Everything's different But nothing has changed Are we going in circles It's Christmas again Can't you hear the sleigh bells ring All our voices unite And look up to the heavens See the stars shining bright Everybody needs a little lovin' Around Christmas time Somehow you got to know you're going to be all right Do you really remember how it used to be Sitting under the Christmas tree In your heart you'll Find the season We've been blessed by the children Black, yellow and white They believe in the things We try to deny Oh, so throw down your weapons But continue to fight And let's love one another On this holy night Oh Everybody needs a little lovin' Around Christmas time Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right Oh Do you really remember how it used to be Sitting under the Christmas tree In your heart you'll Find the season Oh reach down inside (won't you reach down inside) your heart And see all the love Oh in your heart (in your heart) you'll Find the reason Everybody needs a little lovin' Around Christmas time Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right (Oh you're gonna be alright) Do you really remember how it used to be Me lovin' you and you lovin' me In you're heart you'll Find the season
Its you, just you, no one but you Its you that I care about, how can I live without you Its you I love, all else above I know that it had to be, and it will always be you

Its you, just you, and Ill be true Im yours till eternity, now and forever its you

Do you ever stop & think why I love you? Do you ever stop & think why I think of you? It's just because, it's just because It's just because our love is true

The Christmas Spirit Composer(s): John R. Cash Performer(s): Johnny Cash
(Praises sing to Christ the King and peace to men on earth) On Christmas Eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth And in my dream I saw and heard the ways the different people hail the King Whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was
In London Town I walked around Piccadilly Circus A mass of people movin' here and there I wondered where On every face at every place was hurry up I'm late But a kind old man at a chestnut stand said "Merry Christmas, mate" And I felt the Christmas spirit
In a little town nestled down in Bavaria Germany I walked along to see what the feeling there would be And here again was the busy din the rushin' the yellin' But some kind boy said "Frohliche Weihnachten" Not understanding the words but gettin' the buyin' and sellin' I felt the Christmas spirit
In Bethlehem I heard a hymn some distant choir sang And with other tourists I walked along to a church as its bells rang Then I heard someone tell someone "there's where Christ was born I wonder if he looked like our baby looked on that first morn" And then I really felt the Christmas spirit
From a businessman in the Holy Land at a sidewalk souvenir shop I bought a little Bible, since I'd hardly stopped And it was in Paris, France, somehow by chance, that I took the Bible out And as I flipped the pages, I saw these words and I knew what it was all about For I read 'fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy Which shall be to all people For unto you he was born this day in the City of David a Saviour Which is Christ the Lord'
Then I took the little Holy Book held it close and tight I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night So suddenly it came to me for when I awoke on Christmas Day I felt the Christmas spirit down deep inside to stay
(O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight)
It's Just A Thought Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
It's just a thought But I've noticed something strange Getting harder to explain All the years are passing bye and bye Still I don't know what makes it go Who said to wait and you'll see?
It's just a thought But I wondered if you knew That the song up there is you They can't take it from you If you don't give it away Don't give it away Ooh (It's given away)
It's just a thought But the word has come too late That a bad idea will take Just about a lifetime to explain And don't you see Good one's gonna be much longer Who's gonna wait, just to see?

