It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)
It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)
Composer(s): Phil Galdston; Robbie Nevil; John Van Tongeren
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship; Mickey Thomas
Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get, get what we can
And it's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream, without a plan
(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
When push comes to shove
You got to fight for what you love
You do what you must, do what you can
(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over
(It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
(Don't go giving in)
It's not over 'til we get it right
Get it
The odds are against us
But you know we still stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over
'Til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
Don't go giving in now
It's not over 'til we get it right
Believe me
It's not over 'til it's over

Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band
and multiple other artists
I have not come, yeah, to testify
about our bad, bad misfortune and I ain't here a wond'rin' why
But I'll live on and I'll be strong

I sat down and wrote you a long letter, it was just the other day
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby, tomorrow I'll be up and on my way
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear
But in the end, baby, long towards the end of your road
don't reach out for me, babe, 'cause I'm not gonna carry your load
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear

Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Come on Christmas
Please take me away
Keep me hidden safe
'Til January's second day
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
I'll wrap myself
Up in the cheer
That's so abundant
This time of year
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
Even though it's just September
I can forget to remember
All the empty nights
Still in my way
Come on Christmas
Embrace me with some joy
'Til the last few lonely moments
Of this year have been destroyed
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
I'll just let visions of the season
Blind these worn-out sights
Still in my mind
Come on Christmas
Come on Noel
Come on Christmas

It's Not For Me To Say
It's Not For Me To Say
Composer(s): Al Stillman; Robert Allen
First release by: Johnny Mathis - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as I can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

The Gifts They Gave
The Gifts They Gave
Composer(s): John R. Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash
Jesus our King, kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable of wood
And the lowly beasts around him stood
Jesus our King, kind and good
I, said the donkey, shaggy and brown
I carried His mother up and down
I carried His mother to Bethlehem town
I, said the donkey, shaggy and brown
I, said the ox, this was my hay
I gave Him my manger, twas here that He lay
I gave Him my manger, twas here that He lay
I, said the ox, this was my hay
I, said the sheep with curly horn
I gave Him my wool for a blanket warm
He wore my coat on Christmas morn
I, said the sheep with curly horn
I, said the dove, from the rafters high
I sang Him to sleep that He would not cry
We sang Him to sleep, my love and I
I, said the dove from the rafters high
And so every heart by some good spell
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave to Emanuel
Of the gift that he gave to Emanuel

It's Not Easy Being Green
It's Not Easy Being Green
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Andy Hallett
and multiple other artists
It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water or stars in the sky
But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
like a mountain, or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine
it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be

Come Behold The Virgin Mother
Come Behold The Virgin Mother
Come behold the Virgin Mother
Fondly leaning on her child
Nature shews not such another
Glorious, holy, meek, and mild
Bethlehem's antient walls enclose him
Dwelling place of David once
Now no friendly homesteed knows him
Tho' the noblest of his sons
Many a prophecy before him
Publish'd his bright advent long
Guardian Angels low adore him
In a joyous heavenly song
Eastern Sages see with wonder
His bright Star illume the day
O'er the volumes old they ponder
Volumes of dark prophecy
Royal Bethlehem how deserted
All his pomp and splendor lost
Is a stable, vile and dirty
All the welcome you can boost?
For they travel, of inquiring
Where the wondrous babe is born?
On they came with great desiring
Although others treat with scorn
See, a babe of days and weakness
Heaven's Almighty now appears
Liable to death and sickness
Shame and agony and tears
Sovereign he and great Creator
He who form'd the heav'ns and earth
Yet takes on him human nature
Angels wonder at his birth
Why, ah, why this condescension
God with mortal man to dwell?
Why lay by his grand pretension
He who does all thrones excell?
'Tis to be a man, a brother
With us sinners of mankind
Vain we search for such another
Ne'er we love like this shall find
'Tis to make himself an offering
As a pure atoning lamb
Souls redeeming by his suffering
That in human flesh he came
As a God he could not suffer
He a body true must have
As a man what he might offer
Could not satisfy or save
Tho' an infant now you view him
He shall fill his Father's throne
Gather all the Nations to him
Every knee shall then bow down
Foes shall at his presence tremble
Great and small, and quick and dead
None can fly, none dare dissemble
None find where to hide his head
Friends! Oh then in chearful voices
They shall shout with glad acclaim
While each rising saint rejoices
Saints of high or lowest fame
Then what different appearing
We 'mong mortal tribes shall find
Groaning those who now are sneering
Triumphing the humble mind
May we now, that day forestalling
Hear the word, and read and pray
Listen to the Gospel calling
And with humble heart obey
Give us hearty true repentance
Life in faith and holiness
then we need not fear thy sentence
But may trust thy saving grace
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise the Lord

