Save This Dance For Me Composer(s): David Gates Performer(s): David Gates
I'll never forget That look in your eyes The first time I held you And we realized Something so special Was growing inside Feelings so deep Not easy to hide We talked of forever And how we would wait But the band started playing Now am I to late
Won't you save this dance for me And I will lead for you God has gave me one last chance Before my life is through And in your arms when the music stops Is where I want to be So tell him no And save this dance for me
No ones been able To hurt me before And I'll never love Like this anymore If there's no one else Like you in this world So much a woman But I call you girl I don't mean to doubt you But still I could lose I can't live without you So please will you choose
Won't you save this dance for me And I will lead for you God has gave me one last chance Before my life is through And in your arms when the music stops Is where I want to be So please be brave And save this dance for me
Nothing But A Child Composer(s): Steve Earle Performer(s): Steve Earle; and various other artists
Once upon a time in a far off land Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light
They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west Across the mountains far, but when they came to rest They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles And this miracle they prized was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child could wash those tears away Or guide a weary world into the light of day And nothing but a child could help erase those miles So once again we all can be children for a while
Now all around the world, in every little town Everyday is heard a precious little sound And every mother kind and every father proud Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed
Nothing but a child could wash those tears away Or guide a weary world into the light of day And nothing but a child could help erase those miles So once again we all can be children for a while

You can dance Every dance with the guy Who gives you the eye Let him hold you tight You can smile Every smile for the man Who held your hand Beneath the pale moonlight But don't forget who's taking you home And in whose arms you're gonna be So darlin', save the last dance for me
Oh, I know That the musics fine Like sparkling wine Go and have your fun Laugh and sing But while we're apart Don't give your heart to anyone And don't forget who's taking you home And in whose arms you're gonna be So darlin', save the last dance for me
Baby don't you know I love you so Can't you feel it when we touch I will never never let you go I love you oh so much
You can dance Go and carry on Till the night is gone And it's time to go If he asks If you're all alone Can he take you home You must tell him no 'Cause don't forget who's taking you home And in whose arm's you're gonna be So darlin' save the last dance for me
Noel: Christmas Eve, 1913 Composer(s): Robert Bridges; Lee Holdridge Performer(s): John Denver; BBC Welsh Chorus; The Muppets
A frosty Christmas Eve, when the stars where shining I traveled for the home, where westward falls the hill And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley Distant music reached me, peels of bells were ringing
Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmasses When shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields And they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell Whether it were angels or the bright stars a-singing
But to me heard afar, it was starry music The singing of the angels, the comfort of our Lord Words of old that come a-traveling by the riches of the times And I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill And I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill

Puoi ballar puoi ballar con chi vuoi che tanto tu non mi scorderai e riderai però sai una spina in cuore questa sera avrai Ricorda che se vuoi tu potrai tornare a sorridere uh uh amore lascia l'ultimo ballo per me Ed io lo so che la musica non asciugherà le tue lacrime e ballerai e poi capirai che quel che fai è inutile Ricorda che se vuoi tu potrai tornare a sorridere eh eh amore lascia l'ultimo ballo per me
Stai ballando fra le nuvole verso me non guardi mai con intorno tanti angeli uh ballare non potrai, non potrai, non potrai Ma puoi ballar puoi ballar con lui se tu vuoi, con altri, lo sai, ma non servirà Quel che vuoi non è ridere, non è certo sai la tua libertà Ricorda che se vuoi tu potrai tornare a sorridere eh eh amore lascia l'ultimo ballo per me

Save The Country Composer(s): Laura Nyro First release by: Laura Nyro - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Come on people Come on children Come on down to the glory river Gonna wash you up And down Come on people Come on children There's a king at the glory river And the king loved to sing In the sun - "We shall overcome"
I got fury in my soul Fury's gonna take me To the glory goal In my mind I can't study war no more Save the people Save the children Save the country
In my mind I can't study war In my mind I can't study war There'll be trains of blossoms There'll be trains of music There'll be music...
