I've Got A Winner In You Composer(s): Wayland Holyfield; Don Williams Performer(s): Don Williams
I ought to know, what it's like to lose at love I've done it enough and I ought to know But then you came my way and towed away the fear of pain I won't lose again, this time I know
I've got a winner in you No way I can lose A love I can hold on to I've got a winner in you
I know how it feels, when you try and try again And then you never win; I know how it feels Oh, but this time around, I fin'lly found what it's all about They write songs about the way that I feel
I've got a winner in you No way I can lose A love I can hold on to I've got a winner in you
I've got a winner in you No way I can lose A love I can hold on to I've got a winner in you
God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen

Performer(s): "Tennessee" Ernie Ford - 1958

God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
"Fear not, then," said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might"
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
this holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
In Bethlehem, in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which his mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où des bergers étonnés levèrent les yeux vers le ciel Une étoile semblait dire "Suivez-moi, je vous conduis Il est né cette nuit!"
Ils ont suivi cette étoile Sur les chemins de Judée Et des quatre coins du monde D'autres les ont imité Et ce chant, comme une source A traversé le pays Il est né cette nuit!
La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où, au cur de tous les hommes Un peu d'amour descend du ciel Tant de choses les séparent Cette étoile les unit C'est la plus belle nuit!

Peace, my dear Child, of thy weeping
For thou shalt be our Heavenly King

My hands and my feet nailed to the rood tree
And my feet, Mother, are fastned thereby
A vile sight, Mother for you to see

And now sing we more or less
And welcome be this merry Christmas

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time give me sign I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush on you
