OCCASIONAL SONGS

JOY TO THE WORLD

2007-12-12T06:53:00.000-08:00

Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY

2007-12-12T06:31:00.000-08:00

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

Peace on earth (7X)

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."

CHRISTMAS WRAPPING

2007-12-12T06:14:00.000-08:00

Bah Hum.. No that's too strong!
Cause it's my favorite holiday
But all this years been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
to add to my already mad rush
just because it is the season
the perfect gift for me would be
completions and connections left from last year
world tour, aeroplanes and babies.
Met some guys but never the time
most of 98 was along those lines.

so deck the halls and trim those trees
raise up the cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas with my mates this year

Calendar picture
Frozen landscape
chill this room for twenty four days
evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
flash back to spring time,
sunny again
would have been good to go for lunch
couldn't agree when we were both free
we tried, we said we'd keep in touch,
we didn't of course till the summer time,
out to the beach to his boat could have joined him
no this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
now the calendars just one page
and of course I am excited
tonight's the night but I've set my mind
not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow
cause I bundled up too tight
last minutes have-to-dos
a few cards, a few calls
because it's R S V P
no thanks, no party lads
it's christmas eve, gonna relax
turn down all of my invites
last fall I had a night to myself
some guy called halloween party
waited all night for him to show
this time his car wouldn't go
forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
trudge on home to celebrate
in a quite way I unwind,
doing christmas right this time

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think i'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think i'll miss this one this year

Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
all ready in the oven, nice and hot
oh damn, guess what I forgot
so it's on with the boots back out in the snow
to the only all night garage but when to my wondering eyes should appear
in the line that guy i've been chasing all year
spending this one alone he said
give me a break this years been crazy
I said me too, but why are you...
you mean you forgot the papers too
then suddenly we laughed and laughed
caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this down to a very happy en-ending.

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

2007-12-12T05:51:00.000-08:00

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

INTRUMENTAL

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

O HOLY NIGHT

2007-12-12T05:31:00.000-08:00

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Refrain 1
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend!

Refrain 2
He knows our need, To our weaknesses is no stranger.
Behold your King, before him lowly bend!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!

Refrain 3
Christ is the Lord, O, Praise his name forever.
His power and glory every more proclaim!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

2007-12-12T05:10:00.000-08:00

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.

O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.

Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and
We'll have some fun
Now before I melt away."

Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

JINGLE BELLS

2007-12-12T04:57:00.000-08:00

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way;

Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

CHRISTMAS WISH

It's always the same at every Christmas
When Lord comes alive around the world
We open up our hearts
When love is in the air
It seems such a shame to May
It's a season that comes only once a year

Chorus
So let's make the Christmas wish together
It's like the best of dreams come true
Let's make the spirit last forever
This is my Christmas wish for you

My wish for you

If I could give any gift I wanted
A present to every boy and girl
I'd make it a miracle that came from God above
A picture of peace under
Where each person is touched by the power of love

Chorus

Let's make the Christmas wish together
It's like the best of dreams come true
Let's make the spirit last forever
This is my Christmas wish

For you

It's seems such a shame to May
It's a season that comes only once a year

Chorus (2X)

This is the Christmas wish I pray for you

JINGLE BELL ROCK

2007-12-12T02:40:00.000-08:00

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

CHRISTMAS

2007-12-12T02:34:00.000-08:00

I'm not supposed to feel this way
We're closing in on Christmas day
When the world is upside down
We're gonna make it through
Somehow...

Don't you worry
We'll be fine
Snow will fall
And stars will shine
Even in the worst of times
It's Christmas
For the ones you leave behind

The colours of our country still
In mother's hands and father's will
Even when we're half awake
They cannot take our heroes away (away)

Don't you worry
We'll be fine
Snow will fall
And stars will shine
Even in the worst of times
It's Christmas
For the ones you leave behind

Behind, behind, behind
Oh, hey, hey-hey-hey

Don't you worry
We'll be fine
Snow will fall
And stars will shine
Even for the ordinary
Everybody needs to carry
Everybody, have a merry Christmas
From the ones you leave behind

Behind, behind

Merry Christmas

ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

2007-12-12T02:27:00.000-08:00

Rocking around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop.

Rocking around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental
Feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly.

Rocking around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

2007-12-12T02:11:00.000-08:00

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

AS LONG AS THERE'S CHRISTMAS

2007-12-10T21:34:00.000-08:00

Belle:
There is more to this time of year
Than sleigh bells and holly
Mistletoe and snow
Those things come and go
Much deeper than snow
Stronger than the strongest love we'll know
We'll ever know

As long as there's Christmas I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll recieve
As long as there's Christmas we'll all be just fine
A star shines above us lighting your
Way and mine

Cogsworth:
Just as long as there's Christmas
There will be Christmas pud
Tons of turkey...

Mrs. Potts:
And cranb'ry sauce
And mince pies if we're good

Lumiere:
Loads of logs on the fire

The Ornaments:
Lots of gifts on the tree
All wrapped up in red ribbons...

Chip:
Wonder if there's one for me

Cogsworth:
We are due for a party
Where on earth do we start?

Fi-Fi:
I may wear my tiara
You bought me in Monmartre

Cogsworth:
All the silver will sparkle

Mrs. Potts:
And the china will gleam

Lumiere:
And we'll all be as shiny
As a brand-new centime

Chip:
After dinner we'll play games

Mrs. Potts:
'Till the morning breaks through

Lumiere:
Then we'll meet in the garden
This is what we shall do

Chip:
We will build us a snowman
That will reach up to the sky

Belle:
It will stay up until July

Belle/Chorus:
As long as there's Christmas I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive

Chorus:
As long as our guiding star shines above

Belle:
As long as there's Christmas we'll all be just fine

Belle/Chorus:
There'll always be Christmas

Belle:
So there always will be a time
When the world is filled with peace and love.

I MISS YOU MOST (AT CHRISTMAS TIME)

2007-12-02T01:48:00.000-08:00

The fire is burning
The room´s all aglow
Outside the December wind blows
Away in the distance the carolers sing in the snow
Everybody´s laughing
The world is celebrating
And everyone´s so happy
Except for me tonight
Because I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can´t get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I´m all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

I gaze out the window
This cold winter´s night
At all of the twinkling lights
Alone in the darkness
Remembering when you were mine
Everybody´s smiling
The whole world is rejoicing
And everyone´s embracing
Except for you and I

Baby I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can´t get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I´m all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

In the springtime those memories start to fade
With the April rain
Through the summer days
Till autumn´s leaves are gone
I get by without you
Till the snow begins to fall

And then I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can´t get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I´m all right...
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

CHRISTMAS DAY

2007-12-02T01:25:00.000-08:00

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

On Christmas Day
I shall return for you
My love...

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

WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES TO TOWN

2007-12-01T19:57:00.000-08:00

La La La La La La
La La La La La
La La La La La

I’m wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it’s far
He’ll find me Christmas Eve
I guess that Santa’s busy
Cause he’s never come around
I think of him
When Christmas comes to town

The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas cheer
It’s hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends who 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 seen
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 seen
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 lost will all be found
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town

That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU

2007-12-01T08:56:00.000-08:00

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, youuuuu, ooh ooh baby, oh oh

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I just want to keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay up late
To hear those magic reindeer click

'Cuz I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you, youuuu, ooh baby

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens'
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly, yeah

Ohh ohh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Ohh ohh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you, you ooh, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, ooh baby (repeat to fade)

WHITE CHRISTMAS

2007-12-01T07:58:00.000-08:00

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

SOMETHING ABOUT CHRISTMAS TIME

2007-12-01T07:41:00.000-08:00

We waited all through the year
for the day to appear
when we could be together in harmony
you know the time will come
peace on earth for everyone
and we can live forever in a world where we are free
let it shine for you and me

There's something about Christmas time
something about Christmas time
that makes you wish it was Christmas everyday

To see the joy in the children's eyes
the way that the old folks smile
says that Christmas will never go away

We're all as one tonight
makes no difference if you're black or white
'cause we can sing together in harmony

I know it's not too late
the world would be a better place
if we can keep the spirit more
than one day in the year
send a message loud and clear

[ Chorus: ]

It's the time of year when everyone's together
we'll celebrate here on Christmas day
when the ones you love are there
you can feel the magic in the air -
you know it's everywhere
There's something about Christmas time
something about Christmas time
that makes you wish it was Christmas every day

To see the joy in the children's eyes
the way that the old folks smile
says that Christmas will never go away

[ Repeat chorus ]

Please tell me Christmas will never go away

WISHING FOR THIS

2007-12-01T07:26:00.000-08:00

I can hear the bells they're ringing out
to say that it's Christmas
everybody's wearing too few grins
and checking off they're wish list
and I'm looking over mine
it's obvious that I'm hoping for something different

so drop your hands into this heart of mine
oh how it needs lifted
I want forgive and I need to be forgiven
I wanna let live and I need to do some livin'
I wanna find a light this Christmas night with you
I wanna find a light this Christmas night with you

I try to find my coat and gloves that I
will join them out there
I walk into the soft and dreamy welt
that's blowing through my head
and I feel a little numb 'cause I wait for you to come
answer this one fray

so drop your hands into this heart of mine
will you show me where
I can forgive and I can to be forgiven
I wanna let live 'cause I need to do some livin'
I wanna find a light this Christmas night with you
I wanna find a light this Christmas night with you

[ Instrumental-Bridge ]

I'm looking for a sign
it's obvious that I'm hoping for something different
so drop your hands into this heart of mine
oh how it needs lifted
I wanna forgive and I want to be forgiven
I wanna let live and I need to do some livin'
I wanna find a light this christmas night with you
I gotta find a light this christmas night with you

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

2007-12-01T07:13:00.000-08:00

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos;

Ev'rybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright;
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh;
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
For kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas to you.

(Instrumental)

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
For kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas to you,
Merry Christmas to you.

LAST CHRISTMAS

2007-12-01T06:44:00.000-08:00

Chorus:

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus:

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus:

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last Christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
