Where Are You Christmas?
Where Are You Christmas?
From the film "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000)
Composer(s): Mariah Carey; James Horner; Will Jennings
Performer(s): Faith Hill;
and various other artists
Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play
My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too
Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go
Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh
If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time
I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here in silence
Fills each and every heart with love
Where are you Christmas
Fills your heart with love

Rachel (Skeeter Davis)
Rachel
Composer(s): Skeeter Davis
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Rachel, Rachel, that's the name you kept callin'
Last night while you were asleep
I kissed you and woke you and you hugged me tightly
And said you were having a dream
I teased you and asked you now who is this Rachel
You said I imagined the name
But I knew as soon as I asked you the question
That I'd hear of Rachel again.
I've noticed lately while you sleep you've been smilin'
And you've never done this before
And I've noticed lately and I just can't help but wonder
Why I never smile anymore
Well, I guess a woman has some way of knowin'
When her man don't feel quiet the same
Some other woman is making you smile now
While you slept you told me her name.
Now you lie here sleepin', I lie here cryin'
I love you I can't set you free
You're smilin' and dreamin' that you're with your Rachel
But you'll die in your sleep holdin' me
And I'll die wondering who's Rachel...

When The Snow Comes Down In Tinseltown
When The Snow Comes Down In Tinseltown
Composer(s): Charlie Midnight
Performer(s): Hilary Duff
Dear Santa, I live in Hollywood
But it's not like in the movies
Where Christmas is always snowy white
On my list, is just one wish
That it would snow tonight.....
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
You'll be dancing in Hollywood
Slippin' and sliding and sleigh riding
All over the neighborhood
You'll be rocking with a stocking on your head
So the cold wont get to you.
On Christmas Eve you can believe
That wishes do come true
Oh, when the snow comes down
Oh, in Tinseltown
On Christmas Eve you will believe
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
You close your eyes and to your surprise
You see the reindeer fly
The choir singing fa la la la la
Go walking by
Singing and ringing right along
And church bells in the air
It seems so real, that you can feel
The snowflakes in your hair
Oh, when the snow comes down
Oh, in Tinseltown
On Christmas Eve you will believe
When the snow comes down in
In the morning, when you awake
Your face all shining bright
And when you look outside you see
The palm trees dressed in white
Dear Santa, thank you
Thank you for that perfect Christmas day
Gliding down the streets of Hollywood
In a one horse open sleigh
Oh, when the snow comes down
Oh, in Tinseltown
On Christmas Eve you will believe
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow comes down
Oh, in Tinseltown
On Christmas Eve you will believe
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow comes down
Oh, in Tinseltown
On Christmas Eve you will believe
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow comes down
Oh, in Tinseltown
On Christmas Eve you will believe
When the snow comes down in Tinseltown
Oh, when the snow ................

Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney; Roger Beaulne
Performer(s): Les Baronets - 1992
Peux-tu jurer que le jour
Où nous serons pour toujours
Réunis pour la vie
De ne jamais me tromper
Avec un autre
Donner tes joies et ton amour
Si je te donne mon coeur, je dois
Savoir qu'aucun autre ailleurs, te voit
Te tient entre ces bras
Si je crois en toi, alors
Je t'en supplie
Encourage-moi, car je
Ne peux plus rien sans toi
Ton amour est tout pour moi, et je
Ne pourrai plus résister à t'aimer
Alors crois en moi et je
Vais croire en toi
Et tous les deux nous serons
Heureux et amoureux
Ton amour est tout pour moi, et je
Ne pourrai plus résister à t'aimer
Alors crois en moi et je
Vais croire en toi
Et tous les deux nous serons
Heureux et amoureux
Si je te donne mon coeur

When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney
When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney
(Traditional)
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
He began to shout
You girls and boys
Won't get any toys
If you don't pull me out
There's soot on my back
And my beard is all black
My nose is tickling too!
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
Achoo, Achoo, Achoo
't Was on the eve before Christmas Day
When Santa Claus arrived on his sleigh
Into the chimney he climbed with his sack
But he was so fat - he couldn't get back
Oh, what a terrible plight, gangway
He stayed up there all night
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
He began to yell
Oh hurry, please
It's all such a squeeze
The reindeer's stuck as well!
His head's up there in the cold night air
Now Rudolph's nose is blue!!
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo, Achoo!

