Sankofa


Sankofa
Composer(s): Hamiet Bluiett; Cassandra Wilson
Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson; Hamiet Bluiett; Peven Everett



Oh Sankofa, high on the Heavens you soar
My soul is soon to follow you, back to yesterday's moon
will it remember me?
Back to yesterday's sun, It will rekindle me
Rekindle the spirit into tomorrow and high on the wind
Sankofa flies again and again

Oh Sankofa, high on the Heavens you soar
My soul is soon to follow you, back to yesterday's moon
will it remember me?
Back to yesterday's sun, It will rekindle me
Rekindle the spirit into tomorrow and high on the wind
Sankofa flies again and again

Oh Sankofa, high on the Heavens you soar
My soul is soon to follow you, back to yesterday's moon
will it remember me?
Back to yesterday's sun, It will rekindle me
Rekindle the spirit into tomorrow and high on the wind
Sankofa flies again and again

Looking For Christmas


Looking For Christmas
Composer(s): Clint Black
Performer(s): Clint Black



I’m looking for christmas, I’ve gotta find
Christmas, flying back in my mind
Does anyone know of this christmas, a long ago christmas
Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing
Only bringing the long traveled message of love

I’m looking for christmas, in time for this
Christmas, a day far and away
And could a star show me christmas,
The town of old christmas
Where truth is ringing, a virgin’s
Bringing the newborn king and the
Lord’s own messiah of love

And I close my eyes and I’m kneeling there in the stall,
And could I be the wine man, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom for all

I’m looking for christmas, I know I’ll find christmas
Imparted right from the start
And everyone knows of this christmas
The very first christmas
Where christ is guiding, all with tidings
Still his light is residing here in us all

And I close my eyes, and a thousand lifetimes recall
Aren’t we all wise magi, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom
As born on this christmas and each christmas day
We are sharing his wisdom creating a kingdom
As born on this christmas and each
Christmas day that shall fall

Sanguine


Sanguine
Composer(s): Jacques Prévert; Henri Crolla
Yves Montand; Bob Castella; Jacques Prévert



La fermeture éclair a glissé sur tes reins
Et tout l'orage heureux de ton corps amoureux
Au beau milieu de l'ombre a éclaté soudain
Et ta robe en tombant sur le parquet ciré
N'a pas fait plus de bruit
Qu'une écorce d'orange
Tombant sur un tapis
Mais sous nos pieds
Ces petits boutons de nacre
Craquaient comme des pépins
Ô Sanguine joli fruit!
La pointe de ton sein
A tracé tendrement
La ligne de ma chance
Dans le creux de ma main.
Sanguine, joli fruit
Soleil de nuit

Lonely This Christmas


Lonely This Christmas
Composer(s): N. Chinn; M. Chapman
Performer(s): Mud



Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a christmas all alone
That's where I'll be
Since you left me

My tears would melt the snow
What can I do
Without you
I've got no place, no place to go

It'll be lonely this christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This christmas

Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to things you have to say
I just break down, as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit christmas Tree

It'll be lonely this christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This christmas

You remember last year, when you and I were together
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that christmas must have been made
for us
Cause darlin' this is the time that you really need love
When it means so very very much

It'll be lonely this christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This christmas

Merry christmas darlin', wherever you are

Sangue E Pudins


Sangue E Pudins
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Abel Silva
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Não quero saber quem sou
Morro de medo
Nem quero saber aonde vou
É muito cedo
Talvez se eu arrancasse
De minha língua o sinal
Talvez se eu inventasse
O juízo final
Talvez se eu prometesse
Sangue e pudins
Ou se eu costurasse
A roupa dos querubins

Mas o que eu quero saber
É o que apronta
Esse lado do teu rosto
E o que faz o sossego morar
No que está posto
Não guardo segredo
Mas sou bem secreto
É que eu mesmo não acho
A chave de mim

Lonely Pup (In A Christmas Shop)


Lonely Pup (In A Christmas Shop)
Composer(s): Arthur Alexander
Performer(s): Adam Faith



Soft brown eyes that seem to say
Stop a while, I want to play
Would you, could you, do please stop
He's a lonely pup in a Christmas shop

