Say You, Say Me - 1985
(Spanish Version: Créeme, Ya Ves - 2008)
Composer(s): Lionel Richie
First release by: Lionel Richie - 1985



Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me 
Say it together, nat'rally

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park palyin' games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
But from behind the walls of doubt, a voice wa crying out

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me 
Say it together, nat'rally

As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
That helping hand, someone who understands
And when you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say, "I'll show you"

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me 
Say it together, nat'rally

So you think you know the answers
Oh, no. Well, the whole world's got ya dance that's right
I'm tellin' you 
It's time to start believing 
Oh, you
Believe in who you are; you are a shining star

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me 
Say it together, nat'rally

Say it together, nat'rally

Only One Night Of The Year
Composer(s): Mike Reid
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap



There's a magic light in the stars tonight
It shines with a wondrous glow
There's a whisper of love in the silence of
Gently falling snow

There's cookies and milk on the table
Ribbons on bright candy canes
And every child who is able
Has their nose to the window pane

`Cause for only one night of the year
You can see flying reindeer
And if you believe in Christmas' Eve
There's no telling who will appear

With his whiskers and pipe
He comes only one night of the year

It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls
A hints of pinewood in the air
As the church bell chimes about twelve times
I slip into my easy chair

To watch the fire die to an ember
And drift into a winter dream
Of a magical night in December
And faith in a sight unseen

And for only one night of the year
You can see flying reindeer
And if you believe in Christmas Eve
There's no telling who will appear

With his whiskers and pipe
He comes only one night of the year

Ummmm, if you believe in Christmas Eve
Raise a glass of good cheer
`Cause wish as we might
It comes only one night of the year

One Wish (For Christmas)

Performer(s): Whitney Houston



(Oooh oooh oooh oooh)
If there were no presents
Waiting on Santa's sleigh
What would I wish for Christmas
And if Frosty the Snowman
Were melting away
I would pray for hope and unity
On Christmas day
If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one
If Rudolph and his reindeer
Ran into delays
I'd still hope for joy this season
And if somehow Santa got lost on his way
I would try to find a way to smile
Smile on Christmas day
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)

Is the love Christmas brings (yeah
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah

Créeme, Ya Ves

Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Laura Escuadra Nurén
Performer(s): Rosa - 2008




Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

Alguna vez, caigo en imaginar
Tiempos sin maldad que no cuesta ayudar
Pero lo sé, sé que así no es
Lo que ves tú tan real, no es más que irrealidad

Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

Cuando una está sola entre multitud
Necesita de una voz que revive en su interior
Que llegue quien, sin más interés
Ceda toda su amistad, por nada que cambiar, sin trampas

Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

De repente alguna vez, oh no, todo es fácil y a la vez, lo mejor eres tú
Eres fuertes de por sí, ya ves, y llega un día más y vuelve a pensar

Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

One Pair Of Hands
Composer(s): Barbarita Campbell; Mann Curtis
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



One pair of hands built the mountains
One pair of hands formed the sea
And one pair of hands made the sun and the moon
Every bird every flower every tree
One pair of hands formed the valleys
The ocean the rivers and the sand
His hands are so strong so when life goes wrong
Put your faith in the one pair of hands
One pair of hands built the mountains...
One small child
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of love
One small Savior of love
One king bringing his gold and his riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life
One King bringing us life
See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life
One small Savior of life
See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall
See his tiny eyelids fall
See his tiny eyelids fall
See the shepherds
See the kings
See his mother
See his tiny eyelids fall

One More Sleep 'Til Christmas
Composer(s): Paul Williams

There's magic in the air this evening
Magic in the air
The world is at her best, you know
When people love and care
The promise of excitment is one the night will keep
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

The world has gotta smile today
The world has gotta glow
There's no such thing as strangers
When a stranger says "Hello"
And everyone is family, we're havin' so much fun
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

'Tis the season to be jolly and joyous
With a burst of pleasure we feel it all right
It's a season when the Saints can employ us
To spread the news about peace and to keep love alive
"Merry Christmas, so long!"