Noël Sous Les Tropiques Composer(s): A. Canfora; Guy Bertret; Chr. Jollet Performer(s): Tino Rossi
C'est Noël, c'est Noël
Allongé sur le sable d'or Que la mer vient broder Dans le bleu d'un ciel de décor Je me suis éveillé Loin, très loin de mon beau pays Que décembre blanchit Je suis là dans ce paradis Seul, tout seul sans amis
Noël des tropiques, malgré ton soleil Noël des tropiques, tu n'es pas un vrai Noël
Je revois mes Noël d'antan Où dansaient devant moi La maison sous son manteau blanc Le sapin plein de joie Mais ici les petits enfants N'ont pas de cheminée Pour pouvoir y poser devant Ce soir-là leurs souliers
Noël des tropiques, avec ton soleil Noël des tropiques, tu n'es pas un vrai Noël
On m'a dit que Papa Noël Ne serait jamais noir Et pourtant là-haut vers le ciel Monte le même espoir Cette nuit au-dessus de moi Une étoile a brillé C'est la même que tout là-bas Ton cur a regardé
Noël des tropiques, malgré ton soleil Noël des tropiques, tu es quand même Noël
Save The Children Composer(s): Marvin Gaye; Alfred W. Cleveland; Renaldo Benson First release by: Marvin Gaye - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
I just want to ask a question Who really cares? To save a world A world in despair Who cares?
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singing And flowers won't grow, no, bells won't be ringin' But who cares? Who really cares? Who's willing to try to save the world That is destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow Little children today really suffer tomorrow Oh what a shame, what a sad way to live All who is to blame, when we can't stop livin'
You gotta live, live for life But let live everybody Live life for the children Oh, for the children You see, we have to save the babies Save the babies Save the babies, save the babies If you wanna love, save the babies
Noël Perdu Composer(s): J. Demarny; P. Lemaître Performer(s): Gérard Lenorman
Devant le sapin de rêve Que j'achève De garnir de ses jouets Je pense à l'enfant que j'aime Et j'espère bien le voir enfin Sa mère et moi Nous sommes Séparés Depuis deux mois Pour toutes ces choses qu'un enfant Ne sait pas
Il ne viendra pas Et pourtant comme il doit y penser Dans quelle cheminée Va-t-il trouver De quoi rêver Il ne viendra pas Et pourtant le ciel est dans la rue Ce soir c'est Noël C'est un Noël que j'ai perdu
Dans la grande maison vide J'illumine le décor comme l'an passé Mais caché dans le silence Je n'entends pas ses cris de joie Je donnerais ma vie Pour le voir là devant moi Tout heureux de me serrer Dans ses bras
Il ne viendra pas Il a du pourtant lui demander Qu'a-t-elle pu lui dire Pour l'endormir Lui expliquer Il ne viendra pas Mon enfant mon amour défendu Ce soir c'est Noël C'est un Noël que j'ai perdu
Save The Bones For Henry Jones
Composer(s): Danny Barker; Michael H. Goldsen
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
Were gonna have a supper
Well eat some food thats rare
And at the head of the table
Well place brother Henrys chair
Invite all the local big dogs
Well laugh and talk and eat
But well save the bones for Henry Jones
Cause Henry dont eat no meat
Today Ill go to market
Buy up a lotta fish
Well, that will thrill brother Henry
Cause fish is his special dish
Get a large can of molasses
Have something really sweet
But well save the bones for Henry Jones
Cause Henry dont eat no meat
Henry is not a drinker
He rarely takes a nip
He dont need a napkin
Cause the things he eats dont drip blip!
One day we had a banquet
It really was a bake
They started off with short ribs
Then finished off with steak
But when the feast was over
Brother Henry just kept his seat
And we served the bones to Henry Jones
Cause Henry dont eat no meat
Our banquet was most proper
Right down to demitasse
From soup to lox and bagels
And pheasant under glass class!
We thought the chops were mellow
He said his chops were beat reet!
We served the bones to Henry Jones
Cause Henry dont eat no meat
Hes an egg man
Henry dont eat no meat
He loves a pullet
Henry dont eat no meat
A vegetarian
Henry?
Coming mother!
