Sea Of Heartbreak (Danish Version: To Blå Øjne - 1969) Composer(s): Paul Hamilton; Hal David First release by: Don Gibson - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
The lights in the harbour, don't shine for me I'm like a lost ship, adrift on the sea
The sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on this sea of tears Sea of heartbreak
How did I lose you? Oh, where did I fail? Why did you leave me? Always to sail
This sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on this sea of tears Sea of heartbreak
Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore Back to your arms once more Come to my rescue Come here to me Take me and keep me Away from the sea
The sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on the sea of tears Sea of heartbreak Sea of heartbreak Sea of heartbreak
Snoopy's Christmas
Composer(s): Luigi Creatore; Hugo Peretti; George David Weiss
Performer(s): The Royal Guardsmen; Mike Andes
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum [Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree] du kannst mir sehr gefallen! [Of all the trees most lovely]
The news had come out in the First World War The bloody Red Baron was flying once more The Allied command ignored all of its men And called on Snoopy to do it again
Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below When Snoopy went up in search of his foe He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ring out from the land Asking peace of all the world And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know Or was it the bells from the village below
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine And forced him to land behind the enemy lines Snoopy was certain that this was the end When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"
The Baron then offered a holiday toast And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host And then with a roar they were both on their way Each knowing they'd meet on some other day
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man

All The Way From America Composer(s): Joan Armatrading Performer(s): Joan Armatrading
You called all the way from America and said "Hang on to love, Girl" But the weeks and the months and the tears passed by And my eyes couldn't stand the strain Of that promised love All the way from America
You called all the way from America and said "I'll soon be home, Girl" But the years and the tears and the fears passed by And my heart couldn't stand the pain Of that promised love All the way from America All the way from America
I stayed all alone and I waited `round For you to knock at my door But the knock never came, and no ring at all And now I sit and wonder why You made that first call All the way from America
I don't believe I'll stay here I don't think I want to wait here anymore And if you search for me, Baby Better bring some more love Than you declared All the way from America

On va faire un tour sur le boulevard du rock'n'roll À cinq dans la TR3, il faudra que ça décolle Et le rictus d'Elvis sera mon seul sourire Pour faire la croisière de mes souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir Un clin d'il à Jim et be bop a lula
Sors le transistor au bord d'un terrain vague Rallume une Lucky et regarde ma bague La tête de mort aux yeux qui brillent C'est ça la croisière de mes souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir Un clin d'il à Jim et be bop a lula
On va faire un tour sur le boulevard du rock'n'roll Accompagné de Little Richard et des folles Et de Jerry Lee et Buddy Holly Pour faire la croisière de mes souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir Un clin d'il à Jim et be bop a lula
Ouais Be bop a lula she's my baby Be bop a lula I don't mean maybe Be bop a lula she's my baby Partons en croisière sur nos souvenirs
Be bop a lula she's my baby Be bop a lula she's my baby
Partons en croisière sur nos souvenirs Souvenirs, ouais, souvenirs Je t'attendrai là, là, jusqu'à minuit
Slow As Christmas Composer(s): Clint Black; Hayden Nicholas Performer(s): Clint Black
You're as slow as Christmas, I was up before the dawn Up so fast I missed it, or is that old saying wrong Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone
I've heard old sayin's, old clichés, and most o' them make sense But we're wiser in our younger days, not easily convinced There's no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes It seems that Santa's sled isn't the only thing that flies
You're as slow as Christmas, I was up before the dawn Up so fast I missed it, or is that old saying wrong Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone
We're bringin' in another year, let's throw that old one back A fine new train, I'll be the engineer and hurry down the track While I know that time is standin' still, I hear that old cliché And I'm more convinced it does until that one December day
When I'm as slow as Christmas, I'll be up before the dawn I'm not gonna miss this, I know that old saying's wrong Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone Come and gone
Sleepy Head Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
Sleepy Head, come on, get out of bed Ain't you heard the rooster crow? Must've been a week ago Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sleepy Head, see the sun so bright and red? He's been up and ridin' high, but you just let the time go by Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sleepy Head, I'd take away that bed But you're such a lazy pup, you'd be sleeping standing up Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sleepy Head, underworked and over fed Gonna sleep the day away, "But this is such a sleepy day "I wanna be a Sleepy Head"
Sleepy Head, got to get you out of bed "You just stand around and shout until you get me tuckered out I'm bound to be a Sleepy Head"
