You are so much cool one, I don't worry about a thing
You are pushin' full of lovin' that makes my heart sing
I know that you want me and you prove it every day
You're the kind of girl I can find giving my birds & I say
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
But I, oh I, oh I, I couldn't keep it to myself
Baby I'm so proud I'm really gonna scream out loud
I can't hold it any longer; your love talk is getting stronger
Just one look in your eyes can make a young man cry
Said I couldn't advertise, but baby you apologize
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
But I, oh I, oh I, I couldn't keep it to myself
Look, your love is harder than the hardest rock

Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul

Said I Love You ... But I Lied
Said I Love You ... But I Lied
Composer(s): Michael Bolton; Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Performer(s): Michael Bolton; Kilauea
You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Til the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you...But I lied

Sahara (We'll Soon Be Dry Like You)
Sahara (We'll Soon Be Dry Like You)
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Jean Schwartz
Performer(s): Esther Walker
King Ram-e-ses went to pieces seven thousand years ago
And passed a law that Egypt must go dry
He took the liquors from the slickers all the way to Jerico
But kept a little toddy on the sly
The desert of Sahara flowed with honey, so they say
Till prohibition came along and dried it up one day
Sahara, we sympathize with you
Sahara, now we're dry like you
I know why Cleopatra put that snake against her skin
She lost her mind completely when she lost her Gordon's Gin
Omar Khyam took a leap into his caravan
He took his wine glass, and away he flew
And ever since
All those Egyptians move their funny arms so queer
They got that way
From reaching for imaginary steins of beer
Sahara, Sahara, now we're dry like you
I know just why Rebecca took her little pitcher to the well
That old well just was camouflaging for a lager beer hotel
Sahara, Sahara, now we're dry like you
I've got the old Sahara prohibition blues

I Never Spend A Christmas That I Don't Think Of You
I Never Spend A Christmas That I Don't Think Of You
Composer(s): Don Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
The year you were snow queen
at the high school Christmas ball
The night we got snowed in and prayed it wouldn't thaw
The year I bought your bracelet and you bought me one too
I never spend a Christmas that I don't think of you
The year I helped your Daddy trim the outdoor tree with lights
You worked part time at Penney's and I took you home at night
The Christmas Eve you told me you loved me and I knew
I'd never spend a Christmas I wouldn't think of you
The night you planned the party to decorate the tree
It snowed so hard no one could come, no one but you and me
The year the senior class sold Christmas trees and mistletoe
And we never thought that someday this would seem so long ago
The Christmas Eve I told you I love you, well I do
And I never spend a Christmas that I don't think of you
I'll never spend a Christmas I won't be loving you

Saginaw Michigan
Saginaw Michigan
Composer(s): Bill Anderson; Don Wayne
First release by: Lefty Frizzell - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
I was born in Saginaw Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand
Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in this frozen ground so cold
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
I said, "Honey I'm a-coming home, please wait for me
And you can tell your dad I'm coming home a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondike history"
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said, "Son, you wild young ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim"
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool is a-looking for the gold I never found
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan

I Never Knew The Meaning Of Christmas
Composer(s): Evan Rogers; Carl Sturken
Performer(s): *NSync
Fa la la, la la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
Looking back on childhood days
I can't believe my foolish ways
Thought that Christmas only came from a store
Had to know what was there for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
I didn't know that there could be so much more
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Coming home for the holidays
Seeing friends from around the way
There was always something missing for me
All the sleigh rides, caroling
Didn't really mean anything
Without that someone who can make it complete
All the snow's falling down
There is joy all around
'Cause, girl, your love has shown me the way
And I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
(Singing la, la la la, la la la la)
La la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la, la la la la
(Singing la, la la la, la la la la)
Fa la la la
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Never knew, never knew, never knew, knew, knew)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark 'til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star and, girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes

Sagapo
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; S. Lebel; Ch. Bruhn
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Ils vivaient d'air du large et de soleil
Dans l'île bleue bénie des dieux
Je suis venue lui prendre un peu de ciel
Je suis passée on s'est aimés
Sagapo dis-moi "je t'aime"
Nous avons si peu de temps
Pour un si grand amour
Sagapo c'est un long poème
Pour un petit mot sans illusion
Et sans retour
On s'endormait dans les couleurs du soir
On s'éveillait pour s'épouser
Nos cœurs battaient au rythme des guitares
Et on chantait sans y penser
{au Refrain}
Va-t-il se taire
Ce vent d'hiver
Qui dit que tu
N'existes plus
Sagapo dis-moi "je t'aime"
Nous avons si peu de temps
Pour un si grand amour
Sagapo c'est un long poème
Pour un petit mot sans illusion
Et sans retour
Pour un petit mot sans illusion
Et sans retour

