(I've Got A) Crush On You
(I've Got A) Crush On You
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin)
First performance/First recording by: Mary Hay & Clifton Webb/Lee Wiley & Max Kaminsky's Orch. - 1928/1939
Covered by multiple other artists
How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sign
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

Composer(s): Viktor Rydberg; Ivar Widén; Alice Tégner
Performer(s): Peter Jöback
and multiple other artists
Gläns över sjö och strand, stjärna ur fjärran
du som i Österland tändes av Herran!
Stjärnan från Betlehem leder ej bort men hem
Barnen och herdarna följa dig gärna
strålande stjärna, strålande stjärna
Natt över Judaland, natt över Sion
Borta vid västerrand slocknar Orion
Herden som sover trött, barnet som slumrar sött
vakna vid underbar korus av röster
skåda en härligt klar stjärna i öster
Gånga från lamm och hem, sökande Eden
stjärnan från Betlehem visar dem leden
Stjärnan från Betlehem leder ej bort men hem
Barnen och herdarna följa dig gärna
strålande stjärna, strålande stjärna

I've Gone And Lost My Little Yo-Yo
I’ve Gone And Lost My Little Yo-Yo
Composer(s): Fred Shuff; Walter Kemp
Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Hello old chap, you’re looking miserable
Alan:
So would you be miserable
I’m sad and disappointed
I’m as sore as I can be
When the missus finds what’s happened
She’ll be more upset than me
There’ll be no peace for me at home
It’s sure to cause some strife
I’ve lost the only thing that seemed
To charm our married life
I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
It means we’ll have to part
It’s sure to break her heart
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo
I did all kind of tricks with it
Could trail it on the ground
I could swing it up and swing it down
And swing it round and round
I’ll have to get another one
No matter what it costs
It may not please the missus
Like the one I’ve gone and lost
I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
Sher’ll take the only course
And sue for a divorce
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo
I showed it to Matilda
She’s the barmaid at the Crown
I taught her how to play with it
And swing it up and down
It fairly took her fancy
P’rhaps she’s stolen it from me
I dare not tell the wife
In case it causes jealousy
I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
She’ll miss it, there’s no doubt
She’s sure to throw me out
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo

Giving (Santa's Theme)
Giving (Santa's Theme)
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that ev'ryone can share
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care
If you show love in small ways
It is always there
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living
What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart
In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that ev'ryone can share
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care
If you show love in small ways
It is always there
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living
What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart

I've Found Someone Of My Own
I've Found Someone Of My Own
Composer(s): Frank Robinson
Performer(s): Free Movement
and multiple other artists
I got up this morning
While I was having my coffee
My woman came in, sat down by my side
With tears in her eyes
She said ´I´ve a confession to make´
I said ´Woman, speak what´s on your mind´
She said ´I´ve found somebody new
To take your place´
´I said don´t feel so all alone
I´ve found someone of my own´
´All those lonely nights
You left me all alone
My true love would call
And talk to me on the phone´
I said ´Woman, if that´s the way it´s gotta be
Then darlin, don´t you worry about me´
She said ´ I´ve found somebody new
To take your place´
´I said don´t feel so all alone
I´ve found someone of my own´
I got up from the table
Reached down and wiped the tears
From her face
I put out my cigarette
Turned and walked away
She said ´I´ve found somebody new
To take your place´
´I said don´t feel so all alone
I´ve found someone of my own´

I've Found Love
I've Found Love
Composer(s): Bill Kimber
Performer(s): Sharon Tandy
I thought that love was for the birds
Now I've found love, I can't find words
To explain how I feel
Now I know love is real
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in love
I found that when you came along
You proved to me that I was wrong
To have pushed love aside
Without ever havin' tried
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in love
Somehow I'm scared, and then again
I feel so glad that I met you
I've never, ever been so sure
Now I've got you, I don't want more
For you've changed ev'rything
With the love that you bring
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in love
Somehow I'm scared, and then again
I feel so glad that I met you
I've never, ever been so sure
Now I've got you, I don't want more
For you've changed ev'rything
With the love that you bring
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in lo-o-o-ove

Give Love On Christmas Day
Give Love On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Berry Gordy Jr.; Fonce Mizell;
Freddie Perren; Deke Richards
Performer(s): The Jackson Five;
and various other artists
People making lists, buying special gifts
It's a time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year when good friends are dear
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smiling out hello
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once a year, when the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know that there's one cares
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas Day)
Oh every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) ...

