Sail Away
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; David Coverdale
Performer(s): Deep Purple



If you're driftin' on an empty ocean 
with no wind to fill your sail
the future, your horizon
it's like searchin' for the Holy Grail
You feel there's no tomorrow 
as you look into the water below
It's only your reflection 
and you still ain't got no place to go

Time will show
when, I don't know

Sail away tomorrow 
sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
I'll be there someday 

Oh, woman, I keep returnin' 
to sing the same old song
The story's been told, now I'm gettin' old
Tell me,where do I belong? 
Feel like I'm goin' to surrender
nard times I've had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe, I could get back up

Time will show 
when, I don't know

Sail away tomorrow 
sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday 

Sail away tomorrow
sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday 

Sail away tomorrow
sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday

Sail along, silvery moon
Trail along lovers’ lane
Sail along, silvery moon
To my love again

In the glow of your light
Let me see her tonight
Once again, hold her tight
Back in lovers’ lane

And then the whole world will seem brighter
As we stroll hand in hand
Two blue hearts will seem lighter
If you understand.

Sail along, silvery moon
Trail along lovers’ lane
Sail along, silvery moon
To my love again

Sail along, silvery moon
Trail along lovers’ lane
Sail along, silvery moon
To my love again

Sharon
Composer(s): David Bromberg
First release by: David Bromberg - 1972



Went to this carnival, three years ago
No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ole' stuff you know
There was a man outside with a speech outside a tent
And he said it to me, and this is how it went

Folks, you know she walks, she talks
She crawls on her belly like a reptile
Same ole' line except one part
You don't need no money, boy, you pay with your heart

Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again

Wandered around, and looked around for a seat
The light went low, and the band played a beat
Out came this girl, wearing a scarf and sleeves
Did a little dance that made me weak in the knees
That girl, she danced like her back had no bone
The band played a tune called the Main Street Moan

She smiled a smile the whole world could see
She turned around, and she looked right at me
I must have jumped six feet in the air
And when I came down, that girl wasn't there

Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again

Out came this guy with a big ole' beard
And furry arms, man he looked like a bear
He said that all there is, there's no more to the show
If you wanna breathe right, I think you better go
I didn't think twice, headed straight for the door
And when I left, I heard that big bear roar

Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again

Every time that carnival came, I was right there
Lord, I learned to stay away from that mean ole' bear
Just like the man said from his speech at the start
When that carnival left town it took a piece of my heart
I still get this funny feeling way down in my bones
Whenever I hear a band play the Main Street Moan

Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again

Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again

You are so much cool one, I don't worry about a thing 
You are pushin' full of lovin' that makes my heart sing

You're the kind of girl I can find giving my birds & I say 

Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody 
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul 
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody 
But I, oh I, oh I, I couldn't keep it to myself 

Baby I'm so proud I'm really gonna scream out loud

Just one look in your eyes can make a young man cry 
Said I couldn't advertise, but baby you apologize 

Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody 
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul 
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody 
But I, oh I, oh I, I couldn't keep it to myself 

Look, your love is harder than the hardest rock 
Ooo it's shocking like electric wire, yeah yeah 

Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody 
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul 
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody 
But I, oh I, oh I, I couldn't keep it to myself ...

Said I Love You ... But I Lied
Composer(s): Michael Bolton; Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Performer(s): Michael Bolton; Kilauea



You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Til the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you...But I lied

Sahara (We'll Soon Be Dry Like You)
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Jean Schwartz
Performer(s): Esther Walker



King Ram-e-ses went to pieces seven thousand years ago
And passed a law that Egypt must go dry
He took the liquors from the slickers all the way to Jerico
But kept a little toddy on the sly
The desert of Sahara flowed with honey, so they say
Till prohibition came along and dried it up one day

Sahara, we sympathize with you
Sahara, now we're dry like you
I know why Cleopatra put that snake against her skin
She lost her mind completely when she lost her Gordon's Gin
Omar Khyam took a leap into his caravan
He took his wine glass, and away he flew
And ever since
All those Egyptians move their funny arms so queer
They got that way
From reaching for imaginary steins of beer
Sahara, Sahara, now we're dry like you

I know just why Rebecca took her little pitcher to the well
That old well just was camouflaging for a lager beer hotel
Sahara, Sahara, now we're dry like you
I've got the old Sahara prohibition blues

I Never Spend A Christmas That I Don't Think Of You
Composer(s): Don Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



The year you were snow queen 
at the high school Christmas ball
The night we got snowed in and prayed it wouldn't thaw
The year I bought your bracelet and you bought me one too
I never spend a Christmas that I don't think of you

The year I helped your Daddy trim the outdoor tree with lights
You worked part time at Penney's and I took you home at night
The Christmas Eve you told me you loved me and I knew
I'd never spend a Christmas I wouldn't think of you

The night you planned the party to decorate the tree
It snowed so hard no one could come, no one but you and me
The year the senior class sold Christmas trees and mistletoe
And we never thought that someday this would seem so long ago
The Christmas Eve I told you I love you, well I do
And I never spend a Christmas that I don't think of you
I'll never spend a Christmas I won't be loving you

Saginaw Michigan
Composer(s): Bill Anderson; Don Wayne
First release by: Lefty Frizzell - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



I was born in Saginaw Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay

I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand

Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in this frozen ground so cold
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan

I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
I said, "Honey I'm a-coming home, please wait for me
And you can tell your dad I'm coming home a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondike history"

Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said, "Son, you wild young ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim"

Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool is a-looking for the gold I never found
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan

I Never Knew The Meaning Of Christmas
Composer(s): Evan Rogers; Carl Sturken
Performer(s): *NSync



Fa la la, la la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
Looking back on childhood days
I can't believe my foolish ways
Thought that Christmas only came from a store
Had to know what was there for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
I didn't know that there could be so much more
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Coming home for the holidays
Seeing friends from around the way
There was always something missing for me
All the sleigh rides, caroling
Didn't really mean anything
Without that someone who can make it complete
All the snow's falling down
There is joy all around
'Cause, girl, your love has shown me the way
And I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
(Singing la, la la la, la la la la)
La la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
(Singing la, la la la, la la la la)
Fa la la la
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Never knew, never knew, never knew, knew, knew)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes

Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu



Ils vivaient d'air du large et de soleil
Dans l'île bleue bénie des dieux
Je suis venue lui prendre un peu de ciel
Je suis passée on s'est aimés

Sagapo dis-moi "je t'aime"
Nous avons si peu de temps
Pour un si grand amour
Sagapo c'est un long poème
Pour un petit mot sans illusion
Et sans retour

On s'endormait dans les couleurs du soir
On s'éveillait pour s'épouser
Nos cœurs battaient au rythme des guitares
Et on chantait sans y penser
{au Refrain}

Va-t-il se taire
Ce vent d'hiver
Qui dit que tu
N'existes plus

Sagapo dis-moi "je t'aime"
Nous avons si peu de temps
Pour un si grand amour
Sagapo c'est un long poème
Pour un petit mot sans illusion
Et sans retour

Pour un petit mot sans illusion
Et sans retour

Ooh baby

Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day

It was a cold and snowy night
I can still remember
Gazing at the stars and the moonlight
Fell asleep on the sofa bed
Dreams of Christmas in my head
I awoke to my surprise
There he was right before my eyes

Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day

I was stuffing the stockings
And hanging tinsel on the tree
When i heard a knocking
I opened the door in time to see
Carrolers and silver bells
I saw his face that's when i fell
He was there bent on one knee
Santa sent him just for me

Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day

Yeah yeah

I know this love will grow
When flowers bloom in early spring
I'll be his bride, I'll wear his ring

If you're looking for a angel who
Is gonna make your every dream come true
Just write an letter saying Santa hey
I need an angel next Christmas day

Yeah ooh baby, oh oh

Listen up to what I gotta say, babe

Chapel bells are gonna ring n' ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day

Chapel bells are gonna ring, chapel bells are gonna ring
I met an angel on christmas day

True love and it's all day
I met an angel on christmas day

I Like Life
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Stratford Johns



The Ghost of Christmas Present (G) and Scrooge (S)
(G)
Ebenezer Scrooge, the sins of man are huge!
A never-ending symphony of villainy and infamy
duplicity, deceit and subterfuge
And no one's worse than Ebenezer Scrooge!
Though man's a handy candidate for Hell
I must admit life sometimes has
its brighter side as well!
I like life! Life likes me!
Life and I fairly fully agree
Life is fine! Life is good!
'Specially mine which is just as it should be!
I like pouring the wine and why not?
Life's a pleasure that I deny not
I like life here and now
Life and I made a mutual vow
Till I die, life and I
We'll both try to be better somehow
And if life were a woman she would be my wife
(S) Why?
(G) Why? Because I like life!
(S) That's all very well for you but not for me
I hate life
(G) Scrooge, you're an even bigger fool than I took you for!
Now you listen to me
I like life
Well, go on!
(S) I like life
(G) That's better!
Life likes me
(S) Life likes me
(G) Good! Good!
I make life a perpetual spree
(S) Perpetual spree
(G) Eating food
(S) Drinking wine
Thinking who'd like the privilege to dine me
I like drinking the drink I'm drinking
(G) That's better, Scrooge!
I like thinking the thoughts I'm thinking
I like songs, I like dance
I hear music and I'm in a trance
(S) Tra la la!
(G) Oompapah!
(both) Chances are we shall get up and prance
(G) Where there's music and laughter happiness is rife
(S) Why?
(G) Why? Because I like life!
(both) Where there's music and laughter happiness is rife
Why? Because I like life
See how much we like life!

I Know What I Want For Christmas
Composer(s): Charlie Black; Dana Hunt
Performer(s): George Strait



This the season for generosity
A time to give and to receive
My Christmas list consists of just one sweet dream....

I know what I want for Christmas this year
I hope my note got to Santa on time
I’m a little bit nervous,
It’s kind of a big thing I’m asking for
I don’t know if I deserve it but, boy, if I get it
I’ll never ask for anything more
It shines, it’s new
And it’s the one wish that I wish would come true
This year for Christmas I just wanna be with you

We can build a little fire
We can sit and talk for hours
We’ll just have fun
You can tell me what you did
Christmas morning as a kid
And we’ll talk about all our Christmases to come

And if I hang a little mistletoe in every single doorway
I’m sure to get a kiss
And is it too much to ask for a snowman kind of snow
To complete this singular wish?
It shines, it’s new
I know what I want and nothin’ else will do
This year for Christmas I just want to be with you

This year for Christmas I just want to be with you

Sag mir wo - sag mir wo

die wie klare Spiegel scheinen

glänzt das Sonnenlicht auf unbewohnten Steinen
Sag
wo gibt es noch das letzte paradies?
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
gibt es Menschen
die nicht nur nach Reichtum streben?
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
gibt es Menschen
die noch frei und glücklich leben?
Sag mir wo - gibt es Mädchen

die sich für ein ganzes Leben lang verlieben?
Wo sind alle diese Wunder denn geblieben?
Sag
wo gibt es noch ein letztes paradies?

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte;
and various other artists



I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar Carols play
And wide and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth good will to man

I thought as now this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rung so long the unbroken song
Of peace on earth good will to man

And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and marks the song
Of peace on earth good will to man

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does he sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth good will to man