Ooh baby
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day
24th of December
It was a cold and snowy night
I can still remember
Gazing at the stars and the moonlight
Fell asleep on the sofa bed
Dreams of Christmas in my head
I awoke to my surprise
There he was right before my eyes
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day
I was stuffing the stockings
And hanging tinsel on the tree
When i heard a knocking
I opened the door in time to see
Carrolers and silver bells
I saw his face that's when i fell
He was there bent on one knee
Santa sent him just for me
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day
Yeah yeah
I know this love will grow
When flowers bloom in early spring
I'll be his bride, I'll wear his ring
If you're looking for a angel who
Is gonna make your every dream come true
Just write an letter saying Santa hey
I need an angel next Christmas day
Yeah ooh baby, oh oh
Listen up to what I gotta say, babe
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring n' ring in May
I met an angel on christmas day
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring, chapel bells are gonna ring
I met an angel on christmas day
Listen up to what I gotta say
True love and it's all day
I met an angel on christmas day

I Like Life
I Like Life
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Stratford Johns
The Ghost of Christmas Present (G) and Scrooge (S)
(G)
Ebenezer Scrooge, the sins of man are huge!
A never-ending symphony of villainy and infamy
duplicity, deceit and subterfuge
And no one's worse than Ebenezer Scrooge!
Though man's a handy candidate for Hell
I must admit life sometimes has
its brighter side as well!
I like life! Life likes me!
Life and I fairly fully agree
Life is fine! Life is good!
'Specially mine which is just as it should be!
I like pouring the wine and why not?
Life's a pleasure that I deny not
I like life here and now
Life and I made a mutual vow
Till I die, life and I
We'll both try to be better somehow
And if life were a woman she would be my wife
(S) Why?
(G) Why? Because I like life!
(S) That's all very well for you but not for me
I hate life
(G) Scrooge, you're an even bigger fool than I took you for!
Now you listen to me
I like life
Well, go on!
(S) I like life
(G) That's better!
Life likes me
(S) Life likes me
(G) Good! Good!
I make life a perpetual spree
(S) Perpetual spree
(G) Eating food
(S) Drinking wine
Thinking who'd like the privilege to dine me
I like drinking the drink I'm drinking
(G) That's better, Scrooge!
I like thinking the thoughts I'm thinking
I like songs, I like dance
I hear music and I'm in a trance
(S) Tra la la!
(G) Oompapah!
(both) Chances are we shall get up and prance
(G) Where there's music and laughter happiness is rife
(S) Why?
(G) Why? Because I like life!
(both) Where there's music and laughter happiness is rife
Why? Because I like life
See how much we like life!

I Know What I Want For Christmas
I Know What I Want For Christmas
Composer(s): Charlie Black; Dana Hunt
Performer(s): George Strait
This the season for generosity
A time to give and to receive
My Christmas list consists of just one sweet dream....
I know what I want for Christmas this year
I hope my note got to Santa on time
I’m a little bit nervous,
It’s kind of a big thing I’m asking for
I don’t know if I deserve it but, boy, if I get it
I’ll never ask for anything more
It shines, it’s new
And it’s the one wish that I wish would come true
This year for Christmas I just wanna be with you
We can build a little fire
We can sit and talk for hours
We’ll just have fun
You can tell me what you did
Christmas morning as a kid
And we’ll talk about all our Christmases to come
And if I hang a little mistletoe in every single doorway
I’m sure to get a kiss
And is it too much to ask for a snowman kind of snow
To complete this singular wish?
It shines, it’s new
I know what I want and nothin’ else will do
This year for Christmas I just want to be with you
This year for Christmas I just want to be with you

Sag mir wo - sag mir wo

die sich für ein ganzes Leben lang verlieben?
Wo sind alle diese Wunder denn geblieben?

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte;
and various other artists
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar Carols play
And wide and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth good will to man
I thought as now this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rung so long the unbroken song
Of peace on earth good will to man
And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and marks the song
Of peace on earth good will to man
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does he sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth good will to man

I Hate People
I Hate People
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Scavengers and sycophants and flatterers and fools
Pharisees and parasites and hypocrites and ghouls
Calculating swindlers, prevaricating frauds
Perpetrating evil as they roam the earth in hordes
Feeding on their fellow men
Reaping rich rewards
Contaminating everything they see
Corrupting honest me like me
Humbug! Poppycock! Balderdash! Bah!
I hate people! I hate people!
People are despicable creatures
Loathesome inexplicable creatures
Good-for-nothing kickable creatures
I hate people! I abhor them!
When I see the indolent classes
Sitting on their indolent asses
Gulping ale from indolent glasses
I hate people! I detest them! I deplore them!
Fools who have no money spend it
Get in debt then try to end it
Beg me on their knees befriend them
Knowing I have cash to lend them
Soft-hearted me! Hard-working me!
Clean-living, thrifty and kind as can be!
Situations like this are of interest to me
I hate people! I loathe people! I despise and abominate people!
Life is full of cretinous wretches
Earning what their sweatiness fetches
Empty minds whose pettiness stretches
Further than I can see
Little wonder I hate people
And I don't care if they hate me!
