It's Your World
It's Your World
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins
It's your world and your smile turns on my sunshine
You have all the power it takes to make me blue
You control the way I feel both day and night time
It's your world and I'm just passin' through
Let me live, let me live
Let me live in, live in your world
If only for part of the time
There must be, there must be
Oh sweet love, love in your world
'Cause there just isn't any in mine
It's your world and I don't belong in it
Foolishly I keep pretending that I do
From the start you've made it plain that you don't want me
It's your world and I'm just passin' through

For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas
For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas
Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Dean Dillon
Performer(s): George Strait
Let there be not one stranger to away in a manger
Let there be not one soul left untold
Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one
Who will gather the force
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ's sake let everyone know
They all have the choice so lift up your voice
Make sure they know by Christmas Eve
Pray that everyone sees
That we've opened the eyes that were closed
For Christ's sake it's Christmas
And for Christ's sake let everyone know
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ's sake let everyone know
They all have the choice so lift up your voice
Make sure they know by Christmas Eve
Pray that everyone sees
That we've opened the eyes that were closed
For Christ's sake it's Christmas
And for Christ's sake let everyone know

It's Your Turn
It's Your Turn
Composer(s): John Entwistle
Performer(s): The Who
Up here on the ledge
I'm getting pushed to the edge
People line up behind me to step into my shoes
Up here in the precipice
I'm getting close to my nemesis
People fighting each other to jump into my blues
There's a young kid inside me somewhere
He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies
With the blood and the moon in his eyes
I hear his voice when I'm comin' down
Sleep is for fools, whe never see the sunrise
Who never get to live twice
I was a face in a magazine
When you were still playin' with your plasticine
Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream
You can take the fans and the enemies
The little girls who squeeze and tease
Then pass on their social disease
Go get your penicillin
I know you young and dumb
I know where you're comin' from
Don't know where you're goin' to
But I bin there same as you
You're running out of ideas
And new hats to try on
I know you middle age
Same song, different page
I know what you're goin' through
Made the same mistakes as you
All you want is some hope
And a shoulder to cry on
There's a stranger inside me somewhere
That shadow behind me, don't even look like me
An echoed apology
He's a wolf in sheep disguise
I wake up in places I don't even recognize
Pretender in paradise
It's your turn, step up and take it
If you've got the guts to hang on
You can make
C'mon, c'mon, come on
Ooooh take it!

First Christmas In Love
First Christmas In Love
Composer(s): Janice Kapp Perry
Performer(s): The Perry Family
Are the lights a little brighter this year
Is the snow a little whiter this year
Is the glow from the fireplace
as soft as it seems
It wraps me with happiness
fills me with dreams
Is my step a little quicker this year
Is my heart a little bigger this year
Maybe nothing has changed
but it seems so because
It's my first Christmas In love
There s magic in the music this year
There is joy in every carol I hear
And the sweet Christmas feelings
the sights and the sounds
Are somehow more wonderful
this time around
Is my smile a little brighter this year!
Is the world a little righter this year?
Maybe nothing has changed
but it seems so because
It s my first Christmas in love
All the wonders of Christmas
have been there before
Bur this year it seems to mean
so much more!
It's our first Christmas In love
It's the best Christmas that ever was
Through the years we remember
This season because it
was our first Christmas in love
Spoken "Isn't that the misteltoe?"

Do what you wanna do
Tell ya
Who to sock it to
I know it's your thing
You can do what you like
but if you want some good loving don't take all night
I knew it from the start you had a real big heart
Tried to hide what you feel when you shouldn't just chill
You like bein' served with a silver spoon
Well, you met the right guy, never serve too soon
Oh, I like the way you talk when you look in my eye
I can read between the lines, let's go for a ride
If you want me to love you, maybe I will
Believe me woman, it ain't no big deal
Hon' you need love now, just as bad as I do
Makes me no difference, now, who you give your thing to
Ow, it's your thing
Do what you wanna do
Oh, baby I can't tell you

Oh, baby I can't tell you

First Christmas
First Christmas
Composer(s): Stan Rogers
Performer(s): Stan Rogers;
The Black Family; The McCalmans
This day a year ago
He was rolling in the snow
With a younger brother in his father's yard
Christmas break, a time for touching home
The heart of all he'd known
And leaving was so hard
Three thousand miles away
Now he's working Christmas Day
Making double time for the minding of the store
Well he always said, he'd make it on his own
He's spending Christmas Eve alone
First Christmas away from home
She's standing by the train station
Pan-handling for change
Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
Looks like the Sally Ann place after all
In a crowded sleeping hall
That echoes like a tomb
But it's warm and clean and free
And there are worse places to be
At least it means no beating from her Dad
And if she cries because it's Christmas Day
She hopes that it won't show
First Christmas away from home
In the apartment stands a tree
And it looks so small and bare
Not like it was meant to be
Golden angel on the top
It's not that same old silver star
You wanted for your own
First Christmas away from home
In the morning, they get prayers
Then it's crafts and tea downstairs
Then another meal back in his little room
Hoping maybe that "the boys"
Will think to phone before the day is gone
Well, it's best they do it soon
When the "old girl" passed away
He fell apart more every day
Each had always kept the other pretty well
But the kids all said the nursing home was best
Cause he couldn't live alone
First Christmas away from home
In the common room they've got the biggest tree
And it's huge and cold and lifeless
Not like it ought to be
And the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
It's not that same old silver star
You once made for your own
First Christmas away from home

