All Alone On Christmas
All Alone On Christmas
Composer(s): Steven Van Zandt
Performer(s): Darlene Love
and multiple other artists
The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark
I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start
The bells will be ringing Saint John the Divine
I get a little lonely every year around this time
The music plays all night in Little Italy
The lights will be going up on old Rockefella's tree
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
All I want for Christmas is you
(Tell me) I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Things are different since you've been here last
Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past
Maybe you can bring us some hope this year
Visions of sugar plums have disappeared
Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow
And dancing all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"
Today's celebration is bittersweet
There's mothers and children in the street
(Tell me) I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
I'm all grown up but I'm the same you'll see
I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe
Dear Santa I've been good this year
Can't you stay a little while with me right here
(Tell me) I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas

I'm Walking Behind You
I'm Walking Behind You
Composer(s): Billy Reid
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher
and multiple other artists
I'm walking behind you, on your wedding day
And I'll hear you promise, to love and obey
Though you may forget me, you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again, with a love that's new
But I shall wish again, I were kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you, wherever you go
And though we are parted, I want you to know
That if things go wrong dear, and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind
If things should go wrong dear, and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind

I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me, uh, uh

What you gonna do when the well runs dry

I'm gonna be right by your side
for you, pretty baby, I'd even die
I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me
I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me, uh, uh
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waiting for your company
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me
What you gonna do when the well runs dry
you gonna sit right down and cry
what you gonna do when I say bye, bye
all you're gonna do is dry your eye
I'm walking, yes indeed and I'm talking 'bout you and me
I'm hoping that you'll come back to me

Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt
erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier
Bald [Dann] steht das Christkind vor der Tür
(Und wenn das fünfte Lichtlein brennt
dann hast du Weihnachten verpennt)

I'm Waiting Just For You
I'm Waiting Just For You
Composer(s): Henry Glover; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Lucky Millinder
and multiple other artists
You had to leave me
All by myself, dear
And I've been crying
The whole night through
But I've been telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you
Your friends are trying
So hard to tempt me
There's no use trying
Cause I'll be true
And, darling
You don't have to worry
Nobody else will do
I know this waiting
Can drive me crazy
Don't mind the waiting
It's nothing new
For I'll be telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you
May be a long time
Before I see you
So we can do
What we used to do
But I'll be telling everybody
I'm waiting just for you
I'm waiting just for you

Advent
Advent
Performer(s): Loriot
Es blaut die Nacht
Die Sternlein blinken
Schneeflöcklein leise niedersinken
Auf Edeltännleins grünem Wipfel
häuft sich ein kleiner weißer Zipfel
Und dort, vom Fenster her durchbricht
den dunklen Tann' ein warmes Licht
Im Forsthaus kniet bei Kerzenschimmer
die Försterin im Herrenzimmer
In dieser wunderschönen Nacht
hat sie den Förster umgebracht
Er war ihr bei der Heimespflege
seit langer Zeit schon sehr im Wege
So kam sie mit sich überein
Am Nicklausabend muß es sein
Und als das Rehlein ging zur Ruh'
das Häslein tat die Augen zu
Erlegte sie - direkt von vorn' -
den Gatten über Kimm' und Korn
Vom Knall geweckt rümpft nur der Hase
zwei-, drei-, viermal die Schnuppernase
Und ruhet weiter süß im Dunkeln
Derweil die Sternlein traulich funkeln
Und in der guten Stube drinnen
da läuft des Försters Blut von hinnen
Nun muß die Försterin sich eilen
den Gatten sauber zu zerteilen
Schnell hat sie bis auf die Knochen
nach Waidmanns Sitte aufgebrochen
Voll Sorgfalt legt sie Glied auf Glied
- was der Gemahl bisher vermied -
Behält ein Teil Filet zurück
als festtägliches Bratenstück
Und packt zum Schluß - es geht auf vier -
die Reste in Geschenkpapier
Da dröhnt's von fern wie Silberschellen
Im Dorfe hört man Hunde bellen
Wer ist's, der in so tiefer Nacht
im Schnee noch seine Runde macht?
Knecht Ruprecht kommt mit goldenem Schlitten
auf einem Hirsch herangeritten!
"Heh, gute Frau, habt ihr noch Sachen
die armen Menschen Freude machen?"
Des Försters Haus ist tief verschneit
doch seine Frau steht schon bereit
"Die sechs Pakete, heil'ger Mann
's ist alles, was ich geben kann!"
Die Silberschellen klingen leise
Knecht Ruprecht macht sich auf die Reise
Im Försterhaus die Kerze brennt
Ein Sternlein blinkt
Es ist Advent

