When Christmas Comes To Town


When Christmas Comes To Town
Composer(s): Glen Ballard; Alan Silvestri
Performer(s): Matthew Hall; Meagan Moore; Teresa Carpio; Doug Hammer



La la la la ...
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town

The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas tear
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way

When Santa's sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lies will all be found
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town

Si Je Mourais Là-Bas


Si Je Mourais Là-Bas
Composer(s): Guillaume Apollinaire
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat; Christian Gonon



Si je mourais là-bas sur le front de l'armée
Tu pleurerais un jour ô Lou ma bien-aimée
Et puis mon souvenir s'éteindrait comme meurt
Un obus éclatant sur le front de l'armée
Un bel obus semblable aux mimosas en fleur

Et puis ce souvenir éclaté dans l'espace
Couvrirait de mon sang le monde tout entier
La mer les monts les vals et l'étoile qui passe
Les soleils merveilleux mûrissant dans l'espace
Comme font les fruits d'or autour de Baratier

Souvenir oublié vivant dans toutes choses
Je rougirais le bout de tes jolis seins roses
Je rougirais ta bouche et tes cheveux sanglants
Tu ne vieillirais point toutes ces belles choses
Rajeuniraient toujours pour leurs destins galants

Lou si je meurs là-bas souvenir qu'on oublie
Souviens-t'en quelquefois aux instants de folie
De jeunesse et d'amour et d'éclatante ardeur
Mon sang c'est la fontaine ardente du bonheur
Et sois la plus heureuse étant la plus jolie

O mon unique amour et ma grande folie

When Children Rule The World


When Children Rule The World
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Clark Sterling



Hams and yams and cookies and candy chimes of joy and candles aglow
Hymns and carols - choirs are forming everywhere that you go
Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl
Nobody cries or tells any lies
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

Doves and kings and shepherds and wisemen came together followed the star
They all gathered down in the manger, they came from so very far
Midnight is clear, the spirits are here, angels that guard each boy and girl
No hunger or thirst, the last will be first
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

All the greatest wishes are granted, let us sing, let innocence reign
All the prayers are finally answered, blessed and free of all pain
Towers of fire rise ever higher, magical flags will be unfurled
The power of song, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the so strong
(the night when the children) Rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
(when the children) Oh
(when the children)
(when the children) They rule the world
(when the children) Ooh, yeah
(when the children) When the children rule the world
(when the children) When the children rule the world
(when the children) When the children rule the world
(when the children)
(when the children)..............

Teddy Bear's Last Ride


Teddy Bear's Last Ride
Performer(s): Red Sovine



I was there that day and saw her crying
After mamma Teddy Bear said 10-4 good bye
She turned off the old CB and just looked at me
And I heard the flood and her tears ran free
And the gratitude shone in the face like the sun
For all those things those big tough truckers had done
A hand full of change and a few dollar bills
But most of all a little crippled boys dream fulfilled
I guess I was mamma Teddy Bear’s best friend
I lived next dorr to her and little Teddy Bear since
I don’t know when that’s why now before my memory grows old the rest of this story just has to be told
I’d come over and sit with Teddy Bear while his mamma was away
And play little games to help him pass the day
In the afternoons he’d wheel that chair over to the radio and go on the air
And one by on e he’d break them all
I never knew a trucker not to answer his call
He’d just grins and ask em not to tell his mamma
But I was pretty sure she knew what was going on
But time has a way of taking it’s toll and much too fast mamma Teddy Bear was growing old
I watched as the silver touched her hair and her one aime in life was Teddy Bear
Then I saw another change take place little Teddy Bear was slowly losing the race
I knew it and his mamma knew it too
And there is nothing in this whole world either one of us could do
He’d talk less often on the old CB and there were times when he’d hardly talk with me
He took to sitting in the window and watching the road
And the big 18 wheelers just rolling by with their load
Finally he was too weak to get out of bed and one day he looked at me and said
Would you turn on the radio and go on the air
Tell all my trucker friends what’s happened to Teddy Bear
Well the hardest thing I’ve done in my time
Was to pick up that mike and say breaker 1-9
This is for all you truckers who care
I’m calling for your little friend Teddy Bear
He says to tell you he misses you all and he’s awful sorry he can’t answer your calls
They all came back and jerked with me
And said they catch him later on the CB
They never did catch Teddy Bear again
Because late one night the angel came
And the last thing he said before he died was
Tell all my trucker friends how I enjoyed the rides
Mamma Teddy Bear couldn’t tell them and neither could I
Because each time we look at that radio
We both started to cry
The funeral was pearched at the chaplin and little Teddy Bear started on his last ride
As the precision round the little city square the sounds of a hundred engines filled the air
The truckers had dropped their tailers back somewhere behind
And one by one they fell in line
They all tried to comfort mamma Teddy Bear
And it seems like the warmth of god just filled the air
Slowly they formed a circle around the little grave
And a lot of big men cried that day as they paid their respects
On Teddy Bear’s last ride

When A Child Is Born


When A Child Is Born (Adapted from: Soleado - 1974) Composer(s): Ciro Dammico; Fred Jay Performer(s): Michael Holm - 1974 and multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1974 - On Ne Vit Pas Sans Se Dire Adieu 1974 - Tränen Lügen Nicht 1974 - Todo El Tiempo Del Mundo



A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It's all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born

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
Was the colour of my own only love

Love maker, make me a lovesong to sing

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

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

Si Je Dis "Je T'aime"


Si Je Dis "Je T'aime"
(Adapted from: I've Got A Thing About You Baby - 1972)
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

What Christmas Means To Me


What Christmas Means To Me Composer(s): Anna Gaye; Horgay Gordy; Shadee Hasan First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



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) (Adapted from: A New Northern Dittye Of The Lady Greene Sleeves - 1580) 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
That my eyes are on you baby
Since a long time ago
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

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

My baby never told me

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