It's Not Easy
It's Not Easy
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Normie Rowe
and multiple other artists
Hey girl, what can I do with you
When you take this ol' heart and tear it in two
Is it asking so much for you to be true
I'm an easy going man who takes all that he can
But I tell you
It's not easy loving you, baby
It's not easy wanting you so
It's not easy loving you, baby
But it's harder, girl, to let you go
Harder, girl, to let you go
Girl, I give everything I've got inside
How much more do you need to keep you satisfied
I put up with so much, Lord knows I've tried
And in spite of all the pain, I try not to complain
But I tell you
It's not easy loving you, baby
It's not easy wanting you so
It's not easy loving you, baby
But it's harder, girl, to let you go
Harder, girl, to let you go
It's not easy loving you, baby
No, it's not easy
It's not easy loving you so
Loving you, baby
It's not easy loving you, baby
It's not easy
Loving you so ...

Come And See What's Happenin' In The Barn
Come And See What's Happenin' In The Barn
Composer(s): Gloria Gaither; Bill Gaither
Performer(s): Bill & Gloria Gaither
Come and see what’s happenin’ in the barn!
I’ve seen nothin’ like this since I’ve been on this farm!
Those strangers that camped out there have a baby in their arms
Come and see what’s happenin’ in the barn!
Must have been sometime ‘bout close to midnight
A big ole’ guy came knockin’ at my door
He said his wife was ‘bout to have a baby
And she just couldn’t travel anymore
I said the rooms had all been rented out
But they’d find shelter out there in the barn
They could throw some blankets in the stable
At least, they would be dry and safe from harm
Sometime before dawn I was awakened
Light was floodin’ through the windowpane
A star as bright as moonlight was a shinin’
And pretty music I could not explain
I ran downstairs to have a look around
I tell you I could not believe my eyes
A crowd had gathered all around the manger
And they were talkin’ ‘bout God’s big surprise
The shepherds said that they’d been on the hillside
Tellin’ stories just to stay awake
The baby lambs were sleepin’ near the campfire
The ewes were huddled by the stone fence gate
And then the sky just seemed to open wide
With light and sound that they could hardly bear
And what they swore were angels sang in chorus
“You’ll find the new Messiah over there.”
“Go and see what’s happening in the barn”
There’s been nothin’ like it ever happened on this farm!
The strangers that camped out there have a baby in their arms
Go and see what’s happenin’ in the barn!

Christy Christmas
Christy Christmas
Composer(s): Tony Starr - Marty Symes
Performer(s): Brenda Lee
Santa's got a brand new helper
You're the first one to be told
He wears a hat that's trimmed with fur
And his boots are made of gold
His name is Christy Christmas
He's cute as he can be
He's made of wood
`Cause Santa carved him from a Christmas Tree
Christy Christmas
Is loading Santa's Sleigh
He'll hook up all the reindeer
And they'll soon be on their way
Christy Christmas
Is Santa's pride and joy
He picks out all the presents
For each little girl and boy
Perhaps you'll get a toyland playground
Full of skates and kiddie car
It has a great big slide bar you can ride
And swing that hanging star
Christy Christmas
Will make your dreams come true
And you'll love Christy Christmas
Just as much as he loves you
Christy Christmas
Will bring you pretty toys
Like talking dolls for little girls
And choo choo trains for boys
Christy Christmas
Will serve good things to eat
He'll give your little tummy tum
A cake and candy treat
Before you go to bed this Christmas
Better leave a snack or two
They'll be someone else with Santa
When he comes to visit you
Christy Christmas
They'll make into a toy
And all you children soon can play
With Santa's little boy

Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei o miteiru
Mo tengoku no giyu no kaidan wa nai2
Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
It's no game
Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
Nani ga okkote irunoka wakara nai
Doko ni kyokun wa arunoka
Hitobito wa yubi o orareteiru
Konna dokusaisha ni iyashime rareru nowa kanashii
I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
And it's no game
Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
You throw a rock against the road
And it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
and it makes all the papers 2
Nammin no kiroku eiga
Hyoteki o se ni shita koibito tachi
Michi ni ishi o nage reba
Kona gona ni kudake
Kino ni huta o sureba
Kyohu wa masu
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
Shinbun wa kaki tateru
So where's the moral
when people have their fingers broken2
To be insulted by these fascists
it's so degrading
And it's no game
Shut up! Shutu...
Part 2:
Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
And it's no game
I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
And it's no game
Documentaries on refugees
couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road
and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
and it makes all the papers
And it's no game
Children round the world
put camel shit on the walls
They're making carpets on treadmills
or garbage sorting
And it's no game

Christmas Without You
Christmas Without You
Composer(s): Dolly Parton - Steve Goldstein
First release by: Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - 1984
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas Eve
The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you I need you
So sad but so true
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you

It's Nice To Go Trav'ling
It's Nice To Go Trav'ling
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Frank Sinatra; David Newton; Si Zentner & His Orch.
It's very nice to go trav'lin'
To Paris, London, and Rome
It's oh, so nice to go trav'lin'
But it's so much nicer
Yes, it's so much nicer to come home
It's very nice to just wander
The camel route to Iraq
It's oh, so nice to just wander
But it's so much nicer
Yes it's oh, so nice to wander back
The mam'selles and frauleins
And the senoritas are sweet
But they can't compete
'Cause they just don't have
What the models have on Madison Ave.
It's very nice to be footloose
With just a toothbrush and comb
It's oh, so nice to be footloose
But your heart starts singin'
When you're homeward wingin' 'cross the foam
And you know your fate is
Where the Empire State is
All you contemplate is the view
From Miss Liberty's dome
It's very nice to go trav'lin'
But it's oh, so nice to come home
You will find the maedchen
And the gay muchachas are rare
But they can't compare with that sexy line
That parades each day at Sunset and Vine
It's quite the life to play gypsy
And roam as Gypsies will roam
It's quite the life to play gypsy
But your heart starts singin'
When you're homeward wingin' 'cross the foam
And the Hudson River
Makes you start to quiver
Like the latest flivver
That's simply drippin' with chrome
It's very nice to go trav'ling
But it's oh, so nice to come home
No more Customs
Burn the passport
No more packin'
And unpackin'
Light the home fires
Get my slippers
Make a pizza

Christmas Without Daddy
Composer(s): Jay Lee Webb
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
Christmas Day is getting closer
But there's sadness mixed with joy
Every day a few more questions
From our little girl and boy
Not alone, but they'll be lonely
For their Daddy won't be here
And just like the air at Christmas
There'll be a chill upon the chill
Christmas without Daddy
Will be such a lonesome day
We'll send a prayer and
All our love to you so far away
Your son just wrote to Santa
Asked him to send you home
Yes Christmas without Daddy
We'll be blue and all alone
Christmas without Daddy
I don't know what we're gonna do
On the present from your baby
She wrote, "Daddy, I love you"
Your son just wrote to Santa
Asked him to send you home
Yes Christmas without daddy
We'll be blue and all alone

It's Never Too Late To Be Sorry
It's Never Too Late To Be Sorry
Composer(s): James E. Dempsey; Joseph A. Burke
I watched a sweet rose droop and die
for want of rain and wondered why
the rain drops, when at last, they came
could not restore its bloom again
you're like the rose, I'm like the rain
you wanted me and called in vain
perhaps you wondered why I'm here
I've come to say I'm sorry dear
I know on God's unerring slate the charge against me must be great
and every sinful move I've made is entered as a debt unpaid
but in the book we all know of I've found these tender words of love
"When tears of sweet contrition flow then scarlet sins are made as snow"
It's never too late to be sorry
I'm sorry I taught you to care
I wish I could lift from your shoulders the cross I have made you bear
I can't mend a heart I have broken there isn't a thing I can do
but its never too late to be sorry and God knows I'm for you

It's Christmas Eve, and snow is on the ground
Mistletoe and holly all around
Yes, all the world is happy, but since you went away
My Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
My tree is trimmed with pretty colored lights
And at the top, the Christmas star shines bright
Yes, everything around me is very bright and gay
But Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
I had a lonely September, October, November, too
But December is twice as lonely without you
For soon it will be time for Santa Claus
And surely he will bring you back, because
Without you here beside me, my world will be so gray
And Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah
