Over The Rainbow
     (“The Wizard of Oz” 1939)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

(If happy little bluebirds fly 
Beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?)

Where Do I Begin
    (“Love Story” 1970)

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There’d never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angel’s songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I’m never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand - it’s always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I’ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I’ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there

The Look of Love
      (“Casino Royale” 1967)

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can’t disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
Don’t you ever go
Don’t you ever go no
Don't ever go
Don't ever go

How Do I Live
     (“Con Air” 1997)

How do I get through a night without you
 If I had to live without you 
What kinda life would that be
 Oh I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold 
You are my world, my heart, my soul 

If you ever leave 
baby you would take away 
everything good in my life 
and tell me now 

How do I live without you? 
I want to know
 How do I breathe without you? 
If you ever go 
How do I ever, ever survive 
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live 

Without you 
There'd be no sun in my sky 
there would be no love in my life 
there'd be no world left for me 

And I, oh baby, I don't know what I would do
 I'd be lost if I lost you 

If you ever leave 
baby you would take away 
everything real in my life 
and tell me now

 How do I live without you 
I want to know 
How do I breathe without you 
If you ever go 
How do I ever, ever survive 
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live 
Oh how do I live 

If you ever leave 
baby you would take away everything
 I need you with me
 baby don't you know that you are 
everything good in my life 

And tell me now 
How do I live without you 
I want to know 
How do I breathe without you 
if you ever go 
how do I ever, ever survive 
how do I, how do I, oh how do I live 

Oh, how do I live without you by my side?
 Without you baby

Oh, how do I live? Oh, without you baby?

Somewhere
     (“West Side Story” 1961)

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere 

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
 Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving somewhere 

There's a place for each of us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and were halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there 
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving 
Somehow, Someday, Somewhere

 Hold my hand and were halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, Someday, Somewhere

Wind Beneath My Wings  
     (“Beaches” 1988)

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine.
You always walked a step behind.

 I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
Only a face without a name.
And I never once heard you complain. 
Oh yeah

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I'd like to be?
Yeah, yeah
Oh I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings. 

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth,
oh I would be nothing without you. 

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I'd like to be?
Yeah
Oh I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

For you are the wind beneath my wings. 
You make me fly. Fly so high.

When You Wish Upon A Star
     (“Pinocchio” 1940)

Dreams come true,
Dreams come true,
Dreams come true, they do when you

When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do

Fate is kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true

The Way We Were  
     (“The Way We Were” 1973)

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?

Mem’ries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?

Mem’ries, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

The way we were

My Heart Will Go On
      (“Titanic” 1997)

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we’ll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

My heart will go on and on

I Have Nothing  
       (“The Bodyguard” 1992)

Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

But don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you.

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember forever

But don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no
I have nothing, nothing, nothing

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no
Don't walk away from me
Don’t you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you.

Bonus Track: Exodus
      (“Exodus” 1960)

This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land where children can run free

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this golden land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this golden land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

Be strong to make this land our home
If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine

Be My Love

Be my love for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you fill my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with every sweet desire
 
Be my love and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand we'll find love's promise land
There'll be no one but you for me eternally
If you will be my love
 
There'll be no one but you for me eternally
If you will be my love

Check Yourself

You know, I’m sending you a warning
Because you’re getting out of hand now
You seem to be forgetting
That I’m your lover man, now
 
So, I don’t want to see you go wrong
Cause we’ve been together much too long
 
You better check yourself
Check yourself
Check yourself
 
You know I’m telling you one time
Ain’t gonna tell you no more
And don’t you do the same thing
That you did before
 
Because I don’t want to see you go wrong
Cause we’ve been together much too long
 
You better check yourself
Check yourself
Check yourself
 
You better stop (and stop) and look (and look)
And see what you’re doing

There’s only one thing (there’s only one thing)
One thing I want you to do

Ginny

 Ginny, Ginny, Ginny, Ginny
Ginny, Ginny, Ginny, Ginny
Ginny, Ginny, Ginny, Ginny
 
Oh, Ginny
Please forgive me, oh, Ginny
 
I apologize I'm sorry so sorry
I embarrassed you in front of all the guys
 
Oh, Ginny
I didn't mean it, oh, Ginny
Don't you know I was jealous, so jealous
Cross my heart it wasn't anything I planned
 
When I saw you smile and dance with Ted
Let him take you home is what I said
Tears filled your eyes as I saw you go
 
How I hated myself, Ginny
You'll never know, oh, Ginny
Please forgive me, oh, Ginny
 
Baby, say you will and kiss me, oh kiss me
And say you love me still
Oh, Ginny kiss me, kiss me
And say you love me still