It's Just A Matter Of Time Composer(s): Clyde Otis; Brook Benton; Belford Hendricks First release by: Brook Benton - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Someday, some way, you'll realize that you've been blind Yes, darling, you're going to need me again It's just a matter of time
Go on, go on, until you reach the end of the line But I know you'll pass my way again It's just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had You laughed and called me a clown Remember, in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down
I know, I know that one day you'll wake up and find That my love was a true love It's just a matter of time
It's In The Book Composer(s): Johnny Standley; Art Thorsen Performer(s): Johnny Standley
I have a message for you, a very sad message! My subject for this evening will be Little Bo Peep
It says here, "Little Bo Peep", who was a little girl "has lost her sheep, and doesn't know where to find them" Now that's reasonable, isn't it? It's, it's reasonable to assume if Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep it's only natural that she wouldn't know where to find them That, that basically is reasonable, but, uh, "leave them alone" Now that overwhelms me completely overwhelms me The man said she lost her sheep, turns right around and boldly states "She doesn't know where to find them" And then has the stupid audacity to say, "Leave them alone!" Now! Now, now think for a moment! Think! If the sheep were lost, and you couldn't find them you'd have to leave them alone, wouldn't you? So, "Leave them alone" "Leave them alone" It's in the book!
"Leave them alone and they", they being the sheep, "they will come home" Ah yes, they'll come home Oh, there'll be a brighter day tomorrow, they will come home! It's in the book
"They will come home a-waggin' their tails" Pray tell me what else could they wag? "They will come home a-waggin' their tails behind them, behind them!" Did we think they'd wag them in front? Of course, they might have come home in reverse They could have done that, I really don't know But, none the less, it's in the book
So now if you will, kindly pick up your books, and turn to page 222 We'll ask you all to sing You'll find your books on the backs of your seats Are we ready?
Everyone, 222 Let's really enjoy ourselves, let's live it up All together
Do you remember grandma's lye soap? Good for everything in the home And the secret was in the scrubbing It wouldn't suds and couldn't foam
Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap Used for, for everything, everything on the place For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes And for your hands and for your face
So we'll now sing the second verse Let's get it with great exuberance, let's live it up It's not raining inside tonight Everyone, let's have a happy time Are we ready? All together, the second verse
Little Herman and brother Thurman Had an aversion to washing their ears Grandma scrubbed them with the lye soap And they haven't heard a word in years
Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap Sing all out, all over the place For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes And for your hands and for your face
Well, let's sing what's left of the last verse Let's have a happy time, everyone The last verse, all together Everyone!
Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley Suffered from Ulcers, I understand She swallowed a cake of grandma's lye soap Has the cleanest ulcers in the land
Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap Sing right out, all over the place The pots and, the pots and pans, oh dirty dishes And for your hands and for your face
I walk along the city streets, as it's nearing Christmas day And the falling snow is music to my ears In the rumble of the subways, in the shoppers hustling by There's a melody in everything I hear
It's like a Christmas serenade Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh Coloured street lights watch the world at play A Christmas serenade
From the Santas on the corner, to the skaters in the park Every sound's another symphony to me I can hear the Christmas carols, from the children in the square Singing songs in perfect harmony
It's like a Christmas serenade Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh Coloured street lights watch the world at play A Christmas serenade
Deep in my heart I can hear a song Wish the feeling lasted all year long
It's like a Christmas serenade Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh Coloured street lights watch the world at play A Christmas serenade
It's like a Christmas serenade Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh Coloured street lights watch the world at play A Christmas serenade

It's Impossible (Adapted from: Somos Novios - 1970) Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Armando Manzanero Performer(s): Perry Como - 1970 and multiple other artists
It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky It's just impossible It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry It's just impossible Can I hold you closer to me And not feel you going through me But the second that I never think of you Oh, how impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore It's just impossible If I had you could I ever ask for more It's just impossible And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul And not regret it for to live without your love Is just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore It's just impossible If I had you could I ever ask for more It's just impossible And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul And not regret it for to live without your love Is just impossible Oh impossible Impossible Impossible
Christmas Present Composer(s): Sydney Robin Performer(s): Doris Day; Don Vappie
Boxes stacked up to the ceiling All wrapped up in Christmas feeling Golden bells caress the mistletoe The colors glow-red, silver, green and blue And this I know this rainbow came from you trimmed with dew Tho my heart is overflowing Loving all the love you're showing What I'd value most would be your call To tell me when you'll be home in my arms again The loveliest Christmas present of them all What I'd value most would be your call To tell me when you'll be home in my arms again The loveliest Christmas present of them all
It's Harry I'm Planning To Marry Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Gale Robbins and multiple other artists
When you turn to the subject of Harry That's a horse from a different safari He can box like a fox, he's as dumb as an ox But it's Harry I'm planning to marry
(Yes, it's Harry she's plannin' to marry)
My heart's twined around his suspenders He's the one that I truly adore I'm numb, I succumb when he renders The face on the bar room floor
When he flexes his muscles, I flutter Like a butterfly caught in a shutter When he calls me his mate I just disintegrate
Since the world first began (Since the world first began) Never been such a man (Never been such a man) Who could love like he can So it's Harry I'm planning to marry!
