Second Avenue
Second Avenue
Composer(s): Tim Moore
Performer(s): Art Garfunkel; Tim Moore; Tim Rose
Since we can no longer make it, girl
I found a new place to live my life
It's really no place at all
Just a hole in the wall, you see
It's cold and dusty but I let it be
Livin' here without you
On Second Avenue
And since our stars took different paths
I guess I won't be shavin' in your looking glass
Guess my old friendly grin
Must have started to dim, somehow
And I certainly don't need it now
Still, I keep smiling through
On Second Avenue
I can still see you standing
There on the third-floor landing
The day you visited we hardly said a word
Outside it was rainin'
You said you couldn't be stayin'
And you went back to your flowers and your birds
Since we can no longer see the light
The way we did when we kissed that night
Then all the things that we felt
Must eventually melt and fade
Like the frost on my window pane
Where I wrote, "I Am You"
On Second Avenue

The Bells Of Christmas (Kenny Loggins)
The Bells Of Christmas
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Steve Wood
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins
Imagine a boy
Kneeling by the window
Lookin out across the driveway at the rain
Will it always rain
I remember the bells
Comin' from the churchyard
And I thought they played their music just for me
And day by day
The rain turned to snow
I don't hear them anymore
The bells of Christmas will ring for us again
When we truly do believe what Christmas really means
So light a candle that every man may see
The world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again
There was a girl
Lived around the corner
With eyes as black as Mary's must have been
I wonder does she miss her friend
I remember the day
All the bells were ringing
As I watched her cross the churchyard in the snow
And all my searching
For all I lack
Is just trying to get that feeling back
The bells of Christmas will ring for us again
When we truly do believe what Christmas really means
So light a candle that every man may see
A world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again
The future of the world, they say
Is in the children's hands
Perhaps if we could let them lead
We'd come to understand
The bells of Christmas will ring for us again
When we truly do believe what Christmas really means
So light a candle that every man may see
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again

Sèche Vite Tes Larmes
Sèche Vite Tes Larmes
(German Version: Liebeskummer Lohnt Sich Nicht)
Composer(s): G. Loose; James Last; H. Ithier)
Performer(s): Dalida
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes
Tu n'as pas raison de tant pleurer
Sèche vite tes larmes à travers tes larmes
Un nouveau soleil vient se montrer
Puisqu'il t'a menti
Laisse-le partir
Ce garçon était volage
Tu es si jolie
Il te faut guérir
L'amour a d'autres visages
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes
Tu n'as pas raison de tant pleurer
Au fond de son âme la plus faible femme
A toujours espoir de mieux aimer
Il n'est pas le seul
Et d'autres garçons
Tu le sais voudraient te plaire
Ouvre ta fenêtre
Le printemps est là
Et pour toi le ciel s'éclaire
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes
Tu n'as pas raison de tant pleurer
Sèche vite tes larmes derrière tes larmes
Un nouveau soleil vient de briller
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes
Ton chagrin n'est plus qu'un souvenir
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes
Ton nouveau bonheur
C'est de sourire

The Bells Of Christmas
The Bells Of Christmas
Danish Title: Det Kimer Nu Til Jule-Fest
Composer(s): Carl C.N. Balle
The bells of Christmas chime once more
The heavenly guest is at the door
He comes to earthly dwelling still
With new year gifts of peace, good will
This world though wide and far outspread
Could scarcely find for you a bed
Your cradle was a manger stall
No pearl no silk no kingly hall
Now let us go with quiet mind
The swaddled babe with shepherds find
To gaze on him who gladdens them
The lovliest flow'r of Jesse's stem
Oh join with me, in gladness sing
To keep our Christmas with our King
Until our song, from loving souls
Like rushing mighty water rolls!
O patriarchs' Joy, O prophets' Song
O Dayspring bright, awaited long
O son of Man, incarnate Word Great
David's Son, great David's Lord
Come, Jesus, glorious heav'nly guest
And keep your Christmas in our breast
Then David's harpstrings, hushed so long
Shall swell our jubilee of song

Liebeskummer Lohnt Sich Nicht
Liebeskummer Lohnt Sich Nicht
(French Version: Sèche Vite Tes Larmes)
Composer(s): Christian Bruhn; Georg Buschor
Performer(s): Siw Malmkvist
and multiple other artists
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
schade um die Traenen in der Nacht
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
Im Hof da spielte sie mit Joe von vis a vis
doch dann zog er in eine andere Stadt
Wie hat sie da geweint um ihren besten Freund
da gab ihr die Mama den guten Rat
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
schade um die Traenen in der Nacht
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
Mit achtzehn traf sie Jim, sie traemte nur von ihm
zum ersten Mal verliebt, das war so schoen
Doch Jim der war nicht Treu und alles war vorbei
da konnte sie es lange nicht verstehn
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
schade um die Traenen in der Nacht
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
Bis dann der eine kam, der in den Arm sie nahm
nun gehen sie durch ein Leben voller Glueck
Und gibt's von Zeit zu Zeit mal einen kleinen Streit
dann denkt sie an das alte Lied zurueck
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
schade um die Traenen in der Nacht
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling
weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht

The Bell That Couldn't Jingle
The Bell That Couldn't Jingle
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Larry Kusik
Performer(s): Burt Bacharach;
and various other artists
Then Santa said
Jack Frost will bring my Christmas
gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll
jingle just like you were brand new
A Christmas bell was cryin'
and Santa heard it say
I just can't seem to jingle
and I can't go on the sleigh
Then Santa soon discovered the reason that it cried
The bell that couldn't jingle
It had nothin' there inside
Then Santa said
Jack Frost will bring my Christmas
gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll
jingle just like you were brand new
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop
so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way
The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way
Then Santa said
Jack Frost will bring my Christmas
gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll
jingle just like you were brand new
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop
so each time that it swayed
The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way
The bell that couldn't jingle
it went jingling all the way
it went jingling all the way
it went jingling all the way

Seca D'água
Seca D'água
Composer(s): Patativa do Assaré
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
É triste para o Nordeste o que a natureza fez
Mandou cinco anos de seca e uma chuva em cada mês
E agora em 85 mandou tudo de uma vez
A sorte do nordestino é mesmo de fazer dó
Seca sem chuva é ruim
Mas seca d’água é pior
Quando chove brandamente depressa nasce um capim
Dá milho, arroz e feijão, mandioca e amendoim
Mas com em 85 até o sapo achou ruim
Maranhão e Piauí estão sofrendo por lá
Mas o maior sofrimento é nessas bandas de cá
Pernambuco, Rio Grande, Paraíba e Ceará
A sorte do nordestino é mesmo de fazer dó
Seca sem chuva é ruim
Mas seca d’água é pior
O Jaguaribe inundou a cidade de Iguatu
E Sobral foi alagada pelo Rio Acaraú
O mesmo estrago fizeram Salgado e Banabuiu
Ceará martirizado, eu tenho pena de ti
Limoeiro, Itaíçaba, Quixeré e Aracati
Faz pena ver o lamento dos flagelados dali
Seus doutores governantes da nossa grande nação
O flagelo das enchentes é de cortar coração
Muitas famílias vivendo sem lar, sem roupa, sem pão
A sorte do nordestino é mesmo de fazer dó
Seca sem chuva é ruim
Mas seca d’água é pior

The Ballad Of The Christmas Donkey
The Ballad Of The Christmas Donkey
Performer(s): Ed Ames
Long ago, in another day
A donkey cried in his donkey way
I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful
What good to anyone am I
Other animals are big and strong
Or rare or filled with an animal song
But I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful
What good to anyone am I
Heaven cried...donkey you can carry
Will you carry Mary...angels for your guide
On Christmas morn', in the stable hay
The donkey smiled in his donkey way
I feel beautiful, I feel beautiful
As beautiful as anyone am I....
As..beautiful..as..anyone...am......I

Sébastien
Sébastien
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay; André Popp
Performer(s): Marie Laforêt
La fête qu'on fera
Quand Sébastien viendra
Avec son grand chapeau
Avec sa belle auto
Dessous son toit ouvrant
Comme un vrai président
Avec son grand cigare
Avec tous ses dollars
La belle fête qu'il aura
En rentrant du Vézuénéla
On dit qu'il a fait là-bas
Sa fortune dans les tabacs
Après avoir dirigé
Trois ou quatre cabarets
La belle fête qu'on arrangera
Quand il reviendra du Vézuénéla
Pour Sébastien pour Sébastien
Pour Sébastien pour Sébastien
Chez nous il n'était bon
Qu'à garder les moutons
Avec son gros manteau
Avec son vieux pipeau
En somme c'est grâce à moi
S'il est parti là-bas
Avec ses gros sabots
Avec son sac au dos
Sébastien voulait m'épouser
Et moi je lui ai ri au nez
Si c'était pareil aujourd'hui
Je crois que je dirais oui
Pourvu bien sûr qu'il n'est ni :
Trop grossi ni trop vieilli
Mais faudrait pas
Qu'avec tout son argent
Il soit dev'nu trop intelligent
Cher Sébastien
Vieux Sébastien
Grand Sébastien
Beau Sébastien

The Baby's Carol
The Baby's Carol
Composer(s): Martha Cheney; Hap Palmer
Performer(s): Hap Palmer
Love was born in that lowly place
See it shining in Mary's face
Lighting the world and starry skies
Oh love in a baby's eyes
Hope was born on that lonely night
through the darkness he came as light
Dawning to bid the shadows part
Oh hope from a baby's heart
And joy was born in that stable bare
Angel hosts behold him there
Happily greet this holy child
Oh Joy in a baby's smile
Peace was born in that simple stall
Softly reaching to touch us all
Tenderly blessing every land
Oh peace in a baby's hand

