There is only in Christmas in year
Let's make sure it dosen't end in tears
I'll find a way to get you here
Even if nobody's going any where'cause
Some way on that day, you'll be here
Then you won't be goin'
Just lettin' you know it
'Cause you're every holiday cheer
There is only in christmas in year
The way things are goin'
I really hope we'll make there
I'll even stop the carols from singin'
Even if they have to wait 'till spring an'
I'll find a way to get you here
Even if nobody's going any where 'cause
Some way on that day, you'll appear
Then you won't be goin'
I'll make sure it's snowin'
You're every holiday cheer

I felt my heart rise over the city tonight
Eyes open wide for the lights are so bright
Anything is possible when we open our minds
Dreams aren't just dreams
They're possibilities you call on
This year's been a cold one
And I look to the new
Nothing to hold on to
I've done all I can do
Anything is possible
When we open our minds
Dreams aren't just dreams
They're possibilities you call on
Let the snow fall
Let the winds push and pull
I'm not going anywhere
All I need is right here
This year, with you
Let's write a new chapter in our lives
Starting now, celebrate everything in your heart
It knows how
Anything is possible
When we open our minds
Dreams aren't just dreams
They're possibilities you call on

Rock This Holiday
03:20

No one likes a party more than I do
No one holds seasons closer to heart
Yeah bless the pretty angels who keep drinks comin'
And keep my nose a glowin’ through the night
This year I'm having Christmas in my swim trunks
I drink from coconuts and sun my behind, yeah uh
I'll be swingin’ in my hammock 'neath the palm trees
I’m gonna rock this holiday in sunshine
I don't miss the snow I got ice cubes in tall glasses
And I'm busy watchin' candy passin' by, yeah
You can keep your boots my flip flops
Are on beaches walkin'
Far from the husslin' crowd, an' losin' my mind
Yeah this year I'm having Christmas in my swim trunks
I'll drink from coconuts and sun my behind, yeah
I'll be swingin in my hammock 'neath the palm trees
I’m gonna rock this holiday in sunshine
I'll be swingin in my hammock 'neath the palm trees
I’m gonna rock this holiday in sunshine

Holiday in your Heart
03:05

A holiday is not the only reason
To be in a festive season
A holiday is not the only reason
To let joy into your heart
Let joy into your heart, into your heart
And be special for someone
An’ keep a holiday in your heart
Keep a holiday in your heart
When you're over charged at the super mart
Keep a holiday in your heart
When you lost your car in the parking lot
Keep a holiday in your heart
When it's so cold that the car won't start
And be special, for someone,
An keep a holiday in your heart
Keep a holiday in your heart
When the tangled Christmas lights
Don't give a spark
Keep a holiday in your heart
When the cat goes an’ rips the tree apart
Keep a holiday in your heart
When you burned the ham
An your family's drinking beer from the can
But be special for someone
An keep a holiday in your heart
Keep a holiday in your heart
When you cut your hand
Wrapping' gifts for your niece who's a tart
Holiday in your heart
Because you never ever get, what you want
Holiday in your heart
As you pretend the New Year
Will bring a new start
And be special for someone
An’ keep a holiday in your heart
Be special for someone
An’ keep a holiday in your heart
Keep a holiday in your heart
While you wash the dishes all alone
Every one passed out
Holiday, in your heart
When your sister Mary brings dry turkey
On the 12th of January
Holiday in your heart
When the government killed off every last hope
But be special for someone
An’ keep a holiday in your heart
Yes be special for someone
An keep a holiday in your heart

Hallelujah
You say you're comin' back for Christmas
You say you're back on Christmas day
I hear that you'll be back this Christmas
Looks like I'm gonna have my way
You know it's been a long time comin'
So long time that you been away
I can't remember when you last came callin'
It's Christmas kisses on Christmas Day
Christmas kisses on Christmas Day
Snow shines bright on a starry, starry night
We hold hands sippin' nog in our pajam's
Hallelujah
Snow birds frolic on the white satin cake
We'll have lovin' let there be no mistake
Hallelujah

Johnny Mathis sings, Bing does his thing
Buble’ renovates, Burl Ives, Sinatra and his mates
Snow falls, winter bites, cold stalls, everything gone white
Sliding down hills, staying awake
Listening for reindeer
At our house it's Christmas
At our house it's Christmas
It's getting there, to the big day
We're on our way, I can hardly wait
Writing cards, hiding presents
All the sweet things, a fire place
Johnny Mathis sings, Bing does his thing

Stars & Mistletoe
02:44
|
|||
|
Sittin' front the fire
Watchin' the snow glow
Through the window
All I know is I'm not too old
To believe in stars and mistletoe
Furry tails on animals who’s nose glow
Find their way into my dreams
You'll be sure that nobody really knows
If the trees will be white or green
When cinnamon and clove
Warm your hands and cold toes
Then some one's knocking on your door
Cards arrive in multiple of 5, a mail man
Greets you with a rosy-cheeked 'hello'
You turn around and hear the sound
Of the world suddenly covered in snow
And you wonder just where did the year go?
For now you're heart has that little glow
Sittin' front the fire
Watchin' the snow glow, through the window
All I know is, I'm not too old
To believe in stars and mistletoe
To believe in stars and mistletoe

