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
Yes, may all your Christmases be white

AWAY IN A MANGER (ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY)

Away in a manger, no crib for His bed

The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, her little child

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, come down from the sky

And stay by my bedside 'til morning is nigh

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, her little child

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, her little, little child

The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, little child

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, her little child

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, her little child

Mary was that mother, mine

Jesus Christ, her little child

FOR LOVE ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Wrote myself a letter,

I told myself a lie

That you'll be coming home soon

and then you're in my sight

I read it every morning

since you went away

I'm living in a dream world

and dying a little more each day

Wrote myself a love song,

believing every word

Saying that you love me

in melodies unheard

That you'll be coming back soon

and forever you will stay

I'm living in a dream world

and dying a little more each day

Snow is on the sidewalk,

it's cold inside my heart

I look up and I wonder,

have I lost my guiding star

And everything is white outside,

how can it be so dark?

Say a prayer and thank God

that your love is mine alone

There’ll never be another

who could grace our happy home

Pray on Christmas morning

that this time you will stay

But I'm living in a dream world

and dying a little more each day

Yes, I'm dying

For love on Christmas day

EVERY DAY WILL BE LIKE A HOLIDAY

Every day will be like a holiday

When my baby

When my baby comes home

She's been gone

Such a long time

Ever since she's been gone

She's been on my mind

I got a letter Just about noon

She said don't you worry darling

I'll be home soon

Every day will be like a holiday

When my baby

When my baby comes home

I never have to worry

I am Sitting by the phone

When she gets here

I'll never be alone

She said she'll get here sometime today

I know when she gets here

She'll never go away

Every day will be like a holiday

When my baby

When my baby comes home

Every day will be like a holiday

When my baby

When my baby comes home

Every day will be like a holiday

When my baby

When my baby comes home

Every day will be like a holiday

Every day will be like a holiday

Every day will be like a holiday

Every day will be like a holiday

Every day will be like a holiday

Every day will be like a holiday


CHRISTMAS TEARS

I hear sleigh bells ring

But I haven't heard a word from you in years

I hear sleigh bells ringin'

But I haven't heard a word from you in years

I hear choirs singin'

And I'm just sittin' here cryin' Christmas tears

Everybody's singin' Merry Christmas

As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer

Everybody's singin' Merry Christmas

As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer

I'm smilin' on the outside

But on the inside, I'm cryin' Christmas tears

Well you been gone (you been gone)

For a long long time (you been gone)

But it's Christmas and I can't keep you off of my mind

Yes, you been gone (you been gone)

For a hundred years or more (you been gone)

But if you came back and hang

I could hang Merry Christmas on my door

I need you baby

To hold me tight

I need ya darling

On this Christmas night

And as I sit and I think of those long lonely years

I can't help but cry Christmas tears

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

I'll be home for the holidays

Thinking I'd stay away, oh no

I can't wait to see his smiling face

Baby I'm on the way, hold on

We’ve been together for a while now, oh Lord

And there is nothing more important

Than being with you now

I'll be home for the holidays

Thinking I'd stay away, oh no

I can't wait to see his smiling face

Baby I'm on the way, hold on

We've made the most of not much at all

Survived on our faith and our love, oh Lord

Look at our families, so beautiful, oh Lord

And I just can't wait to get home

I’m in love with you

I'll be home for the holidays

Thinking I'd stay away, oh no

I can't wait to see his smiling face

Baby I'm on the way, hold on

I'll never leave you for long

You are the beat of my heart

Baby hold on, we have memories of our love, love

I'll be home for the holidays

Thinking I'd stay away, oh no

I can't wait to see his smiling face

Baby I'm on the way, hold on

I'll be home for the holidays

Thinking I'd stay away, oh no

I can't wait to see his smiling face

Baby I'm on the way, hold on

JINGLE BELLS

(Instrumental)

CHRISTMAS IN MY HOMETOWN

I'd love to spend this Christmas with the folks in my hometown

Just to have the gang around, friendly folks in my hometown

I long to see the candles in the windows glow so bright

And the Christmas trees glitter in the breeze

Seem to say welcome home tonight

Christmas carols softly singing by the fireside all aglow

Children's laughter gaily ringing as they battle in the snow

My heart is winging homeward as the snow comes fallin' down

I love to spend this Christmas with the folks in my hometown

Christmas carols softly singing by the fireside all aglow

Children's laughter gaily ringing as they battle in the snow

My heart is winging homeward as the snow comes fallin' down

I love to spend this Christmas with the folks in my hometown

Friendly folks in my hometown

(One more, one more, one more)


