Ivy (Cling To Me)
Ivy (Cling To Me)
Composer(s): Isham Jones; Jimmy Johnson; Alex Rodgers
Ivy, Ivy, way down on South Car'lina
You're a heart entwiner Ivy, Ivy
Will you be waiting for me like you said you'd be
Ivy, Ivy, if you would write me maybe
I could stand it baby, but you won't
Should if you don't
I'm comin' back to Carolina and bring my love with me
And Ivy maybe when you see just how sweet I can be
And when you see the load of love I am bringing
Around my heart again I know you'll be clinging
Ivy, come on cling I'll bring a wedding ring Oh
Ivy won't you come and wrap yourself
all around my heart
Ivy, Ivy, steam engines jus' a hummin'
Ivy, I'm acomin' Ivy, Ivy
Jus' like I told you I'd be comin'
home to you Ivy, Ivy
My heart with love's so loaded
Hard for me to tote it
Hope an' trust, should my heart bust
You'll know it busted bringin'
all of my love back home to you
And Ivy maybe when you see just how sweet I can be
And when you see the load of love I am bringing
Around my heart again I know you'll be clinging
Ivy, come on cling I'll bring a wedding ring Oh
Ivy won't you come and wrap yourself
all around my heart

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Ivory Tower
Composer(s): Jack Fulton; Lois Steele
Performer(s): Cathy Carr
and multiple other artists
Come down, come down from your ivory tower
Let love come into your heart
Don't lock yourself in an ivory tower
Don't keep us so far apart
I love you, I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?
Come down, come down from your ivory tower
You'll find true love has its charms
It's cold, so cold, in your ivory tower
And warm, so warm in my arms
I love you, I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?
Come down, come down from your ivory tower
You'll find true love has its charms
It's cold, so cold, in your ivory tower
And warm, so warm in my arms

First performance by: Waltham Abbey Choir - 1855
Covered by multiple other artists
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th' angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of the favoured one
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
Hail, th'incarnate Deity
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!
Hail! the heaven-born
Prince of peace!
Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the son of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!"

I've Waited So Long
I've Waited So Long
Composer(s): Jerry Lordan
Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Cal Tjader
(So long, I've waited so long
So long, I've waited so long)
I've waited so long, a lifetime it seems
For someone to step right out of my dreams
All that an angel could be
And meant for only me
Play me a tune, haunting and blue
Tell me of dreams that never come true
Sing me a lonely song
Till she comes along
It will be so wonderful
When love comes my way
No more lonely hours
They'll just fade away
Some day we'll meet, somewhere I know
We'll kiss and say "I love you so"
Darling, surely I can't be so wrong
For I've waited, yes I've waited
So very lo-o-ong
So long, my darling
So long, my darling, darling

Hark! Hark! What News The Angels Bring
Hark! Hark! What News The Angels Bring
Composer(s): William Sandys
Hark, Hark! what news the Angels bring
Glad tidings of a new-born King
Who is the Saviour of mankind
In whom we may salvation find
This is the day, the blessed morn
The Saviour of mankind was born
Born of a maid, a Virgin pure
Born without sin, from guilt secure
Hail, blessed Virgin, full of grace!
Blessed above all mortal race
Whose blessed womb brought forth in one
A God, A Savior, and a Son
A perfect God, a perfect man
A mystery which no man can
Attain to, tho' he's e'er so wise
Till he ascent above the skies
Arise, my soul, and then, my voice
In hymns of praise early rejoice
His fame extol and magnify
Upon those errands Angels fly
As Angels sung at Jesus' birth
Sure we have greater cause for mirth
For why, it was for our sake
Christ did our human nature take
Dear Christ, thou didst thyself debase
Thus to descent to human race
And leave thy Father's throne above
Lord, what could move thee to this love?
Man that was made out of the dust
He found a paradise at first
But see the God of Heaven and earth
Laid in a manger at his birth
Surely the manger where he lies
Doth figure out his sacrifice
And by his birth all men may see
A pattern of humility
Stupendous Babe! my God and King
Thy praises I will ever sing
In joyful accents raise my voice
And in my praise of God rejoice
My soul, learn by thy Saviour's birth
For to debase thyself on earth
That I may be exalted high
To live with him eternally
I am resolved whilst here I live
As I'm in duty bound, to give
All glory to the Deity
One God alone in persons three

Made my heart an open book
Why haven't I told you
Friends ask me am I in love
I always answer yes
Might as well confess
If I don't they guess
Maybe you may know it too
Oh my darling if you do
Why haven't you told me

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so this is Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over!
If you want it
War is over!
Now!

