I've Got A Heartful Of Music


I've Got A Heartful Of Music
From the film "Cowboy From Brooklyn"
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Richard A. Whiting
Performer(s): Benny Goodman; John Sheridan



Yes! I've got a heartful of music
And I've gotta burst into song
Oh! Little robin red-breast is chipper as can be
But little robin red-breast hasn't got a thing on me
No! I've got a heartful of sunshine
And I've gotta pass it along
Come on, you hurdy-girdies and you birdies above
Tune in to my heartful of music
Tune in to the music of love

Go Tell It On The Mountain


Go Tell It On The Mountain Composer(s): Traditional; John Work Jr. Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson - 1951 and multiple other artists



Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

I've Got A Feeling (We'll Be Seeing Each Other Again)


I've Got A Feeling (We'll Be Seeing Each Other Again)
Composer(s): Homer Banks; Carl Hampton
Performer(s): Al Wilson



I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again
I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again

Let’s not say goodbye
Let’s just say so long
It didn’t work out this time, girl
Chances are that we’ll get it on

'Cause I’ve got a world of faith
That we’re gonna make it someday
Some other time and situation
I know we can form a
Stronger relation

Cause I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again
Someday, someway, girl
I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again

The short time I’ve known you
I have truly found that you
Are the kind of the lady
I love to be around

But your hangups
As well as mine
Wouldn’t know how it
To happen this time

But I’m the kind
Who truly believes it
And try it again, if you
First you don’t succeed

I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again
Someday, someway, girl
I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again
Now, baby, listen to me

I’ve got the feeling
And I’m missing you
I’ve got the feeling
That you miss me too
I’ve got the feeling
That I’ll be with you
Oh, girl, miss you, too

I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again
Someday, someway, girl
I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again

Believe me
'Cause I love you
I’ve got a feeling
That we’ll be seeing
Each other again
Can’t you see it
One more time, girl

Gloucestershire Wassail


Gloucestershire Wassail
(Traditional)



Wassail, wassail all over the town!
Our bread it is white and our ale it is brown
Our bowl, it is made of the good maple tree
From the wassailing bowl we'll drink unto thee

Come, butler, and fill us a bowl of your best
And we hope your soul in Heaven may rest
But if you do bring us a bowl of the small
Then down shall go butler and bowl and all

Come here, sweet maid, in the frilly white smock
Come trip to the door and trip back the lock!
Come trip to the door and pull back the pin
And let us jolly wassailers in

Glory Alleluia!

La plus belle nuit du monde
C'est cette nuit de Noël
Où des bergers étonnés
levèrent les yeux vers le ciel
Une étoile semblait dire
"Suivez-moi, je vous conduis
Il est né cette nuit!"

Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Chantez, chantez Noël!

Ils ont suivi cette étoile
Sur les chemins de Judée
Et des quatre coins du monde
D'autres les ont imité
Et ce chant, comme une source
A traversé le pays
Il est né cette nuit!

Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Chantez, chantez Noël!

La plus belle nuit du monde
C'est cette nuit de Noël
Où, au cœur de tous les hommes
Un peu d'amour descend du ciel
Tant de choses les séparent
Cette étoile les unit
C'est la plus belle nuit!

Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Chantez, chantez Noël!

(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

Gläns Över Sjö Och Strand


Gläns Över Sjö Och Strand (Betlehems Stjärna) 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) ...

(Traditional)
Performer(s): Sandhills Sixteen

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Strumming on the old banjo

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
