Frosty The Snowman
Composer(s): Steve Nelson; Jack Rollins
First release by: Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul with a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made of coal
Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale, they say He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk they found for when they placed it on his head he began to dance around!
Oh, Frosty, the Snowman was alive as he could be and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me
Frosty, clumsy as he can be see him lopping along! Off he goes on an icicle spree with a happy song!
Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day so he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun now, before I melt away"
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Runnin' here and there all around the square sayin', "Catch me if you can"
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop . . . and only paused a moment when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Hmm, Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry I'll be back again some day"
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . . look at Frosty go! Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . . over the hills of snow!
I've Been Floating Down The Old Green River Composer(s): Joe Cooper; Bert Kalmar Performer(s): Johnny Mercer and multiple other artists
Half past four, Dan Mc Graw, came sneak-ing to his wif-ey's door She'd been wait-ing up all night, Wait-ing for him to go to bed Dan-ny smiled, like a child, but his wif-ey grew very wild Where have you been all night long?, she cried And this is what Dan-ny re-plied
I've been float-ing down the old green riv-er on the good ship Rock and Rye But I floated to far, I got stuck on a bar I was out there a-lone, wish-ing that I was home The ship got wrecked with the captain and crew And there was on-ly one thing left to do So I had to drink the whole green riv-er dry to get back home to you (Repeat chorus)
From Texas For A Christmas Night Composer(s): Tish Hinojosa Performer(s): Tish Hinojosa
Angel wings and candle light From Texas for a Christmas night In my mind a western sky Fills my heart with stars inside it A tale of hope from long ago Still glistens like new fallen snow Boughs of green and songs of old Make the season glow
Children spy through frosty windows 'Til their sleepy eyes Take them to a place We wish we'd never left behind From here the world could be so right Dreams come true and reindeer fly Kiss me 'neath the mistletoe Make the season so

I've been away so long Wonder where I went wrong Spent my last years in a cell Never ever go away again I've been so sad and lonely Never ever ever gonna go away again

