Si Je Le Retrouve Un Jour
Si Je Le Retrouve Un Jour
Composer(s): Michel Jonasz; A. Goldstein
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Si je le retrouve un jour
j'y dirai même pas bonjour
ou alors du bout des dents
quelque chose comme ça en passant
quelque chose comme
y a si long
tant de nuits
tant d'ennuis
tant d'amis partis au loin
eux aussi
tant d'soucis
grands comme le Mississipi
et qui m'ont blessée
comme des scies
si si
s'il a eu mal aussi
tant pis
tant d'cela tant d'ce
si je le retrouve un jour
j'y dirai même pas bonjour
ou alors du bout des lèvres
quelque chose comme
j'ai eu la fièvre
comme j'ai eu
du mauvais
tant de nuits pourtant
tant d'pays
tant d'soleils
plus forts qu'çui d'Hawai
sans soucis
le ciel qui s'éclaircit
qu'est-ce qui s'est passé
il s'est obscurci
j'y dirai ça aussi
tant pis
tant d'cela tant d'ce ...
si je le retrouve un jour
j'y dirai même pas bonjour

Whatever Happened To Christmas?
Whatever Happened To Christmas?
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra & The Sinatra Family; Jimmy Joyce Singers & Orch.; Aimee Mann
Whatever happened to Christmas?
It's gone and left no traces
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow
Whatever happened to Christmas
to Christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving
the magic in the snow?
Remember the sight and the smell and the sound
And remember hearing the call
Remember how love was all around
whatever happened to it all?
Whatever happened to Christmas
bells in the streets were ringing
Whatever happened to the singing
the songs we used to know
Whatever happened to this Christmas
and when did it disappear from view
Where was I, and whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to Christmas and you?

Her hair was the colour of the sun
Was the colour of her eyes
Was the colour of my own true love
Her hair was the colour of the sun
Was the colour of her eyes

Love maker, make me a lovesong to sing
I'm in the night, she is wrong and she knows
(He's in love and it shows)
I want her love but she won't let me in
When I see her I think who's fooling who?
(She loves you too)
Her hair was the colour of the sun
Was the colour of her eyes
Was the colour of my only love
Her hair was the colour of the sun
Was the colour of her eyes

Maybe there's someone else but I won't give in
I'II play her game and I hope I don't lose
(You'II be the one she would choose)
Love maker make me a love song to sing
She'II hear my song and I hope she'II be there

What I Love About Christmas
What I Love About Christmas
Composer(s): Connie Zimmerman
Performer(s): The Jingle Janglers
I'll tell you what I love about the Christmas season
Here are lots of reasons and they're all from the heart
Making Christmas decorations 'round the kitchen table
Just before Thanksgiving is a good way to start
Hand me the crayons and the glitter too
Pass me the scissors please, and then the glue
I'll draw a chubby little tummy for Santa Claus
I'll make one hundred ornaments before I pause
Drinking egg-nog like it's going outta style
While putting up the tree and stringing the lights
Stepping outside to see our house lit up
Riding through the neighborhood, enjoying the sights
I love the feelings of Christmas
I love making shopping lists
I love hanging tree decorations
I love to get a mistletoe kiss
The morning of Christmas is a special time
Shiny new bikes rolling down the lane
The mommies are a-cooing over new baby dolls
Daddy's workin' hard to build the toy train
A holiday dinner prepared with love
yummy brown gravy over Real Mashed Potatoes
see the daddies nap after they're done eating
while the mommies and the kids play a game
Tree ornaments that have a special meaning
Looking for a snowflake from above
Another thing I cherish about each Christmas
Is singing Christmas Carols with the ones I love
I love the feelings of Christmas
I love making shopping lists
I love hanging tree decorations
I love to get a mistletoe kiss
Sparkling little faces so full of joy
Looking for a snowflake from above
A gift I really cherish about this season
Is singing Christmas Carols with the ones I love

