Under My Tree
Composer(s): Shelley Peiken; Guy Roche
Performer(s): *NSync
It's that time of year, Christmas is here
Everybody's back together again
Spreading the joy, spreading good cheer
Toasting to another year's end
So thankful for all of our friends
When the party is over, night's just begun
I promise the best part is yet to come
Slow dance together, two become one
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and slow
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
The fire's aglow, wWe've got Nat King Cole
Singing us a song from his heart
Sleigh bells and snow makes us feel close to the stars
When the carols are sung and the fire has died
The embers still burn with the love in our eyes
We cherish the moment, Savour the night
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and slow
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
No one else but me
No one but you
Sweet randezvous, oh
No one but me
No one but you
When the party is over
Night's just begun
I promise the best
Is yet to come
Slow dance together
Two become one
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and slow
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than make all our dreams come true
Under my tree
Such a cosy rendezvous
Just relax and enjoy the view
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Under my tree
It's that time of year, Christmas is here
Christmas is here
It's that time of year
Christmas is here
Full of love and good cheer
Sì Composer(s): Mario Panzeri; Daniele Pace; Lorenzo Pilat; Carrado Conti First performance by: Gigliola Cinquetti - 1974
Camminai un po', dietro i passi suoi E chissà perché non ridevo più L'erba si appoggiò sul vestito mio Era come se io dicessi addio Non leggevo più nei pensieri miei Ma poi si fece chiara l'atmosfera E dovevo dirgli "sì"
Sì, la mia mente disse "sì" Per paura o per amore Non me lo chiesi mai Sì, dolcemente dissi "sì" Per provare un'emozione Che non ho avuto mai E quando nel suo viso Tutto il cielo si scoprì "Sì", "sì"
Quel che accadde poi non ricordo più Forse mi svegliai o mi addormentai E nei sogni miei grandi praterie E le mani tue strette nelle mie Correvamo e poi, correvamo e poi E poi si fece chiara l'atmosfera E tornai a dirti "sì" "Sì"
Sì, dolcemente dissi "sì" Per provare un'emozione Che non ho avuto mai E quando nel suo viso Tutto il cielo si scoprì
"Sì", (all'amore ho detto "sì") (E ogni notte come allora ancora ti direi "sì") "Sì", "sì"
Un enfant est né de père inconnu Et des millions d'hommes l'ont reconnu Et l'ont adopté Un enfant est né et soudain le cours De son temps a pris un autre parcours Et l'amour est né
Il aura suffi A Jésus de naître Pour que dans la nuit Où marchaient les êtres Sans but et sans maître L'espoir prenne corps, l'espoir prenne vie Un enfant est né Et tout a changé Pour les hommes de bonne volonté
Un enfant est né de père inconnu Et des millions d'hommes l'ont reconnu Et l'ont adopté Un enfant est né messager des cieux Pour léguer sa vie comme un don précieux A l'humanité
Quand tout semble vain Et nous semble vide Que tout est chagrin Que le coeur se ride Sans lueur, sans guide Jésus vient à nous et nous tend les mains
Et depuis déjà près de deux mille ans Lorsque rien ne va au rythme du temps Pour vous et pour moi renaît cet enfant Chantons tous son avènement Oui chantons tous son avènement
Shy People Composer(s): Christopher Franke; Edgar Froese; Paul Haslinger Performer(s): Tangerine Dream; Jacquie Virgil
Down through the ages With same structures and forms Living and feeling With same troubles, can't keep on How to escape From the jungle we build How to remain There's a being fulfilled
Shy people, those are riders in the natural way Shy people, fearful creatures outside are insane You will never be part of our lives You will never be part of our lives
Shy people see through their eyes
Timeless, reflecting grey, light up sin, saw the lie Those minions of dreams not a week lets them by My father's behavior was ruining the land Sun breathes out of wild eyes people understand
Shy people, those are riders in the natural dream Shy people fearful creatures outside are insane You will never be part of our lives You will never be part of our lives you will never, you will never see through their eyes
Un Enfant De Toi Pour Noël
English Title: My Own Child For Christmas From You
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quand viendra le temps du froid et du gel J'aimerais pouvoir trouver ce cadeau Dans un berceau blanc, tel un angelot Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Rose et merveilleux tout petit et frêle Dormant innocent sous le sapin vert Pour être le coeur de notre univers Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Un enfant de toi, de nous Rêvé ensemble Conçu ensemble Fille ou garçon Quelle importance, au fond?
