Christmas Day (Dido)
Christmas Day
Composer(s): Dido Armstrong - Rollo Armstrong
Performer(s): Dido
The young gentleman came riding past
On a snow-blue winter's day
He asked to drink by our fire
And I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
And then he turned and said to me
Your eyes are green like summer grass
Your lips are red like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty
And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day
And the night will come, but I won't sleep
As I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
But still my heart goes with him
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
For the day that I'll be leaving
Father knows, my sister knows
And my friends, they're happy for me
And the priest he says, you should thank God
For the blessing of such beauty
And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love, I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return, my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day

It's All In The Movies
It's All In The Movies
Composer(s): Merle Haggard; Kelli Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard
They were so much in love with life, happy in every way
But love the movie began with, some how got lost in the play
Like a fire burning out of control
you go caught up in the actor's role
and you cried on my shoulder
when it came to an end
But that's all in the movies
it won't happen to you and I
That's all in the movies
so baby don't cry
It's all in the movies
it won't happen to us I know
That's all in the movies
just a bad picture show
But that's all in the movies
it won't happen to you and I
That's all in the movies
so baby don't cry

Christmas Cookies
Christmas Cookies
Composer(s): Aaron Baker
Performer(s): George Strait; The Oak Ridge Boys
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, and bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep
And she'll take the ones I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkly things on top
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, and bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse
Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
She gets mad that they're all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
Sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
Now there's a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There's 15 minutes for some kissin' and'a huggin'
That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long!
Ah, Take it away boys
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, and bells, and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe...

It's All In The Game
It's All In The Game
(Adapted from: Melody in "A" Major - 1912)
Composer(s): Charles Dawes; Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Tommy Edwards - 1951
and multiple other artists
Many a tear has to fall
but it's all... in the game
All in the wonderful game
that we know... as love
You had words with him
and your future's looking dim
but these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
but it's all... in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
with a sweet, bouquet
Then he'll kiss... your lips
and caress your waiting fingertips
and your heart will fly away
Once in a while he won't call
but it's all... in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
with a sweet, bouquet
Then he'll kiss... your lips
and caress your waiting fingertips
and your heart will fly away

Christmas Cometh Caroling
Christmas Cometh Caroling
Composer(s): Father Andrew
Performer(s): Voices Of Jimmy Joyce
and multiple other artists
Oh, Christmas cometh caroling
And all the merry bells do ring
To tell how angels once did sing
Kneeling about their baby King
Born of our Lady Mary
And it would be a shame to tell
That only clang of brazen bell
Should play Earth's part His praise to swell
It must be you and I as well
Who kneel to Lady Mary
Then shrive you clean and wash you white
Keep vigil well this holy night
While angels carol in the height
We shall receive e're dawn of light
Bread from the Babe of Mary

It's All I Can Do
It's All I Can Do
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars
and multiple other artists
one too many times I fell over you
once in a shadow I finally grew
and once in a night I dreamed you were there
I canceled my flight from going nowhere
it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)
one too many times I twisted the gate
when I was crazy I thought you were great
I kept my renditions of you on the wall
where holiday romance is nothing at all
it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)
you wait in the wing like a Saturday flirt
protecting the judge, you don't want to get hurt
once in a moment it all comes to you
as soon as you get it you want something new
it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)
it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)
it's all I can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all I can do
it's all I can do
(it's all I can do)

Christmas Children
Christmas Children
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Twiggy;
and multiple other artists
Christmas children peep into Christmas windows
See a world as pretty as a dream
Christmas trees and toys
Christmas hopes and joys
Christmas puddings rich with Christmas cream
Christmas presents shine in the Christmas windows
Christmas boxes tied with Christmas bows
Wonder what's inside
What delights they hide
But till Christmas morning no one knows
Won't it be exciting if it snows?
I suppose that children everywhere
Must say a Christmas prayer
Till Santa brings their Christmas things
Christmas children live in a Christmas daydream
Waiting for the magic to unfold
Wondrous things to eat
Every Christmas treat
Rich or not the Christmas pot of gold
Hypnotizes children young and old
Christmas children hunger for Christmas morning
Christmas day's a wonder to behold
Young ones' dreams come true
Not so young ones, too
I believe that story we've been told
Christmas is for children young and old

It's All Behind Us Now
It's All Behind Us Now
Composer(s): Allan Rich; Barry Manilow; Howie Rice
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
I spent my whole life thinking
Oh, that there could not be
Anyone in this world
Who'd show me they care
Who'd really be there to love me
Now you're holding me
And I see in your eyes
That you've been lonely too baby
We've been all alone on our own for so long
But it's all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it's all behind us now
Every time I looked for love
It looked the other way
Now love has turned around
It's smiling at me
Now someone loves me
All the nights in the moonlight
With no one to hold me
Take a good look at us baby!
We've been all alone on our own for so long
But it's all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it's all behind us
Every dream is coming true
Now that I am holding you near
Happiness without an end
I feel alive again
Suddenly I can not even remember when
We were all alone on own for so long
But it's all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well, it's all behind us now

A Christmas Carol (Skip Ewing)
A Christmas Carol
Performer(s): Skip Ewing
I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of three or four
climbed up on to my knee
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
So I asked her what's your name and what can Santa give to you
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could
Then I sat her down and told her, now remember to be good
She said I will, then walked away, turned and waved goodbye
And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see old Santa cry
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
And made a few arrangements with the County Children's Home
And they told me it would be all right to pick her up today
Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say
My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Well Merry Christmas Carol
I love you, welcome home

It's All A Part Of Love
It's All A Part Of Love
Composer(s): Benny Davis; Ted Murray
Performer(s): Jackie Wilson
One day your sad, the next day you're glad
And it's all a part of love
One day your heart may be breaking and then
The next day it's mended again
One day you laugh,the next day you cry
And it's all a part of love
This is the story for thousands of years
Love's made of laughter and tears
There's good and there's bad
in the game of love they say
But there's much more good than bad, for
People fall in love, everyday
Aw, but one day your dream, goes
tumbling it seems,and it's all a part of love
Next day you kiss and you're in heaven above
And it's all a part of love
Yes, its all a part of love

Christmas Can't Be Very Far Away
Christmas Can't Be Very Far Away
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Roger Cook
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Little bits of heaven
Floating gently by the window
Soon this dirty city will be
Covered with a new snow
Let's put on our winter boots
Go outside and play
Christmas can't be very far away
Weather girl says "bundle up"
It's gonna be a cold one
I'll put on my wooly hat
You'll wear your dad's old stetson
Pretty lights are everywhere
Shining night and day
Christmas can't be very far away
Let's take a walk downtown and
Go dream shopping in the mall
The kids can do the santa thing
Photographs and all
We'll get the biggest tree this year
And trim it to the top
And spend a whole lot more
Than what we've got
But so what
Come next spring
I know we will be
Ready for the sunshine
Right now throwin' snowballs
At each other's such a fun time
Kids will think we're crazy
For a while and that's okay
Christmas can't be very far away
Christmas can't be very far away

It's About Time
It's About Time
Composer(s): John Denver; Glen D. Hardin
Performer(s): John Denver
There’s a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again
Who’s to say you have to lose for someone else to win
In the eyes of all the people the look is much the same
For the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game
It’s about time we realize it we’re all in this together
It’s about time we find out it’s all of us or none
It’s about time we recognize it these changes in the weather
It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time
There’s a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see
And a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me
I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land
With his lips upon our Mother’s breast he makes his strongest stand
It’s about time we start to see it the Earth is our only home
It’s about time we start to face it we can’t make it here all alone
It’s about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind
It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time
There’s a man who is my brother, I just don’t know his name
But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same
And it hurts me when he’s hungry and when his children cry
I too am a father and that little one is mine
It’s about time we begin to turn the world around
It’s about time we start to make it the dream we’ve always known
It’s about time we start to live the family of man
It’s about time, it’s about changes and it’s about time
It’s about peace and it’s about plenty and it’s about time
It’s about you and me together and it’s about time

Christmas Can't Be Far Away
Christmas Can't Be Far Away
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
First recording/First release by: Eddy Arnold and His Guitar - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
Christmas can't be far away
A neighbour tipped his hat to me this mornin'
The landlord even smiled and said good-day
And I want you to know a stranger said hello
Christmas can't be far away
Old tight wad down the street is buying candy
To pass out to the neighbour kids at play
The town is on the go
The weather man said snow
Christmas can't be far away
The small fry on our block have all been saving
And now their hiding things and looking sly
Mum will get that doodad she's been craving
And Dad'll get his usual Christmas tie
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
Good will is in the air
You feel it everywhere
Christmas can't be far away
Christmas can't be far away

When mistletoe and tinsel glow
Paint a yuletide valentine
Back home I go to those I know
For a Christmas auld lang syne
And as we gather 'round the tree
Our voices all combine
In sweet accord to thank our Lord
For a Christmas auld lang syne
When sleigh bells ring and choirs sing
And the children's faces shine
With each new toy we share their joy
With a Christmas auld lang syne
We sing his praise this day of days
And pray next year this time
We'll all be near to share the cheer
Of a Christmas auld lang syne
In sweet accord to thank our Lord
For a Christmas auld lang syne
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everybody

Christmas At Home
Christmas At Home
Composer(s): Rita MacNeil
Performer(s): Rita MacNeil
Memories of walking home
From the Christmas party in the falling snow
Exchanging gifts, exchanging smiles
Hanging pine cones in the hall
Merry Christmas meant lots of whispering
Special feelings to bridge the difference
All the years we came together
For Christmas at home
And the radio played in the distance
O Night, O Holy Night
Memories of old Jack Frost
Frozen pictures upon the glass
Changing right before your eyes
With a warm breath from the happy child
Merry Christmas meant lots of whispering
Special feelings to bridge the difference
All the years we came together
For Christmas at home
Memories of walking home
From the Christmas party in the falling snow
Exchanging gifts, exchanging smiles
Hanging pine cones in the hall
Merry Christmas meant lots of whispering
Special feelings to bridge the difference
All the years we came together
For Christmas at home
And the radio played in the distance
O Night, O Holy Night
