White Christmas

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, oh

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

Oh, 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, oh

Oh, 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, ooh

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

The Christmas Song

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
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe (mistletoe)
Help 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 every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

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

Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas

Yeah, yeah
And so I'm offering this simple phrase (phrase)
To kids from one to ninety-two (oh, yeah)
Although it's been said (it's been said)
Many times (many times), many ways (many wayss)
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you (to you)

Ooh yeah, yeah (Merry Christmas)
So merry Christmas (Merry Christmas) (Happy New Year) and a Happy New Year
(Happy New Year)
(Merry Christmas) to you, ooh (you)

Winter Wonderland

Ooh

Sleigh bells ring are ya' listenin'
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
To sing a love song
While we stroll along
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown (Parson Brown)
He'll say "Are you married?"
We'll say "No man
But you can do the job when you're in town"

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown (Parson Brown)
He'll say "Are you married?"
We'll say "No man
But you can do the job when you're in town"

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland
Say it with us
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland
Everybody
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

Last Christmas

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 (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

La
La-da-da-da-da, la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

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

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

La
La-da-da-da-da, la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Last Christmas, ohh

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 of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart (oh, yeah, yeah)
Mmh
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

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

O Holy Night

Ooh

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

Fall on your knees (fall on your knees)
And hear (and hear) the angel's voices (fall)
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night (O night), O night divine

O fall, fall on your knees (fall on your knees)
O hear (hear) the angel's voices
O night divine (O night)
O night (O night, O night) when Christ was born
O night divine
O, O night (O night), O night divine (ooh)

This Christmas

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah

Shake a hand, shake a hand, yeah

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do
This Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright (blazing bright)
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me (for me)

Shake a hand, shake a hand, yeah

We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me

Shake a hand now
Oh, merry Christmas, now
Ooh
Come on, everybody
Ooh, this Christmas
Everybody, everybody
And oh

Same Old Lang Syne

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

(Ooh) hmm, mm, mm

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue (blue) (still as blue)
But in those eyes, I wasn't sure if I
Saw doubt or gratitude, yeah

She said she saw me in the record store
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence (ooh)
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence (ooh)
We drank a toast to time (to time)
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm and all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night (silent night), holy night (holy night)
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Oh, silent night (silent night), holy night (holy night)
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

I'll Be Home For Christmas

(originally by Bing Crosby)

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
Oh, I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
Oh, you can plan on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Oh, Christmas eve will find me, yes it will
Where the love light gleams
Baby, I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

If only in my
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Christmas In New York

Lights are in the windows
Snow is on the ground
Seems like everywhere you
See an angel hangin' 'round

There's something in the air
You feel it everywhere
A New Year's knockin' the door

Every other corner
Santa's ring their bells
People take the time to
Stop and wish each other well

Now everywhere you look (everywhere you look)
It's like a picture book (like a picture book)
Who could even wish for something more
Then to spend a Christmas in New York?

Church bells in the night
Times Square lit up bright
Skaters in the Plaza after dark
And if it's meant to be
Well then maybe you and me
Could take a carriage ride through Central Park, hey

Down at Rockefeller, they're lighting up the tree (lighting up the tree)
Seems like every year it means a little more to me
And seeing the surprise in little childrens eyes
Thrilled by what the season has in store
Yes, this is Christmas in New York

Church night, ooh
Times Square lit up bright
Whatever's meant to be
Oh-ho, if it's meant to be
Well, then maybe you and me
Could take a carriage ride through Central Park, ooh

All the elves are busy
On Macy's eighth floor
It's good to know there is still a miracle on 34th
But what I love the most
Is holding you this close
This is what they made the Season for

Oh, spending Christmas in
Oh, another Christmas in
Oh, yes, another Christmas in New York

Together

Hey, is it hot where you are?
What's the temp on your heart?
I can't read it, you're far away tonight
It's been cold here lately
Missing you like crazy
And I'm counting the days 'til I'm in flight

Every time I close my eyes
I pray to God you're by my side
I just wanna see your face
Feel your warm embrace

I, I, I can't wait 'til we're together
It's always so much better

Can't wait to celebrate
Be together this holiday

Be together this holiday

I just want to spend it with you

Hey, got your present right here
Wrapped in holiday cheer
And this one ain't gon' fit underneath no tree, yeah
'Cause my love is too big
In a box it won't fit
But you'll have it long after I leave

Underneath the mistletoe (mistletoe)
Sitting by the fire's glow
What we do alone
Only Santa has to know

I, I, I can't wait 'til we're together
It's always so much better

Can't wait to celebrate (celebrate)
Be together this holiday
Can't wait to celebrate (celebrate)
I just want to spend it with you
Can't wait to celebrate
Be together this holiday
Can't wait to celebrate
I just want to spend it with you

Hey, together
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll be together
Wrapping gifts with lots of gold
Hey, together
Joy and laughter everywhere
We'll be together
There's nothing like the joy we'll share, yeah

Can't wait to celebrate
Be together this holiday
(Can't wait) can't wait to celebrate (no, I can't wait)
'Cause I just want to spend it with you
Can't wait to celebrate (can't wait, no) (can't wait, yeah)
Be together this holiday (can't wait, no) (yeah yeah)
Can't wait to celebrate (yeah yeah) (yeah yeah)
I just want to spend it with you

Oh oh, oh yeah
'Cause I just want to spend it with you

Oh yeah, oh yeah
You know, I just wanna, I wanna spend every night with you