Johnny boy
Take it slow
Don't you know
Don't you know
She may kiss you like I do
She may hold you like I do
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never love you like I do
She may whisper you're her only
That without you she is lonely
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never love you like I do
She may sigh, you may fall
And she'll never be at home when you call
Can't you tell by her smile
She just wants your heart to play with for awhile
Take it slow
Take it slow
Don't you know
Don't you know
She may kiss you like I do
She may hold you like I do
But she'll never
No never never
She will never never love you like I do

Performer(s): Connie Francis
and multiple other artists
Another year is almost through
It's new year's eve and I'm with you
Happy happy new year baby

Tick tock, two lovers watch the clock
As the old year slowly slips away
I pray, one year from today
We'll be embracin' in the same old way
Now's the time, dim the light
It's twelve o'clock so hold me tight

It's twelve o'clock, so hold me, hold me tight
Happy happy new year baby
It's been a year I won't forget

I've Taken A Liking To You
I've Taken A Liking To You
Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr; W.C. Powell
Since we first met, my heart's been set in winning your love some day
your eyes of blue, show you'll be true, if cupid will lead the way
Your golden hair, 'tis not rare, seems different from all the rest
I've liked a score, but I think more and more that you're by far the best
'Tis true, they say, that some fine day, your fate you will meet at last
now if that's so, then I will know that day has come for me just passed
For I can see, you have won me, and wouldn't it be right fine
if I but knew I could only win you, to tell me you'll be mine
I've taken a liking to you, yes you, that's true
there's something about you that charms, your smile, your style
in all this wide world there's but few, like you, to woo
so tell me you may learn to like me someday, for I've taken a liking to you

Happy New Year (Nat King Cole)
Happy New Year
Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins
Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists
The snow makes teardrops on my window
The wind blows memories through my hall
And I am all alone on New Year's eve
The time I need you most of all
The gay ones don their silly paper hats
And blow their stupid little horns
At midnight they will all be singing Auld Lang Syne
But the sad ones sit alone before the fire and sip a glass of lonely wine
I wish you a Happy New Year darling
May your new love be bright and fair
I hope he'll do those special things for you
That I would do if I were there.
I love the days we spent together
Before the old year lost it's shine
I'll keep that memory locked within my heart
That Happy New Year you were mine

I've Seen That Face Before
I've Seen That Face Before
(Adapted from: Libertango - 1974)
Composer(s): Astor Piazzolla; Nathalie Delon; Barry Reynolds; David Wilkey
First release by: Grace Jones - 1981
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard
Parisian music, drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort
Tu te prends pour qui, toi aussi tu detestes la vie
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise
un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré

Happy New Year (ABBA)
Happy New Year
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA;
and various other artists
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Happy Holidays Y'all
Happy Holidays Y'all
Composer(s): Robert Earl Keen
Performer(s): The Wacky Redneck Hillbillies
There is a Barbie doll in the gravy boat up on mom's TV set
An angel made of Styrofoam holds Rita's cigarette
Santa waves an empty beer in his plastic hand
Everyone is here again, it's Christmastime again
You know the kids are in their sleepin' bags with every kind of toy
And Ken and Kay have hit the hay in dadâs new La-Z-Boy
Fran has got a cozy spot beneath the Christmas tree
Sittin' in his underwear, drunk as he can be
Last night we stuffed our stockings and hung the mistletoe
When Santa Claus came knocking, he looked like Uncle Joe
Someone put the coffee on and find the Tylenol
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y'all
Of course old dad got mom a flannel robe and Ken a socket set
Mom got Kay a super value pack of Nicorette
And Kay got Ken a NordicTrack and a new guitar for me
Ken got sister Spanish speaking lessons on CD
Last night we all sang Jingle Bells and opened up our hearts
This morning our house looks like hell or possibly Wal-Mart
Someone clean the gravy boat and dress the Barbie doll
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y'all
We're makin' mimosas on the deck and packin' the U-haul
Merry Christmas everyone, God bless us one and all

I've Passed This Way Before
I've Passed This Way Before
Composer(s): James Dean; William Weatherspoon
Performer(s): Jimmy Ruffin; Scotty; The Temptations
Life lends a crushing blow
And once again a heart is broken
And as history repeats itself
These few words are sadly spoken
I’ve passed this way before
And I’ve felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again
As I watch love walking away
It brings back old memories
A familiar pain still feels the same
Once again heartache has found me
A dark cloud covered my heart
Oh, when she told me goodbye
Now there’s nothing left but emptiness
And the tears that fill my crying eyes
I’ve passed this way before
And I’ve felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again
No matter how strong a man is
Without love he walks in the dark
If love deserts him it will surely hurt him
Cos his weakness is his heart
A lonely journey now stands before me
The endless pain has started
But this time I know the way
Walking alone and broken hearted
It so hard to face reality
Knowing loneliness is my destiny
Because I’ve passed this way before
And I’ve felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again

Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays
Composer(s): Ron Rogers; Swain Schaefer
Performer(s): Alabama; Tom Chepokas
Smilin' faces on city streets
Crowded shoppers and busy feet
And every smile just seems to say
We're having some Happy Holidays
Twinklin' lights on Christmas trees
Kids up on old Santa's knee
And busy lines on telephones
Sending a Merry Christmas home
Bells are ringin' everywhere
Season's spirits in the air
Up and down the avenue
Holiday dreams are comin' true
A choir singing songs of cheer
Carols we all love to hear
And Rudolph with his glowin' nose
And lovers under mistletoe
Postman bringin' Christmas cards
Reindeer out in the yard
And Frosty with his eyes of coal
And presents wrapped in pretty bows
Sidewalks full of happy eyes
Flakes fallin' from the sky
And boys and girls at the big parade
To see Ssint Nick up on his sleigh
The scene is set, it's beautiful
Sounds of peace, joy and love
From all of us we'd like to say
Have yourself some Happy Holidays
