Over The River And Through The Woods


Over The River And Through The Woods
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Chipmunks;
and various other artists



Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow

Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go

Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling
For it is Christmas Day

Over the river and through the woods
Trot fast my dapple gray
Spring o'er the ground just like a hound
For this is Christmas Day

Over the river and through the woods
And straight through the barnyard gate
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow
It is so hard to wait

Over the river and through the woods
Now Grandma's cap I spy
Hurrah for fun, the pudding's done
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie

Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose


Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose
Composer(s): Irwin Levine; L. Russell Brown
First release by: Dawn & Tony Orlando - 1973
and multiple other artists



We were happy, at least I thought we were
Can somebody tell me what's got into her?
A house, a home, a family and a man that loves her so
Who'd believe she'd leave us to join a burlesque show?

Oh say, has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose
Here's her picture when she was my sweet Mary Jo
Now she's got rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Say has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Oh I got, wind my Jo's been dancin' here in New Orleans
In this smoke-filled honky tonk they call The Land of Dreams
Now here she comes struttin' in her birthday clothes
Say has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose?

Oh baby, baby won't cha come home
We all miss you and every night we kiss your picture
Suppose one night the lights go dim and the crowd goes home
That's the day you wake up and you find you're all alone
So let's say goodbye to Gypsy Rose, hello Mary Jo
Say has anybody seen my sweet gypsy rose?

So take those rings off your fingers, and bells off your toes
Say has anybody seen my
Now you know just what I mean by
Has anybody seen my
Sweet gypsy Rose?

The First Snowfall


The First Snowfall
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): The Carpenters;
and various other artists



Oh the first snowfall of the winter
Was a day that we all waited for
When it drifted to and fro
Why you should've seen the snow
It was near seven feet or more
By the old barn door

Oh the first snowfall of the winter
What a joy for a boy to behold
In each house you'll find a sleigh
That was waiting for this day
And of course, down the road a hill
For each Jack and Jill

Every winter breeze that scurries
Sends the snowflakes up in flurries
It's the good old sentimental season when
Folks put runners on their surreys
They forget about their worries
And a man becomes a boy once again

Oh, the first snowfall of the winter
Jingle bells wove their spells ever dear
Under wintry skies of gray
It was snowing hard all the day
And it showed no signs of stoppin'
Every kid with eyes a-poppin'
Knew he'd soon be belly-whoppin' on his ear

On the first snowfall of the winter
Oh, that first snowfall of the year
(The first snowfall of the year)
Oh, that first snowfall of the year

(Say) You're My Girl


(Say) You're My Girl
Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



You're my girl
Hello! May I have this dance with you?
How have you been, girl?
Hold me and then, girl, just let me look at you
Tell me now is it true?
Oh! Did you break up, no chance to make up?
I hate to take up all your time but tell me
Although it won't be repeated
you mean to tell me he cheated?
Oh, what a fool he's been though he is my best friend
I hate it this way but I've waited for this day
I always wanted you to be my girl, be my girl, be my girl
I still don't believe it he played around on you
Cause I know you, I loved you, too
With your big eyes, full lips, high cheekbones and everything about you, girl
your personality girl
Give me a chance, come on, let's dance and dance the night away-ay-ay-ay
You're my girl, you're my girl
Oh, Baby, Baby! Baby
hold me tight, be mine tonight, say it's all right!
And I will never ever let you go
Oh no!
Be my girl, be my girl, you're my girl, you're my... you're my-y-y girl

Out Of The East (Harry Noble)


Out Of The East
Composer(s): Harry Noble



Out of the East there came riding, riding
Three of the wisest of men
Dust was their enemy blinding, blinding
Even the wisest of them

Wandering shepherds heard tell their story
Told in the flickering firelight
Tender light
Ever bright Christmas night

Far to the West was there shining, shining
Blazing a star in the dawn
Reverent wise men beheld it, saying
"This night a savior is born"

Into the West the went riding, riding
Following after the star
Over a quiet town shining, shining
Lighting their way from afar