Sorti de tes flancs lourds et maternels Pour faire en nos coeur jaillir la lumière Sang de notre sang, chair de notre chair Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Fruit de nos espoir, envoyé du ciel Pour donner un sens au fil de nos jours Au prix de nos joies, au nom de l'amour Un enfant de toi pour Noël
Shutters And Boards Composer(s): Audie Murphy; John Turner; Scott Turner Performer(s): Charley Pride and multiple other artists
(Shutters and boards cover the windows) (Of the house where we used to live)
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
The house that we built was once filled with laughter But I changed that laughter to tears And now I live in a world without sunshine Oh, how I wish you were here
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house To take an old book from the shelf If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards 'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
One more time!
Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since she said she'd never forgive
Two-Step 'Round The Christmas Tree Composer(s): Suzy Bogguss; Doug Crider Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss; Michael Martin Murphey
There's a wonderous sight and a joyful sound Every Christmas Eve in a western town Gather up the kids, all the friends and family 'Cause the holly's hung and the candle's bright Tuning up a fiddle on a moonlit night Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
There's a jolly man in a bright red suit Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots Twirling across the floor spurs a-jingling merri-ly As they sing those carols soft and low We'll all be shouting out cotton-eyed Joe Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe You'll never get a kiss I never move that slow there's to much I could miss "Cause a western girl can't be still And a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree
Red Bandanas, kelly green Silver buckles on a new blue jeans Jumpin' 'round the room to a yule tide melo-dy I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes But I'm gonna be dancing til he does Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe you'll never get a kiss I never move that slow there's to much I could miss "Cause a western girl can't be still and a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree

Hoy tengo tiempo tengo todo el tiempo del mundo para pensar en nosotros para pensar en ti y en mi y en todas las pequeñas cosas que nos rodeaban y que entonces no comprendi Y es que aun te quiero si te quiero te quiero! Y pienso en aquellas mañanas y siento aun el calor de nuestros cuerpos que entre las sabanas formaban una carcel maravillosa de la que nos resistiamos a huir Recuerdo nuestro lenguaje hecho de caricias y susurros Como te echo de menos y cuanto te quiero Si Recuerdas? Si Pero aquello acabo, como acaba todo casi sin querer, igual que el rio se pierde en el mar No, no no fue culpa tuya ni mia pero con nuestro orgullo perdimos mil cosas bellas Hoy tengo tiempo tengo todo el tiempo del mundo y cuanto mas pienso, mas te añoro y mas te deseo Y es que aun te quiero Te Quiero Te Quiero! Si Pero donde estas?

