It's Not Unusual
It's Not Unusual
(French Version: Je Ne Fais Pas D'histoires - 1965)
Composer(s): Les Reed; Gordon Mills
First release by: Tom Jones - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, I want to die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's just a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual, it happens every day
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at any time
It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you
Woh, woh, woh, who
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Corrido Navideño, Ranchera
Corrido Navideño, Ranchera
Composer(s): Cenobia 'Bubba' Hernandez
Performer(s): Brave Combo
En un establo humilde y pobre
En una noche obscura y fria
Nacio El Nino Jesus Cristo
De La Reina La Virgen Maria
El aliento de los animales
Dio calorcito para El Santo Niño
Su papa fue un carpintero
La Mama Virgencita y pura
La Palabra de Dios Incarnacido
Acceptaron Los Santo Novios
No hay tan grande amor como este
Servidoes de raza humana
Una gran luz salio de los cielos
Ilumino todo el santo pueblo
Y con eso llegaron tres reyes
Con incenso mirra y oro
Para alabar El Rey Infante
El hijo de Dios Posderoso
Que diche de ser uno del los pastores
Para aver estado alli esa noche
Pero an mis sueños y en mis pensamientos
Ofrenzco todas mis oraciones
Para paz y amor en la tierra

It's Not Too Late
It's Not Too Late
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): Justin Hayward
You say to me - why can’t it be
Just like it was once before
Well you lead the way and I’ll find the tree
You catch the leaves as they fall
Don’t you know that it’s not too late - the time’s not past
Don’t you know it’s not too late
And even though I tell myself - all is lost
Somewhere there’s a spark of hope
Somehow the world keeps turning
Promising a better day
Somewhere the spark is burning - away
If we were free - to do as we please
What would we change - you and I
To hold back the night - to do what is right
To live under bright blue blue sky
Don’t you know that it’s not too late - the time’s not past
Don’t you know it’s not too late
And even though I tell myself - all is lost
But somewhere there’s a spark of hope
Somehow the world keeps turning
Promising a better day
Somewhere the spark is burning - away
As we look to the horizon
Way out on the sea
We see the sun still rising
Just for you and me
When we were young - life was so strange
So complicated we would cry
But when we grow old
Will mystery hold us both in it’s spell as time goes by
Don’t you know that it’s not too late

Comment C'est Fait La Neige?
Comment C'est Fait La Neige?
English Title: Snowball
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Au coeur de la brousse africaine
Saint Nicholas fait sa tournée
Quand ils ont vu sa hotte pleine
Les petits noirs ont demandé
Avec de grands yeux étonnés
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait la neige
Et comment la reconnaîtrai-je
Lorsque j'irai dans ton pays
Dis, un sapin à quoi ça ressemble
Est-ce vrai qu'ils ont sur leurs branches
Tout plein de petites bougies
Est-c'aussi joli qu'on le dit
Pourquoi n'en a-t-on pas ici
Saint Nicholas pose sa hotte
Et cherche les petits souliers
Oui mais voilà, dans les paillotes
Il n'y a pas de cheminée
Et les petits noirs vont nu-pieds
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait la neige
Et comment la reconnaîtrai-je
Lorsque j'irai dans ton pays
Dis, un sapin à quoi ça ressemble
Est-ce vrai qu'ils ont sur leurs branches
Tout plein de petites bougies
Est-ce aussi joli qu'on le dit
Pourquoi n'en a-t-on pas ici
S'il était né dans la savane
On aurait vu Jésus l'enfant
Plutôt qu'entre le boeuf et l'âne
Venir au monde en souriant
Entre le lion et l'éléphant
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait la neige
Et comment la reconnaîtrai-je
Lorsque j'irai dans ton pays
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait un ange
Ont-ils vraiment les ailes blanches
Les mains et la figure aussi
Les anges sont-ils tous ainsi
Pourquoi n'en a-t-on pas ici
Dis ...

It's Not Supposed To Be That Way
It's Not Supposed To Be That Way
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
and multiple other artists
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
And like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
Play with real fire till the dawn
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you...

Come Rejoice All Good Christians
Come Rejoice All Good Christians
Come rejoice, all good Christians
And rejoice now, I pray
For joy our Redeemer
Was born on this day
In the city of David
And a cottage so poor
Then rejoice and be your merry
We have blessings in store
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
Our Lord he was born
Of a Virgin most pure
Within a poor stable
Both safe and secure
He was guarded most safely
With Angels so bright
Who told three poor Shepherds
Those things in the night
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
They said
Be not fearful
But to Bethlehem go
Then rejoice and be chearful
For 'tis certainly so
For a young Son to Joseph
Is in Bethlehem born
Then rejoice, all good Christians
And cease for to mourn
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
And when those three Shepherds
Did to Bethlehem come
And arrived at the stable
Then in they did run
Where they found blessed Mary
With Jesus her Son
There they found our Lord sleeping
And thus they begun
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
With the sweetest Hallelujah
The Heavens did rejoice
With the Saints and the Angels
And all with sweet voice
Crying Glory and honour
To our Heavenly King
In the clouds of the air
Then this Host they did sing
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
Then well may we Christians
That dwell on the earth
Rejoice and be glad
For sweet Jesus his birth
Who brought us salvation
If we mind but the same
Then let all in the nation
Sing praise to his name
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
With true zeal and honour
Let us joyfully sing
In praise of our salvation
To our Heavenly King
To our Heavenly Father
That remaineth above
And to our dear Saviour
That redeem'd us with love
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day

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

about our bad, bad misfortune and I ain't here a wond'rin' why

But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'cause it just ain't my cross to bear

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

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

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
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
