Silver And Gold
Composer(s): Carl Perkins; Stan Perkins; Gregg Perkins
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street
His clothes were torn and tattered
With sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him
And lend him a hand
He said, I love you so much
But you must understand

Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

And he said to me, let's rest for awhile
For I have some good news to share with you, child
He said, you can't change this old world
The people need to know
That a dear savior died here
A long, long time ago

Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

His eyes shown like diamonds
And his smile was heaven sent
His hair was long and flowing
And his back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it
For that day I changed
As I watched him walk on
I forgot to get his name

He said, silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this life has ended
And your time is gone
But you can live in a world where
You'll never grow old
And things can't be bought there with silver and gold

And time can't be bought back with silver and gold 

Driving Home For Christmas
((Dutch Version: Onderweg Naar Kerstmis (Wim De Craene) - 1989))
Composer(s): Chris Rea
First release by: Chris Rea - 1988



I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
I am driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

Silver & Gold
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young



Working hard every day, never notice how the time slips away
People come, seasons go, we got something that'll never grow old
I don't care if the sun don't shine and the rain comes pouring down on me and mine
cause our kind of love never seems to get old, it's better than silver and gold

I used to have a treasure chest, got so heavy that I had to rest
I let it slip away from me, didn't need it anyway so I let it slip away
I don't care if the sun don't shine and the rain comes pouring down on me and mine
cause our kind of love never seems to get old, it's better than silver and gold

I don't care if the sun don't shine and the rain comes pouring down on me and mine
cause our kind of love never seems to get old, it's better than silver and gold

Douce nuit, sainte nuit!
Dans les cieux! L'astre luit
Le mystère annoncé s'accomplit
Cet enfant sur la paille endormi
C'est l'amour infini!
C'est l'amour infini! 

Saint enfant, doux agneau!
Qu'il est grand! Qu'il est beau!
Entendez résonner les pipeaux
Des bergers conduisant leurs troupeaux
Vers son humble berceau! 
Vers son humble berceau!

C'est vers nous qu'il accourt
En un don sans retour!
De ce monde ignorant de l'amour
Où commence aujourd'hui son séjour
Qu'il soit Roi pour toujours!
Qu'il soit Roi pour toujours!

Quel accueil pour un Roi!
Point d'abri, point de toit!
Dans sa crèche il grelotte de froid
O pécheur, sans attendre la croix
Jésus souffre pour toi!
Jésus souffre pour toi!

Paix à tous! Gloire au ciel!
Gloire au sein maternel
Qui pour nous, en ce jour de Noël
Enfanta le Sauveur éternel
Qu'attendait Israël!
Qu'attendait Israël!

It's Swell Of You
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Ben Bernie's Orch. 
and multiple other artists



Swell of you, treating me so kindly
Swell of you, I was heading blindly
Then your smile showed me the way
To love

It's swell of you
Just to let me share the spell of you
Funny what a pleasant word will do
To bring out the blue up above

When I have you as an inspiration
I'm sure to get by
And in appreciation
I promise that I'll love you dear
Until the day I die

It's swell of you
While I live my lips will tell of you
Just how grand you are,
And that you'll be the one for me
You'll never know exactly what you've done for me
But it's all so awfully, mighty swell
It's swell of you

It's Summer
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations
and multiple other artists



Outside my window, a robin builds a nest
At last winter's gone away to rest
Once again, the leaves have returned to the trees
I can just feel, that soft summer breeze
There's magic in the air
Winter's disappeared, it' s summer

Children will be playing, in the park...
Days will be longer, 'til dark
Nights will be long
The star-filled skies...
A perfect setting,
For a girl and a guy
There's magic in the air
Green grass everywhere, it's summer

Lovers, will walk the beach hand in hand...
While others, build castles in the sand

Now that summer's here
There'll be millions of things to do
Vacation here or at a farm
Whatever pleases you

Summer, is the happiest season of them all...
So everybody, get together and have yourself a ball
There's magic in the air
Green grass everywhere, it's summer

Don't Wish Me Merry Christmas
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson



Children are singing just outside my door
Snowflakes are falling it's Christmas once more
Everyone's happy but I feel so blue 
It's just not like Christmas since I don't have you
So don't wish me merry Christmas this year 
For how could that ever be
Tell me how could Christmas be merry and bright 
If you're not here with me

We used to add presents and hang mistletoe
Then sit by the fireside and turn the light low
But things are so different since you went away
And now to me Christmas is just another day
So don't wish me merry Christmas...

It's Such A Small World
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
Rodney Crowell; Rosanne Cash; Diane Horner



Fancy meeting you here
Tonight it's such a small world 
New York ain't my town
I don't come around but once in a while
This is such a surprise to see you
Girl your looking so good it's been a long time
Since you've crossed my mind it's such a small world
Just one night on the town 
I came looking around for something to do
Just a change of my plans on leaving
And I stay around and I run into you
Which just comes to prove it's such a small world
It's such a small world
I've lived alone for awhile
It's such small world
This feels like I've fallen out of the sky

You and me will always be
Just looking for something that's already happened
Years go by but you and I don't have to look beyond today
Maby just for tonight
We can turn out the light
Lay your heart out on the line
Let go off your mind
You know just what to say
You know just what to do
You still look like the day when I first met you
I'll be gone once again come morning
Like I've always done
But to see you tonight
Makes everything alright it's such a small world
Right here you stand as if it was planned
It's such a small world

Don't get so busy that you miss
Giving just a little kiss
To the ones you love

To give them just a little smile
A little is enough

How many people are asking for love

To give a little love everyday
Don't Save It All For Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love...

