She got me in a sad mood tonight ...

Hot Rod Sleigh
Composer(s): Toby Keith
Performer(s): Toby Keith



I saw one of Santa's helpers at the grocery store today
He was standin' at the front door givin' candy canes away
And I told him I was worried about a certain situation
How's Santa gonna get here with this risin' population

He said, I talked to the North Pole sometime late last week
And it seems that dear ol' Santa has got somethin' up his sleeve
As I leaned in to listen, he whispered in my ear
He said, don't you dare repeat a single word of this, you hear

He said, boss man's all excited 'cause his new sled's almost ready
And they say he's got it painted up, looks just like Richard Petty's
And Rudolph and the reindeer, they're lookin' long and mean
It's the fastest, highest flyin' Winter wonderland machine
I ain't seen it for myself, but I heard say
Santa Claus has got a hot rod sleigh

It's got a heater in the floorboard 'cause he's gettin' old, you know
And a windshield with the wipers should he happen on some snow
Landin' lights of red and white all stuck along the side
So he can spot the rooftops as he's fallin' from the sky

He's got a king-size toy bin, locks in all the latches
And a big old custom air seat with a safety belt that matches
Only thing about it that worries him a heap
Is that he might be here long before the children get to sleep

He said, boss man's all excited 'cause his new sled's almost ready
And they say he's got it painted up, looks just like Richard Petty's
And Rudolph and the reindeer, they're lookin' long and mean
It's the fastest, highest flyin' Winter wonderland machine
I ain't seen it for myself, but I heard say
Santa Claus has got a hot rod sleigh

Well, I ain't seen it for myself, but I heard say
Santa Claus has got a hot rod sleigh

Sad Lookin' Moon
Composer(s): Randy Owen; Teddy Gentry; Greg Fowler
Performer(s): Alabama



I thought that you could fly, I thought that you had wings
I guess that I believed you'd never say goodbye
But my world stopped turnin' 'round, the stars turned upside down
It knocked me to the ground on my knees

Now there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me
There's a sad lookin' sky as far as I can see
I always believed and I thought the stars could see
But there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me

I shared with you my dreams, I gave you everything
I opened up my heart and I gave you my ring
Well I spent days and nights just thinkin' about the time
When you would be mine all my life

Now there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me
There's a sad lookin' sky as far as I can see
I always believed and I thought the stars could see
But there's a sad lookin' moon shinin' down on me

There's a sad lookin' moon 
A sad lookin' moon
There's a sad lookin' moon 
Shinin' down on me

Hosanna!
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Marie a souffert, Marie a donné
Naissance à minuit sonné
A l'enfant de Dieu
Les hommes l'ont su, ils ont entonné
Un alléluia glorieux
Comme pour remercier les cieux

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Marie le monde court vers toi
Il veut voir l'enfant de ta chair
Et savoir comment il se nomme

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Ton fils Jésus deviendra roi
Roi des Juifs et de l'univers
Et régnera sur tous les hommes

Marie frémi, Marie a prié
Comme tous agenouillée
Près de l'enfant
Jésus a souri, il a regardé
Les hommes venus humblement
Les bras encombrés de présents

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Marie a enfanté un roi
Courez de par les continents
Colporter la bonne nouvelle

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Cloches sonnez, jouez hautbois
Il est né le divin enfant
Cette nuit sera éternelle

Sad Lisa
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
First release by: Cat Stevens - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



She hangs her head and cries on my shirt 
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sad, Li? 
Open your door, don't hide in the dark
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me
'Cause you know that's how it must be

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa

Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain 
Upon the pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone from wall to wall
Lost in her hall, she can't hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa

She sits in a corner by the door
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know no one can see her 

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa

Homecoming Christmas
Composer(s): Ron Rogers
Performer(s): Alabama



A glowin' fire and fallin' snow, they spark a memory
Stockings hangin', mistletoe, presents beneath a tree
A happy boy wakin' up to toys, and lookin' so surprised
And wondering how Santa knew just when I closed my eyes

It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back where it all began
Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again
Memories so sweet and strong, and I've been gone too long
It's Christmas time and I am goin' home

I can see the Christmas tree and feel the warm fireplace
Handmade decorations, homemade pies and cakes
Family together now,with so much love to share
A special time and I can't wait, can't wait to be right there

It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back where it all began
Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again
Memories so sweet and strong, and I've been gone too long
It's Christmas time and I am goin' home

It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back where it all began
Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again
Memories so sweet and strong, and I've been gone too long
It's Christmas time and I am goin' home

It's Christmas time and I am goin' home
Goin' home
Goin' home

Sad Eyes
Composer(s): Robert John Pedrick
Performer(s): Robert John



Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way?
It's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say "goodbye"

Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say "goodbye"

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say "goodbye"

Sad eyes, turn the other way (turn the other way)
I don't wanna see you cry (cry, cry, cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day (he-e-e-ey)
When we would have to say "goodbye"

Christmas time is comin' 
Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin' here 
At home on Christmas Day

Well mama's in the kitchen a cookin'

Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin' here

Well Johnny's comin' home from the army 
Yes and Susie's comin' home from school

With the gift for me and you

Oh Christmas time is a comin'
Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin' here 
At home on Christmas Day

Things are gonna be hummin' here 
At home on Christmas day

Sad Cinderella
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
Performer(s): Townes Van Zandt



When the bandits have stolen your jewelry and gone
and your crippled young gypsy, he's grown tall and strong
and your dead misconceptions have proven you wrong
well then, princess, where you plannin' to turn to?
when your magazine memory has spun you around
and you realize your lovers were just painted clowns
and outside your window you start hearing sounds
where they're building a cross for to burn you

when all your bright scarlet turn slowly to blue
will you stop and decide that it's over?