Si Je Le Pouvais
Si Je Le Pouvais
Composer(s): Claude Barzotti; M. Célie; A.M. Gaspard
Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
Je changerais le cœur des hommes
On recommence et elle maldonne
Je viendrais à bout de mes chants
Rien qu'à coups de grands sentiments
On ne jouerait plus à la guerre
Dans aucun pays de la terre
Le monde serait un musé
De clin-d'œil et de pieds de nez
Si je le pouvais
Et je serais un héros, un prince de légende
J'affronterais le taureau, le feu et la tourmente
Je changerais l'air du temps, la direction des vents
Si je le pouvais
Si je le pouvais, je referais le monde à ton image
Repeindrais la Jaconde à ton visage
Éloignerais de toi les loups sauvages
Oh! pour toi, je te ferais un abri de mes bras
Je ferais tourner la terre à l'endroit
Si je le pouvais, si je le pouvais
J'amènerais l'eau au désert
Pour que tu ne pleures jamais plus
Sur ces peuples dans la misère
Fais croire à un malentendu
Je redessinerais le monde
Un peu plus juste, un peu plus beau
Ces chevaliers trop noirs qui rodent
Les yeux mouillés de Mexico
Si je le pouvais
Je serais sorcier guérisseur
J'abolirais même le deuil
Trouverais une place entre deux cœurs
Pour chaque sourire d'enfant seul
J'ai tout fait les grandes tristesses
Soumis des tonnes de tendresses
Et toujours aurais sur l'honneur
La fidélité, le bonheur
Si je le pouvais
Et je serais un héros, un prince de légende
J'affronterais le taureau, le feu et la tourmente
Je changerais l'air du temps, la direction des vents
Si je le pouvais
Si je le pouvais, je referais le monde à ton image
Repeindrais la Jaconde à ton visage
Éloignerais de toi les loups sauvages
Oh! pour toi, je te ferais un abri de mes bras
Je ferais tourner la terre à l'endroit
Si je le pouvais, si je le pouvais
Si je le pouvais si je le pouvais

What Does Christmas Mean To Me
What Does Christmas Mean To Me
Composer(s): Allan Greenspoon;
Claude Morrison; Rhonda Silver
Performer(s): The Nylons
What does Christmas mean to me
is it more than just a Christmas tree
And lights and fancy decorations
or a time for celebration
What does Christmas mean to me
fresh fallin' snow, a symphony
Or a newborn babe in Bethlehem
three wise men beside the lamb
What does Christmas mean
is it just a dream
Oh God I hope you hear my plea
'cause it means so much to me
Why did that star shine oh so bright
and angels sing all through the night
What do they mean a Saviour's born
what miracle happened on that morn
What does Christmas mean
is it just a dream
Oh God I hope you hear my plea
'cause it means so much to me
(I'll tell you what it means to me
show you what it how it feels
to see the light shine down on me)
Oh Santa when you come to call
bring joy and blessings for us all
For the mystery of that birth
but most of all bring peace on earth
What does Christmas mean
is it just a dream
Oh God, I hope you hear my plea
'cause it means so much to me

The Dooright Family
The Dooright Family
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
I wanta tell you a story 'bout the Dooright Family
That soul singing gospel group from the hills of Tennessee
They travel in a silver eagle with eight rooms and a shower
And every Sunday afternoon you can tune 'em in on the Dooright hour
"Oh yes friends and neighbors we are the Dooright Family
Broadcasting over the airwaves from Nashville, Tennessee
Reach over and turn up your radio's and we'll bring our music to ya
and pretty soon you'll shout hallelujah!"
Well you've the Dooright {dooright}, Dooright {dooright}, Dooright {dooright}, Dooright {dooright}
and we invite you to help us sing our song
The Dooright...yes it's the doo-Dooright's you know you can't go wrong!
"Here's brother Therman"
"Howdy neighbors"
"Sister Doris and Sister Dewdrop"
"Praise glory!"
"Oh bless your hearts, girls"
"Bless your heart, Daddy; bless your heart Virgil, bless your heart Mama, bless your..."
"Hold it! That's enough heart blessing
Here's brother Virgil"
"Lordy, lordy, lordy"
"Atta boy, Virgil and of course friends I'm Daddy Dooright!"
"No show would be complete
You wouldn't dare delete
She can't be beat, you're in for a treat, she'll sweep you off of your feet
So hang on to your seats
Prepare to meet and greet our dear sweet Mama..."
"Hallelujah friends and neighbors
Never give in to that sin and temptation that's lurking in the shadows
but constantly strive for that burning beakon on the distant horizon...ha, ha, ha, ha"
"Okay, Mama, that's enough"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha ..."
Hush Mama, Virgil!"
"Now play the piano Mama"
One afternoon in an all-night sing they were making those rafters ring
Had that audience clapping on one and three, oh mercy!
Wasn't too long before they hit a groove and then the spirit began to move
ol' Therman right over the edge and he began to preach
"Flock, a-ha
I just wanna say a few words about them discotechs
People's in there smokin', people's in there drinkin'
People's in there dancing, a-ha
I tell you flock, a-ha, them discotechs ain't nothin' but a regular Sodom and Gamore, a-ha
Where you goin', Virgil, a-ha?"
"I'm goin' over to one of those discotechs!"
"You come back here, Virgil, a-ha!"
"Never give in to sin and temptation that lurks in the shadows
but constantly strive for the burning beakon on the distant horizon
Ha, ha, ha ..."
"That's enough
Hush Mama, Virgil!"
"Now play the piano Mama!"
Well, the tears were streaming down every face
There wasn't a dry eye in the place
One woman had her eyes rolled back and she was speaking in tongues!
Even the Dooright's were moved by the sermon and Daddy reached out and hugged
ol' Therman and all did the last chorus like it never been sung
Well you've the Dooright {dooright}, Dooright {dooright}, Dooright {dooright}, Dooright {dooright}
and we invite you to help us sing our song
The Dooright...yes it's the doo-Dooright's you know you can't go wrong!
Dooright, dooright, dooright, dooright, dooright...
"Go for another octave, Virgil!"
"What was that?"
"Oh no! Virgil's done gone so slow he's exploded right there on stage friends!"
"Hallelujah!"
"Play the piano, Mama!
Friends, till we meet again keep them cards and letters comin' in
And don't foget the autographed song books for sale as you leave the building
Got pictures of the entire Dooright Family standing in front of the lavendar bus
Lordy, Virgil, will you cut that out?
You can't sing that low!
Friends, look for the Dooright bus comin' through your town real soon
Virgil! Virgil!!!"
"Virgil!"