I'm Waiting For The Man
I'm Waiting For The Man
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
I’m waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I’m waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin’ uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin’ our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it’s the furthest from my mind
I’m just lookin’ for a dear, dear friend of mine
I’m waiting for my man
Here he comes, he’s all dressed in black
Pr shoes and a big straw hat
He’s never early, he’s always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I’m waiting for my man
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody’s pinned you, but nobody cares
He’s got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I’m waiting for my man
Baby don’t you holler, darlin’ don’t you bawl and shout
I’m feeling good, you know I’m gonna work it on out
I’m feeling good, I’m feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that’s just some other time
I’m waiting for my man

A Winter's Tale
A Winter's Tale
Composer(s): Mike Batt; Tim Rice
Performer(s): David Essex;
Michael Ball; Foster & Allen
The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
I can follow you no more
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows it's hard to be alone
At this time of year
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world wide scale
It's just another winter's tale
Why I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you hear
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length of your time on earth
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world wide scale
It's just another winter's tale

I'm Waiting For Ships That Never Come In
I'm Waiting For Ships That Never Come In
Composer(s): Jack Yellen; Abe Olman
Performer(s): Art Gilham
and multiple other artists
I'm waiting for ships that never come in
I wonder where they can be...
Life is only a game of poker
And "happiness" is the pot
Fate deals you five cards in the cradle
And you play, whether you like it or not
Some get a pat hand to start with
And the game doesn't seem on the square
When you look at your hand and discover
You were born without even a pair
But there's no use in kicking or squawking
Just pick up your cards and begin
To figure and plan and puzzle
While Fate looks on with a grin
Some take a chance at bluffing
And stake everything they've got
On a dinky little four-flush
And, sometimes, it wins the pot
Others will break up openers
To draw for a middle straight
They know what a chance they're taking
And they learn their mistake too late
Some can't help playing crooked
Against all good advice
But they seldom get away with it
And in the end, they'll pay the price
The most of us play straight poker
But I tell you, boys, it's hard
When you're there with both ends open
And you can't draw the winning card
Now I've always been a loser
It seems that I never can win
And I'm just a dreamer who's
Waiting for ships that never come in
I wonder where they can be

A Warm Little Home On A Hill
A Warm Little Home On A Hill
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
There's a warm little home on a hill
And the presents are hiding somewhere
And the world is so peaceful and still
You can almost hear love in the air
There's a blanket of snow on the ground
And a bright little star in the sky
And your heart knows that Santa is near
By the twinkle in everyone's eye
There's gift bringing and bells ringing
And warm little feet by the fire
There are kids playing and folks praying
And somewhere the sound of a choir
There's two people that never will part
And two stockings we still have to fill
There's a warm little place in my heart
For our warm little home on the hill

I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap
I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap
Composer(s): Don Reno; Charles Schroeder
Performer(s): Reno & Smiley
and multiple other artists
There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The Ten Commandments they tell me what to do
The twelve disciples are my road signs
And Jesus will take me safely through
There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The children of Israel used it too
They crossed the Red Sea of destruction
For God was there to see them through
There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

A Visit From St. Nicholas
A Visit From St. Nicholas
Composer(s): Clement C. Moore
Performer(s): David Timson
Down the chimney St.Nicholas came with a bound
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a pedlar just opening his pack
His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly
He was chubby and plump - a right jolly old elf -
And laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself

I'm Tying The Leaves (So They Won't Come Down)
I'm Tying The Leaves (So They Won't Come Down)
Composer(s): E.S.S. Huntingdon; J. Fred Helf
Performer(s): Grandpa Jones
Playmates were they, girl and lad
She's home today, lad feels sad
Doctor, he called, whispered low
"When the first autumn leaves fall, then she must go"
Lad, with a tear, climbs a tree
"I'll keep her here" murmurs he
Big man in blue sternly cries
"What are you doing there?" Lad replies
"I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So the wind won't blow them away
For the best little girl in the whole wide world
Is lying so ill today
Her young life must go when the first leaves fall
I'm fixing them tight so they'll stay
I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So Nellie won't go away"
Sad mother grieves, day by day
Watching the leaves, hears boy say
"You mustn't cry, for, you see
I've tied all the leaves fast up on the tree"
Doctor brings joy one sad day
Mother tells boy: "Nell will stay"
Lad at girl's side, cries with glee
"That's what I said one day in the tree
"I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So the wind won't blow them away
For the best little girl in the whole wide world
Is lying so ill today
Her young life must go when the first leaves fall
I'm fixing them tight so they'll stay
I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down
So Nellie won't go away"

