Picture Of Your Mother Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; NewFound Road
My little girl and I lost Mama just three years ago And now that she is older there are things she wants to know She said, "Please Daddy tell me 'bout my mother 'cause I miss her" I said "Get pen and paper and I'll help your draw her picture"
I said "First draw a heart so big there's room for little else Then write a million for the things that she denied herself Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother
"If you want to make the picture even more complete You could draw a little cottage, draw it nice and neat Draw a bright and shining sun up in the sky above But then again I guess it's pretty hard to draw my love
"So draw a heart so big that there is room for little else Write a million for the things that she denied herself Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother"
Si Alguna Vez Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Si alguna vez tuviste palabras sinceras y se las diste a alguna mujer si como yo creías en ella y se fue, y se fue Deja de llorar, deja de llorar como hice yo lo que amabas tú lo que amaba yo atrás se quedo Si con dinero comprabas a las buenas amigas para olvidarte de tu soledad para que buscas entre esa gente la verdad, la amistad Deja de llorar, deja de llorar como hice yo lo que hiciste tú lo que hice yo atrás se quedo Deja de llorar, deja de llorar como hice yo lo que fuiste tú lo que era yo atrás se quedo
Si Jétais Blanche Composer(s): Bobby Falk; Leo Lelièvre; Henri Varna Performer(s): Josephine Baker
J' voudrais être Blanche Pour moi, quel bonheur Si mes seins et mes hanches Changeaient de couleur
Les Parisiennes, à Juan-les-Pins Se faisaient gloire Au soleil d'exposer leurs reins Pour être Noires
Moi, pour être Blanche J'allais me roulant Parmi les avalanches En haut du mont Blanc
Ce stratagème Donna zéro J'avais l'air, dans la crème D'un petit pruneau
Étant petite, avec chagrin J'admirais dans les magasins La teinte pâle des poupées blondes J'aurais voulu leur ressembler Et je disais, l'air accablé Me croyant seule brune au monde
Ti li ti li ti...
Moi, si j'étais Blanche Sachez qu' mon bonheur Qui près de vous s'épanche Garderait sa couleur
Au soleil, c'est par l'extérieur Que l'on se dore Moi, c'est la flamme de mon cur Qui me colore
Ti li ti li ti...
Et si ma figure Mon corps sont brunis C'est parce que la nature Me voulait ainsi
Mais je suis franche Dites-moi Messieurs Faut-il que je sois Blanche Pour vous plaire mieux?
Where Are You Christmas? From the film "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000) Composer(s): Mariah Carey; James Horner; Will Jennings Performer(s): Faith Hill; and various other artists
Where are you Christmas Why can't I find you Why have you gone away Where is the laughter You used to bring me Why can't I hear music play
My world is changing I'm rearranging Does that mean Christmas changes too
Where are you Christmas Do you remember The one you used to know I'm not the same one See what the time's done Is that why you have let me go
Christmas is here Everywhere, oh Christmas is here If you care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your mind You will feel like Christmas all the time
I feel you Christmas I know I've found you You never fade away The joy of Christmas Stays here in silence Fills each and every heart with love
Where are you Christmas Fills your heart with love
Rachel
Composer(s): Skeeter Davis
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Rachel, Rachel, that's the name you kept callin' Last night while you were asleep I kissed you and woke you and you hugged me tightly And said you were having a dream I teased you and asked you now who is this Rachel You said I imagined the name But I knew as soon as I asked you the question That I'd hear of Rachel again.
I've noticed lately while you sleep you've been smilin' And you've never done this before And I've noticed lately and I just can't help but wonder Why I never smile anymore Well, I guess a woman has some way of knowin' When her man don't feel quiet the same Some other woman is making you smile now While you slept you told me her name.
Now you lie here sleepin', I lie here cryin' I love you I can't set you free You're smilin' and dreamin' that you're with your Rachel But you'll die in your sleep holdin' me And I'll die wondering who's Rachel...
When The Snow Comes Down In Tinseltown Composer(s): Charlie Midnight Performer(s): Hilary Duff
Dear Santa, I live in Hollywood But it's not like in the movies Where Christmas is always snowy white On my list, is just one wish That it would snow tonight.....
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown You'll be dancing in Hollywood Slippin' and sliding and sleigh riding All over the neighborhood
You'll be rocking with a stocking on your head So the cold wont get to you. On Christmas Eve you can believe That wishes do come true
Oh, when the snow comes down Oh, in Tinseltown On Christmas Eve you will believe When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
You close your eyes and to your surprise You see the reindeer fly The choir singing fa la la la la Go walking by
Singing and ringing right along And church bells in the air It seems so real, that you can feel The snowflakes in your hair
Oh, when the snow comes down Oh, in Tinseltown On Christmas Eve you will believe When the snow comes down in
In the morning, when you awake Your face all shining bright And when you look outside you see The palm trees dressed in white
Dear Santa, thank you Thank you for that perfect Christmas day Gliding down the streets of Hollywood In a one horse open sleigh
Oh, when the snow comes down Oh, in Tinseltown On Christmas Eve you will believe When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow comes down Oh, in Tinseltown On Christmas Eve you will believe When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow comes down Oh, in Tinseltown On Christmas Eve you will believe When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow comes down Oh, in Tinseltown On Christmas Eve you will believe When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
When Santa got stuck up the chimney He began to shout You girls and boys Won't get any toys If you don't pull me out There's soot on my back And my beard is all black My nose is tickling too! When Santa got stuck up the chimney Achoo, Achoo, Achoo
't Was on the eve before Christmas Day When Santa Claus arrived on his sleigh Into the chimney he climbed with his sack But he was so fat - he couldn't get back Oh, what a terrible plight, gangway He stayed up there all night When Santa got stuck up the chimney He began to yell Oh hurry, please It's all such a squeeze The reindeer's stuck as well! His head's up there in the cold night air Now Rudolph's nose is blue!! When Santa got stuck up the chimney Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo!
