I Know What I Want For Christmas
I Know What I Want For Christmas
Composer(s): Charlie Black; Dana Hunt
Performer(s): George Strait
This the season for generosity
A time to give and to receive
My Christmas list consists of just one sweet dream....
I know what I want for Christmas this year
I hope my note got to Santa on time
I’m a little bit nervous,
It’s kind of a big thing I’m asking for
I don’t know if I deserve it but, boy, if I get it
I’ll never ask for anything more
It shines, it’s new
And it’s the one wish that I wish would come true
This year for Christmas I just wanna be with you
We can build a little fire
We can sit and talk for hours
We’ll just have fun
You can tell me what you did
Christmas morning as a kid
And we’ll talk about all our Christmases to come
And if I hang a little mistletoe in every single doorway
I’m sure to get a kiss
And is it too much to ask for a snowman kind of snow
To complete this singular wish?
It shines, it’s new
I know what I want and nothin’ else will do
This year for Christmas I just want to be with you
This year for Christmas I just want to be with you

Sag Mir Wo
Sag Mir Wo
Performer(s): Freddy Quinn
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
liegt ein Land
das fremde Füáe nie betreten?
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
liegt der Strand
wo alte Spuren Iängst verwehten?
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
gibt es Seen
die wie klare Spiegel scheinen
glänzt das Sonnenlicht auf unbewohnten Steinen
Sag
wo gibt es noch das letzte paradies?
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
gibt es Menschen
die nicht nur nach Reichtum streben?
Sag mir wo - sag mir wo
gibt es Menschen
die noch frei und glücklich leben?
Sag mir wo - gibt es Mädchen
die sich für ein ganzes Leben lang verlieben?
Wo sind alle diese Wunder denn geblieben?
Sag
wo gibt es noch ein letztes paradies?
Sag
wo gibt es noch ein letztes Paradies?

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte;
and various other artists
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar Carols play
And wide and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth good will to man
I thought as now this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rung so long the unbroken song
Of peace on earth good will to man
And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and marks the song
Of peace on earth good will to man
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does he sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth good will to man

Saffron Dormouse And Lizzy Bee
Composer(s): Roger Glover
Performer(s): Roger Glover
Saffron Dormouse:
Pots and pans all spick and span
hanging there in a tidy row
careful Tom don't scuff up the floor
please don't make me scrub it again today
we're on our way to the ball
Lizzy Bee:
All day long I'm working like a slave
but you'll never hear me complain
in the sunshine or the rain
Saffron Dormouse:
I've been asleep all Winter
and now the spring is here
it's time for you to hear my song
Lizzy Bee:
(hope it's not too long)
Saffron Dormouse:
Every room is clean and bright
now we'd better be on our way
Tom make sure you've got everything
lock the door and give me the key
let's go to see the show at the ball
Lizzy Bee:
Back to work tomorrow, but tonight
going to eat and dance 'till I fall
at the feast and at the ball

I Hate People
I Hate People
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Scavengers and sycophants and flatterers and fools
Pharisees and parasites and hypocrites and ghouls
Calculating swindlers, prevaricating frauds
Perpetrating evil as they roam the earth in hordes
Feeding on their fellow men
Reaping rich rewards
Contaminating everything they see
Corrupting honest me like me
Humbug! Poppycock! Balderdash! Bah!
I hate people! I hate people!
People are despicable creatures
Loathesome inexplicable creatures
Good-for-nothing kickable creatures
I hate people! I abhor them!
When I see the indolent classes
Sitting on their indolent asses
Gulping ale from indolent glasses
I hate people! I detest them! I deplore them!
Fools who have no money spend it
Get in debt then try to end it
Beg me on their knees befriend them
Knowing I have cash to lend them
Soft-hearted me! Hard-working me!
Clean-living, thrifty and kind as can be!
Situations like this are of interest to me
I hate people! I loathe people! I despise and abominate people!
Life is full of cretinous wretches
Earning what their sweatiness fetches
Empty minds whose pettiness stretches
Further than I can see
Little wonder I hate people
And I don't care if they hate me!