Big boy, don't you know today is Sunday? That's no day to lay around and doze "Sunday is the day I sleep til Monday That's the way I save my go-to-meetin' clothes"
Sleepy Head, you're gonna be a long time dead Gabriel's gonna blow his horn, but you won't hear it if it's morn Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sea Child Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Hot Tuna
Daily things fall off like water falling down like summer rain We see each other in confusion Wonder why we came today Sittin' lonely in our prison lookin' out for ways to sail What we'd be without confusion in our less uncommon way Through your hair across my eyes the twilight shafts in soft surprise Reminds me once again how nice it is to be with you
Sleigh Bell Serenade Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Bing Crosby
When your nose is all a tingle And you're glidin' down the glade Can't you hear the jolly jingle Of the sleigh bell serenade
Every tree's a frozen statue In a winter masquerade And the moon is winking at you 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
In the summer on a hay ride, night or day ride You can pass the cider jug But in the winter, every sleigh ride is a gay ride You can sneak a hug `neath the old bear rug
All the world's a wide umbrella For a fella and his mate What a lovely night to tell her 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
(When your nose is all a tingle) (And you're glidin' down the glade) Can't you hear the jolly tingle Of the sleigh bell serenade
Every tree's a frozen statue In a winter masquerade And the moon is winking at you 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
(In the dunder on a hay ride, night or day ride) (You can pass the cider jug) Ah, but in the winter, every sleigh ride is a gay ride You can sneak a hug `neath the old bear rug
(All the world's a wide umbrella) For a fella and his mate What a lovely night to tell her 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
I saw a sweet, a seemly sight A blissful burd, a blossom bright That morning made and mirth among A maiden mother meek and mild In cradle keep a knave child That softly slept; she sat and sung Lullay, lulla balow My bairn, sleep softly now
Se Va Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Se va, y se lleva en la maleta tantos sueños, tantas metas que te prometió ayer Se va, diciendo que está cansado que no puede estar atado siempre a la misma mujer Se va, y te deja abandonada esperando la llegada del hijo que llevas de él Se va, y se aparta de tu lado como un cobarde asustado diciendo que va a volver No te rompas el alma mujer que no vale la pena no derrames tu llanto por él que no vale la pena y abre tu corazón a la luz de ese amor que en tu vientre ya espera Se va, y te crees que el mundo acaba que vivir no vale nada y que vas a enloquecer Se va, y encontrarás la alegría y la fuerza cada día para saber lo que hacer Se va, te entregaste como eres sin reservas, ni papeles y la vida te engañó Se va, y es mejor perder a tiempo que guardar un sentimiento que no existe entre los dos No te rompas el alma mujer que no vale la pena no derrames tu llanto por él que no vale la pena y abre tu corazón a la luz de ese amor que en tu vientre ya espera No te rompas amiga por él que no vale la pena no te creas que quiere volver ya no vale la pena vuelve a ser la mujer con coraje y valor que hace tiempo tú eras
All The Things You Are Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Jerome Kern First performance by: Hiram Sherman, Frances Mercer, Hollis Shaw, Ralph Stuart Covered by multiple other artists
Time and again I've longed for adventure Something to make my heart beat the faster What did I long for? I never really knew Finding your love I've found my adventure Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster All that I want in all of this world is you
You are the promised kiss of springtime That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine!
Se Tu Sei Cielo Composer(s): Luisa Zappa; Angelo Branduardi Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Se tu sei cielo è a te che tornerò e sul tuo seno le ali piegherò... Per il mio sonno sei notte e sole al mattino e tiepida pioggia sulla terra che ho Se tu sei vento vento di mare... prima tempesta e poi riparo Il tuo passo leggero mi segue sulla via, sei tu che cammini sulla terra che ho Se tu sei tempo con me tu passerai, bella stagione, profumo mi darai... e vendemmia per noi l'autunno che verrà, poi le foglie cadranno sulla terra che ho Ma tu sei cielo e a te io tornerò e del tuo seno il nido mi farò... sei la strada accogliente che il mio passo sa già e sei vento, sei tempo, sei la terra che ho
Six White Boomers
Composer(s): Rolf Harris; John D. Brown
Performer(s): Rolf Harris; The Fleshtones; Frosty & the Snowmen
Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kanga-roo
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
Mummy, where's my mummy, they've taken her a-way
We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh
Up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped
But they had'nt gone far when Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite OK
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh
Joey said to Santa, Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys
They've all got their presents son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight
Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar
Slow down there, cried Santa, it can't be far
Come up on my lap son, and have a look around
There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down
Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch all snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa headed northward from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run