Rainy Nights And Memories Composer(s): Wayland Holyfield; Jim Rushing Performer(s): Don Williams
It's hard to hide a ling'ring disappointment But most of the time I wear it well But there are times when I just can't help rememb'ring The night you left that rainy night when my whole future fell
Rainy nights and mem'ries go together And with ev'ry drop of rain I feel the pain I can almost hear my pleading on the night you were leaving But I might as well have tried to stop the rain
The blowin' wind that moans outside my window Seems to echo the closin' of a door For it was then I first realized I had heard your last goodbye And my whole world went crumblin' to the floor
Rainy nights and mem'ries go together And with ev'ry drop of rain I feel the pain I can almost hear my pleading on the night you were leaving But I might as well have tried to stop the rain
Si Je Pouvais Revivre Un Jour Ma Vie (English Version: If Only I Could Live My Life Again) Composer(s): Louis Amade; Gilbert Bécaud; Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Pierre Cavalli et Son Orch.; Dalida
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie J'oublierai bien ou j'ai pleuré naguère Je construirai ce que j'ai démoli Et je ferai des anciennes misères Un feu de joie de minuit
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie Sur les débris de ma pauvre bohème Je serais bien te dire que je t'aime A toi pour qui je ne l'ai jamais dit
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie Je fretterai quelques vaisseaux immenses Pour embarquer tout ceux que j'aime ici En oubliant les gens sans importance Au centre de mon oublie
Dans ce destin de voyage au long court Toi tu serais maître de l'équipage Nous partirions pour le plus grand voyage En choisissant bien sur le point du jour Si je pouvais revivre pour l'amour
When It's Christmas Time In Texas Composer(s): Benny McArthur Performer(s): George Strait; Rick Orozeo; La Tropa F
When it's Christmas time in Texas It's a very special time for me In Texas we'll be swingin' 'round the Christmas tree Dancin' to a Christmas melody
When it's Christmas time in Texas It might look just like a Summer day There may not be snow in San Antonio But it's a Texas Christmas to me
When Santa crosses over the border He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings He'll hear those twin fiddles playin' Christmas songs with a touch of western swing There may not be snow in San Antonio But it's a Texas Christmas to me
When it's Christmas time in Texas I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing People on the go, children's faces all aglow Wond'rin' what Santa's gonna bring
Grandpa's been chasin' Grandma around Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe Everything is right, the Lone Star's shinin' bright And it's a Texas Christmas to me
When Santa crosses over the border He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings He'll hear those twin fiddles playin' Christmas songs with a touch of western swing There may not be snow in San Antonio But it's a Texas Christmas to me
And we're wishing you all a Merry Christmas Merry Christmas from Texas and me
Si Je N'avais Plus (Italian Version: Se Non Avessi Più) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Si je n'avais plus Si ne n'avais plus Plus qu'une heure à vivre Une heure et pas plus Je voudrais la vivre Au creux de ton lit Car j'aurais ma mie Ma peur à combattre
Penché sur ta vie Pour l'entendre battre Je pourrais garder Au fond de mon cur Sous la terre froide Un peu de chaleur Que j'emporterais
Si je n'avais plus Si je n'avais plus Plus qu'une heure à vivre Une heure et pas plus Je voudrais la vivre A l'aube d'un jour Sur un lit d'amour Pour n'avoir à dire
Que des mots d'amour Pour te voir sourire Et ne plus penser Et ne plus penser Qu'un autre après moi Te verras sourire Qu'un autre après moi Pourra t'enlacer Et dans un baiser Et dans un baiser Le corps apaisé Le cur allégé D'un million de doutes Mon dernier sommeil M'ouvrira la route Qui mène au soleil
When It Comes To Christmas Composer(s): Teddy Gentry; Randy Owen; Ron Rogers Performer(s): Alabama
Well, I'm glad little Johnny wants that remote control I know I'm gonna run it as fast as it will go And Jenny wants ev'ry game that Nintendo makes It's just around the corner and I can't wait
I've got my stocking hangin', it's time to go to bed I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did Yeah, when it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid
Well, I still like shakin' presents underneath the tree And tryin' to figure out what ol' Santa's got for me Oh, I get so excited on Christmas Eve I try my best to close my eyes, but I can't sleep
Well, I've got my stocking hangin', its time to go to bed I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did Yeah, when it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid
When it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid Just a kid Still a kid
That Noise Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley Performer(s): Anthony Newley
Can you hear it, that noise? Its been driving me potty all day
I woke up this morning in my usual lively way Peeped out from the bedclothes at another dreary day Feeling full of fun, I threw the alarm clock at the cat Turned over and went back to sleep and thought that that was that
But it wasnt, it was that
I yawned and stretched and scratched a bit Then tumbled out of bed But still I felt this rhythm sorta pounding in my head I thought, well, this is funny, but it cant go on all day I think Ill just ignore it, then its bound to go away
Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seems to go right?