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day

Dinah, won't you blow

And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

I've Been This Way Before
I've Been This Way Before
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Sarah Brightman
I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I've seen your eyes before
And I'm sure to see your eyes again
For I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've sung my song before
And I'm sure to sing my song again
Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
Some people got to make it through
By never wondering why
Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die
But I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
One more time again
Just one more time

Gesu Bambino
Gesu Bambino
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose
The King of Love and Light
The angels sang, the shepherds sang
The grateful earth rejoiced
And at His blessed birth the stars
Their exultation voiced
O Come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night
that gave the world it's Christmas Rose
It's king of Love and Light
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name
The grateful chorus swell
From paradise to earth He came that we with Him might dwell
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Ah! O come let us adore Him
Ah! O come let us adore Him
Ah! Adore Him, Christ, the Lord
O come, O come
O come let us adore Him
Let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord

I've Been Thinking About You
Composer(s): Jimmy Chambers; George Chandler; Haenshall; Jimmy Helms
Performer(s): Londonbeat
and multiple other artists
We must have been stone crazy
when we thought we were just friends
'Cause I miss you, baby
And I've got those feelings again
I guess I'm all confused about you
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!
Suddenly we're strangers
I watch you walking away
She was my one temptation
Oh, I did not want her to stay
Deep down, I'm still confused about you
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!
What good is being her without you?
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gary Prim
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger
There He lay, the undefiled
To the world a Stranger
Such a Babe in such a place
Can he be the saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favour
Angels sang about His birth
Wise men sought and found Him
Heaven's star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight
Heard the angels singing
All the plains were lit that night
All the hills were ringing
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger
He is still the undefiled
But no more a Stranger
Son of God of humble birth
Beautiful the story
Praise His Name in all the earth
Hail! the King of Glory!

I've Been There Too
I've Been There Too
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After
There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is crying, it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?
Your soul is aching, you can't see it through
But time is healing each day you do
Keep looking forward, forget the past
It's up to you now, don't let it last
You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
You'll wake up one morning, you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'Cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep looking forward, the sun will come through
You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ
Dass du Mensch geboren bist

Es leucht't wohl mitten in der Nacht
Und uns des Lichtes Kinder macht
Kyrieleis!
Das hat er alles uns getan
Sein' gross' Lieb' zu zeigen an
Des freu' sich alle Christenheit
Und dank' ihm des in Ewigkeit
Kyrieleis!

I've Been Married Just As Long As You Have
I've Been Married Just As Long As You Have
Composer(s): Dolly Parton; Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Dolly:
Last night you went out again
With what you said was your best friend
You say you need some time away from me
The sun was high when you got in
But not as high as you had been
And I wonder how you would act
If I done just the way I pleased
I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things
Just the same as you have
Well let me tell you this, big boy
When you go out for a night of joy
You better start taking me along
Or you'll be singing a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have
Porter:
While I'm working hard all day
you run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expence
But you cry and carry on
When I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence
I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things
Just the same as you have
So let me tell you this, sweetheart
I figure I've done my part
So don't get cute and get so smart
I'll tell you this before you start
I've been married just as long as you have
Dolly:
And that's a pretty good while
Porter:
Honey, you're the cat I've spent nine lives with
Dolly:
I know you have, you ain't spent no time at home
You're running around all over town
You're here and there everywhere
Porter
And if I could stand you long enough
I might stay at home a little more
Dolly:
You move so fast a umbrella'd be in your way, honey
If it was raining
Porter:
Oh boy, now ain't that cute
If your heart was as big as your mouth
You'd give everything we owned away
Dolly:
But I love you, you little devil
So don't you ever take off and leave me now here by myself
I'll hit you right in the
Porter:
I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust you with yourself
Dolly:
I'll hit you right in the mouth, honey, and it'll go
Porter:
You will, golly!
Dolly:
Ah, but then you'll look like you've had the mumps
When I get done kissing you
Porter:
Why don't you do it now, I ain't had the mumps
Dolly:
I'm a-gonna do it, here it goes, golly
I'll get you in line, that's true
Porter:
Ho-hoo, woman you're killing me, but I love every minute of it

Composer(s): Steve Cropper; Carla Thomas; Vincent Trauth
Performer(s): Carla Thomas
Hello there, Merry Christmas, how've you been
Gee, it's so good to talk to you again
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to wish you a Merry Christmas
My best friend's having a party and everbody's going
I know it's gonna be alot of fun, oh, by the way, it's snowing
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas
It's funny that I never thought to call you before
And why didn't I ever see you around anymore
Another year has passed, and I can't erase
The memory of your smiling face
So I had to call you up and say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas
So don't forget the party that's just growing
The warm fire from the fireplace will be glowing
It's been a long, long time
I still can't figure out why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas
I'm wishing you a Merry
Have a Merry, Merry Christmas
Gee whiz ...
