Say A Prayer For Me Tonight


Say A Prayer For Me Tonight
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Betty Wand
and multiple other artists
Say a prayer for me tonight
I'll need every prayer that you can spare
To get me by
Say a prayer and while you're praying
Keep on saying
She's much too young to die
On to your Waterloo, whispers my heart
Pray I'll be Wellington, not Bonaparte
Oh, say a prayer for me this evening
Bow your head and please
Stay on your knees tonight

O Little Town Of Bethlehem


O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Composer(s): Phillips Brooks; Lewis H. Redner
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child
Where misery cries out to thee
Son of the mother mild
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks
And Christmas comes once more
O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!

(Spanish Version: Para Vigo Me Voy)
Composer(s): Ernesto Lecuona; Francia Luban; Al Stillman
and multiple other artists
In Spain they say "Si, Si"
In France you'll hear "Oui, Oui"
Ev'ry little Dutch girl says "Ya, Ya"
Ev'ry little Russian says "Da, Da"
But, Sweetheart, tell me why
No matter how I try
You won't listen to my plea
Won't say "Yes" in any language to me
When will you say "Si, Si"
"Si, Si", "Si, Si"
"Si, Si", "Si, Si"
Ev'ry little Dutch girl says "Ya, Ya", ya-ya-ya
Ev'ry little Russian says "Da, Da"
But, Sweetheart, oh, why won't you tell me why
No matter how m-m-much I try, please tell me why
La-la-la-la-da, won't listen to my plea
Won't say "Yes" on any language to me
Oh-woh, and when you say "Si, Si", say "Si, Si"
La la la la la la la da da da da

La da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da daaa
If you could only say "Si, Si", "Oui, Oui", "Ya, Ya", "Da, Da,"
Da da da la da
And all my life would be a song,
Nothing could go wrong, go wrong, go wrong
If you give in, I'll win
I won't give up, give up
Darling, if you give in
I must hear you say "Si, Si"
Oh, won't you listen to my plea
Please say "Yes" in any language to me
Won't you say "Si, Si", say "Si, Si"

O Holy Night


O Holy Night
((Adapted from: Minuit, Chrétiens - 1847 (aka Cantique De Noël))
Composer(s): Adolphe-Charles Adam; Placide Cappeau; John Sullivan Dwight
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis - 1958
and multiple other artists
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friends
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all our hearts we praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord!
Then ever, ever praise we
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Savoy Truffle


Savoy Truffle
Composer(s): George Harrison
First release by: The Beatles - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Creme tangerine and montelimar
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel you taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
You might not feel it now
but when the pain cuts through
you're gonna know and how
The sweat is gonna fill you head
when it becomes too much, you'll shout aloud
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
You know that what you eat you are
but what is sweet now turns so sour
We all know ob-bla-di-bla-da
but can you show me where you are
Creme tangerine and montelimar
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
Yes, you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle

((Adapted from: She's A Lady (by Tom Jones) - 1971))
Composer(s): Paul Anka; Jan De Vuyst
Performer(s): Doran - 1998
Ook al ben ik nog zo boos
Toch maakt zij me machteloos
Met haar ogen (met haar ogen)
Hoe ze 't doet ik weet het niet
Maar ze zingt het hoogste lied
Zonder woorden (zonder woorden)
She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht
Heel de wereld draait om haar
Alles krijgt ze voor mekaar
Met haar schoonheid (met haar schoonheid)
Als we uitgaan, ik betaal
Ja, dat vindt ze heel normaal
Da's haar wereld (da's haar wereld)
She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht
Ik bemin haar helemaal
Alles kan ze krijgen
Heel m'n ziel en heel m'n hart
Niets kan ik haar weigeren
En elke nacht sta ik klaar
'k Wil haar niet verliezen
Overal waarheen ze gaat
Wil ik met haar mee
She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht
Wowowowoh
Wohoh
En gebeurt het dat ze schreeuwt
Dat ze met haar spullen gooit
'k Zal haar troosten
Als ze wil ik maak me klein
Is ze blij dan is er wijn
We zullen toasten
She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht
She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht
Yeahyeahyeah, she's a lady

Savoir Vivre


Savoir Vivre
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall
C'est une fête, ce moment de rien du tout
Ces couleurs, cette pluie qui nous tombe dessus
Et toi qui souris
Juste parce que c'est toi
Juste parce que c'est moi
Parce que c'est la vie
C'est une fête d'être là
Loin des grands champs de bataille
Un détail
C'est l'amour qui remplace la haine
Et qui change tous nos problème
Et qui change tout
L'important c'est sans doute
De s'en rendre compte, et de
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Savoir maîtriser cet instant qui passe
Savoir mépriser le temps et l'espace
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Comme c'est bien cette musique
Qui nous fait tenir debout
Sur des fils électriques sur lesquels on danse
Et qui nous emmènent
Dans un monde meilleur
Et qu'elle passe, qu'elle s'efface
Qu'elle ne laisse rien du tout
Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire
Quelle affaire
Si demain tout est perdu
Du moment qu'on a vécu
Le secret c'est sans doute
De s'en rendre compte, et de
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Puisque le présent est déjà passé
Faire un pied de nez à l'éternité
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Se serrer très fort avant de se quitter
S'étreindre avant de s'éteindre
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Oublier tout, tout, tout
Savoir vivre

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory over the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud, and majesty, and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

I'm Saving Up For Sally


I'm Saving Up For Sally
Composer(s): Eric Maschwitz; George Posford
Performer(s): George Formby
I may be rather careful, a little slow to spend
Don't often push the boat out and I haven't cash to lend
It's not that I'm a meanie or spending comes amiss
I'll tell you confidentially folks the reason for it is
I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a rainy day
I save what I can spare, a penny here and there
And just to keep us off the rocks I pop it in my money box
Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be
It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know
If Sally's saving up a bit for me
I haven't popped the question or asked her to be mine
But Sally's such a darling I'll have to draw the line
It may be any minute, I hope she'll say I will
But till I've plucked my courage up I'll keep on saving still
'Cause I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a honeymoon
I've got to buy a ring, a mattress with a spring
There's one thing that I have to get, a nice new shiny bassinette
Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be
But before I go to that expense I'd like to know in self defence
If Sally's saving up a bit for me
I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be
It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know
If Sally's saving up a bit for me

O Come Little Children
O Come Little Children
German Title: Ihr Kindelein Kommet
Composer(s): Christoph von Schmidt; Johann Schulz
O come, little children, O come, one and all
To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small
God’s Son for a gift has been sent you this day
To be your redeemer, your joy and delight
The hay is His pillow, the manger His bed
The beasts stand in wonder to gaze on His head
Yet there where He lieth, so weak and so poor
Come shepherds and wise men to kneel at His door
He’s born in a stable for you and for me
Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see
In swaddling clothes lying so meek and so mild
And purer than angels the heavenly child
See Mary and Joseph with love beaming eyes
Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies
The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love
While angels sing loud hallelujahs above
Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today
Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they
Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast
And join in the song of the heavenly host
Now "Glory to God!" sing the angels on high
And "Peace upon Earth!" heavenly voices reply
Then come little children, and join in the day
That gladdened the world on that first Christmas Day

Saving All My Love For You
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Michael Masser
First release by: Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists
A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night for I feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night that I feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you
Yeah 'm saving all my lovin'
Yes I'm saving all my love for you, for you