For Your Country And My Country
For Your Country And My Country
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): George Gershwin; Frances Alda; Irving Berlin
We know you love your land of liberty
We know you love your U.S.A.
But if you want the world to know it
Now's the time to show it
Your Uncle Sammy needs you one and all
Answer to his call
For your country and my country
With millions of real fighting men
It's your duty and my duty
To speak with the sword, not a pen
If Washington were living today
With sword in hand he'd stand up and say
For your country and my country
I'll do it all over again
America has opened up her heart
To ev'ry nationality
And now she asks of ev'ry nation
Their appreciation
It makes no diff'rence now from where you came
We are all the same

The Gift (Randy Travis)
The Gift
Composer(s): P. Moore; Ray Scott
Performer(s): Randy Travis
He was born in Bethlehem they say
There was a star to light the path to where He lay
Rich or poor they came from far and near
'Cause they'd all heard the reason He was here
He was the Son God sent to one and all
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross
Born to die so we could live
He had the birthday, we got the gift
They wrapped him up with gentle hands
God hoped the world would understand
Eternal life we shall receive
And all that He asks in return is that we just believe
He was the Son God sent to one and all
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross
Born to die so we could live
He had the birthday, we got the gift
There's no way in this world we could repay
The miracle He gave us on that day
He was the Son God sent to one and all
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross
born to die so we could live
He had the birthday, we got the gift
On our Savior's birthday, we got the gift

First release by: The Meteors - 1979
Let's say goodbye to our friends of the night (ni, ni, ni)
There's nothing for us here
Always been longing for a moment like this (oh, oh, oh)
Don't want to waste it here
Isn't it strange how sure you can be when you find the one you want
Isn't it strange how crazy you go when you finally won the one that you want
A moment like this (oh, oh, oh)
Maybe baby, we can make it
It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
But It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
I'm loosing my heart for you
And I'm prepared to lose my life
Ermmmm, Mein Schmertz
Maybe, we can make it
Maybe, maybe, we can make it
It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
But It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
It's You, It's You, Only You
It's You, It's You, Only You
But It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
It's You, It's You Mein Schmertz ...

It's You Or No One
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Sammy Cahn
First performance by: Doris Day - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists
How did I know know that the warmth of the glow would last
And how did I guess that the long loneliness was past?
I merely looked at you, and I knew, then and there I knew
It's you or no one for me
I'm sure of this each time we kiss
Now and forever and when forever's done
You'll find that you are still the one
So please don't say "no" to my plea
'Cause if you do, then I'm all through
There's this about you: my world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me
It's a matter of now and forever, when forever is all done
You'll find that you are still the one
So please don't say "no" to my plea
'Cause if you do, then I'm all through
There's this about you: my world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

Feels Like Christmas
Feels Like Christmas
Composer(s): Eric Bazilian; Rob Hyman; Cyndi Lauper
Performer(s): Cyndi Lauper
If you want to see me
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time
Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...
Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...

Look out here he comes
Father Christmas is on the run
If you see him you'll have some fun
Father Christmas is coming to everyone

And he's bringing chocolates
Milk chocolate candy
Ribbons tied up in bows
Little boxes that shine an sparkle
Boy how those chocolates make your taste buds grow
He lives in a land where there are chocolate trees
And all the leaves are jelly babies
The rivers and lakes are lemonade
And all the houses are made of ginger nut cake

Father Christmas (The Kinks)
Father Christmas
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad
But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy
Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the meanest man in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world, you can feel it
He’s a miser
He’s a skinflint
He’s a stingy lout
Leave your stocking out
For your Christmas gift and he’ll steal it
It’s a shame
He’s a villain
What a game
For a villain to play on Christmas day
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
Will be just as mean
As he’s ever been
And I’m here to say
We should all send Father Christmas
On his merry Christmas way
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the rottenest man in the universe
And there’s no one worse, you can tell it
He’s a rascal
He’s a bandit
He’s a crafty one
Leave your door undone
He’ll move in your house and sell it
It’s a crime
It’s a scandal
What a game
For a vandal to play on Christmas day
If you distrust
Father Christmas
It’s as well to know
That I told you so
‘Cause I’m here to say
We should all send Father Christmas
Father Christmas, Father Christmas
Father Christmas, Father Christmas
On his merry Christmas way
Reprise
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the greatest man in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world and he knows it
Every Christmas
Father Christmas
Puts a great big sack
On his dear old back
‘Cause he loves us all
And he shows it
And he goes for a sleighride
In the snow and he may ride all night
And that’s all right
In the morning
Christmas morning
If you lift your eyes
There’s a big surprise
Underneath the tree
It’s a gift from Father Christmas
From Father Christmas
That’s how Christmas will appear