Seattlehead
Seattlehead
Composer(s): Duff McKagan
Performer(s): Loaded
When I was young I had dream
Movin' to the city, sight unseen
Nineteen years of age I packed up my bags
Hollywood was all the rage
I came to you in 1984
You showed me in, then you shut the door
It didn't take me long to learn to play the game
A kick in the head always feel the same
Los Angeles, you're a fucking whore
Hollywood, you're an open sore
I played it well, and I played it fast
Livin' slow was in the past
Chicks and drugs and gettin' burnt
Just a few of the things I learnt
Got sick and tired of being scared as hell
A wasted man, just a shell of myself
But that was then, and this is now
My pretty baby, I've changed somehow
Los Angeles, you've lost your grip
Drugs and lies and whores suckin' dick
I don't know if I could do things differently
LA had me for so long
When I look I can see things differently
What does't kill me makes me strong
Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul to you
Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me
You thought you could take me down
Fuck that, power to me
Sometimes it goes like this
Sometimes it's the only way, to learn it
A kick in the head

Theme song from the TV Series "Here Come The Brides" (1968)
Composer(s): Jack Keller; Hugo Montenegro; Ernie Sheldon
Performer(s): The New Establishment
and multiple other artists
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle . . . in Seattle
When it's time to leave your home and your loved ones
It's the hardest thing a boy can ever do
An' you pray that you will find someone warm an' sweet an' kind
But you're not sure what's waiting there for you
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle . . . in Seattle
When you find your own true love, you will know it
By her smile, by the look in her eye
Scent of pine trees in the air, never knew a day so fair
It makes you feel so proud that you could cry
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle . . . in Seattle
In Seattle . . . in Seattle . . . in Seattle!

The Angels Sang
The Angels Sang
Composer(s): Helen Darling; Peggy Newman
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
My little boy was a wise man this year
His Christmas play was something I couldn't miss
Between the shopping and my job I barely got there
My faith was worn from stress and strain
Until those little
Angels sang (hallelujah)
To the King (people rejoice)
He brought peace and joy to all the world
When he came
And the angels sang (hallelujah)
And they sang (people rejoice)
And as I watched those innocent children
I felt the greatness of that holy night
And for a moment I was right there with those wise men
So overwhelmed with love and light I had to cry when the
Angels sang (hallelujah)
To the King (people rejoice)
He brought peace and joy to all the world
When he came
And the angels sang (hallelujah)
And they sang (people rejoice)
Angels sang (hallelujah)
To the King (people rejoice)
He brought peace and joy to all the world
When he came
And the angels sang (hallelujah)
And they sang (people rejoice)

First release by: Aerosmith - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
Blues hearted lady sleepy was she
Love for the devil brought her to me
Sea's of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of Wither holdin' me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you
In time bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail
Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken far far away
Heat of my candle show me the way
Sea's of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of Wither holdin' me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you
In time bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail

The Angels Cried
Composer(s): Harley Allen; Debbie Nims
Performer(s): Alan Jackson & Alison Krauss; Albert & Gage; Bonnie Wixom
They came from near, they came from far
Following a distant star to where He lay
Not being sure of what it meant
But knowing it was Heaven sent
They made their way
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
The angels knew what was to come
The reason God had sent His son from up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see
And knowing of His destiny
Came tears of love
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
I've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realised that star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land
The Son of God would soon become
The Son of Man
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
And the Angels Cried
And the Angels Cried

Seasons Of The Heart
Seasons Of The Heart
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver; Ryan & Aimee Engelbrecht; Red Hurley
Of course we have our differences
You shouldn’t be surprised
It’s as natural as changes
In the seasons and the skies
Sometimes we grow together
Sometimes we drift apart
A wiser man than I might know
The seasons of the heart
And I’m walking here beside you
In the early evening chill
A thing we’ve always loved to do
I know we always will
We have so much in common
So many things we share
That I can’t believe my heart
When it implies that you’re not there
Love is why I came here in the first place
Love is now the reason I must go
Love is all I ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream I know
So I don’t know how to tell you
It’s difficult to say
I never in my wildest dreams
Imagined it this way
But sometimes I just don’t know you
There’s a stranger in our home
When I’m lying right beside you
Is when I’m most alone
And I think my heart is broken
There’s an emptiness inside
So many things I’ve longed for
Have so often been denied
Still I wouldn’t try to change you
There’s no one that’s to blame
It’s just some things that mean so much
And we just don’t feel the same
Love is why I came here in the first place
Love is now the reason I must go
Love is all I ever hoped to find here
Love is still the only dream I know
True love is still the only dream I know