Wenn du ihr sagst alles ist vorbei wenn du nicht glaubst sie ist dir nur treu Dreh dich einmal um, schau in ihr Gesicht und du wirst seh'n, Tränen lügen nicht
Bei Tag und Nacht mit ihr war es schön Die Tür steht auf, willst du wirklich geh'n Wie ein offenes Buch ist Herz für dich und du erkennst Tränen lügen nicht
Vergoss'nen Wein den trinkt keiner mehr Ein verlor'nes Herz bleibt für immer leer Es ist nie zu spät, komm entscheide dich Reich ihr die Hand, Tränen lügen nicht
Die große Stadt lockt mit ihrem Glanz mit schönen Frau'n, mit Musik und Tanz Doch der Schein hält nie, was er dir verspricht Kehr endlich um, Tränen lügen nicht
Dreh dich noch mal um Schau in ihr Gesicht und du verstehst, Tränen lügen nicht

'Twas The Night Before Christmas Composer(s): Clement C. Moore; Matthew Quinn; Noel Paul Stookey Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
't Was the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads Mom in her kerchief and I in my cap Had just settled down for a long winter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter Away to the window I flew with a flash Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Gave a luster of mid-day to objects below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
With a little old driver so lively and quick Well I knew in a moment, it must be St. Nick More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came And he whistled and he shouted and he called them by name
"On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly When they meet to an obstacle mount to the sky So up to the rooftop the coursers they flew With a sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas too
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing, the pawing of each little hoof As I drew in my head and was turning around Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot A bundle of toys he had flung on his back And he looked like a peddler just op'ning his pack
His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples, how merry His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry His droll little mouth was drawn up in a bow And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
The stump of a pipe, he held tight in his teeth And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when laughed (ho, ho, ho, ho) like a bowl full of jelly (ho, ho, ho, ho)
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings and turned with a jerk And laying a finger to the side of his nose And giving a nod up the chimney he rose
He sprang to his sleigh, and to his team gave a whistle And away they all flew like the down of a thistle But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight "Merry Christmas to all and to all ... goodnight
Shut The Door (They're Coming Through the Window) Composer(s): Mann; Ives; Kern; Howard Performer(s): Sam & Kirk McGee
I know a certain fellow By the name of Joe Devine He started seeing funny things From drinkin' too much wine Around his bed pink elephants And zebras played about A purple monkey kissed him twice And he began to shout Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Shut the window! They're coming through the door! Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Oh! the room is full And won't hold any more!
A man lived in Vancouver In a cottage by the sea One night he called the sheriff up And said "They're robbing me! There's twenty crooks around the house Please tell me what to do!" The sheriff said, "Don't let 'em in That's my advice to you!" Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Shut the window! They're coming through the door! Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Oh! the room is full And won't hold any more!
A dad-to-be was waiting For the stork to bring an heir Out came the nurse who said "Two storks Have just brought you a pair! Oh, wait! There's more storks circling 'round I think they're gonna light! Looks like those storks are gonna be Kept busy here tonight!" Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Shut the window! They're coming through the door! Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Oh! the room is full And won't hold any more!
My wife went in for rabbits And she kept them in a hutch She only bought two rabbits And it didn't seem like much One morning when we looked at them Oh, how they'd multiplied! A million rabbits hopped right out And all the neighbors cried Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Shut the window! They're coming through the door! Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Oh! the room is full And won't hold any more!
The first week we were married My dear wife said to me "I'm feeling kind of lonesome For my darling family Can we invite them for awhile Since we've got room to spare?" They eat me out of house and home They're getting in my hair! Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Shut the window! They're coming through the door! Shut the door! They're coming through the window! Oh! the room is full And won't hold any more!

Tonight Is Christmas Composer(s): Steve Baccus; Don Matthews; Stan Munsey; Keith Worsham Performer(s): Alabama
The factories are shut down, shopping malls are all closed The busy streets are empty, 'cept for fallin' snow And in the small towns and the cities families gather as one 'Cause the night of love and sharing they've look forward to has come
Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son Tonight there's hope for peace on Earth eternally Tonight is Christmas and the World's in harmony
But across the sea, two armies stare down at each other's guns Each believing in their cause enough to die or kil the other one But tonight there'll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill They'll cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and goodwill
Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son Tonight there's hope for peace on Earth eternally Tonight is Christmas and the World's in harmony
Stay Away ((Adapted from: A New Northern Dittye Of The Lady Greene Sleeves - 1580 (aka What Child Is This? - 1958)) Composer(s): Traditional; Sid Tepper; Roy Bennett Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1968
Titles In Other Languages: 1966 - La Nostra Terra 2008 - D'ici
Ten thousand miles even though I roam I can hear the call of the hills of home The canyons high and the valleys low Echo "How can you stay away"
My dreams are there where the eagles fly Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky The winding streams and the winds that blow Ask me "How can you stay away"
Too long have I stayed apart From this land that I love and denied my heart Now, now I know I must go Where the hills say "Don't stay away" Where the hills say "Don't stay away"