What Christmas Should Be
What Christmas Should Be
Composer(s): Matthew Gerrard; Charlie Midnight
Performer(s): Hilary Duff
What wishes will we make when the season is near
Will your dreams be the same as they were last year
Will you ask for a little, will you ask for a lot
And when you make your list, will there be something you forgot
How 'bout peace on earth, it can't be bought or sold
How 'bout peace this Christmas and someone's hand to hold
How 'bout love in our hearts and hope for you and me
How 'bout peace on earth
That's what Christmas should be
You get all the things that you've been waiting for
Snowfall and presents, choirs singing at your door
And your season will be perfect like those picture postcard scenes
But is that the answer, is that what Christmas really means
How 'bout peace on earth, it can't be bought or sold
How 'bout peace this Christmas and someone's hand to hold
How 'bout love in our hearts and hope for you and me
How 'bout peace on earth
That's what Christmas should be
What would you sacrifice, what would you give away
For the greatest gift of all on Christmas Day
How 'bout peace on earth, it can't be bought or sold
How 'bout peace this Christmas and someone's hand to hold
How 'bout love in our hearts and hope for you and me
How 'bout peace on earth
How 'bout peace on earth, it can't be bought or sold
How 'bout peace this Christmas and someone's hand to hold
How 'bout love in our hearts and hope for you and me
How 'bout peace on earth
How 'bout peace on earth
That's what Christmas should be

Tony Joe White; Claude Lemesle; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1979
Quai de gare, soir de cafard
Retour vers la grande école
J'ai quatorze ans, elle presqu'autant
Son petit nom c'est Nicole
Elle s'en va, je reste là
Et je lui paye un bouquin
Un p'tit message entre les pages
Qu'elle va lire dans le train
Si un beau jour je dis "je t'aime"
Surtout ne t'en fais pas
Si un beau jour je dis "je t'aime"
Ce sera sûrement à toi
Depuis ce temps je suis souvent
Tout au bord du grand amour
Mais comme j'ai peur de replonger
Mes promesses tournent court
Pourtant j'y crois à chaque fois
A ce sacré bonheur
Et je m'entends distinctement
Leur mentir de tout mon cœur
Si un beau jour je dis "je t'aime"
Surtout ne t'en fais pas
Si un beau jour je dis "je t'aime"
Ce sera sûrement à toi
Ça y est, cette fois je sais
Que tu seras la dernière
T'as tout ce qu'il faut, même les défauts
Pour me prendre, pour me plaire
Pourtant t'as pas confiance en moi
Et tu crois bêtement qu'je mens
Quand je t'écris ces mots gentils
Que j'écrivais jamais avant
Si un beau jour je dis "je t'aime"
Surtout ne t'en fais pas
Si un beau jour je dis "je t'aime"
Ce sera sûrement à toi

First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1967

Candles burning low, lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice everywhere you go
Choirs singin' carols right outside my door
All these things and more
That's what Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
I see your smilin' face like I've never seen before
Though I love you madly it seems I love you more
The little cards you give me will touch my heart for sure
All these things and more
That's what Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
I feel like runnin' wild
Those angles and a little child
I caught you 'neath the mistletoe
I kiss you once then some more
I wish you a Merry Christmas baby
And Happy, Happy New Year, oh
Let's deck the halls with holly singing Silent Night
Fill the tree with angel's hair and pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up just before daylight
And all these things and more
That's what Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love

What Child Is This?
What Child Is This? - 1958 (aka Stay Away - 1968)

Composer(s): Traditional; William Chatterton Dix
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis - 1958
and multiple other artists
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The Cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king, to own him
the King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sing her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