I started out to work and met the postman on his round I said, Good morning postman, can you hear that funny sound? He listened and he said, dyou mean that *>#^%$# noise? I said, thats right He said, thats funny, I cant hear a thing Have you ever tried to push a postman through a letterbox? Its not easy
I went up to a policeman I said, can you hear that noise? He looked at me as if I was a gang o Teddy boys I said, you should arrest it for disturbing peoples peace He said All right, my lad, move on before I call the police!
Have you ever tried to push a policeman through a letterbox? Its all right till you get up to his boots
I went to see a wise man who said, leave it all to me! Ill analyse the noise for only twice my normal fee He came back three days later, and said Its tricky to explain In fact, I dont know what it is but there it goes again
Have you ever tried to push a wise man through twice his normal fee? Its all right until you get up to his letterbox No, that cant be right
I went down to the studios to record my latest hit A sentimental ballad that I thought was full of potential But every time I tried to sing this very lovely song This funny noise keeps starting up and makes me go all wrong
But Im not gonna be beaten by it Im gonna record this hit ballad if it kills me Because its a very pretty tune
What kind of fool am I, who never... Give me an A, will you, Ian? Lovely What kind of fool am I, who never fell-in (plays note twice more) Who never fell-in-love
Will you please try and stop that noise Will somebody please try and stop that noise
When Christmas Comes To Town Composer(s): Glen Ballard; Alan Silvestri Performer(s): Matthew Hall; Meagan Moore; Teresa Carpio; Doug Hammer
La la la la ... I'm wishing on a star And trying to believe That even though it's far He'll find me at Christmas Eve I guess Santa is busy Cause he never comes around I think of him when Christmas comes to town
The best time of the year When everyone comes home With all this Christmas tear It's hard to be alone Putting up the Christmas tree With friends you come around It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green All the things I've heard about, but never really see No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve Hoping Santa's on his way
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green All the things I've heard about, but never really see No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve Hoping Santa's on his way
When Santa's sleigh bells ring I listen all around The herald angels sing I never hear a sound And all the dreams of children Once lies will all be found That's all I want when Christmas comes to town That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
Si Je Mourais Là-Bas Composer(s): Guillaume Apollinaire Performer(s): Jean Ferrat; Christian Gonon
Si je mourais là-bas sur le front de l'armée Tu pleurerais un jour ô Lou ma bien-aimée Et puis mon souvenir s'éteindrait comme meurt Un obus éclatant sur le front de l'armée Un bel obus semblable aux mimosas en fleur
Et puis ce souvenir éclaté dans l'espace Couvrirait de mon sang le monde tout entier La mer les monts les vals et l'étoile qui passe Les soleils merveilleux mûrissant dans l'espace Comme font les fruits d'or autour de Baratier
Souvenir oublié vivant dans toutes choses Je rougirais le bout de tes jolis seins roses Je rougirais ta bouche et tes cheveux sanglants Tu ne vieillirais point toutes ces belles choses Rajeuniraient toujours pour leurs destins galants
Lou si je meurs là-bas souvenir qu'on oublie Souviens-t'en quelquefois aux instants de folie De jeunesse et d'amour et d'éclatante ardeur Mon sang c'est la fontaine ardente du bonheur Et sois la plus heureuse étant la plus jolie

Hams and yams and cookies and candy
chimes of joy and candles aglow Hymns and carols - choirs are forming everywhere that you go Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl Nobody cries or tells any lies The night that children rule the world When the children rule the world Tonight! When the children rule the world
Doves and kings and shepherds and wisemen came together followed the star They all gathered down in the manger, they came from so very far Midnight is clear, the spirits are here, angels that guard each boy and girl No hunger or thirst, the last will be first The night that children rule the world When the children rule the world Tonight! When the children rule the world
All the greatest wishes are granted, let us sing, let innocence reign All the prayers are finally answered, blessed and free of all pain Towers of fire rise ever higher, magical flags will be unfurled The power of song, the young are the strong The night that children rule the world When the children rule the world Tonight! When the children rule the world Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl The demons are gone, the young are the strong The night that children rule the world When the children rule the world Tonight! When the children rule the world
Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl The demons are gone, the young are the so strong (the night when the children) Rule the world When the children rule the world Tonight! When the children rule the world When the children rule the world Tonight! When the children rule the world (when the children) Oh (when the children) (when the children) They rule the world (when the children) Ooh, yeah (when the children) When the children rule the world (when the children) When the children rule the world (when the children) When the children rule the world (when the children) (when the children)..............