Angels In The Snow
03:45

I was goin’ back home but I didn't know
It was my very last time to have my mama to hold
Were all on a road from spring to winter's close
But no one gives you a sign
That it's your last Christmas home
You might get a feeling it won't be like this again
Deep down you know to hold on
To every moment before it ends
Were all on a road from spring to winters close
But no one gives you a sign
That it's your last Christmas home
Come to me in the spirit show me angels in the snow
Smile at me through the sunshine
Wink at me in the moons halo glow
I'll feel your love when i hear a choir sing high and low
Mama show me that your here
This Christmas time, for I got to know
Mama show me your here
This Christmas time
Show me angels in the snow
I made my plans, an away I did go
I drove for days not knowing
How I'd get there, going this slow
How I was pressed for time with nothing
Further from my mind and alone
But no one gives you a sign
When it's your last Christmas home

Christmas Is For Folks
03:27
|

|
Christmas is for folks
Folks who keep you in their heart
In heart we're never a part
Shall we rejoice in the art?
The art of the heart
You've been gone a lot
You're out there alone
I sometimes think you forgot
How much you're missed back home
Missed more than you know
And hoped someday you'll just stop
As much as you've needed to roam
It's time to take it back home
Time to let everything else go
While you're out in the unknown
When you're all that I got
You're trying to follow your stars
You're lost and you're losing a lot
Now it's time to take it back home
Time to let everything else go
You've been trying so hard
To find where you belong
Maybe find new start
But at what kind of cost?
You're luckier than you have known
You have that someplace you can go
Now it's time to take it back home
Time to let everything else go

Christmas Wish List
03:16
|
|||
|
I have room for you in my house
I have room for you in my heart
I have time to spend with you
I know time doesn't do
What you want from its start
I won't be sharing everything with you I guess
For I know I'm not on you Christmas wish list
I know I'm not on your Christmas wish list
I'd bend like a tree for you in the wind
And push my roots down deep so our leaves green
All day long I play and pretend
For I know I'm not on your
Christmas wish list
I know...
Verse 4
It's not a crime to change or depart
But the decent thing to do is not break my heart
I don't want to drink myself to sleep
I don't wanna raise my voice or fist
I won't send cards to the abyss, for I know I'm not on your
Christmas wish list
No I know, I know...
I was a fool for your charms
I should have known and stayed alarmed
With all your purring like a cat
For you to claw me, bite and scratch
My little leaf has blown down the street
Into my home I retreat
And as I sip my bitter sweet
I know I'm not on your
Christmas wish list

Jesus Pie
02:29
|

Jesus has a birthday
So it happens so do I
We're born on the same day
But his parties make me cry
Jesus has a birthday
But has more friends worldwide
Everyone gets presents
Still I sit and wonder why
Why is there a tree in our living room oh so high?
I want my birthday cake but all I get is Jesus pie
Santa has a twinkle for
This Jesus in his eye
Lots of people drinking, singing songs and
Stopping by, oh
Why is there a tree in our living room oh so high?
I want my birthday cake but all I get is Jesus pie
Mom says Santa flies through the rain in a red light
Calls him a dear, and when I sleep
He will visit her here
Jesus has a birthday, he's thirty three, I am five
He always ruins my party
What must I do go and die?
Why is there a tree in our living room oh so high?
I want my birthday cake but all I get is Jesus pie
Mom says Santa flies through the rain in a red light
Calls them deer, and when I sleep
He will visit her here
Jesus has a birthday
So it happens so do I
We're born on the same day
But his parties make me cry
Jesus has a birthday
But has more friends worldwide
Everyone gets plastered
Still I sit and wonder why
Why is there a tree in our living room oh so high?
I want my birthday cake but all I get is Jesus pie

A Little Song To Sing
02:40
|
|||
|
Hello and happy holiday
Because the year has run away
I really must reach out and say
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Bells are ringing loud and clear
I hope your house is filled with little
Rare and tasty treats and playful
Packages hidden here and there
I hope that you're excited and
I hope you'll really like it
It's just a little song to sing
Not an expensive shinny thing
I hope it means a little more
At least that's what I’m aiming for
Than shopping in the general store
Or sending cards with other people's words
2nd time:
Than sending cakes that taste of cherry glue
Whatever has come your way
It's time to take the time to say
I hope its been a happy year
Your life is filled
Both far and near with friends
May you know I'm always here
I think of you I always do
At this time of year
Oh and at other times too
I hope that you're excited and
I hope you'll really like it
It's just a little song to sing
Not an expensive shinny thing
I hope it means a little more
At least that's what I’m aiming for
Than shopping in the general store
Or sending cakes that taste of cherried glue
I'll be drinking warm mulled wine
Just because it's round that time
Cheers to you and hope to see you soon
Before the year's anew
Hello and happy holiday
Because the year has run away
I really must reach out and say
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Ding dong ding

To Christmas Past
03:19
|

|
Lookin’ back, lookin’ back
To Christmas past and all we had
It wasn't much but the, bunch of us
Huddled up an’ the walls would bust
We stood on stairs, fought for chairs
The house was cold an yet we warmed it up
Lookin’ back, lookin’ back
To Christmas past and all we had
All we had was all of us
A little gift, if we could, to spread
Some cheer if only money would
Now we talk, by telephone
Some send a cards, some share a note
If I could, go back in years
To Christmas past, take me there
Lookin' back, lookin’ back
To Christmas past, and all we had
All we had, was all of us

Born into this World
03:42
|

|
Take away the dark take away the pain
Take away the scar on each and every day
He was born into this world to bring light
Heaven sings tonight
Joyous is the sight
Up comes the sun, clear, clean and bright
No one stands alone we have been
Shown the way to go
Man shall finally, go and be set free
Not an empty hand, no hunger aching thee
Distant are my sighs, colour warms my face
Lifted by his grace, humanity at peace