Gone With The Wind

 Gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has blown away
Gone with the wind
Our romance has flown away
 
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips
 
I've had a lifetime of heaven
At my fingertips
But now all is gone
Gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart
 
Gone with the wind
Love's gladness that filled my heart
 
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly then became
An empty smoke dream that's gone
Gone with the wind
 
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly then became
An empty smoke dream that has gone
Gone with the wind
 
Gone with the wind

Have You Heard

 Have you heard who's kissing her now
Do you think she's blue
Did she say we're through
Has she found someone new
 
Have you seen the way she looks now
Does she act the same
When she hears my name
Does she say who's to blame
 
My arms are empty my nights are long and lonely
I miss her so
Each new tomorrow can only bring me sorrow
I love her so
 
Have you heard of their wedding day
Rumors come and go
Still I'd like to know
If it's true won't you tell me
 
Have you heard
 
Have you heard of their wedding day
Rumors come and go
Still I'd like to know
If it's true won't you tell me
 
Have you heard

I Believe I Can Fly

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Cause I believe in you

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

I can fly, I can fly, I can fly

I'm Yours

 I'm yours
Heart and soul I am yours
Can't you see it in my eyes
Can't you hear it in my sighs
I'm yours
 
I'm yours
Every kiss says I'm yours
Take my lips and take my arms
I'm a victim of your charms
I'm yours
 
My life and my love, dear
Are yours to command
I stand here before you
My heart in my hand
 
I'm yours
All the world knows I'm yours
And I only hope and pray
That someday I'll hear you say
I'm yours
 
I'm yours
All the world knows I'm yours
And I only hope and pray
That someday I'll hear you say
I'm yours

It Isn't Fair

 It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day
 
It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, dear
 
Why is it you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat
 
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today
 
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today

It's No Sin

 Take away the breath of flowers
It would surly be a sin
Take the rain from April showers
It's a sin
 
Take away the violins, dear
From a lovely symphony
And the music deep within
Would cease to be
 
Is it a sin to love you so
To hold you close and know you are leaving
 
Though you take away my heart dear
Still the beating there within
I'll keep loving you forever
For it's no sin
 
I'll keep loving you forever
For it's no sin
I'll keep loving you forever
It's no sin

I Understand

I understand
And darling you are not to blame
If when we kiss it's not the same
I understand
 
It's not your fault
Because your heart has changed its mind
You didn't mean to be unkind
I understand
 
Forgetting you will be far from easy
I've grown so used to your charms
I'll miss that old thrill and no one can fill
Your place here in my arms
 
But if you find
Our love was really meant to be
Then darling hurry back to me
And I'll understand
 
But if you find
Our love was really meant to be
Then darling hurry back to me
And I'll understand
 
I understand

Jackie Wilson Medley

(Yeah, yeah all right baby
I said a whoa.. yeah
It's alright It's alright)

The way you make me feel like I belong
The way you make me right when I am wrong
The way you sacrifice just for me
Just how lucky can a poor man be?

That is why baby...
(That's why I love you so)
Oh that is why ...yeah...
Don't you know, baby...
(That's why I love you so)

I said hey, hey, hey, I want the world to know.
The way you rub my back when I'm in pain.
The way you soothe me so I won't complain
The way you kiss me with those ruby red lips.
It thrills me so, I turn my back-over flip.

That is why baby...
(That's why I love you so)
Oh that is why ...yeah...
Don't you know, baby...
(That's why I love you so)

I said a hey, hey, hey, I want the world to know.
Well if Shakespeare thought that Juliet
Really loved Romeo from the day they met,
He would blow his top if he could see
Just how you've been lovin' me.

The way you rub my back when I'm in pain
The way you soothe me so I won't complain
The way you kiss me with those ruby red lips.
It thrills me so, I turn my back-over flip.

That is why baby...
(That's why I love you so)
Oh that is why ...yeah...
Don't you know, baby...
(That's why I love you so)

I said a hey, hey, hey I want the world to know...

Just a kiss, just a smile
Hold my hand, baby
Just once in a while.
That's all I need, that's all I need
And I'll be satisfied!

Think of me when you're away
Call me darling
Just once a day
That's all I need, that's all I need
And I'll be satisfied!

True love came to me when I met you
True love makes me know I won't forget you
When you're around me, you make me feel
Life is worth living, baby, love is so forgiving!

Just a kiss, just a smile
Hold my hand, baby
Just once in a while.
That's all I need, that's all I need
And I'll be oh baby, baby, baby ...
That's all I need, that's all I need
And I'll be satisfied!

Yeah....