Safety In Numbers
Safety In Numbers
Composer(s): Joe Macre; Rick Witkowski
Performer(s): Crack The Sky
There's so many people
Going to the races
They paint on their faces
And smile
They watch the days fly by
And don't even ask why
Meanwhile
The world that surrounds them
Looks whithered and half dead
And even your own head's been there
You feel the depression
And join the procession
Nowhere
As you march in the madness
You crawl with the sadness
That you might not leave the parade
While the drummers are pounding
You hear this astounding voice say:
"Don't fear
Come here
Don't cry
Stand by
There's safety in numbers
And numbers don't lie
Don't lie"
As the troops keep progressing
You notice you've fallen behind
And you're calling in fear
But they're just too caught up
In the way they've been brought up to here
You halt for a minute
And consider this strange voice
Could this be your choice to lead?
You hold the depression
And watch the procession procede
As the stranger gets nearer
His image gets clearer
He calls out and you hear him say
"You've issued a May Day
And May will be home for the day
So
Don't fear
Come here
Don't cry
Stand by
There's safety in numbers
And numbers don't lie
Don't lie"
To yourself when yourself is
Telling you that you're all
That you have so just listen to
You
So exit the madness
And enter the gladness
And you will become quite aware
You can end the depression
And join the procession somewhere
And
"Don't fear
Come here
Don't cry
Stand by
There's safety in numbers
And numbers don't lie
Don't lie"

I Guess It's Christmas Time
I Guess It's Christmas Time
Composer(s): Peter Bliss; Shelly Peiken
Performer(s): *NSync
Feel the magic in the air
Christmas is all around
Somethin' about this special time of year
A blanket of snow falls down from the sky
Voices of angels
Open our hearts so we can open our arms
And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time
Seein' the face of the little boys and girls
Singing their first "Noel"
A sweet refrain heard all around the world
A song of forgiveness, comforting peace
A time to remember, what life really means (life really means)
The important things (important things)
And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time...
Guess it's Christmas time...
Open our hearts so we can open our arms
And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time...
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time...
Merry Christmas

Safe In My Garden
Safe In My Garden
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And its perfume means such
That it's causing me to swoon
Safe in my garden
(Could it be, we were hot-wired? Late one night while very tired)
An ancient flower blooms
(They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it)
And the scent from its nature
(With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand)
We don't care where it lands we just throw it
(Slowly squares my room)
Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away
Safe in my garden
(Could it be we were hot-wired late one night were very tired)
An ancient flower blooms
(They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it)
And the scent from its nature
(With a bottle in each hand, to late to try to understand)
Slowly squares my room
(We don't care where it lands we just throw it)
(Somebody take us away)
And its perfume means such
(Somebody take us away)
That it's causing me to swoon
(Safe in my garden)
When you go out in the street
So many hassles with the heat
(An ancient flower blooms)
No one there can fill your desire
(And the scent from its nature)
Cops out with the megaphones
Telling people stay inside their homes
(Slowly squares my room)
Man, can't they see the world's on fire?
Somebody take us away
Take us away
Safe in our garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
(Cops out with the megaphones, telling people stay inside their homes)
Man, the world's on fire
(Slowly squares our room)
Take us away
Take us away

I Dream Of Christmas
I Dream Of Christmas
Composer(s): Brian May
Performer(s): Anita Dobson
I sit alone by the fireside
And watch the old year passing by
Down the street they're singing party songs
You know Christmas always makes me cry
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
Maybe my dreams will come true
I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas
I dream of Christmas and you
And so tonight my thoughts are reaching out
Though you're a million miles away
My dream is strong enough to see me through
Our love's forever and a day
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
Maybe my dreams will come true
I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas
I dream of Christmas and you
And once again the world is filled with joy
I want to share it far and wide
Your spirit fills the air and comforts me
I know you're always by my side
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
Maybe my dreams will come true
I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas
I dream of Christmas and you
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
Maybe my dreams will come true
I dream of Christmas a merry Christmas
I dream of Christmas and you
I dream of Christmas and you
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
I dream of Christmas I dream of Christmas
I dream of Christmas

Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands
Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
and multiple other artists
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?
With your pockets well protected at last
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
Who among them do they think could carry you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
And your basement clothes and your hollow face
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold
And your saint like face and your ghostlike soul
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?

