and France was France once more
    With sad farewells we each prepared to settle back to war
    But the question haunted every heart that lived that wonderous night
    "Whose family have I fixed within my sights?"

    'Twas Christmas in the trenches where the frost, so bitter hung
    The frozen fields of France were warmed as songs of peace were sung
    For the walls they'd kept between us to exact the work of war
    Had been crumbled and were gone forevermore

    My name is Francis Tolliver, in Liverpool I dwell
    Each Christmas come since World War I, I've learned its lessons well
    That the ones who call the shots won't be among the dead and lame
    And on each end of the rifle we're the same

    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
