It Was Almost Like A Song
It Was Almost Like A Song
Composer(s): Hal David; Archie Jordan
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap
and multiple other artists
Once in every life
Someone comes along
And you came to me
It was almost like a song
You were in my arms
Right where you belong
And we were so in love
It was almost like a song
January through December
We had such a perfect year
Then the flame became a dying ember
All at once you weren't here
Now my broken heart
Cries for you each night
And It's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write
Now my broken heart
Cries for you each night
And It's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write
It's too sad to write

As Lately We Watched
As Lately We Watched
As lately we watch'd o'er our fields thro' the night
A star there was seen of such glorious light
All thro' the night, angels did sing
Carols so sweet of the birth of a King
A King of such beauty was ne'er before seen
And Mary His mother so like a queen
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born
His throne is a manger, His court is a loft
But troops of bright angels, in lays sweet and soft
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name
And earth, sky and air straight are filled with his fame
Then shepherds, be joyful; salute your new King
Let hills and vales ring to the song that ye sing
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born

It Was A Very Good Year
It Was A Very Good Year
((French Versions: Ma Plus Belle Année (Romuald) - 1963; C'était Une Très Bonne Année (Robert Charlebois) - 2001))
Composer(s): Ervin Drake
First release by: The Kingston Trio - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
It was a mess of good years

Arre, Burro, Arre
Arre, Burro, Arre
En la puerta de mi casa
voy a poner un petardo
"pa" reírme del que venga
a pedir el aguinaldo
Pues si voy a dar a todo
el que pide en noche buena
yo si que voy a tener
que pedir de puerta en puerta
Arre borriquito, arre burro arre
anda más deprisa que llegamos tarde
Arre borriquito vamos a Belén
que mañana es fiesta
y al otro también
Que el que quiera comer pan
que no venga a mi cena
en el portal de Belén
la Virgen es panadera
Pues si voy a dar a todo
el que pide en noche buena
yo si que voy a tener
que pedir de puerta en puerta
*Estribillo*
En el cielo hay una Estrella
que a los Reyes Magos guía
hacia Belén para ver
a Dios hijo de María
Cuando pasan los monarcas
sale la gente al camino
y a Belén se van con ellos
para ver al tierno Niño
*Estribillo*
En la puerta de mi casa
voy a poner un petardo
"pa" reírme del que venga
a pedir el aguinaldo
Pues si voy a dar a todo
el que pide en noche buena
yo si que voy a tener
que pedir de puerta en puerta

C'était Une Très Bonne Année
C'était Une Très Bonne Année ((aka Ma Plus Belle Année - (Romuald) - 1963))
((Adapted from: It Was A Very Good Year (The Kingston Trio) - 1961))
Composer(s): Ervin Drake - Robert Charlebois
Performer(s): Robert Charlebois - 2001
Quand j'avais 17 ans
C'était une très bonne année, c'était une très bonne année
Pour les filles de la ville et les douces nuits d'été
Nous nous cachions des lumières sur la place du village
Quand j'avais 17 ans
Quand j'avais 21 ans
C'était une très bonne année, c'était une très bonne année
Pour les filles des grandes villes qui vivaient dans des immeubles
Qui se parfumaient les cheveux et les détachaient
Quand j'avais 21 ans
Quand j'avais 35 ans
C'était une très bonne année, c'était une très bonne année
Pour les filles au sang bleu, aux moyens indépendants
Nous roulions en limousine, leurs chauffeurs les conduisaient
Quand j'avais 35 ans
Maintenant les jours se font courts, je suis dans l'automne de l'année
Et maintenant je compare ma vie à un vin de bon cru
Sorti de vieux tonneaux subtils de la première goutte jusqu'à la lie
Qui se déversaient sucrés et clairs
C'était une très bonne année, c'était tant de bonnes années gâchées

Arre Borriquito
Arre Borriquito
Venid, pastorcitos
venid a adorar
al Rey de los cielos
que ha nacido ya
Arre borriquito
vamos a Belén
a ver a la Virgen
y al niño también
Rústico techo
abrigo le da
por cuna un pesebre
por templo un portal
Arre borriquito
vamos a Belén
que mañana es fiesta
y al otro también
Esta noche con la luna
y mañana con el sol
a Belén caminaremos
a ver pronto al Niño Dios
Vamos, pastores, vamos
vamos a Belén
a ver a ese Niño
las glorias del Edén