I've got something to tell you
That I think you ought to know

And now I fin'ly got the nerve
And I'm gonna make my move
Now don't you try to turn me off
Cause it's gonna be hard to do
Ain't No Two Ways About It Baby
Your Love Was Meant For Me
Know That I Can't Do Without It
It Fits Me To A Tee
Oh There's Something About You Baby
Can't Get You Off My Mind
I Know That I Can't Live Without You
I Think About You All The Time
I've got a thing about you baby
Ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovin' you
Ain't it just like a woman
When she knows she's got a man
She'll wring you out and turn you 'bout
In the palm of her hand
And then she starts to thinkin'
Then maybe she's put you in a blind
She'll give you just a little lovin'
It'll drive you out of your mind
I've got a thing about you baby
Ain't nothing you can do
I've got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovin' you

First release by: Margaret Whiting - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Aah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's Eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received
Aah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...
My baby never told me
Exactly how I stand
She even tries to scold me
When I hold her little hand
My baby may be bashful
My baby may be shy
But I'm happy, oh, so happy
And I'll tell you why
Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
Even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
We sit each evening
And never speak
I wish each evening
Could last a week
Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
Although our conversation Is mostly just "hello"
That certain hesitation
Every time I start to go
Her little way of saying
That little word "good-bye"
Makes me happy, oh, so happy
And here's just why
Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
And even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
Oh, there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
We sit each evening
And never speak
And I wish each evening
Could last a week
Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
Even though she don't express it
She might just as well confess it
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!
We sit each evening
And never speak
And I wish each evening
Could last a week
Oh, I know my baby loves me
I can tell my baby loves me
For there ain't no maybe in my baby's eyes!

What A World We'd Have
What A World We'd Have
Composer(s): Hap Palmer
Performer(s): Hap Palmer
It's a time for love and sharing
A time to sing a joyful song
What a world we'd have
If Christmas lasted all year long
It's a time for hope and caring
For learning how to get along
What a world we'd have
If Christmas lasted all year long
Ring the bells loud and clear
So our message all can hear
Everyone on this earth
Has their own special worth
It's a time to think of others
To open up our hearts with song
What a world we'd have
If Christmas lasted all year long
It's a time to work together
To sing of peace with voices strong
What a world we'd have
If Christmas lasted all year long

Si Je Devais Mourir D'amour
Si Je Devais Mourir D'amour
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Marcel Amont
Si je devais mourir d'amour
À chaque fois
Que je pense mourir d'amour
Je serai mort je crois
Depuis longtemps déjà
Et plusieurs fois
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
Si je devais tuer d'amour
A chaque fois
Que je pense tuer d'amour
Il n'y aurais pas assez de lois
Pas assez de tribunaux
D'avocats, de prisons, d'échafauds
Pour moi
Fort heureusement l'amour
C'est comme le printemps l'amour
Périodiquement
On oublie ses tourments
Pour de nouveaux tourments
On veux encore mourir d'amour
C'est ça l'amour
Quand on aime
On veut même
Tuer l'amour
Pourtant si je devais le faire
Je le regretterais après
Mais si il n'y avais pas ça sur la terre
La vie n'aurait aucun attrait
Aussi je veux toujours
Croire que je peux toujours
Par jalousie
Par folie ou dépit
Vous tuer mesdames ay ay ay ay
Ou mourir d'amour

What A Merry Christmas This Could Be
What A Merry Christmas This Could Be
Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Willie Nelson; George Strait
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be
It was just last Christmas that we quarreled and you walked out
I knew I was wrong, but you'd come back, I had no doubt
Now a year has rolled around, it's Christmas once again
And what I'd give if you'd come walkin' in
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be
What a merry Christmas this could be

Way Out There
Way Out There
Composer(s): Bob Nolan
Performer(s): Sons Of The Pioneers
and multiple other artists
A lonely spot, I know where no man will go
Where the shadows have all the room
I was ridin' free on the old SP
Humming a southern tune
When a man came along made me hush my song
Kicked me off, way out there
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
A left and everywhere
But all I could see was a cactus tree
And a prairie dog playing there
I watched the prairie dog feed on the tumbleweed
That's his home, way out there
So I threw down my load in the desert road
Rested my weary legs too
I watched the sinking sun, make the tall shadows run
Out across that barren plain
Then I hummed a tune to the risin' moon
He gets lonesome way out there
So I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
And lost myself in dreams
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land
Then I awoke with a start
There the train comin' back on that one way track
Gonna take me away from here
As she was passin' by, I caught her on the fly
I climbed in an open door
Then I turned around to that desert ground
Saw the spot I would see no more
As I was ridin' away
I heard the pale moon say
Farewell pal
It sure gets lonesome here