There's somethin' in the wind today that's good for everyone
Yes, faith is our hearts today, we're shinin' like the sun
And everyone can feel it, the feelin's runnin' deep
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas day

One Little Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
and multiple other artists



One little Christmas tree was standing alone
Waiting for someone to come by
One little Christmas tree that never had grown
Cried as he looked up to the sky
Oh please Mr Father tree, the tallest of all
I'm so afraid and alone
Could one little Christmas tree so tiny and small
Light up someone's home 'cause
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little child can find a toy
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little heart can find some joy
One little angel who was riding a star
Cried as she looked down at the tree
Oh please Mr Father tree wherever you are
May I give him the star you gave to me
Then in the heavens came a voice from afar
A voice that was heard throughout the world
Go down little angel girl and give him your star
Tonight he'll light the world 'cause
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see you on Christmas Day

If you love me please say
If you love me please say you
If you love me please say you do

She's Crazy For Leaving
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark
Performer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark; Steve Wariner



Well the bus pulled away
In a roaring black cloud
While I stood in the road
And honey I hollered right out loud

Hey darlin' I love you
Hey bus driver whoa
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

So I punched out my truck
On a telephone pole
Now she never looked back
She just said go driver go

Well I know I could have caught her
But I ran out of luck
She was long gone to Lufkin
By the time they cut me out of my truck

She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

So I kicked and I cussed
That old east Texas road
I throwed rocks at my truck
Which had busted my nose

You add insult to injury
What do you get
You get a bus stop full of honkies
That don't ever forget

She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

Tonight be mine, let me hold you tight
Tonight your lips, glisten so bright
I think your gonna be my girl

I know we're strangers, frome different places
And it doesn't seem right at all
But when I saw, your angel face
I couldn't help but call

Say you, you are, the one for me 
Say you, I'll treat you, so tenderly
Say you, oh this just, has to be
I think you're gonna be my girl

My girl

One Child, One Day
Composer(s): Gerry House; Layng Martine Jr.
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



Three wise men, a shining star
A mother and a father who had come so far
How could they know about their son
And the miracle he'd become
That he held the soul of man
In his tiny little hands
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
'Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day
A small white church, a mountainside
Cathedrals filled with music, and golden light
Oh, we gather everywhere
For the peace that's always there
For the story that is told
Of a birth so long ago
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
'Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day

Say Yes 
Composer(s): Nicholas Caldwell
Performer(s): The Whispers



Come here, let’s talk dear
There are things inside me, I want you to hear
I want to soak into to you like rain
Make love until my energy drains
And as lust erases all shame
You’ll scream my name 
Out of pleasure not pain

If you just say yes
I will do the rest

Come here, this is your hour
Like raindrops on a flower
Come bathe in my love shower
Then let me blow your body dry
Kiss the tears from your sexy eyes
And as our passion begins to rise
We’ll lay hypnotized by the pleasure inside

If you just say yes, please say yes
I’ll do the rest

Ooh, I want to build you a dream home
Made of love not just wood and stone
Give you the deed to all that I own
Give you love beyond limit
Give you babies in our image

If you just say yes
I’ll do the rest

Have you ever been kissed 
From head to toe, down your back
Around to your navel?
Well, you got that coming my sweet
And even more tricks and treats
I’m willing and able because I love you
Really, really love you
And I’m so damn proud of you baby
Say Yes
Baby please say yes!

Once Upon A Christmas
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers; Selah



Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born his palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swadding cloth a halo was his crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
Unce upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
And all the world rejoiced...

All the world rejoiced...
Unce upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem

Will There Be Any Stars?
Composer(s): John R. Sweeney; Eliza E. Hewitt
Performer(s): Alison Krauss
and multiple other artists



I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown?

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?

In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray
Let me watch as a winner of souls
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day
When His praise like the sea billow rolls

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?

O, what joy it will be when His face I behold
Living gems at his feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold
Should there be any stars in my crown

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blessed in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?