((Adapted from: It Was A Very Good Year (The Kingston Trio) - 1961))
Composer(s): Ervin Drake - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Romuald - 1963
Quand j'avais 17 ans
C'était ma plus belle année
C'était ma plus belle année
Les filles gardaient leur premier baiser
Pour un soir d'été sous un ciel tremblant
Quand j'avais 17 ans
Quand j'ai eu mes 20 ans
C'était ma plus belle année
C'était ma plus belle année
Les filles rentraient au petit matin
Laissant leur parfum dans mon coeur brulant
Quand j'ai eu mes 20 ans
Quand j'ai eu 35 ans
C'était ma plus belle année
C'était ma plus belle année
Les filles pleuvaient, comme une pluie d'or
Et j'avais encore, gardé mes 20 ans
Quand j'ai eu 35 ans
Mais le temps se fait court
Et l'automne est venu
Quand je penses à la vie que j'ai connu
J'ai le coueur perdu, j'a le coeur noyé de mille beautés
Et c'est ma plus belle année
Et c'est ma plus belle année

It Was A Good Time
It Was A Good Time
Composer(s): Mike Curb; Mack David; Maurice Jarre
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli; Mike Curb
I now pronounce you for the rest of your life
I now pronounce you man and wife
It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
We would stay together and share the laughter
With never ever a morning after
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time
Since you're gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some time deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when
It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, early in the morning
Mama wakes up and she's alone
She's alone, she's alone
Mama wakes up and she's alone, early in the morning
... Falling down ... Lon ... My fair lady
Yes she looks a lot like him, yes she does, but, yes
My fair lady
Baby, baby Bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting
Daddy's gone!
... Dor-mei-vous, dor-mei-vous
Mama will stay near you, mama will be near you
Not your dad, that's too bad!
Good - bye - good - and I believed - ah-hah
Since you've gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some times deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when
It - was - a - good - time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time
A good... time...

Arbolito
English Title: Little Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Tish Hinojosa
Performer(s): Tish Hinojosa; Marlon
Arbolito, tengo siete anos, tengo pecas, yo te los regalo
Viene mamacita con luces y esferas para vestirte y ayudo
Pero, no me deja con los Icicles
La cocina de comadres manos, chocolate tamales y ajo
Donde esta mi madrina y Santo Clos, no son los regalos que quiero
Solo el paquete, para adivinar
Donde pasan los anos y suenos y abrazos viejo navidad
Amistades parientes y el Andy Williams con noche de paz
Arbolito que brillante estas!
Arbolito tengo quince anos, tu estrella ya mero alcanzo
Lo que yo deseo es secreto, te digo, se llama
Ay mama mira mi hermana no deja con los icicles
Arbolito, tengo trienta y algo, cuantas veces hemos platicado
No mijita, pon las esferas, verdad que parece Better Homes magazine,
No me importa, son mis icicles

It Took Dreams
It Took Dreams
Composer(s): Sherman
Performer(s): Annette Funicello
Dream away … Dream away … Dream away
It took dreams to cross the ocean
It took dreams for man to fly
It took dreams to build the bridges
And the buildings that reach the sky
It took dreams and crazy dreamers
For the things we have today
So if you've got a dream and you don't be afraid to follow through
No matter what they say, dream away
Christopho Columbo had a dream
Everybody said the world was flat
Christopho Columbo sailed the seas
Everybody had to eat his hat
Wilbur and his brother built a plane
Everybody said they were insane
They all began as dreams away
It took dreams to cross the ocean
(Christopho Columbo had a dream)
(Everybody said the world was flat)
It took dreams for man to fly
(Christopho Columbo sailed the seas)
(Everybody had to eat his hat)
It took dreams to build the bridges
(Wilbur and his brother built a plane)
(Everybody said they were insane)
And the buildings that reach the sky
(Everybody now once upon a shout)
(And then)
Mr. Franklyn flew his kite and key
He discovered electricity
Mr. Fulton sailed a boat by sea
All because he had a crazy dream
Moving pictures, radio, tv screens
Rockets to the moon and submarines
No matter what they say
Dream away

