Yes, I'm Your Angel


Yes, I'm Your Angel
Performer(s): John Lennon



Yes, I'm your angel
I'll give you everything
In my magic power
So make a wish
And I'll let it come true for you
Tra, la, la, la, la
Yes, you're my fairy
You give me everything
I ever wanted from life
Have I made a wish
And is that why I have you
Tra, la, la, la, la
We believe in pumpkins that turn into princess
And frogs that turn into prince
We believe in moons that smile to us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes
Tra, la, la, la, la
Yes, I'm so pretty
You're so dizzy
And we're so happy every day
Let's make a wish
And let it come true for us
Tra, la, la, la, la
I'm in your pocket
You're in my locket
And we're so lucky in every way
We make a wish
And let it come true for us
Tra, la, la, la, la
We believe in houses built in the sky
And love that lifts us high
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulders
And brings our shadows together
Tra, la, la, la, la
Yes, our hearts are one
Our bodies, too
And it's so good (um) every time
We make a wish
And let it come true for you, too
Tra, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, my love
I'm your angel
I'll give you everything
In my magic power
So make a wish
And I'll let it come true for you
Tra, la, la, la, la, la

All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle


All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle
Composer(s): Gladys Benton
Performer(s): Dora Bryan



Christmas come but once a year, they're really all the same
I never know just what I want
It really is a shame
Yesterday I saw something that is my pride and joy
All I want for Christmas is a real live little boy

All I want for Christmas is a Beatle
Not a teddy bear, just a Beatle
I told mum nothing else would do
There are four, so she can have one too
I don't care which ever one she gets me
Ringo, Paul, John, George, they're all the same
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle

There's nothing else I really want for Christmas
So mama please help me get my wish
Don't tell Dad 'cause I don't think he'll agree
To a Beatle hanging on our Christmas tree
But if I know I'm really gonna have one
Then I'll know my life will be complete
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle

All the girls are going to love me
When I introduce him as my Christmas toy
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle!

I'm Writing A Letter To Heaven


I'm Writing A Letter To Heaven
Composer(s): Doris Mayer; Bill Boyd
Performer(s): Wesley Tuttle
and multiple other artists



Once I had my darlin' beside me
To brighten the night and the day
But now she has left me forever
The angels have led her away

I'm writing a letter to heaven
To one that I always will love
I'm sending my heart in this letter
In care of the angels above

My life is so empty without her
The world is so lonesome and grey
I'm sending my heart in this letter
And that's where it always will stay

I know that I'll miss her forever
And that I'll be true through the years
And that's why I'm writing this letter
With ink that is made from my tears

All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You


All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You Composer(s): Buck Owens; Don Rich Performer(s): Buck Owens and multiple other artists



Here it is Christmas Day and you're many miles away
And I wonder if you feel the way I do
In the air there's happiness but in me there's loneliness
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

Presents wrapped in green and gold have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh how happy I would be to find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

Presents wrapped in green and gold have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh how happy I would be to find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

I'm With You


I'm With You
Composer(s): Mickey Jupp
Performer(s): Delbert McClinton



Here comes the weekend, honey
What's going on?
Do we put our feet up, honey
Or call it all night long?
Oh, baby, whatever...
I'm With You

Are we staying home, are we going downtown?
Are we dressing up baby, or dressing down?
Oh, whatever...
Baby, I'm With you

You're my sunshine in the morning
You're my stars at night
You're all I ever dream about
Anything you want
Well, baby, that's alright
Anything you don't
I can learn to live without as long as...

I'm with you, till the Sun stops burning
I'm with you, till the world stops turning
Till the end of time
Oh, I'm with you

You're my sunshine in the morning
You're my stars at night
You're all I ever dream about
Anything you want
Well, baby, that's alright
Anything you don't
I can learn to live without as long as...

I'm with you, till the Sun stops burning
I'm with you, till the world stops turning
Till the end of time, baby, I'm with you
Till the end of time
Oh, baby, I'm with you

All I Want For Christmas


All I Want For Christmas
Composer(s): Ronnie Rogers
Performer(s): Toby Keith



You could shop until you drop
At every mall in town
Searching for that special gift for me
Cowboy boots, a hunting suit
That would be just fine
But you can't buy the biggest wish of mine

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you
Twelve more months of loving
A heart so sweet and true
Make me a promise
That's the best that you can do
All I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

I could make a list of my requests
And send them to Santa Claus
Tell him what a good man I've been
He could land up on our rooftop
Bring it all on Christmas eve
But you've still got the greatest gift for me

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you
Twelve more months of loving
A heart so sweet and true
Make me a promise
That's the best that you can do
All I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

I could be so happy
Holding you by firelight
Listening to you whisper
I'm yours for life

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you
Twelve more months of loving
A heart so sweet and true
Make me a promise
That's the best that you can do
All I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

Honey, all I want for Christmas
Is a new year with you

I'm Wearing My Heart Away From You


I'm Wearing My Heart Away From You
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris



I wonder where you are tonight, my love
As all alone I sit and dream
I wonder if your heart's with me tonight
And if the same stars for you gleam
I sometimes fear there is another love
Some fairer face has won your heart
But Ah, I hope the day will never come
The day that we two must live apart

The bees are droning in the wild wood, love
The flowers their tiny heads bow low
The birds are singing soft and plaintively
They miss your dear kind face I know
From o'er the meadow comes a faint perfume
It whispers gently, "Love you're true"
But Oh, my darling, if you only knew
I'm wearing my heart away for you

I'm wearing my heart away for you
It cries aloud, "My love be true"
I dream of you by night, I long for you by day
I'm wearing my heart away for you

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 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
