Picture Of Your Mother
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
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 J'étais Blanche
Si J’étais 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 cœur
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?
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 (Skeeter Davis)
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
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
Oh, when the snow ................

Performer(s): Les Baronets - 1992
Peux-tu jurer que le jour
Où nous serons pour toujours
Réunis pour la vie
De ne jamais me tromper

Donner tes joies et ton amour
Si je te donne mon coeur, je dois
Savoir qu'aucun autre ailleurs, te voit
Te tient entre ces bras
Si je crois en toi, alors
Je t'en supplie
Encourage-moi, car je
Ne peux plus rien sans toi
Ton amour est tout pour moi, et je
Ne pourrai plus résister à t'aimer
Alors crois en moi et je
Vais croire en toi
Et tous les deux nous serons
Heureux et amoureux
Ton amour est tout pour moi, et je
Ne pourrai plus résister à t'aimer
Alors crois en moi et je
Vais croire en toi
Et tous les deux nous serons
Heureux et amoureux
Si je te donne mon coeur

When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney
When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney
(Traditional)
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
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

When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter
When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter
Composer(s): Johnny Marks
Performer(s): Gene Autry
and multiple other artists
When Santa Claus gets your letter
You know what he will say
"Have you been good the way you should
On ev'ry single day?"
When Santa gets your letter
To ask for Christmas toys
He'll take a look in his good book
He keeps for girls and boys
He'll stroke his beard, his eyes will glow
And at your name he'll peer
It takes a little time, you know
To check back one whole year!
When Santa Claus gets your letter
I really do believe
You'll head his list, you won't be missed
By Santa on Christmas Eve

Si Je Pouvais Revivre Un Jour Ma Vie
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 My Heart Finds Christmas
When My Heart Finds Christmas
Composer(s): Harry Connick Jr.
Performer(s): Harry Connick Jr.;
Stephen Trio Kummer; Jim McDonough
In my eyes are valentines
And Easter eggs and New Year's wine
But when my heart finds Christmas
My eyes will shine like new
All the days are kind to me
But fall too far behind to see
But when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too
Let the angels sing around us
Christmas time is here
Let our children's love surround us
Laughing and filled with cheer
My heart told me once before
To find my dream and search no more
And when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too

That Lucky Old Sun
That Lucky Old Sun
Composer(s): Beasley Smith; Haven Gillespie
First release by: Frankie Laine - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
Up in the morning out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat ‘til i'm wrinkled and grey
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear lord above can't you know i'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

When It's Christmas Time In Texas
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
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 cœur
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 cœur 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
That Noise
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
Can you hear it, that noise?
It’s 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 wasn’t, 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 can’t go on all day
I think I’ll just ignore it, then it’s 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, d’you mean that *>#^%$# noise?
I said, that’s right
He said, that’s funny, I can’t hear a thing
Have you ever tried to push a postman through a letterbox?
It’s 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 people’s 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?
It’s all right till you get up to his boots
I went to see a wise man who said, leave it all to me!
I’ll analyse the noise for only twice my normal fee
He came back three days later, and said
It’s tricky to explain
In fact, I don’t know what it is but there it goes again
Have you ever tried to push a wise man through twice his normal fee?
It’s all right until you get up to his letterbox
No, that can’t 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 I’m not gonna be beaten by it
I’m gonna record this hit ballad if it kills me
Because it’s 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
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