Fröhlich Soll Mein Herze Springen
Composer(s): Paul Gerhardt; Johann Crüger
Performer(s): Sumi Jo
Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen Dieser Zeit, Da vor Freud' Alle Engel singen Hört, hört, wie mit vollen Chören Alle Luft Laute ruft Christus ist geboren!
Heute geht aus seiner Kammer Gottes Held, Der die Welt Reißt aus allem Jammer Gott wird Mensch dir, Mensch, zugute Gottes Kind, Das verbind't Sich mit unserm Blute
Sollt' uns Gott nun können haßen Der uns gibt, Was er liebt Über alle Maßen? Gott gibt, unserm Leid zu wehren Seinen Sohn Aus dem Thron Seiner Macht und Ehren
Sollte von uns sein gekehret Der sein Reich Und zugleich Sich uns selbst verehret? Sollt' uns Gottes Sohn nicht lieben Der jetzt kömmt, Von uns nimmt Was uns will betrüben?
Hätte vor der Menschen Orden Unser Heil Einen Greu'l Wär'er nicht Mensch worden Hätt' er Lust zu unserm Schaden Ei, so würd' Unsre Bürd' Er nicht auf sich laden
Er nimmt auf sich, was auf Erden Wir getan, Gibt sich an Unser Lamm zu werden Unser Lamm, das für uns stirbet Und bei Gott Fuer den Tod Gnad' und Fried' erwirbet
Nun, er liegt in seiner Krippen Ruft zu sich Mich und dich Spricht mit süßen Lippen Laßet fahr'n, o liebe Brüder Was euch quält, Was euch fehlt Ich bring' alles wieder
Ei, so kommt und laßt uns laufen! Stellt euch ein, Groß und klein Eilt mit großem Haufen! Liebt den, der vor Liebe brennet Schaut den Stern, Der uns gern Licht und Labsal gönnet
Die ihr schwebt in großen Leiden Sehet, hier Ist die Tür Zu den wahren Freuden Faßt ihn wohl, er wird euch führen An den Ort, Da hinfort Euch kein Kreuz wird rühren
Wer sich fühlt beschwert im Herzen Wer empfind't Seine Sünd' Und Gewissensschmerzen Sei getrost, hier wird gefunden Der in Eil' Machet heil Die vergift'ten Wunden
Die ihr arm seid und elende Kommt herbei, Füllet frei Eures Glaubens Hände! Hier sind alle guten Gaben Und das Gold, Da ihr sollt Euer Herz mit laben
Süßes Heil, laß dich umfangen Laß mich dir, Meine Zier Unverrückt anhangen! Du bist meines Lebens Leben Nun kann ich Mich durch dich Wohl zufrieden geben
Meine Schuld kann mich nicht drücken Denn du hast Meine Last All' auf deinem Rücken Kein Fleck ist an mir zu finden Ich bin gar Rein und klar Aller meiner Sünden
Ich bin rein um deinetwillen Du gibst g'nug Ehr' und Schmuck Mich darein zu hüllen Ich will dich ins Herze schließen O mein Ruhm, Edle Blum' Laß dich recht genießen!
Ich will dich mit Fleiß bewahren Ich will dir Leben hier Dir will ich abfahren Mit dir will ich endlich schweben Voller Freud' Ohne Zeit Dort im andern Leben
I've Already Loved You In My Mind Composer(s): Conway Twitty Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Heidi Hauge; Loretta Lynn
I thought I've never seen a girl like her in here before And I could see her watching me as I walk across the floor I asked her if she'd like to dance when the band starts up again She said I never danced with strangers I don't even know your name I said we're not exactly strangers you and I My thoughts were running wild and free as I watched you tonight Just think about it and you'll find We're not exactly strangers I've already loved you in my mind
The band started playing a slow moving song she got up and easily moved into my arms I kept on saying the things a girl likes to hear And when the dance was over she whispered in my ear She said we're not exactly strangers you and I My thoughts were running wild and free while you held me tight I thought about it and I find We're not exactly strangers I've already loved you in my mind
Frohe Weihnacht, Ihr Leute, jetzt kommt wieder die Zeit der Erwartung und Vorfreude, und weit und breit ist im Lande ein Singen, Halleluja! Registrierkassen klingen von fern und von nah Und die Luft ist von Pfefferkuchenduft erfüllt und kein Lautsprecher, aus dem's nicht "Stille Nacht" brüllt
Frohe Weihnacht, Ihr Leute, jetzt kommt wieder das Fest wo das Schenken uns Menschen befällt wie die Pest wo man sich mit Parfum und Krawatten beglückt und sich Liebe in Haushaltsgeräten ausdrückt wo die Sektkorken knallen, wo man reinhaut und schlemmt und die Umwelt mit Weihnachtskarten überschwemmt
Frohe Weihnacht, Ihr Leute! So wie in jedem Jahr gibt's auch diesmal die Chance, auf dem Weihnachtsbasar allen Unrat zu stiften aus Schränken und Truh'n und was man sonst nicht wagt, auf den Sperrmüll zu tun in der frohen Gewißheit, daß, was man da verschenkt bis zum nächsten Jahr bei unsern Nachbarn rumhängt
Frohe Weihnacht, Ihr Leute! Jetzt ist die Zeit wieder dran wo sich mancher vor Nächstenliebe gar nicht einkriegen kann jeder Politiker Sprüche vom Frieden klopft daß das Wachs auf Tischtücher und Teppiche tropft wo man friedlich zu Hause sitzt und Nüße knackt und in Wald und in Flur Weihnachtsbäume umhackt
Frohe Weihnacht, Ihr Leute, und erfreut Euch daran daß man jetzt nicht so sehr auffällt als Weihnachtsmann daß in jeder Amtsstube eine Kerze brennt wie ein Menschlichkeitsschimmer am Amtsfirmament Freut Euch über Lametta, Tand und Lichterglanz und darüber, jetzt Mensch zu sein und keine Gans!
Frohe Weihnacht, Ihr Leute, und verliert keine Zeit! Der Drogist hält schon Sylvesterknaller bereit! Und bedenkt, jeder Christbaumkringel, den Ihr heut nicht eßt wird schon morgen zu Osterhasen umgepreßt! Dann ist Weihnacht vorbei, und als Trost bleibt dann bloß Gegen Ende August geht's ja schon wieder los gegen Ende August geht's ja schon wieder los
Ivanovitch Composer(s): Maurice Vallet; Julien Clerc First release by: Julien Clerc - 1968
Il était arrivé Le fiacre l'emportait Toujours la même ville Toujours les mêmes gares Des églises barbares Saint-Pétersbourg ma ville
Ivanovitch est là Ivanovitch est là Et le ciel est toujours si gris Et la pluie chaque jour si triste
Tout est fermé La maison est là solitaire Une rumeur, un pas traîné La porte s'ouvre un peu Et il est entraîné par ceux Qui l'appellent mon frère Ivanovitch est là Ivanovitch est là Et le ciel est toujours si gris Et la pluie chaque jour si triste
Dans un coin du logis Tous se pressent autour de lui La fille a l'air fanée Et le garçon gêné Le père et tous les apprentis Qui rêvent de Paris
Ivanovitch est là Ivanovitch est là Et le ciel est toujours si gris Et la pluie chaque jour si triste
Freue dich, Welt, der Herr ist nah! Empfange Gottes Sohn! Die Herzen sei'n ihm aufgetan O, kommt vor seinen Thron! O, kommt vor seinen Thron! O, kommt, o kommt vor seinen Thron!
Freue dich, Welt, der Herr regiert! Auf, singt ihm Preis und Ehr'! Ruhrt Harfen, Saiten ihm zum Ruhm ihn loben Erd' und Meer! Ihn loben Erd' und Meer! Ihn loben, loben Erd' und Meer!
Er lenkt die Welt mit weisem Sinn und zeigt uns seine Pracht Fur uns gab er sein Leben hin und herrschet nun mit Macht! Und herrschet nun mit Macht! Und herrschet, und herrschet nun mit Macht!