Rainy Nights And Memories
Rainy Nights And Memories
Composer(s): Wayland Holyfield; Jim Rushing
Performer(s): Don Williams
It's hard to hide a ling'ring disappointment
But most of the time I wear it well
But there are times when I just can't help rememb'ring
The night you left that rainy night when my whole future fell
Rainy nights and mem'ries go together
And with ev'ry drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading on the night you were leaving
But I might as well have tried to stop the rain
The blowin' wind that moans outside my window
Seems to echo the closin' of a door
For it was then I first realized I had heard your last goodbye
And my whole world went crumblin' to the floor
Rainy nights and mem'ries go together
And with ev'ry drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading on the night you were leaving
But I might as well have tried to stop the rain

When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter
When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter
Composer(s): Johnny Marks
Performer(s): Gene Autry
and multiple other artists
When Santa Claus gets your letter
You know what he will say
"Have you been good the way you should
On ev'ry single day?"
When Santa gets your letter
To ask for Christmas toys
He'll take a look in his good book
He keeps for girls and boys
He'll stroke his beard, his eyes will glow
And at your name he'll peer
It takes a little time, you know
To check back one whole year!
When Santa Claus gets your letter
I really do believe
You'll head his list, you won't be missed
By Santa on Christmas Eve

Si Je Pouvais Revivre Un Jour Ma Vie
Si Je Pouvais Revivre Un Jour Ma Vie
(English Version: If Only I Could Live My Life Again)
Composer(s): Louis Amade; Gilbert Bécaud; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Pierre Cavalli et Son Orch.; Dalida
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie
J'oublierai bien ou j'ai pleuré naguère
Je construirai ce que j'ai démoli
Et je ferai des anciennes misères
Un feu de joie de minuit
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie
Sur les débris de ma pauvre bohème
Je serais bien te dire que je t'aime
A toi pour qui je ne l'ai jamais dit
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie
Je fretterai quelques vaisseaux immenses
Pour embarquer tout ceux que j'aime ici
En oubliant les gens sans importance
Au centre de mon oublie
Dans ce destin de voyage au long court
Toi tu serais maître de l'équipage
Nous partirions pour le plus grand voyage
En choisissant bien sur le point du jour
Si je pouvais revivre pour l'amour

When My Heart Finds Christmas
When My Heart Finds Christmas
Composer(s): Harry Connick Jr.
Performer(s): Harry Connick Jr.;
Stephen Trio Kummer; Jim McDonough
In my eyes are valentines
And Easter eggs and New Year's wine
But when my heart finds Christmas
My eyes will shine like new
All the days are kind to me
But fall too far behind to see
But when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too
Let the angels sing around us
Christmas time is here
Let our children's love surround us
Laughing and filled with cheer
My heart told me once before
To find my dream and search no more
And when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too

That Lucky Old Sun
That Lucky Old Sun
Composer(s): Beasley Smith; Haven Gillespie
First release by: Frankie Laine - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
Up in the morning out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat ‘til i'm wrinkled and grey
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear lord above can't you know i'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

When It's Christmas Time In Texas
When It's Christmas Time In Texas
Composer(s): Benny McArthur
Performer(s): George Strait;
Rick Orozeo; La Tropa F
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll be swingin' 'round the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a Summer day
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me
When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me
When it's Christmas time in Texas
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
People on the go, children's faces all aglow
Wond'rin' what Santa's gonna bring
Grandpa's been chasin' Grandma around
Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe
Everything is right, the Lone Star's shinin' bright
And it's a Texas Christmas to me
When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me
And we're wishing you all a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Texas and me