Another Lonely Christmas
Another Lonely Christmas
Composer(s): Prince
Performer(s): Prince & The Revolution
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for
Remember the time we swam naked in your father's pool
Boy, he was upset that night
But boy, was that ever cool
Remember that night we played pokeno for money
And U robbed me blind
Remember how U used to scream so loud cuz U...
U hated that number 9
Hey, I saw your sister skatin' on the lake this afternoon
Good heaven, how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters cuz she's so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know U are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star and I...
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for, listen
Do U still like banana daiquiris
boy we used to get so touched
U use to get so horny
U'd make me leave the lights on
I'd pay money just to see
your happy dancin' silouette upon the pier
Sometimes I think I hear U smilin
Sometimes I think your here
I find myself holding every pillow
N the bed U and I used to share
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling U shouldn't be
U shouldn't be there, cuz U see
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for, yeah
My mama used to say always trust your lover
But now I guess that only applies to her
Cuz baby, U promised me
Baby, U promised me U'd never leave
Then U died on the 25th day of December
Oh baby, last night, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, U, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care for, yeah
Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said U were dead and I...
I say it's senseless
Every Christmas night for 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind
As long as I can hear U smiling, baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine, yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that make my love shout
U see, u are the only one I care for

I see you walk with him
I see you talk to him
It tears me up
It tears me up
And start my eyes to cryin'
Oh, oh, I can't stop cryin'
I see him kiss your lips
And squeeze your fingertips
It tears me up
It tears me up
I feel like I'm dyin'
Oh, oh, I must be dyin'
It's a cold, cold world I'm livin' in
I turn my back and there you are with my best friend
Oh sometimes we pass on the street darlin'
And you looked at me and you can say, "I'm sorry, my sweet"
Maybe just saying I'm sorry would be enough
But then you'd look back at him, with your perfect smile
And that'd make me feel kind of rough
Oh darlin It tears me up
I see you smile at him
You'll never tire of him
It tears me up
It tears me up
But there ain't nothin I can do now
Baby can't you see I'm still in love with you
Oh, can't you see I'm still in love with you, baby
Still waitin for something that I cannot have
Oh, baby, nothin' tears me up so bad
Can't you see that I'm still in love with you baby
Oh, that tears me up so bad now baby ...

Another Christmas Song
Another Christmas Song
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Hope everybody's ringing on their own bell, this fine morning
Hope everyone's connected to that long distance phone
Old man, he's a mountain
Old man, he's an island
Old man, he's a-walking says
"I'm going to call, call all my children home"
Hope everybody's dancing to their own drum this fine morning
the beat of distant Africa or a Polish factory town
Old man, he's calling for his supper
Calling for his whisky
Calling for his sons and daughters, yeah
calling all his children round
Sharp ears are tuned in to the drones and chanters warming
Mist blowing round some headland, somewhere in your memory
Everyone is from somewhere
even if you've never been there
So take a minute to remember the part of you
that might be the old man calling me
How many wars you're fighting out there this winter's morning?
Maybe it's always time for another Christmas song
Old man he's asleep now
Got appointments to keep now
Dreaming of his sons and daughters, and proving
proving that the blood is strong

The First Nowell The Angel Did Say
The First Nowell The Angel Did Say - 1833 (aka First Noel - 1910)
(Danish Version: Den Allerførste Jul - 1978)
Composer(s): William Sandys; Traditional
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took it rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
and offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel

It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone
It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Leon Carr
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists
I leave the house
I catch the bus and go to work
The way I did before
The same routine
Most everyday except I guess
I see my folks much more
A year has passed
I thought by now that I could make
A new life of my own
But habits are
So hard to break
I think of you
And I still ache
It takes too long to learn to live alone
It's really bad
When Friday comes because I know
The weekend lies ahead
The walks we took
The football games
And when it rained
How late we stayed in bed
I've done so much to change the house
The attic's full memories I know
And yet the night
Turned out the light
I wait for you to say goodnight
It takes too long to learn to live alone
I go on dates but when I do
I'd always find
Before the night is thru
The same routine
Behind my smile
I'm sitting there
Comparing them to you
And in the end it's always you
I'm feeling even more when I get home
I thought that I was free of you
But I was wrong I never knew
It takes too long to learn to live alone
