Darkness Is Falling
Darkness Is Falling
Composer(s): F. Jay; H. Rulofs
Performer(s): Boney M
When darkness is falling and shadows grow long
It's time for the children to sing this old song
It tells of the coming of wonders untold
Forgotten is winter, its fury and cold,
hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
When darkness is falling and shadows grow long
It's time for the children to sing this old song
It tells of the coming of wonders untold
Forgotten is winter, its fury and cold,
hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
When darkness is falling and stars fill the sleigh
The waiting is over and we all know why
It's time for celebrating and having a feast
Because of the tidings that come from the east
hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing

Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All young children to slay
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee
And ever morn and day
For thy parting neither say nor sing
By, by, lully, lullay

La belle chose qu'un soleil d'aurore
Jetant au loin l'éveil de sa lumière
Un frisson passe sur la Terre entière
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'aurore
Mais sur mon rêve plus radieux
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux!
La belle chose qu'un soleil en flammes
Par les midis d'été brûlant la plaine
Des senteurs chaudes soufflent leur haleine
La belle chose qu'un soleil en flammes!
Mais sur mon rêve, plus radieux
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux!
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'automne
Jetant l'adieu du soir aux fleurs lassées
Dans l'âme émue veillent les pensées
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'automne!
Mais sur mon rêve, plus radieux
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux!

Mommie pop the popcorn and we'll string it on the tree
Apples nuts and candy, oh what a Christmas feel
Daddy play the organ and we'll all sing Silent Night
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
Aunt Annie Belle will be here, Uncle Bill and their kids
We'll make ballets on the floor just like we always did
Grandma bake the pies and cakes, oh what a pretty sight
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
A good old country Christmas...
A good old country Christmas...

It's Not Where You Start
It's Not Where You Start
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Tommy Tune
and multiple other artists
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
It's not how you go, it's how you land
A hundred to one shot, you call him a clutz
Can out run the favorite, all he needs is the guts
Your final return will not diminish
And you can be the cream of the crop
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
And you're gonna finish on top
If you start at the top, you're certain to drop
You've got to watch your timing, better begin by climbing
Up, up, up the ladder
If you're going to last, you can't make it fast, man
Nobody starts a winner, give me a slow beginner
Easy does it my friend, conserve your fine endurance
Easy does it my friend, for that's your life insurance
While you are young, take it rung after rung after rung after rung
after rung after rung after rung after rung
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
It's not how you go, it's how you land
A hundred to one shot, you call him a clutz
Can out run the favorite, all he needs is the guts
Your final return will not diminish
And you can be the cream of the crop
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
And you're gonna finish on top!

It's Not Unusual
It's Not Unusual
(French Version: Je Ne Fais Pas D'histoires - 1965)
Composer(s): Les Reed; Gordon Mills
First release by: Tom Jones - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, I want to die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's just a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual, it happens every day
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at any time
It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you
Woh, woh, woh, who
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Corrido Navideño, Ranchera
Corrido Navideño, Ranchera
Composer(s): Cenobia 'Bubba' Hernandez
Performer(s): Brave Combo
En un establo humilde y pobre
En una noche obscura y fria
Nacio El Nino Jesus Cristo
De La Reina La Virgen Maria
El aliento de los animales
Dio calorcito para El Santo Niño
Su papa fue un carpintero
La Mama Virgencita y pura
La Palabra de Dios Incarnacido
Acceptaron Los Santo Novios
No hay tan grande amor como este
Servidoes de raza humana
Una gran luz salio de los cielos
Ilumino todo el santo pueblo
Y con eso llegaron tres reyes
Con incenso mirra y oro
Para alabar El Rey Infante
El hijo de Dios Posderoso
Que diche de ser uno del los pastores
Para aver estado alli esa noche
Pero an mis sueños y en mis pensamientos
Ofrenzco todas mis oraciones
Para paz y amor en la tierra

It's Not Too Late
It's Not Too Late
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): Justin Hayward
You say to me - why can’t it be
Just like it was once before
Well you lead the way and I’ll find the tree
You catch the leaves as they fall
Don’t you know that it’s not too late - the time’s not past
Don’t you know it’s not too late
And even though I tell myself - all is lost
Somewhere there’s a spark of hope
Somehow the world keeps turning
Promising a better day
Somewhere the spark is burning - away
If we were free - to do as we please
What would we change - you and I
To hold back the night - to do what is right
To live under bright blue blue sky
Don’t you know that it’s not too late - the time’s not past
Don’t you know it’s not too late
And even though I tell myself - all is lost
But somewhere there’s a spark of hope
Somehow the world keeps turning
Promising a better day
Somewhere the spark is burning - away
As we look to the horizon
Way out on the sea
We see the sun still rising
Just for you and me
When we were young - life was so strange
So complicated we would cry
But when we grow old
Will mystery hold us both in it’s spell as time goes by
Don’t you know that it’s not too late

Comment C'est Fait La Neige?
Comment C'est Fait La Neige?
English Title: Snowball
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Au coeur de la brousse africaine
Saint Nicholas fait sa tournée
Quand ils ont vu sa hotte pleine
Les petits noirs ont demandé
Avec de grands yeux étonnés
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait la neige
Et comment la reconnaîtrai-je
Lorsque j'irai dans ton pays
Dis, un sapin à quoi ça ressemble
Est-ce vrai qu'ils ont sur leurs branches
Tout plein de petites bougies
Est-c'aussi joli qu'on le dit
Pourquoi n'en a-t-on pas ici
Saint Nicholas pose sa hotte
Et cherche les petits souliers
Oui mais voilà, dans les paillotes
Il n'y a pas de cheminée
Et les petits noirs vont nu-pieds
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait la neige
Et comment la reconnaîtrai-je
Lorsque j'irai dans ton pays
Dis, un sapin à quoi ça ressemble
Est-ce vrai qu'ils ont sur leurs branches
Tout plein de petites bougies
Est-ce aussi joli qu'on le dit
Pourquoi n'en a-t-on pas ici
S'il était né dans la savane
On aurait vu Jésus l'enfant
Plutôt qu'entre le boeuf et l'âne
Venir au monde en souriant
Entre le lion et l'éléphant
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait la neige
Et comment la reconnaîtrai-je
Lorsque j'irai dans ton pays
Dis, dis-nous comment c'est fait un ange
Ont-ils vraiment les ailes blanches
Les mains et la figure aussi
Les anges sont-ils tous ainsi
Pourquoi n'en a-t-on pas ici
Dis ...

It's Not Supposed To Be That Way
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
and multiple other artists
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
And like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
Play with real fire till the dawn
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you...

Come Rejoice All Good Christians
Come Rejoice All Good Christians
Come rejoice, all good Christians
And rejoice now, I pray
For joy our Redeemer
Was born on this day
In the city of David
And a cottage so poor
Then rejoice and be your merry
We have blessings in store
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
Our Lord he was born
Of a Virgin most pure
Within a poor stable
Both safe and secure
He was guarded most safely
With Angels so bright
Who told three poor Shepherds
Those things in the night
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
They said
Be not fearful
But to Bethlehem go
Then rejoice and be chearful
For 'tis certainly so
For a young Son to Joseph
Is in Bethlehem born
Then rejoice, all good Christians
And cease for to mourn
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
And when those three Shepherds
Did to Bethlehem come
And arrived at the stable
Then in they did run
Where they found blessed Mary
With Jesus her Son
There they found our Lord sleeping
And thus they begun
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
With the sweetest Hallelujah
The Heavens did rejoice
With the Saints and the Angels
And all with sweet voice
Crying Glory and honour
To our Heavenly King
In the clouds of the air
Then this Host they did sing
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
Then well may we Christians
That dwell on the earth
Rejoice and be glad
For sweet Jesus his birth
Who brought us salvation
If we mind but the same
Then let all in the nation
Sing praise to his name
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day
With true zeal and honour
Let us joyfully sing
In praise of our salvation
To our Heavenly King
To our Heavenly Father
That remaineth above
And to our dear Saviour
That redeem'd us with love
And therefore be your merry
Rejoice and be your merry
Set sorrows away
Christ Jesus our Saviour
Was born on this day

Performer(s): Jefferson Starship; Mickey Thomas
Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get, get what we can
And it's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream, without a plan
(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
When push comes to shove
You got to fight for what you love
You do what you must, do what you can
(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over
(It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
(Don't go giving in)
It's not over 'til we get it right
Get it
The odds are against us
But you know we still stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over
'Til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
Don't go giving in now
It's not over 'til we get it right
Believe me
It's not over 'til it's over

Composer(s): Al Stillman; Robert Allen
First release by: Johnny Mathis - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists
It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as I can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