A Virgin Most Pure
A Virgin Most Pure
(Traditional)
A virgin most pure, as the Prophets do tell
Hath brought forth a Babe, as it hath befell
To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin
Which Adam’s transgression hath wrapt us all in
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
At Bethlehem city, in Jury it was
Where Joseph and Mary together did pass
And there to be taxed, with many one more
For Cæsar commanded the same should be so
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
But, when they had entered the city so far
The number of people so mighty was there
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small
Could get in the city no lodging at all
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
Then were they constrained in a stable to lie
Where oxen and asses they used to tie
Their lodging so simple, they held it no scorn
But against the next morning our Savior was born
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
The King of all glory to this world being brought
Small store of fine linen to wrap him was sought
When Mary had swaddled her young Son so sweet
Within an ox manger she laid Him to sleep
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
Then God sent an Angel from heaven so high
To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie
And bid them no longer in sorrow to stay
Because that our Saviour was born on this day
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
Then presently after, the Shepherds did spy
A number of Angels appear in the sky
Who joyfully talked and sweetly did sing
To God be all glory, our Heavenly King
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
Three certain Wise Princes, they thought it most meet
To lay their rich offerings at our Saviour’s feet
Then the Shepherds consented, and to Bethlehem did go
And when they came thither, they found it was so
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide

I'm Tore Down
Composer(s): Sonny Thompson
First release by: Freddie King - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found
Well I went to the river, to jump in
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when"
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found
I love you baby with all my heart an' soul
A love like mine will never grow old
I love you in the morning and in the evening too
But ev'rytime you leave me I get mad with you
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found
I love you baby with all my might
A love like mine is out a sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe your love is true
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this when my baby can't be found
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I'm tore down, 'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

A Very Private Christmas
A Very Private Christmas
(French Version: Noël À Paris)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Dee Shipman
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Wiener Symphoniker
It's Christmas, Mary
Fairy lights are on the tree
It's Christmas, Mary
Dark and deep, the world asleep is set
For you and me
It's Christmas, Mary
It's Christmas Eve, I can't believe
The year has flown
Let's have a very private Christmas Evening
On our own
It's Christmas, Mary
Carefree moments can be bliss
It's Christmas, Mary
Here below the mistletoe
We two can slowly kiss
It's Christmas, Mary
This is our chance to touch and dance
While we're alone
And have a very private Christmas Evening
On our own
The children will be wide awake tomorrow
With noise, and toys, and snowmen dressed in white
For now let's just forget about tomorrow
Let's concentrate on you and me
Tonight
It's Christmas, Mary
Merry Christmas, I love you
It's Christmas, Mary
Dear, it's late, why hesitate
When nights like these are few
It's Chrismas, Mary
Why should we wait to celebrate
As lovers do
Let's have a very private Christmas Evening
Just for two

I'm Too Young To Marry
I'm Too Young To Marry
Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
Performer(s): Jimmie Driftwood; Wolfe Bros.
I had a gal from Arkansas
Who had a lot of pride
And when I met her Pa and Ma
Oh goodness, how alike
A purty gal from Tennessee
Sat down upon my lap
And when she started kissing me
I hollered fer my Pap
Chaw my backer, chaw my gum
Drink my whisky, drink my rum
Shoot my mouth and shoot my gun
But I'm too young to marry
I wouldn't have a married girl
I'll tell you the reason why
I'd be afraid she'd take a whirl
With some good lookin' guy
And I wouldn't have a single gal
It's very plain to see
I cannot find a single gal
Who hankers after me
Chaw my backer, chaw my gum
Drink my whisky, drink my rum
Shoot my mouth and shoot my gun
But I'm too young to marry
I found a gal with lots of buzz
And very much alive
And when I asked how old she was
She answered, "Ninety-five"
I told her I would be her boss
And started in her door
She said, "Get out, you crazy hoss
You're only ninety-four"
Chaw my backer, chaw my gum
Drink my whisky, drink my rum
Shoot my mouth and shoot my gun
But I'm too young to marry
Some day I'm gonna settle down
With some sweet Katie dear
And teach my boys to run around
Just like their Daddy did
Chaw my backer, chaw my gum
Drink my whisky, drink my rum
Shoot my mouth and shoot my gun
But I'm too young to marry