Thank you lady, thank you sir
Is there someone else that you'd prefer
He's not selfish, just a flop
Though he wags his tail in a Christmas shop

Mister Santa, if you would
Send him someone, oh so good
Someone who will take him home
For ev'ryone to see

Christmas time, a Christmas tree
With a happy family
Pity him, he's got no Pop
He's a lonely pup in a Christmas shop

Mister Santa, if you would
Send him someone, oh so good
Someone who will take him home
For ev'ryone to see

Christmas time, a Christmas tree
With a happy family
Pity him, he's got no Pop
He's a lonely pup in a Christmas shop

Lonely Christmas Eve


Lonely Christmas Eve
Composer(s): Buddy Thomton
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Christmas trees, white snow
Bright lights, nowhere to go
Just like a ship out on the sea
I’ll be alone this Christmas Eve

Cold winds, clouds of gray
Just like the moon you went away
And left me here alone to greeve
I’ll have a Lonely Christmas Eve

No Christmas joy for me this year
No Christmas gift from you my dear
Just blue tears and memories
I’ll have a Lonely Christmas Eve

Snowflakes, meisletoe
Christmas corrols so soft and low
But like the solders overseas
I’ll have a Lonely Christmas Eve

Bright stars, Christmas bells
Seems to me they try to tell
That my name's not on the tree
I’ll have a Lonely Christmas Eve

No Christmas joy for me this year
No Christmas gift from you my dear
Just blue tears and memories
I’ll have a Lonely Christmas Eve

Sången Föder Dig Tillbaka


Sången Föder Dig Tillbaka
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Sven-Olof Walldoff
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



När ödet gjorde slut på sagan
Grät jag som alla andra barn
Nattens stjärna lyste svag
Ingen morgondag för evigt

Jag gömde mig i sorg och klagan
Tills nån slog an en välkänd ton
I en sång jag gav till dig
Så kommer du till mig som förut

Sången föder dig tillbaka
Minnen slår ut i blom
Jag ser en kort sekund ditt leende
Ett ljus när världen känns tom.
Sången föder dig tillbaka
Och allt vi gav varann
Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder
Av tider som försvann

Varm vänskap ger oss ljuva minnen
Dom som blir kvar går mest i dur
Formar sig till harmoni
Och blir en symfoni av tankar

Sången föder dig tillbaka
Minnen slår ut i blom
Jag ser en kort sekund ditt leende
Ett ljus när världen känns tom.
Sången föder dig tillbaka
Och allt vi gav varann
Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder
Av tider som försvann

Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder
Av tider som försvann

Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen Alle Gleich


Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen Alle Gleich
Composer(s): Johann Sebastian Bach
Performer(s): Von Trapp Family



Lobt Gott, ihr Christen alle gleich
in seinem höchsten Thron
Der heut schleußt auf sein Himmelreich
und schenkt uns seinen Sohn

Er kommt aus seines Vaters Schoß
und wird ein Kindlein klein
Er liegt dort elend nackt und bloß
in einem Krippelein

Er äußert sich all seiner G'walt
wird niedrig und gering
Und nimmt an sich eins Knechts Gestalt
der Schöpfer aller Ding

Er wird ein Knecht und ich ein Herr
das mag ein Wechsel sein
Wie könnt es doch sein freundlicher
das Herze-Jesulein

Heut schleußt er wieder auf die Tür
zum schönen Paradeis
Der Cherub steht nicht mehr dafür
Gott sei Lob, Ehr und Preis

Sang Pour Sang


Sang Pour Sang
Composer(s): Eric Chemouny; David Hallyday
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



J'ai pas toujours trouvé les mots
Pour bercer tes rêves d'enfant
Ensemble on est devenu grand

De bons points en double zéro
Paralysés par tant d'amour
On s'apprivoise au jour le jour

J'ai jamais su trouver les gestes
Qui pouvaient soigner tes blessures
Guider tes pas vers le futur

À tous les signaux de détresse
Dis, comment j'aurais pu faire face
Pris entre le feu et la glace

Au delà de nos différences
Des coups de gueule des coups de sang
À force d'échanger nos silences
Maintenant qu'on est face à face
On se ressemble sang pour sang