Under its glory sat Mother Mary
Tenderly singing a lullaby
Hush-a-by
Don't-you-cry lullaby

Into the stable came riding, riding
Three of the wisest of men
Gifts did they bring for that Babe in manger
Gifts for the savior of men

Lo! in a manger they found Him, found Him
Bathed in the light of yon star
Gold did they bring Him and frankincense
And myrrh from a land that was far

Shepherds crept in singing praises, praises
Angels kept watch to be near to Him
Dear to Him
One with Him, praising Him

Into the East then went riding, riding
Three of the wisest of men
Found was the Babe in a lowly manger
Crowned was the Savior of men

Say You're Mine Again


Say You're Mine Again
Composer(s): Dave Heisler; Charles Nathan
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists



Say the sun will never shine again
And say the rose that blooms will never bloom again
But come what may, I know I must have you again
My darling, say you're mine again

Say that spring will never come again
And say that chapel bells will never ring again
No matter what will be, I must be yours again
So darling, say you're mine again

If I wouldn't lose all the world and it's treasures
Who cares, let it be as it may
As long as I have you beside me
I'll always be happy that way

Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again

Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again

Say you're mine again

Our First Christmas Together


Our First Christmas Together
Composer(s): Margie Singleton; Bert Keyes
Performer(s): Brook Benton



(Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom)

This is our first Christmas together
We've got songs to sing, bells to ring
So much to enjoy, in a million merry ways
We'll spend the holidays in love

And on our first Christmas together
Let us make a vow, here and now
That we'll always be, Darling, in each others arms
When December snowflakes fall above

Let's do our Christmas shopping early
And while the crowds are on the go
We'll be somewhere kissing the time away
Un-un-un-unerneath the mistletoe

We'll make our first Christmas together
Oh, be a lasting thrill, one that will never ever die
May it bring us loving cheers
Each Christmas as the years go by

(Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom)
Merry Christmas ev'rybody!

Say you'll stay until tomorrow
I can't face tonight alone
Though I know it's over and we're through
Say you'll stay until tomorrow

I need you

you can't live (you can't live)
with a lie so..

Say you'll stay until tomorrow
I can't face tonight alone
Though I know it's over and we're through
Say you'll stay until tomorrow

I've known for some time now
that things just ain't been right
'cause when we try to talk
we both get so uptight

But now you've told the truth
and I know where I stand
though it hurts (though it hurts)
deep inside (deep inside)
give me time (give me time)
I'll get by so..

Say you'll stay until tomorrow
I can't face tonight alone
Though I know it's over and we're through
Say you'll stay until tomorrow

Though I know it's over and we're through
say you'll stay until tomorrow
I neeeeeeeeedddd you

Say You, Say Me


Say You, Say Me - 1985 (Spanish Version: Créeme, Ya Ves - 2008) Composer(s): Lionel Richie First release by: Lionel Richie - 1985



Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, nat'rally

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park palyin' games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
But from behind the walls of doubt, a voice wa crying out

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, nat'rally

As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
That helping hand, someone who understands
And when you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say, "I'll show you"

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, nat'rally

So you think you know the answers
Oh, no. Well, the whole world's got ya dance that's right
I'm tellin' you
It's time to start believing
Oh, you
Believe in who you are; you are a shining star

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, nat'rally

Say it together, nat'rally

Only One Night Of The Year


Only One Night Of The Year
Composer(s): Mike Reid
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap



There's a magic light in the stars tonight
It shines with a wondrous glow
There's a whisper of love in the silence of
Gently falling snow

There's cookies and milk on the table
Ribbons on bright candy canes
And every child who is able
Has their nose to the window pane

`Cause for only one night of the year
You can see flying reindeer
And if you believe in Christmas' Eve
There's no telling who will appear

With his whiskers and pipe
He comes only one night of the year

It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls
A hints of pinewood in the air
As the church bell chimes about twelve times
I slip into my easy chair

To watch the fire die to an ember
And drift into a winter dream
Of a magical night in December
And faith in a sight unseen

And for only one night of the year
You can see flying reindeer
And if you believe in Christmas Eve
There's no telling who will appear

With his whiskers and pipe
He comes only one night of the year

Ummmm, if you believe in Christmas Eve
Raise a glass of good cheer
`Cause wish as we might
It comes only one night of the year

Créeme, Ya Ves


Créeme, Ya Ves ((Adapted from: Say You, Say Me (by Lionel Richie) - 1985)) Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Laura Escuadra Nurén Performer(s): Rosa - 2008




Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

Alguna vez, caigo en imaginar
Tiempos sin maldad que no cuesta ayudar
Pero lo sé, sé que así no es
Lo que ves tú tan real, no es más que irrealidad

Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

Cuando una está sola entre multitud
Necesita de una voz que revive en su interior
Que llegue quien, sin más interés
Ceda toda su amistad, por nada que cambiar, sin trampas

Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

De repente alguna vez, oh no, todo es fácil y a la vez, lo mejor eres tú
Eres fuertes de por sí, ya ves, y llega un día más y vuelve a pensar

Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, se aligera al andar
Créeme, ya ves, todo entre dos, es mejor

One Pair Of Hands


One Pair Of Hands Composer(s): Barbarita Campbell; Mann Curtis Performer(s): Glen Campbell



One pair of hands built the mountains One pair of hands formed the sea And one pair of hands made the sun and the moon Every bird every flower every tree One pair of hands formed the valleys The ocean the rivers and the sand His hands are so strong so when life goes wrong Put your faith in the one pair of hands One pair of hands built the mountains... One small child One small child in a land of a thousand One small dream of a Savior tonight One small hand reaching out to the starlight One small Savior of love One small Savior of love One king bringing his gold and his riches One king ruling an army of might One king kneeling with incense and candlelight One King bringing us life One King bringing us life See the shepherds kneeling before him See the kings on bended knee See the mother praising the Father See his tiny eyelids fall One small child in a land of a thousand One small dream of a Savior tonight One small hand reaching out to the starlight One small Savior of life One small Savior of life See the shepherds kneeling before him See the kings on bended knee See the mother praising the Father See his tiny eyelids fall See his tiny eyelids fall See his tiny eyelids fall See the shepherds See the kings See his mother See his tiny eyelids fall

One More Sleep 'Til Christmas


One More Sleep 'Til Christmas
Composer(s): Paul Williams
Performer(s): The Muppets



There's magic in the air this evening
Magic in the air
The world is at her best, you know
When people love and care
The promise of excitment is one the night will keep
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

The world has gotta smile today
The world has gotta glow
There's no such thing as strangers
When a stranger says "Hello"
And everyone is family, we're havin' so much fun
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

'Tis the season to be jolly and joyous
With a burst of pleasure we feel it all right
It's a season when the Saints can employ us
To spread the news about peace and to keep love alive
"Merry Christmas, so long!"

There's somethin' in the wind today that's good for everyone
Yes, faith is our hearts today, we're shinin' like the sun
And everyone can feel it, the feelin's runnin' deep
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas day

She's Crazy For Leaving


She's Crazy For Leaving
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark
Performer(s): Rodney Crowell; Guy Clark; Steve Wariner



Well the bus pulled away
In a roaring black cloud
While I stood in the road
And honey I hollered right out loud

Hey darlin' I love you
Hey bus driver whoa
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

So I punched out my truck
On a telephone pole
Now she never looked back
She just said go driver go

Well I know I could have caught her
But I ran out of luck
She was long gone to Lufkin
By the time they cut me out of my truck

She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

So I kicked and I cussed
That old east Texas road
I throwed rocks at my truck
Which had busted my nose

You add insult to injury
What do you get
You get a bus stop full of honkies
That don't ever forget

She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
When the boys at the bus stop
Just said man let her go
She's crazy for leavin'
I told her so
But you can't stop a woman
When she's out of control

Say you, oh this just, has to be
I think you're gonna be my girl