Performer(s): Petula Clark;
and various other artists



Once in royal David's city 
Stood a lowly cattle-shed 
Where a mother laid her Baby 
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy

Jesus is our childhood's pattern
Day by day like us He grew
He was little, weak, and helpless
Tears and smiles, like us, He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth in our gladness 

And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love
For that Child so dear and gentle 
Is our Lord in heav'n above
And He leads His children on 
To the place where He is goneOnce in royal David's city

Performer(s): Jesse Winchester



Hey girl say hey
Say what a watcha say
Hey girl say hey
Say what

The latest news is somewhat depressing
The latest figures are a li'l bit distressing
So what you say can we let it slide for a day darlin'
What you say

I get the word from Arthur my broker
He says "sell it all son and stick to poker"
So what you say if we let it slide for a day darlin'
What you say

What's the big rush
What's the big hurry
We've all the time in the world for the worry
We'll tell the world that we'll meet 'em on Sunday
Then we don't show up until Monday, alright

I don't sweat it that much as a rule
But lately it's been rough keeping cool
So hey what you say if we let it slide for a day darlin'
What you say

The daily grind is getting me frantic
'Cause I see myself as a laid-back romantic
So hey what you say if we let it slide for a day girl
Oh what you say

On This Day
Composer(s): Michael Patrick Heeney; David Scarlett
Performer(s): Reba McEntire; Omaha



The kids were up before dawn this morning
Right to the Christmas tree they ran
Called up the stairs for us to hurry
Wait for this day for about as long as they could stand

While trading presents the little one asks me
Why do we have Christmas each year
I said long ago a child was born this day
He's a gift more precious then all you see here

'Cause on this day
A child was born
In the town of Bethlehem
And on this day
God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill
To all men
Oh on this day we call Christmas
We honor his name
On this day 
We recall all the reasons he came
On this day
On this day

Grandma and Grandpa arrived after breakfast
The rest of the gang by noon
We spent the day watching football and breaking in toys
Helping out in the kitchen 
Catching up on old news

When the dinner bell rang
We all took our places
Grandpa said who wants to say grace
Before anyone else could utter a word
Oh the little one bowed her head
And she started to say

'Cause on this day
A child was born
In the town of Bethlehem
And on this day
God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill
To all men
Oh on this day we call Christmas
We honor his name
On this day 
We recall all the reasons he came
On this day
On this day

Oh on this day we call Christmas
We honor his name
On this day 
We recall all the reasons he came
On this day
On this day

Say That We're Sweethearts Again
Composer(s): Brent
Performer(s): Dorothy Shay



Life used to be a gay thing
A filled with happiness, night and day thing
It was something to have and to hold
But it seems that your love grew cold

I never knew that our romance had ended
Until you poisoned my food
And I thought it was a lie
When you kicked me in the pie
But now I think it was rude

I never knew that our romance had finished
Until that bottle hit my head
Though I tried to be aloof
When you pushed me off the roof
I feel our romance is dead

It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd told me
That someone had taken my place
But no, you didn't even scold me
You just tried to disfigure my face

You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking
It looks so helpless, but then
Life used to be so classic
Won't you please put back that acid
And say that w're sweethearts again

Oh, how well I remember
That night in Bridgeport
That was the night you gave me the hotfoot
I thought that there was sort of a strange look in your eyes
But you smiled, and well, it made everything alright
Then there was the time we went canoeing
And you set fire to my dress
You said you pushed me overboard to put out the flame
But I never quite understood why you held me under water so long
Now, I've never met this girl who's taking my place
But I wish you all the happiness in the world
And if there's anything I can do
You know you can always reach me in room number 304
In the General Hospital
Farewell, my sweet

You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking
It looks so helpless, but then
My love can go just so far
Won't you please put down that crow bar
And say that we're sweethearts again

On Christmas Morning
Composer(s): David Foster; Kenny Loggins
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins; Michael McDonald



Ol' December's here at last
Time for celebration
Christmas present, Christmas past
Tumble down together like the snow
What a show
Now the snowman Karen made
Is melting by the roadside
On the wind a serenade
Of children's voices singing I believe
I believe in love, I believe

On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
All the memories
Coming back again this year

Sentimental melodies
Surround me like an old friend
Spent a winter here with me
Silently we watched the seasons change
And they change so fast
Fade away

On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
All the memories will always take me back
Hold me back in time

On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
Oh, the memories will always take me back in time
To Christmas morning
On Christmas morning