Forever Christmas Eve Composer(s): Greg Barnhill; Phil Swann Performer(s): Lee Ann Womack
It's something so magical, incomprehensible Yet it's so sensible, this you and me The snow on the street outside that catches the blue moonlight Why can't it always be forever Christmas Eve
Sparks from a midnight flame, the giggle of French champagne A kiss sends us about half way to fantasy Wait mister brand new year, why can't we stay right here Oh, how I wish it could be forever Christmas Eve
A distant bell is ringing out across the winter land It's singing out a song of things to come And though this kind of holiday is not what we had planned It's wonderful tonight
It's something so magical, incomprehensible Yet it's so sensible, this you and me The snow on the street outside that catches the blue moonlight Why can't it always be forever Christmas Eve
Sparks from a midnight flame, the giggle of French champagne A kiss sends about half way to fantasy Wait mister brand new year, why can't we stay right here Oh, how I wish it could be forever Christmas Eve
Wait mister brand new year, spare us a little cheer Why can't it always be forever Christmas Eve Forever Christmas Eve

Sur une plage il y avait une belle fille Qui avait peur d'aller prendre son bain Elle craignait de quitter sa cabine Elle tremblait de montrer au voisin Un deux trois elle tremblait de montrer quoi?
Son petit itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Qu'elle mettait pour la première fois Un itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Un bikini rouge et jaune à p'tits pois Un deux trois voilà ce qu'il arriva

For unto us, a child is born Unto us, a Son is given Unto us, a sweet child is born I wish I could've been there
About two thousand years had gone by Since the event that changed my life, ooh There Wise Men and all heaven proclaim
The King is here and will never reign, ooh If I could've been laid eyes on Him So powerful yet innocent Knowing that He would've come just for me I would've held my Greator in my arms Oh what joy, what unspeakable joy!
I wish I could've been there On Christmas morn I wish I could've seen my Jesus When He was born I wish I could've been there On Christmas morn I wish I could've seen my Jesus When He was born
I wish I were there in Bethlehem When they rejoiced at the birth of the Lamb, oooh And I will always celebrate When Jesue came, when He came and took all our sins away

It's Your World Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins
It's your world and your smile turns on my sunshine You have all the power it takes to make me blue You control the way I feel both day and night time It's your world and I'm just passin' through
Let me live, let me live Let me live in, live in your world If only for part of the time There must be, there must be Oh sweet love, love in your world 'Cause there just isn't any in mine
It's your world and I don't belong in it Foolishly I keep pretending that I do From the start you've made it plain that you don't want me It's your world and I'm just passin' through
For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Dean Dillon Performer(s): George Strait
Let there be not one stranger to away in a manger Let there be not one soul left untold Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one Who will gather the force
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas So for Christ's sake let everyone know They all have the choice so lift up your voice Make sure they know by Christmas Eve Pray that everyone sees That we've opened the eyes that were closed For Christ's sake it's Christmas And for Christ's sake let everyone know
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas So for Christ's sake let everyone know They all have the choice so lift up your voice Make sure they know by Christmas Eve Pray that everyone sees That we've opened the eyes that were closed For Christ's sake it's Christmas And for Christ's sake let everyone know
It's Your Turn Composer(s): John Entwistle Performer(s): The Who
Up here on the ledge I'm getting pushed to the edge People line up behind me to step into my shoes Up here in the precipice I'm getting close to my nemesis People fighting each other to jump into my blues
There's a young kid inside me somewhere He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies With the blood and the moon in his eyes I hear his voice when I'm comin' down Sleep is for fools, whe never see the sunrise Who never get to live twice
I was a face in a magazine When you were still playin' with your plasticine Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream You can take the fans and the enemies The little girls who squeeze and tease Then pass on their social disease Go get your penicillin
I know you young and dumb I know where you're comin' from Don't know where you're goin' to But I bin there same as you You're running out of ideas And new hats to try on I know you middle age Same song, different page I know what you're goin' through Made the same mistakes as you All you want is some hope And a shoulder to cry on
There's a stranger inside me somewhere That shadow behind me, don't even look like me An echoed apology He's a wolf in sheep disguise I wake up in places I don't even recognize Pretender in paradise
It's your turn, step up and take it If you've got the guts to hang on You can make C'mon, c'mon, come on Ooooh take it!
First Christmas In Love Composer(s): Janice Kapp Perry Performer(s): The Perry Family
Are the lights a little brighter this year Is the snow a little whiter this year Is the glow from the fireplace as soft as it seems It wraps me with happiness fills me with dreams
Is my step a little quicker this year Is my heart a little bigger this year Maybe nothing has changed but it seems so because It's my first Christmas In love
There s magic in the music this year There is joy in every carol I hear And the sweet Christmas feelings the sights and the sounds Are somehow more wonderful this time around
Is my smile a little brighter this year! Is the world a little righter this year? Maybe nothing has changed but it seems so because It s my first Christmas in love
All the wonders of Christmas have been there before Bur this year it seems to mean so much more! It's our first Christmas In love
It's the best Christmas that ever was Through the years we remember This season because it was our first Christmas in love Spoken "Isn't that the misteltoe?"