Si Je N'avais Plus
Si Je N'avais Plus
(Italian Version: Se Non Avessi Più)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Si je n'avais plus
Si ne n'avais plus
Plus qu'une heure à vivre
Une heure et pas plus
Je voudrais la vivre
Au creux de ton lit
Car j'aurais ma mie
Ma peur à combattre
Penché sur ta vie
Pour l'entendre battre
Je pourrais garder
Au fond de mon cœur
Sous la terre froide
Un peu de chaleur
Que j'emporterais
Si je n'avais plus
Si je n'avais plus
Plus qu'une heure à vivre
Une heure et pas plus
Je voudrais la vivre
A l'aube d'un jour
Sur un lit d'amour
Pour n'avoir à dire
Que des mots d'amour
Pour te voir sourire
Et ne plus penser
Et ne plus penser
Qu'un autre après moi
Te verras sourire
Qu'un autre après moi
Pourra t'enlacer
Et dans un baiser
Et dans un baiser
Le corps apaisé
Le cœur allégé
D'un million de doutes
Mon dernier sommeil
M'ouvrira la route
Qui mène au soleil

When It Comes To Christmas
When It Comes To Christmas
Composer(s): Teddy Gentry; Randy Owen; Ron Rogers
Performer(s): Alabama
Well, I'm glad little Johnny wants that remote control
I know I'm gonna run it as fast as it will go
And Jenny wants ev'ry game that Nintendo makes
It's just around the corner and I can't wait
I've got my stocking hangin', it's time to go to bed
I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head
I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did
Yeah, when it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid
Well, I still like shakin' presents underneath the tree
And tryin' to figure out what ol' Santa's got for me
Oh, I get so excited on Christmas Eve
I try my best to close my eyes, but I can't sleep
Well, I've got my stocking hangin', its time to go to bed
I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head
I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did
Yeah, when it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid
When it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid
Just a kid
Still a kid

That Noise
That Noise
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
Can you hear it, that noise?
It’s been driving me potty all day
I woke up this morning in my usual lively way
Peeped out from the bedclothes at another dreary day
Feeling full of fun, I threw the alarm clock at the cat
Turned over and went back to sleep and thought that that was that
But it wasn’t, it was ‘that’
I yawned and stretched and scratched a bit
Then tumbled out of bed
But still I felt this rhythm sorta pounding in my head
I thought, well, this is funny, but it can’t go on all day
I think I’ll just ignore it, then it’s bound to go away
Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seems to go right?
I started out to work and met the postman on his round
I said, Good morning postman, can you hear that funny sound?
He listened and he said, d’you mean that *>#^%$# noise?
I said, that’s right
He said, that’s funny, I can’t hear a thing
Have you ever tried to push a postman through a letterbox?
It’s not easy
I went up to a policeman
I said, can you hear that noise?
He looked at me as if I was a gang o’ Teddy boys
I said, you should arrest it for disturbing people’s peace
He said
All right, my lad, move on before I call the police!
Have you ever tried to push a policeman through a letterbox?
It’s all right till you get up to his boots
I went to see a wise man who said, leave it all to me!
I’ll analyse the noise for only twice my normal fee
He came back three days later, and said
It’s tricky to explain
In fact, I don’t know what it is but there it goes again
Have you ever tried to push a wise man through twice his normal fee?
It’s all right until you get up to his letterbox
No, that can’t be right
I went down to the studios to record my latest hit
A sentimental ballad that I thought was full of potential
But every time I tried to sing this very lovely song
This funny noise keeps starting up and makes me go all wrong
But I’m not gonna be beaten by it
I’m gonna record this hit ballad if it kills me
Because it’s a very pretty tune
“What kind of fool am I, who never...
Give me an A, will you, Ian?
Lovely…
What kind of fool am I, who never fell-in…(plays note twice more)
Who never…fell-in-love…”
Will you please try and stop that noise
Will somebody please try and stop that noise

When Christmas Comes To Town
When Christmas Comes To Town
Composer(s): Glen Ballard; Alan Silvestri
Performer(s): Matthew Hall; Meagan Moore; Teresa Carpio; Doug Hammer
La la la la ...
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas tear
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
When Santa's sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lies will all be found
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town

Si Je Mourais Là-Bas
Si Je Mourais Là-Bas
Composer(s): Guillaume Apollinaire
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat; Christian Gonon
Si je mourais là-bas sur le front de l'armée
Tu pleurerais un jour ô Lou ma bien-aimée
Et puis mon souvenir s'éteindrait comme meurt
Un obus éclatant sur le front de l'armée
Un bel obus semblable aux mimosas en fleur
Et puis ce souvenir éclaté dans l'espace
Couvrirait de mon sang le monde tout entier
La mer les monts les vals et l'étoile qui passe
Les soleils merveilleux mûrissant dans l'espace
Comme font les fruits d'or autour de Baratier
Souvenir oublié vivant dans toutes choses
Je rougirais le bout de tes jolis seins roses
Je rougirais ta bouche et tes cheveux sanglants
Tu ne vieillirais point toutes ces belles choses
Rajeuniraient toujours pour leurs destins galants
Lou si je meurs là-bas souvenir qu'on oublie
Souviens-t'en quelquefois aux instants de folie
De jeunesse et d'amour et d'éclatante ardeur
Mon sang c'est la fontaine ardente du bonheur
Et sois la plus heureuse étant la plus jolie
O mon unique amour et ma grande folie

When Children Rule The World
When Children Rule The World
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Clark Sterling
Hams and yams and cookies and candy
chimes of joy and candles aglow
Hymns and carols - choirs are forming everywhere that you go
Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl
Nobody cries or tells any lies
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
Doves and kings and shepherds and wisemen came together followed the star
They all gathered down in the manger, they came from so very far
Midnight is clear, the spirits are here, angels that guard each boy and girl
No hunger or thirst, the last will be first
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
All the greatest wishes are granted, let us sing, let innocence reign
All the prayers are finally answered, blessed and free of all pain
Towers of fire rise ever higher, magical flags will be unfurled
The power of song, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
Pere Noël, Pere Noël - Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the so strong
(the night when the children) Rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
(when the children) Oh
(when the children)
(when the children) They rule the world
(when the children) Ooh, yeah
(when the children) When the children rule the world
(when the children) When the children rule the world
(when the children) When the children rule the world
(when the children)

Teddy Bear's Last Ride
Teddy Bear's Last Ride
Performer(s): Red Sovine
I was there that day and saw her crying
After mamma Teddy Bear said 10-4 good bye
She turned off the old CB and just looked at me
And I heard the flood and her tears ran free
And the gratitude shone in the face like the sun
For all those things those big tough truckers had done
A hand full of change and a few dollar bills
But most of all a little crippled boys dream fulfilled
I guess I was mamma Teddy Bear’s best friend
I lived next dorr to her and little Teddy Bear since
I don’t know when that’s why now before my memory grows old the rest of this story just has to be told
I’d come over and sit with Teddy Bear while his mamma was away
And play little games to help him pass the day
In the afternoons he’d wheel that chair over to the radio and go on the air
And one by on e he’d break them all
I never knew a trucker not to answer his call
He’d just grins and ask em not to tell his mamma
But I was pretty sure she knew what was going on
But time has a way of taking it’s toll and much too fast mamma Teddy Bear was growing old
I watched as the silver touched her hair and her one aime in life was Teddy Bear
Then I saw another change take place little Teddy Bear was slowly losing the race
I knew it and his mamma knew it too
And there is nothing in this whole world either one of us could do
He’d talk less often on the old CB and there were times when he’d hardly talk with me
He took to sitting in the window and watching the road
And the big 18 wheelers just rolling by with their load
Finally he was too weak to get out of bed and one day he looked at me and said
Would you turn on the radio and go on the air
Tell all my trucker friends what’s happened to Teddy Bear
Well the hardest thing I’ve done in my time
Was to pick up that mike and say breaker 1-9
This is for all you truckers who care
I’m calling for your little friend Teddy Bear
He says to tell you he misses you all and he’s awful sorry he can’t answer your calls
They all came back and jerked with me
And said they catch him later on the CB
They never did catch Teddy Bear again
Because late one night the angel came
And the last thing he said before he died was
Tell all my trucker friends how I enjoyed the rides
Mamma Teddy Bear couldn’t tell them and neither could I
Because each time we look at that radio
We both started to cry
The funeral was pearched at the chaplin and little Teddy Bear started on his last ride
As the precision round the little city square the sounds of a hundred engines filled the air
The truckers had dropped their tailers back somewhere behind
And one by one they fell in line
They all tried to comfort mamma Teddy Bear
And it seems like the warmth of god just filled the air
Slowly they formed a circle around the little grave
And a lot of big men cried that day as they paid their respects
On Teddy Bear’s last ride