Hey-ah-hey (say you will)

My heart is crying, crying lonely teardrops
My pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops
Come home, won't you come home
and say you will (say you will)
Say you will (say you will)

Just give me another chance for our romance
Come on and tell me that some day you'll return ..yeah...
'cause every day that you've been gone away
You'll know-a my heart does nothing but burn

Just A Gigolo

I’m just a gigolo and everywhere I go 
People know the part I’m playin
I pay for every dance, sellin each romance
Ooh, what they’re sayin
 There will come a day when youth will pass away
What’ll they say about me? 
When the end comes I know I was just a gigolo 
Life goes on without me

I’m  just a gigolo and everywhere I go 
People know the part I’m playin
I pay for every dance, sellin each romance
Ooh, what they’re sayin
 There will come a day when youth will pass away
What’ll they say about me? 
When the end comes I know I was just a gigolo 
Life goes on without me, ‘cause

I ain’t got nobody 
Nobody cares for me 
Nobody, nobody cares for me 
I’m so sad and lonely Sad and lonely, sad and lonely 
Won’t some sweet little mama 
Come and take a chance with me 
‘Cause I ain’t so bad 
You know I'll sing that sweet love song
All of the time 
Even on the beat, only on the beat 
Bozdee bozdee bop didy bop

I ain’t got nobody 
Nobody cares for me 
But we don't care 'cause we're gonna play the horns now 
Bop bop bah, bop bop ba da da da da 
Bop bop bah, bop bop ba da da da da 
Humma la beeba la seeba la booba la 
Humma la beeba la seeba la bop

I ain’t got nobody 
Nobody cares for me 
Nobody, nobody cares for me 
I’m so sad and lonely Sad and lonely, sad and lonely 
Won’t some sweet little mama 
Come and take a chance with me
‘Cause I ain’t so bad 
You know I'll sing that sweet love song 
All of the time 
Even on the beat, only on the beat 
Baby, sugar, honey, mama said 
I aint got nobody

Aint got nobody, nothing, zero, niente 
Nobody cares for me

Let Them Talk

Let them talk
Walk with your head held high
Let them talk
As long as you're by my side
 
Let them talk
Rumors will only die
Tell your heart
That true love won't tell a lie
 
Someone is trying to hurt you
By saying I've found someone new
But I will never desert you
My heart belongs to only you
 
So, let them talk
I've got nothing to hide
Let them talk
As long as you're by my side
 
Let them talk
Rumors will only die
Tell your heart
That true love won't tell a lie

Love Eyes

 (Love eyes) I'll always love you
(Love eyes) I'll always love you
 
Love eyes
You've got those dreamy kind of love eyes
Eyes that set my heart on fire
You're my one desire
 
Love eyes
You've got those thrilling willing love eyes
Eyes that hold me then they scold me
Must I go insane
 
When there is only heaven between us
I could be Mars, you could be Venus
High up above with nothing to do
But love
 
Love eyes
Don't drive me frantic with your love eyes
So please don't try to deny me
Love eyes, I'll always love you
 
(Love eyes) I'll always love you...

Pennies From Heaven

Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven.
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven.
You'll find your fortune falling
All over town.
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down.
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love
You must have showers.
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree.
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me.

Please Let Her Know

Let her know, let her know
Let her know, let her know
 
Please let her know if you see her
That things with me are still the same
I love her as before, want her more and more
Every time I hear her name
 
Please let her know how I miss her
My dreams are haunted by her face
My arms are bare and cold, she's not here to hold
No one can ever take her place
 
Ask her if she's happy
With her someone new
And, please remind my darling
Once we were happy too
 
Please let her know that I'm lonely
Oh, how I wish that she'd return
And though I let her go, I still want her so
So if you see her, please let her know
 
Let her know, let her know

The Sand And The Sea

If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea
There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me
There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea
And it cries come to me.. come to me
 
As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore
You are here in my arms for a moment or more
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea
And it cries come to me.. come to me
 
But as long as there's sand
As long as there's sea
As long as there's time
I will wait hopefully
 
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me
 
But as long as there's sand
As long as there's sea
As long as there's time
I will wait hopefully
 
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

The Sky’s The Limit

I will buy you anything
Your heart desires
And when you’re cold and shivering
I’ll light your fire
 
Walk with me down the Milky Way
We’ll dance on a star
The man in the moon will smile and say
How lucky we are
 
Oh, baby
The sky is the limit
Oh, baby
The sky is the limit
 
A palace of gold high up on a hill
I’ll build for you
Where you can stand at your windowsill
Admiring the view
 
I’ll tell the birds to write a song
And sing it for you
And I’ll tell the clouds to move along
Whenever you’re blue
 
Oh, baby
The sky is the limit
Oh, baby
The sky is the limit
 
I’ll tell the birds to write a song
And sing it for you
And I’ll tell the clouds to move along
Whenever you’re blue
 
Oh, baby
The sky is the limit
Oh, baby
The sky is the limit

The Things I Love

 (Things I love)
(The things I love)
 
The glow of sunset in the summer skies
The golden flicker of the fireflies
The gleam of love light in your lovely eyes
These are the things I love
 
A silver moonbeam peeping through the trees
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze
The look you give in answer to my pleas
These are the things I love
 
Oh, once I thought that life was just a winter thing
My heart was cold and then
You turned to me and like a breath of spring
You turned the silver snow to gold
 
A robin serenade when day is through
The babbling brook beside our rendezvous
Your sweet voice whispering darling, I love you
These are the things I love
 
Your sweet voice whispering darling, I love you
These are the things I love

These Foolish Things

Foolish things
Foolish things
Foolish things
 
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
 
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A playground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
 
You came, you saw, (you conquered me)
 
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
 
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

Time Machine Medley

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind ole tree
Throw, away your troubles, dream a dream with me

Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Awakes a brand new mornin' where we can roll along
Blue skies up above...everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy you can be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river with me ... yeahhhh

~

Dream when you're feeling blue
Dream that's the thing to do
Things never are as bad as they seem
So Dream Dream Dream

(Life could be a dream ...Life could be a dream....du du du du du doo sh-boom)
Oh...Life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Oh...Life could be a dream sweetheart
Hello, hello again
Sh-boom I'm hoping we'll meet again

Oh life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would come true
If you would let me spend my whole life loving you
Oh life could be a dream sweetheart ...ho! ho!

Now, every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
If you'd do what I want you to
Oh Baby, we'd be so fine

Oh life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Oh life could be a dream sweetheart ...ho! ho!

Why Don't You Believe Me

Please tell me why
Tell me why...
 
Why don't you believe me
It's you I adore
Forever and ever
Can I promise more
 
I've told you so often
The way that I care
Why don't you believe me
It just isn't fair
 
Here is a heart that is lonely
Here is a heart you can take
Here is a heart for you only
That you can keep or break
 
How else can I tell you
what more can I do
Why don't you believe me
I love only you
 
Why don't you believe me
I love only you
 
(Please tell me why)

You Belong To Me

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember
darling
all the while
You belong to me
 
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
 
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
and blue
 
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
  

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Let your heart be light,
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on our troubles
Will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow,
Hang a shining star
Upon the highest bough,
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now.

Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
 
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
 
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
 
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand.
We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land
 
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
 
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
 
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand.
We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land
 
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
 
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
With You, Ride with you
I wanna ride with you
Hey pretty baby
I wanna ride, I wanna ride with you

Silver Bells
   

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks .
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear

 

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

 

City street lights, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures

 

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

It’s Christmas Once Again
 

Merry voices raised in singing
Carols through the streets are ringing
All because it's Christmas once again

 

Lovers kiss in public shyly
Mistletoe was hung there slyly
All because it's Christmas once again

 

Little kiddies' noses flattened on the window pane
Peeking at the dollies and the shiny choo-choo trains
Santa's hitching up his reindeer, has his bag packed tight
Everything is ready for the sleigh ride through the night

 

Christmas trees with lights are twinkling
Glasses filled with snowflakes sprinkling
All because it's Christmas once again

 

So here's a wish we keep repeating
Please accept the season's greetings
All because it's Christmas once again

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
   

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a shiny nose.
 
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
 
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
 
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history.
 
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.

Rudy, Rudy
 
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
 
Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph
They shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history.

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring are you listening
in the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
 
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
 
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is 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 that fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland
 
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the other kids knock him down
 
When it snows ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in that winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bell swing
And jingle bell ring
Snowin' and blowin'
Up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
 
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in
Jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin'
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 glidin' in a
one horse sleigh
 
Giddy-up jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle
In a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock

 Frosty The Snowman

Oohhh, Oohh, Oh Frosty, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

 

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

 

Now 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

 

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

 

Ooooh, Oh Frosty, Yeah

 

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!'
Well 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

 

Oooh, Goodbye
Yeah, Alright, goodbye
Oh, Goodbye
Goodbye to Frosty
Oh, Oh, Oh Frosty, Frosty
Bye Bye, Bye Bye

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

 

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

Ebb Tide

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more


So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide


At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, your are real
Really mine in the rain
In the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web of your arms

Prisoner of Love

Alone from night to night you’ll find me

too weak to break the chains that bind me.
I need no shackles to remind me,

I’m just a prisoner of love.

For one command, I stand and wait now

from one who’s master of my fate now.
I can’t escape for it’s too late now,

I’m just a prisoner of love.

What’s