When your teardrops go sour and no longer fall
the splash cross the virgin that lives down your hall
and spends all her nights with an ear to your wall
well then, what will you have you can offer?
When the firedancers finish and leave you alone
with nothing but embers and sacks full of stone
that hang round your neck, slicing through to the bone
will there still be place for your laughter?

As your shattered illusions come a-tumblin' home
and all of the butchers you've nourished have grown
and they are suddenly able to leave you alone
and they run like slaves that are set free
when your questions are answered and your pleading is done
and your mind starts to screaming that you ain't the one
that once dwelled within you, will you turn, will you run
Then princess, will you come home and get me?

Home For Christmas
Composer(s): Gary Haase; Ross Moorehead
Performer(s): *NSync



Crossing the ocean with my window view
Thinking of the times I spent with you
When I close my eyes and see the family
Making out their wishlist
All dressed up for Christmas
On my own for too many years
I miss the happiness I miss the tears
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cuz this year, I'll be home for Christmas day
I see the children playing in the snow
Precious memories that I used to know
When I see the love, in the lovers eye
Always there to teach us
The real meaning of Christmas
On my own, for too many years
I miss the happiness, I miss the tears
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cuz this year, I'll be home for Christmas day
It doesn't matter
How grown you think you are
Something happens to ya
When you see that shinning star
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cuz this year, I'll be home for Christmas day
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we shared
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cuz this year, I'll be home for Christmas day

Sacrifice

Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1989
Covered by multiple other artists



It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Shapes Of Things
(Italian Version: Non Importa - 1990)

First release by: The Yardbirds - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
my eyes just heard my brain
But will it seem the same?

(Come Tomorrow) Will I be older?
(Come Tomorrow) May be a soldier
(Come Tomorrow) May I be bolder than today?

Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen?
When time and tide have been
Fall into your passing hands
Please don't destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands

Soon I hope that I will find
Thoughts deep within my mind
That won't displace my kind

Niemand is volmaakt
Beloof maar niets
Elke droom die je kwijtraakt
Verandert iets
Als in onze liefde
Een leegte ontstaat
Verlang je naar verleiding
Je zoekt het zoete verraad
Dom dom hart
Hoe blind ben jij
Lust is illusie
En het gaat voorbij

Maar wat is liefde dan
Alleen een simpel woord
Iets van een wonder
Van een allerdaags soort
En liefde is niet volmaakt
Nooit echt volmaakt
Liefde is niet volmaakt
Maar mateloos mooi

Als het later te laat is
Hou je haar vast
Denkt dat het een compromis is
Tussen hoofd en hart
Je vraagt vertrouwen
Maar kijkt haar niet aan
Denkt dat mannen en vrouwen
Elkaar nooit echt verstaan
Dom dom hart
Hoe blind ben jij
Lust is illusie liefje
En gaat voorbij

Maar wat is liefde dan
Alleen een simpel woord
Iets van een wonder
Van een allerdaags soort
En liefde is niet volmaakt
Nooit echt volmaakt
Liefde is niet volmaakt
Maar mateloos mooi

Dom dom hart
Hoe blind ben jij
Lust is illusie liefde
En gaat voorbij

Maar wat is liefde dan
Alleen een simpel woord
Iets van een wonder
Van een allerdaags soort
En liefde is niet volmaakt
Nooit echt volmaakt
Liefde is niet volmaakt
Maar mateloos mooi

Onweerstaanbaar mooi
Hmmm
Ongelofelijk mooi
Onweerstaanbaar mooi...

Holly Leaves And Christmas Trees
Composer(s): Bobby Red West; Glen Spreen
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1971



Somewhere in, in the distant night
I hear Christmas bells
The gentle snow keeps falling down on people
Who are homeward bound
That's the way it's always been
The circle really never ends
Christmas seems to come and go
From the place that I don't know
Holly leaves and Christmas trees
It's that time of year

Lights aglow and mistletoe
Don't mean a thing when you're not here
As I walk, walk this lonely street
The sound of snow beneath my feet
I'll think of how it used to be
Holly leaves and Christmas trees 
Used to mean so much to me

We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards 
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed

And so it was that later
As the mirror told it's tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was ...