I Believe In Santa's Cause
I Believe In Santa's Cause
Composer(s): Buddy Church; Lew DeWitt
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
Never heard a snowman talking
Never seen a reindeer fly
Nor seen a wooden soldier walkin
Nor met Santa eye to eye
Now there are those who don't believe
In miracles or Santa Claus
But I believe what I believe
And I believe in Santa's Cause
Never heard an Angel singing
Nerver known a Scrooge to smile.
But I have heard sleigh bells ring
And light a spark in some small child
For kids and tress light up at Christmas
As well as preachers and our lawns
And light a Santa way at Christmas
I believe in Santa's Cause
There's a Santa world at Christmas
Turning to the world's applause
So hang a bell for ole Saint Nick
Cause I believe in Santa's Cause
Now there are those who don't believe
In miracles or Santa Claus
But I believe what I believe
And I believe in Santa's Cause

It's Sad To Belong
It's Sad To Belong
Composer(s): Randy Goodrum
Performer(s): England Dan & John Ford Coley; B.J. Thomas; Sofia
I met you on a springtime day
You were minding your life and I was minding mine too
Lady, when you looked my way
I had a strange sensation and Darling, that's when I knew...
That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, I wake up in the night
And I reach beside me hoping you would be there
But instead I find someone
Who believed in me when I said I'd always care...
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
So I'll live my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walking hand in hand
In a wishful memory...
Oh, I guess it's all that it will ever be...
I wish I had a time machine, I could
Make myself go back until the day I was born
Then I would live my life again
And rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now on
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

The Countdown Kids; The Statler Brothers
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus I'll tell you why I do
I believe that dreams and plans and wishes can come true
I believe in miracles I believe in magic too
I believe in Santa Claus and I believe in you
I believe in family in country and in smiles
I believe in turning negatives to positives in life
I believe in looking farther up the farther down we get
I believe when someone hurts us we should forgive and forget
And I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe that love should prevail at any cost and I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude can make a better way
I believe in viewing life as a journey that we're on
And lookin' at our troubles as another stepping stone
And I believe that everything that it is what it's meant to be
I believe there is a God somewhere although he's hard to see
I believe I am so therefore I should do all that I can
To be a better piece in the puzzle of God's plan
And I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
I believe in Santa Claus
Let the little children sing
(I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus)

I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
Let the whole world to sing with us

I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
I believe in Santa Claus

Sad Sunday
Sad Sunday
Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson
Performer(s): Blue
Won't shed no tears
Our day has gone
You had your hold on me
And I felt it, I felt it for so long
No pleasing smile
Can make me turn around
My eyes are far away
From the memories
that only bring me down

I Believe In Father Christmas
I Believe In Father Christmas
Composer(s): Greg Lake; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): Greg Lake;
and various other artists
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve

Sad Songs (Say So Much)
Sad Songs (Say So Much)
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
We share the troubles we already know
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
And it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
Sad songs they say, sad songs they say
Sad songs they say, sad songs they say so much
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on

I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve
I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Peder Knudsen; Marie Wexelsen
Performer(s): Marty Haugen
I am so glad each Christmas Eve
The night of Jesus' birth!
Then like the sun the Star shone forth
And angels sang on earth
The little Child in Bethlehem
He was a King indeed!
For He came down from heaven above
To help a world in need
He dwells again in heaven's realm
The Son of God today
And still He loves His little ones
And hears them when they pray
I am so glad on Christmas Eve!
His praises then I sing
He opens then for every child
The palace of the King
When mother trims the Christmas tree
Which fills the room with light
She tells me of the wondrous Star
That made the dark world bright
She says the Star is shining still
And never will grow dim
And if it shines upon my way
It leads me up to Him
And so I love each Christmas Eve
And I love Jesus, too
And that He loves me every day
I know so well is true