Soups on
Pour la Noël venue Nous faudrait des lumières Nous faudrait des prières Mais nous ne savons plus Ne savons plus les dire Ne savons plus sourire Pour les Noëls d'antan Nous n'avons plus le temps
Noël nouvelet Vous risquez d'être bien laid
Pour la Noël qui vient Nous faudrait des guirlandes Nous les faudrait bien grandes Avec un beau sapin Mais les sapins jaunissent Et les guirlandes glissent Pour nos Noëls d'enfants Nous sommes bien trop grands
Noël nouvelet Vous risquez d'être bien laid
Pour la Noël dorée Faudrait qu'on recommence Avec nos yeux d'enfance Et nos deux poings serrés Sur un bout de chandelle De papier de ficelle Sur nos secrets d'un franc Qu'on n'gardait pas longtemps
Noël nouvelet Vous ne seriez pas si laid
Pour la Noël ce soir Si l'étoile s'attarde Quand bien je te regarde Il ne fait pas si noir Tant pis pour les lumières Tant pis pour les prières Noël pouvez sonner Un grand amour est né

Noël N'est Pas Au Magasin Composer(s): Anne Sylvestre Performer(s): Anne Sylvestre
Je voudrais bien faire plaisir Je voudrais être riche Pour acheter et pour offrir Ce qui est sur les affiches Tout ce que d'autres ont fabriqué Mais je n'ai que trois sous légers Comment faire quand même Cadeau à ceux que j'aime
Noël n'est pas au magasin Mais dans mon cur et dans mes mains Et si j'en prends la peine Ma tête est toute pleine De ce que j'offrirai demain Noël n'est pas au magasin
Avec du papier des ciseaux Des crayons de la colle Je ferai naître des oiseaux Qui chantent et qui s'envolent Avec quatre bouts de tissu Des rubans des boutons perdus Du coton bleu ou rose J'inventerai des choses
Quand j'aurai fabriqué des fleurs Des lampions des images Dans un grand morceau de bonheur Je ferai 'emballage Et pour me ficeler tout ça Un grand sourire suffira Mon cadeau est à prendre Voyez comme il est tendre
Sauve moi je m'enroule au fil du temps J'ai le passe au présent je coule sauve-moi J'ai l'hiver au fond de moi Ton absence au fond des doigts J'en crève sauve-moi
J'ai le ciel a mes pieds et je vais m'y noyer Si je dois t'oublier
Save me save me Smile away this endless night Save me save me Give my days your loving light Save me save me
Save moi je suis cloue au remords Comme ton ombre a mon corps Save moi mes soleils sont moribonds Il fait nuit dans ma raison Je m'éteins sauve-moi
Je meurs au ralenti sur l'écran infini À coté de la vie
Save me save me Smile away this endless night Save me save me Give my days your loving light
Noël Interdit Composer(s): Michael Mallory; Johnny Hallyday Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
C'est un Noël pour les enfants perdus Pour tous ceux qui n'y ont jamais cru C'est un Noël pour les chiens sans collier Pour ce gosse de la rue que j'étais
Noël de ma vie mon Noël interdit J'aurais tant aimé croire à l'histoire Mais mon cur d'enfant était déjà trop grand Et mes rêves emportés par le vent
C'est un Noël pour mes premiers copains Oubliés au hasard des mauvais chemins Une chanson pour ceux dont l'horizon Est le mur sombre et gris des prisons
Noël de la nuit mon Noël interdit Je voudrais l'oublier avec toi Auprès de ce feu qui brille dans tes yeux Je veux être un enfant heureux
C'est mon Noël le premier de ma vie Où le rêve ne m'est plus interdit
Save It, Pretty Mama Composer(s): Don Redman; Paul Denniker; Joseph Davis Performer(s): Don Redman and multiple other artists
Save it, pretty Mama Save it day by day Don't you dare give none away Oh, let it pile up, Mama And when you say I'll come around, dear Spend the day I've a brand of lovin' Can't be beat My way of huggin' Is sure a treat I know that we can agree So save it, pretty Mama Save it all for me!
Oublier les frontières Dépasser nos querelles Ce soir nous rassemble Refuser d'être seul Revenir à l'enfance Et pouvoir rêver D'un sapin qui touche le ciel De former une guirlande Et quand tout n'est qu'étincelle Qu'une étoile nous attende
A la lumière du jour Et contre le silence Qui nous entoure Laisser faire la magie Des flocons de lumière Et les regards remplis de soleil Quand les nuits se ressemblent D'un mot une prière Faire que nos mains se tendent