Qué terrible es vivir abandonado
sin tener un amor, sin ser amado
Preferible es morir crucificado
que sentir el dolor del olvidado

¡Ay! que horrible es llorar noches enteras
sin poder consolar mis primaveras
Solas, triste se irán sin el cariño
que no tuve jamás ni aún siendo niño

Si la fe y la esperanza van del brazo
yo le pido a mi Dios que tú me abraces
Porque así encontraré mi fe y mi sino
la esperanza y la luz de mi camino

Si la fe y la esperanza van del brazo
yo le pido a mi Dios que tú me abraces
Porque así encontraré mi fe y mi sino
la esperanza y la luz de mi camino

Sacred Emotion

Performer(s): Donny Osmond



There's a candle I keep in my window
and it's burning brighter tonight
Through the storm and the winds of change
I'll be sure that you can see the light
I never wandered, I never gave up
'cause a true heart never goes astray
Whatever road that you take 
will lead you back to me
'cause our love is too strong to slip away

Like a river flowing into the ocean
I can feel you coming back to me
(bring it on back) 
'Cause our love is like a sacred emotion
and it's burning bright 
for the whole world to see

It won't be long before I hear 
that knock on my door, that telephone call
And if your journey takes you far away
I'll still catch you when you fall
Love's like a wheel, turning 'round and round
the feeling fades but never dies
There'll never be any question 
or doubt in my mind
'cause the answer's right there, in your eyes

Like a river flowing into the ocean
I can feel you coming back to me
(bring it on back) 
'Cause our love is like a sacred emotion
and it's burning bright 
for the whole world to see
Bring it on back to me

Whatever road that you take 
will lead you back to me 
'cause our love is too strong to slip away

Like a river flowing into the ocean
(bring it on back to me) 
I can feel you coming back to me
(I feel you in my heart) 
'Cause our love is like a sacred emotion 
And it's burning bright 
for the whole world to see
I feel you coming back to me

Works himself to a pony shape
But he just can't get it
But he can't trust the sky
Walks quite far
But he can't make the mile
Charts his course
But he never sets sail

Jumps quite high
But he can't trust the sky
Walks quite far
But he can't make the mile
Charts his course
But he never sets sail

He would die for a Porsche
All covered up with chrome
All covered up with chrome

He would die for a Porsche
All covered up with chrome
All covered up with chrome
Works so hard
But he just can't get it

Youth all spent
On a pie in the sky
Ace is high
But the thing is to try
Lady luck
Won't you give up a smile

Jump that jump
Can trust the sky
Walk that walk
You'll reach the mile
Chart that course
Buddy let us set sail
Let us set sail

Da da da

Works himself to a pony shape
But he just cana't get it

Jump that jump
Can trust the sky
Walk that walk
Chart that course
Let us set sail

Sachez qu'en mon pays
Avec tous mes amis
De veille et de bamboche
Il faut se lever tôt
Pour avoir le droit au
Titre de roi des cloches
Boire et jouer pour deux
Aimer à qui mieux mieux
Traiter Dieu de fantoche
En réflechissant bien
Je n'en vois guère qu'un
Pour qui c'est dans la poche

Sacré Félicien
Tu mérites bien
La cloche d'airain
Sacré Félicien

Tous les soirs au poker
Paradis et enfer
Mon coeur cesse de battre
Quand tremble sa casquette
Au regard qu'il me jette
En abattant ses cartes
Si je sens aussitôt
Pousser sous mon chapeau
Des cornes qui se cachent
C'est qu'au jeu de poker
Il dit qu'il vaut mieux faire
Le boucher que la vache

Sacré Félicien
Tu mérites bien
La cloche d'airain
Sacré Félicien

Au tendre jeu d'aimer
Sa force est de flairer
L'anguille sous la roche
Peu lui chaut tout à fait
Que la belle ait le nez
En forme de galoche
Mais qu'un morceau de roi
Suivi d'un échalas
À petits pas s'approche
Il me dit aussitôt 
Ben mon pauvre jeannot
La tienne est plutôt moche

Sacré Félicien
Tu mérites bien
La cloche d'airain

Quand on va braconner
La truite et le gibier
Je guette le gendarme
S'il est petit et gros
Suant sous son chapeau
Il me dit pas d'alarme
Te casse pas la tête
Celui-là est si bête
D'après ce qu'on raconte
Que même ses collègues
Qui ne sont pas des aigles
Ont pu s'en rendre compte

Sacré Félicien
Tu mérites bien

Ho, Ho, Ho, And A Bottle Of Rhum
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Roger Guth; Pete Mayer; Russ Kunkel
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffet



Santa's stressed out as the holiday season draws near
He's been doing the same job now going on two thousand years
He's got pains in his brain and chimney scars cover his buns
He hates to admit it, but Xmas is more work than fun
He needs a vacation from bad decorations and snow
Mr. Claus has a has escape plans, a secret that only he knows
Beaches and palm trees appear night and day in his dreams
A break from his wife, half-frozen in life
The elves and that damn reindeer team
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the sun
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Plastic creations and crass exploitations aren't good
He wants to go back to simple toys made out of wood
Just for the weekend he's like to be Peter Pan
Get out of his long johns and dance with a sword in the sand
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Snata's off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's off to the Caribbean
A week in the tropics and he'll be alright
Sporting a tan as he rides out of sight
Merry Christmas to all and to all good night