How could you wait another minute
A hug is warmer when you're in it
And Baby that's a fact
And saying "I love you's" always better
Seasons, reasons, they don't matter
So don't hold back
How many people in this world
So needful in this world
How many people are praying for love

So Don't Save It All For Christmas Day

To give a little love everyday

Everyone, everywhere
Don't Save It All For Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love...
Love...

It's Still Rock & Roll To Me
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
and multiple other artists



What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
"Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
"Welcome back to the age of jive
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money"
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me 

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
"Can't you tell that it's out of style?"
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise a miracle mile?
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
You best bet's a true baby blue Continental"
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me 

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
'Cause it's always been the same old scene
There's a new band in town
But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
Aimed at your average teen 

How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers"
Next phase, new wave , dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me 

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
"Don't you know that their out of touch?"
Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
"If you are then you think too much
Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money"
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Donde esta Santa Claus?
And the toys that he will leave
Mamacita, oh, where is Santa Claus?
I look for him because it's a Christmas Eve

I know that I should be sleeping
But maybe he's not far away
Out of the window I'm peeping
Hoping to see him in his sleigh

I hope he won't forget to clack his castinet
And to his reindeer, say
"Oh Pancho, Oh! Vixen, Oh! Pedro, Oh! Blitzen"
Ole! Ole! Ole! cha cha cha

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh! Where is Santa Claus?
It's Christmas Eve

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
I look for him because it's Christmas Eve

I know that I should be sleeping
But maybe he's not far away
Out of the window I'm peeping
Hoping to see him in sleigh

I hope he won't forget to crack his castinet
And to his reindeer, say
"Oh Pancho, Oh! Vixen, Oh! Pedro, Oh! Blitzen"
Ole! Ole! Ole! cha cha cha

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh! Where is Santa Claus?
It's Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve
It's Christmas Eve
It's Christmas Eve
Alright, Mamacita 
I'll go to sleep now
It's Christmas Eve......

Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour, Betty Hutton
and multiple other artists



It's somebody else's moon above, not mine
It's somebody else's night for love, not mine
A heart to someone else is a thing that melts
To me it's just a comic Valentine
Let somebody else's tear be shed, not mine
Let somebody else's nose get red, not mine
I like playing solitaire
But until I can draw a pair
It's somebody else's moon up there, not mine

Hey! Chingedy ching

Chingedy ching, 
(hee-haw, hee-haw) 
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) 
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da) 

Santa's got a little friend 
His name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey
You never see him kick
When Santa visits his paisons
With Dominick he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot
Climb the hills of Italy

Hey! Chingedy ching

It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw) 
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) 
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da) 

Jingle bells around his feet 
And presents on the sled
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby
On top of Dominick's head
A pair of shoes for Louie 
And a dress for Josephine 
The labels on the inside says
They're made in Brooklyn

Hey! Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw) 
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw) 
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) 
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da) 

Children sing, and clap their hands
And Dominick starts to dance
They talk Italian to him
And he even understands 

Cumpare sing
Cumpare su
And dance 'sta tarantel
When jusamagora comes to town
And brings du ciuccianello

Hey! Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw) 
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw) 
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) 
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da) 

Hey! Dominick! Buon Natale!

Push me 'til I fall
Treat me like a criminal

It's So Hard
Composer(s): John Lennon 
Performer(s): John Lennon



You gotta live
You gotta love
You gotta be somebody
You gotta shove
But it's so hard, it's really hard 
Sometimes I feel like going down 

You gotta eat
You gotta drink
You gotta feel something
You gotta worry
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down 

But when it's good
It's really good
And when I hold you in my arms baby
Sometimes I feel like going down 

You gotta run
You gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down 

It's So Easy!

It seems so easy (seems so easy, seems so easy)

Where you're concerned my heart learned
It's so easy to fall in love

It's so easy to fall in love

Look into your heart and see
What your love book has set apart for me
It seems so easy (seems so easy, seems so easy)
Umm-hmm so doggone easy (doggone easy, doggone easy)
Umm-hmm, it seems so easy (seems so easy, seems so easy, seems so easy)
Where you're concerned my heart learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

Do You Know It's Christmas?
Composer(s): Paul Gentry - Rhesa Siregar - Larry Holder - Elton Smith



Do you feel a crispness in the air?
Autumn's past, yet something more is there
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The joyful, loving season we all share

Lights that line the street are dancing bright
Stirring special feelings with the sight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight

Oh, the winter's come to the meadow lands
As we're gazing out the windows of our home
Watching snowflakes fall in the starlit night
Reflecting all God's love that shines inside

We cherish every moment on this special day
This time's a gift from God
Let's share it with everyone along the way

Hear the church bells sound through the peaceful town
Awakening God's Spirit in each soul
As the children play on this Christmas Day
We are thankful for the joy we've come to know

Lights that line the street are dancing bright
Stirring special feelings with the sight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight

Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight
