Oh Sankofa, high on the Heavens you soar My soul is soon to follow you, back to yesterday's moon will it remember me? Back to yesterday's sun, It will rekindle me Rekindle the spirit into tomorrow and high on the wind Sankofa flies again and again

Looking For Christmas Composer(s): Clint Black Performer(s): Clint Black
Im looking for christmas, Ive gotta find Christmas, flying back in my mind Does anyone know of this christmas, a long ago christmas Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing Only bringing the long traveled message of love
Im looking for christmas, in time for this Christmas, a day far and away And could a star show me christmas, The town of old christmas Where truth is ringing, a virgins Bringing the newborn king and the Lords own messiah of love
And I close my eyes and Im kneeling there in the stall, And could I be the wine man, sharing his wisdom, Creating a kingdom for all
Im looking for christmas, I know Ill find christmas Imparted right from the start And everyone knows of this christmas The very first christmas Where christ is guiding, all with tidings Still his light is residing here in us all
And I close my eyes, and a thousand lifetimes recall Arent we all wise magi, sharing his wisdom, Creating a kingdom As born on this christmas and each christmas day We are sharing his wisdom creating a kingdom As born on this christmas and each Christmas day that shall fall
Sanguine Composer(s): Jacques Prévert; Henri Crolla Yves Montand; Bob Castella; Jacques Prévert
La fermeture éclair a glissé sur tes reins Et tout l'orage heureux de ton corps amoureux Au beau milieu de l'ombre a éclaté soudain Et ta robe en tombant sur le parquet ciré N'a pas fait plus de bruit Qu'une écorce d'orange Tombant sur un tapis Mais sous nos pieds Ces petits boutons de nacre Craquaient comme des pépins Ô Sanguine joli fruit! La pointe de ton sein A tracé tendrement La ligne de ma chance Dans le creux de ma main. Sanguine, joli fruit Soleil de nuit
Lonely This Christmas Composer(s): N. Chinn; M. Chapman Performer(s): Mud
Try to imagine a house that's not a home Try to imagine a christmas all alone That's where I'll be Since you left me
My tears would melt the snow What can I do Without you I've got no place, no place to go
It'll be lonely this christmas Without you to hold It'll be lonely this christmas Lonely and cold It'll be cold so cold Without you to hold This christmas
Each time I remember the day you went away And how I would listen to things you have to say I just break down, as I look around And the only things I see Are emptiness and loneliness And an unlit christmas Tree
It'll be lonely this christmas Without you to hold It'll be lonely this christmas Lonely and cold It'll be cold so cold Without you to hold This christmas
You remember last year, when you and I were together We never thought there'd be an end And I remember looking at you then And I remember thinking that christmas must have been made for us Cause darlin' this is the time that you really need love When it means so very very much
It'll be lonely this christmas Without you to hold It'll be lonely this christmas Lonely and cold It'll be cold so cold Without you to hold This christmas
Sangue E Pudins Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Abel Silva Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Não quero saber quem sou Morro de medo Nem quero saber aonde vou É muito cedo Talvez se eu arrancasse De minha língua o sinal Talvez se eu inventasse O juízo final Talvez se eu prometesse Sangue e pudins Ou se eu costurasse A roupa dos querubins
Mas o que eu quero saber É o que apronta Esse lado do teu rosto E o que faz o sossego morar No que está posto Não guardo segredo Mas sou bem secreto É que eu mesmo não acho A chave de mim
När ödet gjorde slut på sagan Grät jag som alla andra barn Nattens stjärna lyste svag Ingen morgondag för evigt
Jag gömde mig i sorg och klagan Tills nån slog an en välkänd ton I en sång jag gav till dig Så kommer du till mig som förut
Sången föder dig tillbaka Minnen slår ut i blom Jag ser en kort sekund ditt leende Ett ljus när världen känns tom. Sången föder dig tillbaka Och allt vi gav varann Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder Av tider som försvann
Varm vänskap ger oss ljuva minnen Dom som blir kvar går mest i dur Formar sig till harmoni Och blir en symfoni av tankar
Sången föder dig tillbaka Minnen slår ut i blom Jag ser en kort sekund ditt leende Ett ljus när världen känns tom. Sången föder dig tillbaka Och allt vi gav varann Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder Av tider som försvann
Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder Av tider som försvann
Sang Pour Sang Composer(s): Eric Chemouny; David Hallyday Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'ai pas toujours trouvé les mots Pour bercer tes rêves d'enfant Ensemble on est devenu grand
De bons points en double zéro Paralysés par tant d'amour On s'apprivoise au jour le jour
J'ai jamais su trouver les gestes Qui pouvaient soigner tes blessures Guider tes pas vers le futur
À tous les signaux de détresse Dis, comment j'aurais pu faire face Pris entre le feu et la glace
Au delà de nos différences Des coups de gueule des coups de sang À force d'échanger nos silences Maintenant qu'on est face à face On se ressemble sang pour sang
Comme si les battements de nos curs Etaient sûr la même longueur d'ondes Les lignes de nos mains se confondent
Tu me renvoies comme un miroir Mes doutes et mes éclats de rires La promesse d'un autre avenir
Peu importe si la vie menace Ce qui reste en nous d'innocent Puisqu'on se comprend à présent
Peu à peu la douleur s'efface On en garde plus qu'une trace Comme une offense au temps qui passe
Au-delà de nos différences Des coups de gueule des coups de sang A force d'échanger nos silences Maintenant qu'on est face à face On se ressemble sang pour sang
Au-delà de nos différences A force d'échanger nos silences Maintenant qu'on est face à face On se ressemble sang pour sang
Tous les deux sang pour sang Tout les deux sang pour sang Oui, sang pour sang

Little toy trains, little toy tracks Little toy drums, comin' from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed
Close your eyes, listen to the skies All is calm, all is well Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells
Bringin' little toy trains and little toy tracks Little toy drums, comin' from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed
So, close your eyes and listen to the skies All is calm, all is well Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells
Bringin' little toy trains and little toy tracks Little toy drums, comin' from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed
Hey, girl, with sunlight in your hair (wo-o-o-oh) It hurts me so to see you standing there (wo-o-o-oh) O-O-Oh Sandy, you laugh and run away You just don't care
Your kiss was warmer than the sun (wo-o-o-oh) And I can't forget all the things we've done (wo-o-o-oh) O-0-Oh Sandy, do you remember when I was the one?
You've been around since That new boy who found you Took you uptown So far from me
But someday, you're good times will be through (wo-o-o-oh) And I know just what you're gonna do (wo-o-o-oh) You'll come back, Sandy; you know I'll still be here Waiting for you
Little Sandy Sleighfoot Composer(s): Jim Savarino Crane Performer(s): Jimmy Dean
His name is Sandy Sleighfoot And oh so sad was he For though he stood just 4 feet tall His feet were 3 feet 3 He tried to help make Santa's toys But with his feet so long He'd trip and fall and break them all Just every thing went wrong
Now little Sandy Sleighfoot Don't you feel so blue Even with your feet so long God has a place for you The other kids made fun of him They laughed at him with glee
But Sandy Sleighfoot learned one day Without skis he could ski So when the night 'fore Christmas Eve The reindeer stable burned He skied down hill and saved the deer By remembering what he'd learned
Now everybody loves him And Santa Loves him, too And ever since on Christmas eve He's helped bring gifts to you
Sandy Composer(s): Terry Fell Performer(s): Larry Hall
Sandy, Sandy Took every sweet thing like sugar and spice Ice cream and candy, everything nice They put it together, they gave it a name Sandy, Sandy, I'm a fool for Sandy
Her eyes are like heaven, her lips are devine Young love is tender, gentle and kind And everywhere I go, there you will find Sandy, Sandy, I'm a fool for Sandy
Took every sweet thing like sugar and spice Ice cream and candy, everything nice They put it together, they gave it a name Oh Sandy, Sandy, I'm a fool for Sandy Sandy, Sandy, Sandy Sandy, Sandy

She's a great little housewife Though sometimes she talks like a fool But she helps at the store in the holiday rush And she picks up the kids after school And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home And she changes from mother to wife 'Til she feels the words hanging between them And she hangs by her words to her life
She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids I wanted to be like my mother But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did Oh there might have been time to be me For myself, for myself There's so many things that she wishes She don't even know what she's missing And that's how she knows that she missed
She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody It's hard to get through to her then Depressed for a while when the youngest was born Oh but that happens now and again She might take a drink with the housework Or when Michael's kept late at the shop A Martini or two before dinner But she always knows when to stop
She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids You know I wanted to be like my mother But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did Oh there might have been time to be me For myself, for myself There's so many things that she wishes She don't even know what she's missing And that's how she knows that she missed
Oh they used to hold hands at the movies Now it's seldom if ever they go Once you've paid for the sitter and parking the car There's no money left for the show She was doing the dishes When a glass fell and broke on the tile And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake) It was real touch and go for a while
She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids You know I wanted to be like my, my mother But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did Oh there might have been time to be me For myself, for myself There's so many things that she wishes She don't even know what she's missing And that's how she knows that she missed