Comme si les battements de nos cœurs
Etaient sûr la même longueur d'ondes
Les lignes de nos mains se confondent

Tu me renvoies comme un miroir
Mes doutes et mes éclats de rires
La promesse d'un autre avenir

Peu importe si la vie menace
Ce qui reste en nous d'innocent
Puisqu'on se comprend à présent

Peu à peu la douleur s'efface
On en garde plus qu'une trace
Comme une offense au temps qui passe

Au-delà de nos différences
Des coups de gueule des coups de sang
A force d'échanger nos silences
Maintenant qu'on est face à face
On se ressemble sang pour sang

Au-delà de nos différences
A force d'échanger nos silences
Maintenant qu'on est face à face
On se ressemble sang pour sang

Tous les deux sang pour sang
Tout les deux sang pour sang
Oui, sang pour sang

Little Toy Trains


Little Toy Trains (aka Old Toy Trains) (French Version: Petit Garçon - 2000) Composer(s): Roger Miller First recording/First release by: Roger Miller - 1967 Covered by: The Forester Sisters - 1987 and multiple other artists



Little toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums, comin' from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed

Close your eyes, listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells

Bringin' little toy trains and little toy tracks
Little toy drums, comin' from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed

So, close your eyes and listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells

Bringin' little toy trains and little toy tracks
Little toy drums, comin' from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed

Sandy (Ronny & The Daytonas)


Sandy
Composer(S): Buzz Cason; Bucky Willkin
Performer(s): Ronny & The Daytonas



Hey, girl, with sunlight in your hair (wo-o-o-oh)
It hurts me so to see you standing there (wo-o-o-oh)
O-O-Oh Sandy, you laugh and run away
You just don't care

Your kiss was warmer than the sun (wo-o-o-oh)
And I can't forget all the things we've done (wo-o-o-oh)
O-0-Oh Sandy, do you remember when
I was the one?

You've been around since
That new boy who found you
Took you uptown
So far from me

But someday, you're good times will be through (wo-o-o-oh)
And I know just what you're gonna do (wo-o-o-oh)
You'll come back, Sandy; you know I'll still be here
Waiting for you

(Sandy, Sandy, I love you)

Little Sandy Sleighfoot


Little Sandy Sleighfoot
Composer(s): Jim Savarino Crane
Performer(s): Jimmy Dean



His name is Sandy Sleighfoot
And oh so sad was he
For though he stood just 4 feet tall
His feet were 3 feet 3
He tried to help make Santa's toys
But with his feet so long
He'd trip and fall and break them all
Just every thing went wrong

Now little Sandy Sleighfoot
Don't you feel so blue
Even with your feet so long
God has a place for you
The other kids made fun of him
They laughed at him with glee

But Sandy Sleighfoot learned one day
Without skis he could ski
So when the night 'fore Christmas Eve
The reindeer stable burned
He skied down hill and saved the deer
By remembering what he'd learned

Now everybody loves him
And Santa Loves him, too
And ever since on Christmas eve
He's helped bring gifts to you

Sandy (Larry Hall)


Sandy
Composer(s): Terry Fell
Performer(s): Larry Hall



Sandy, Sandy
Took every sweet thing like sugar and spice
Ice cream and candy, everything nice
They put it together, they gave it a name
Sandy, Sandy, I'm a fool for Sandy

Her eyes are like heaven, her lips are devine
Young love is tender, gentle and kind
And everywhere I go, there you will find
Sandy, Sandy, I'm a fool for Sandy

Took every sweet thing like sugar and spice
Ice cream and candy, everything nice
They put it together, they gave it a name
Oh Sandy, Sandy, I'm a fool for Sandy
Sandy, Sandy, Sandy
Sandy, Sandy

Little Saint Nick


Little Saint Nick Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Mike Love First release by: The Beach Boys - 1963



Well way up north were the air get cold
There's a tale about Christmas that we've all been told
About a real famous guy all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled
He's little Saint Nick
Oh he's a little Saint Nick
Just a little bobsled we call it old Saint Nick
And she'd rock a toboggan with a four-speed stick
She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa gives the gas, man just watch her peel
She's little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick

Run, run reindeer
Run, run reindeer
Run, run reindeer
Run, run reindeer

He don't miss no one

Now he's haulin' through the snow at a frightening speed
And a half a dozen reindeer with Rudy the lead
Well he's gotta wear shades 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise
He's little Saint Nick
He's little Saint Nick
Merry Christmas
Christmas comes this time each year
Merry Christmas
Christmas comes this time each year
Merry Christmas, Yeah
Merry Christmas
Christmas comes this time each year
He's little Saint Nick
Merry Christmas

Sandy (John Travolta)


Sandy
Composer(s): Louis St. Louis; Scott Jared Simon
First release by: John Travolta - 1978



Stranded at the drive in, branded a fool
what will they say
Monday at school?
Sandy, can't you see, I'm in misery
We made a start, now we're apart
there's nothin' left for me
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder why-y-y oh why you left me, oh Sandy
Oh Sandy, maybe someday, when highschool is done
Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be one
In heaven forever and ever we will be
oh please say you'll stay, oh
Sandy Sandy my darlin', you hurt me real bad
you know it's true
But baby, you gotta believe me when I say
I'm helpless without you
Love has flown all alone, I sit, I wonder why-y-y oh why you
left me, oh Sandy Sandy
Sandy, why-y-y-y
oh Sandy

Little Red Riding Hood's Christmas Tree


Little Red Riding Hood's Christmas Tree
Composer(s): E. Dawson; D. Donez; A. Donnelly
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



All the quaint little folks from Storybook Land
Are happy as they can be
‘Cuz they’ll all be there and they all will share
Little Red Riding Hood’s Christmas Tree

For Little Boy Blue there’s a silver horn
To call the cows from the fields of corn
For Merry King Cole there’s a pipe and bowl
On Little Red Riding Hood’s Christmas Tree

A mama doll for Little Bo Peep
To take the place of her little lost sheep
For Pussy in the Well, there’s something swell
On Little Red Riding Hood’s Christmas Tree

For Cinderella there’s a beautiful dress
A bracelet, and a ring
Hi Diddle Diddle, the cat will play the fiddle
Four and twenty blackbirds are gonna sing

(There’s a) A magic pail for Jack and Jill
They can fall downhill and the water won’t spill
For Goldilocks, there’s a music box
On Little Red Riding Hood’s Christmas Tree

Sandy (Joe Dassin)


Sandy
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Sandy, oh Sandy !
Ensemble on va faire une jolie photo d'amour
Pour deux francs on est unis pour toujours

Sandy, oh Sandy
Tu n'as que huit ans, j'en ai deux mille, mais tu sais
Que si tu m'attends, je t'epouserai

Elles seront sans doute effemeres nos noces de carton
Et celles d'une vie entiere nous les dechirons

Sandy, oh Sandy
J'en ai connu des fêtes qui donnaient sur le neant
On ne sais plus jouer quand on est grand
Sandy...

Avec elle c'est autre chose, ce n'est plus un jeu
Avec elle ce n'est plus un rôle, c'est presque serieux

Sandy, oh Sandy
Petit chaperon rouge, je te donne rendez-vous
Ce soir tu vas croquer le mechant loup

Sandy, Sandy
Ce soir c'est la premiere fois qu'un diable comme moi
Souris a un ange comme toi
Sandy...

Little Donkey


Little Donkey
Composer(s): Eric Boswell
Performer(s): The Beverley Sisters;
and various other artists



Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load

Been a long time, little donkey
Through the winter’s night
Don’t give up now, little donkey
Bethlehem’s in sight

Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way

Little donkey, little donkey
Journey's end is near
There are wise men waiting for a
Sign to bring them here

Do not falter, little donkey
There's a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey
To a cattle shed

Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way

Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way

Sandra


Sandra
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
'Til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life

She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There's so many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody
It's hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Oh but that happens now and again
She might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
A Martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop

She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids
You know I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There's so many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

Oh they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom if ever they go
Once you've paid for the sitter and parking the car
There's no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)
It was real touch and go for a while

She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids
You know I wanted to be like my, my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There's so many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed
