Christmas Hymn
Christmas Hymn
Composer(s): Amy Grant - Michael W. Smith
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Praise to God whose love was shown
Who sent his Son to earth
Jesus left his rightful throne
Became a man by birth
The virgin's baby son
All creation praised Him
God incarnate come
Come to Bethlehem
Still a higher call had He
Deliverance from our sins
Come to set all people free
>From Satan's hold within
For by the sin of man we fell
By the Son of God
He crushed the power of Hell
Death we fear no more
Now we stand with strength, with power
The sons of God on earth
Faithful to the final hour
Christ's righteousness our worth
And now all praise is given
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed

It's Been A Long, Long Time
It's Been A Long, Long Time
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Sammy Cahn
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long time
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time

Christmas For Cowboys
Christmas For Cowboys
Composer(s): Steve Weisberg
Performer(s): John Denver
and multiple other artists
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains
All of the good gifts given today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range
Back in the cities, they have diff'rent ways
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades
I'll take the blanket, I'll take the reins
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open plains
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open range
It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains
So many gifts have been opened today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range
It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains

It's Anybody's Spring
It’s Anybody’s Spring
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Jack Lemmon
and multiple other artists
You think that money is everything
And yet it’s anybody’s Spring
Go make a fortune, become a king
And still it’s anybody’s Spring
And if you flash a bank roll
Do you suppose the brook would care?
Or that a rose would say
“There goes a millionaire!”
It’s more than diamonds around a ring
Because it’s anybody’s Spring
You may be born with the silver spoon
And yet it’s anybody’s moon
You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring
You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring

Christmas Eve In My Hometown
Christmas Eve In My Hometown
Composer(s): Don Upton - Stan Zabka
Performer(s): Kate Smith
and multiple other artists
There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town
'Cause there were carols in the square
Laughter everywhere,
Couples kissing under the mistletoe
I can't help reminiscing
Knowing I'll be missing
Christmas Eve in my home town
Nothing can erase the mem'ries I embrace
Those familiar footprints upon the snow
There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town
I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might
I can hear singing
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night
Wise men journeyed far, guided by a star
But though I'm not a wise man, this I know
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spen-ding
Christmas Eve in my home town

It's An Old Southern Custom
It’s An Old Southern Custom
Performer(s): Carroll Gibbons
It’s an old Southern custom
When you’re walking down the street
To bid everyone ‘good morning’
Don’t you think that’s kind of sweet?
It’s an old Southern custom
To politely lift your hat
When you pass a pretty stranger
Is there anything wrong in that?
If a lady meets a gentleman
As they did in days colonial
And the lady and the gentleman
Have intentions matrimonial
If they must be together
Every morning, noon and night
There’s a good old Southern custom
That makes everything all right

Christmas Eve (Johnny Mathis)
Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Allyn Ferguson - Sidney Shaw
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
Moonlight shining on the mistletoe
Carols singing in the snow
Soon will come the finest hour I know
It's Christmas eve
Candles lighting windows everywhere
Season's greetings fill the air
Santa travelling every thoroughfare
It's Christmas eve
There's a legend that some wise men say is true
Fall in love on Christmas eve and love lasts your whole life through
Winter evening of the holy birth
Night time full of joy and mirth
Goodwill to all and peace on earth
It's Christmas eve
Goodwill to all and peace on earth
It's Christmas eve

It's Always You
It's Always You
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
First recording/First release by: Bing Crosby - 1940/1941
Covered by multiple other artists
Whenever it's early twilight
I watch till a star breaks through
Funny it's not a star I see, it's always you
Whenever I roam through roses
And lately I often do
Funny it's not a rose I touch, it's always you
If a breeze caresses me, it's really you strolling by
If I hear a melody, it's merely the way you sigh
Wherever you are, you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love, it's always you

Christmas Eve (Celine Dion)
Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Maria Christensen - Curt Frasca
Performer(s): Celine Dion; Keres Katia
Snow falling gently to the ground
'Tis the night before
And in my heart there is no doubt
That this is gonna be
The brightest holiday
'Cause here you are with me
Baby, baby, I can't wait
To spend this special time of year with someone who
Makes me feel the special way that you do
Walkin' with you in a winter's snow
Kissin' underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve and they can see we're in love
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflected in your eyes
All my dreams are comin' true tonight
It's Christmas Eve and I can see we're in love
We'll stay up late tonight
Decorate the tree
Just look into my eyes
And I will tell you truthfully
That I don't need no Santa Claus
To hear my Christmas wish
I got you in my arms
And what could be a better gift

It's Always 4 A.M.
It's Always 4 A.M.
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Ron Anthony
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
and multiple other artists
The world is cold, the night is still
The dream is old, and so's a thrill
Some cool DJ, begins to play, a Wes Montgomerys score
When you're all alone
It's always four a.m.
It had to last, it would go on
But once it's passed, it's passed and gone
You just pretend, it didn't end
But make believe the blower
When you're all alone
It's always four a.m.
Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings
That needed bit of slumber
The phone then rings, your pour heart sings
You left the phone, wrong number
The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze
But still it's night, there are no days
And worst of all, right down the hall
There's laughter through the door
When you're all alone
It's always four a.m.
Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings
That needed bit of slumber
The phone then rings, your pour heart sings
You left the phone, wrong number
The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze
But still it's night, there are no days
And worst of all, right down the hall
There's laughter through the door
When you're all alone
It's always four a.m.
When you're all alone
It's always four a.m.

I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early this year
No sign of snow around
And yet I go around hearing

Your promise must be the reason
The happy season is here
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early this year

Christmas Dream
Christmas Dream
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Weber - Tim Rice - André Heller
Performer(s): Perry Como & The London Boy Singers; Simon Fisk; Maynard Williams
Watch me now, here I go!
All I need's a little snow
Starts me off, sets the theme, helps me dream my Christmas dream
Ev'ry year I dream it, hoping things will change
An end to the crying, the shouting, the dying
And I hope you will dream it too
It's Christmas, remember?
We've got to remember
So light the light
I'm home tonight.
I need you to warm me, to calm me, to love me
To help me to dream my Christmas dream
Crazy things said and done, ev'ry single day but one
Ev'ry night should, I believe, be the same as Christmas Eve
Nights should all be silent, days should all slow down
An end to the hurry, the noise and the worry
And I hope you believe that too
It's Christmas, remember?
Does no one remember?
The whole world needs a Christmas dream
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
To help us to dream our Christmas dream
(Lüge dirigiert die Welt, Ehrlichkeit bringt selten Geld
Jeder möcht' Sieger sein, wer verliert bleibt ganz allein
Doch manch Will' ist möglich durch die Fantasie
Du stirbst um zu leben und nimmst um zu geben)
Einmal im Jahr wird alles wahr
Zu Weihnacht vergiss nicht
Vergiss es gewiss nicht
The whole world needs a Christmas dream
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
To help us to dream our Christmas dream

Got a reason to smile

Performer(s): The Dream Weavers
and multiple other artists
My dearest, my darling, tomorrow is near
The sun will bring showers of sadness I fear
You lips won't be smiling, your eyes will not shine
For I know tomorrow that your love won't be mine
It's almost tomorrow, but what can I do
Your kisses all tell me that your love is untrue
I'll love you forever till stars cease to shine
And hope someday darling, that you'll always be mine
You heart was so warm dear, It now has turned cold
You no longer love me, for your memories grow old
It's almost tomorrow, for here comes the sun
But still I am hoping that tomorrow won't come
It's almost tomorrow, but what can I do
Your kisses all tell me that your love is untrue
I'll love you forever, till stars cease to shine
And hope someday darling, that you'll always be mine

She's so fine, she's so eccentric
And what she buys, must be authentic

Quite like a man

And I work hard (he works hard) I work overtime
It's no good, cause I can't save a dime
When I have it, I got to spend it
On my baby
'Cause I'm so dependent... ya... on love...