IT'S CHRISTMAS

Sleigh bells out in the atmosphere

Keepin' the spirit alive

Sugar bells out on the shopping street

Makin' sure the kids are alright

Could it be a major movie's comin' in

From the heavens above

Big plate, mama was cookin' bread

Feeling of love

Oh, how I wish I had my way

I'd stay forever and a day

You’re just like Christmas

Baby, love is in the air

Everybody's headin' home

Just like Christmas

Hear the bells just jingling

Everybody's singin' along

Everything kids ever want is here

From the toys and the shoes

Santa Claus getting closer and closer

I heard some talk on the news

Baby, it's time to take your load off

Come in, take your coat off and chill

Settle down, your family and friends in here

Can't explain how it feels

Lord, if I can have my way

I'd stay forever and a day

Feel just like Christmas

Baby, love is in the air

Everybody's headin' home

Just like Christmas

Hear the bells just jingling

Everybody's singin' along

Feel just like Christmas

Baby, love is in the air

Everybody's headin' home

Just like Christmas

Hear the bells just jingling

Everybody's singin' along

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

And the spirit wants to take me high

Oh Lord, and if I had my way

Give up all I own to stay and have my family home

Nothing really matters, as long as I can feel this way

Baby, love is in the air

Everybody's headin' home

Feel just like Christmas

Hear the bells just jingling

Everybody's singin' along

Just like Christmas

Baby, love is in the air

Everybody's headin' home

Feel just like Christmas

Hear the bells just jingling

Everybody's singin' along

Just like Christmas

Feel like Christmas

Just like Christmas

Feel like Christmas

Just like Christmas


SENTIMENTAL MOMENTS

Sentimental moments

Moments that you shared with me

They will last forever, and ever, and ever in my memory

Sentimental moments

How I treasure every one

And I will live them over, and over, and over when my day is done

Those happy endless walks

The quiet talks, the music

Those crazy things that lovers do when love is new

Sentimental moments

Share them once again with me

They will bring us closer, and closer, and closer

Like we used to be

Those happy endless walks

The quiet talks, the music

Those crazy things that lovers do when love is new

Sentimental moments

Share them once again with me

And they will bring us closer, and closer, and closer

Like we used to be


LONESOME CHRISTMAS

I'd love to spend this Christmas sitting by the fire with you

Well, I'd love to spend this Christmas sitting by the fire with you

I'm happy for the moment, sharin' the whole day with you

Jingle bells are ringing, children playing out in the snow

Jingle bells are ringing, children playing out in the snow

There’ll be turkey on the table, presents everywhere you go

Everyone seems so happy, seasons greetings in the air

Everyone seems so happy, seasons greetings in the air

Santa Claus is spreadin' presents, spreadin' presents everywhere

I won't be home to help you decorate your Christmas tree

Well, I know I won't be with you decorate your Christmas tree

Well, I'll be thinking about you baby, and I hope you thinkin' 'bout me


SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, 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, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts singing Alleluja

Christ the Savior is born

Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace


MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY

Merry Christmas baby

You sure do treat me nice

Merry Christmas baby

Now I'm living in paradise

I'm feelin' mighty fine

I've got music on my radio

Feelin' mighty fine

Underneath the mistletoe

Santa came down the chimney

At half past three

Left all his presents

Yeah for you and me

Merry Christmas baby

You sure been good to me

You know I love you baby

And I'm happy as a man can be


HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

From now on your troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

From now on all our troubles will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days

Merry golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Will be near to us, once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the fate's allow

Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

KING BEE SHAKEDOWN

Is the jingle in your pocket worth the jangle in your head

Do you want your own money or your daddy's instead

Candy coated funky, man, she dance so good

Got 'em all talking round the neighborhood

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Everybody digs when the boogie comes back around

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

And the juke joint’s buzzin' all night long

When the room starts shakin’ try not to fall

Just like my old friend cannonball

Buzzin' around like a queen of the hive

Hands in my pocket and talking jive

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Everybody digs when the boogie comes back around

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

And the juke joint’s  buzzin' all night long

Come down to the station and hitch a ride

There's a hideaway waiting on the other side

Big legged woman gonna dust my broom

Big legged woman like to boom, boom, boom

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Everybody digs when the boogie comes back around

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Everybody digs when the boogie comes back around

Hallelujah! Good to see ya

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

Ain't no sting like a king bee shakedown

And the juke joint’s buzzin' all night long

MOLLY O'

That ship of fools set sail, wasn't long till they ran aground

You can hear their cries for mercy, you can hear that wailing sound

She was the last one to die of the two thousand souls

And the sea took her gently, death and darkness take hold

Molly O!

Like a ghost from the past

To her we raise a glass

Molly O!

On the highest of tides

May she rise to the sky

She was born in the east of Glanmire just another sleepy Irish town

With a suitcase full of redemption and a ticket for a ship that went down

No distress signal was sent, Molly O was twenty-two

With the surging walls of water turned it into a graveyard in blue

Molly O!

Like a ghost from the past

To her we raise a glass

Molly O!

On the highest of tides

May she rise into the sky

That ship of fools has sailed, won't take long till it runs aground

You can hear those mothers weeping from Halifax to London town

She danced a sacred waltz, and watched that black water rise

The ocean don't give up the dead, I bet ol’ Molly’s still inside

Molly O!

Like a ghost from the past

To her we raise a glass

Molly O!

Turning lies into truth

And a farewell to you

Molly O!

You can't have it all

You gotta rise up to fall

Molly O!

On the highest of tides

May she rise to the sky

DEEP IN THE BLUES AGAIN

Well I just got a call from my baby

Wondering just where I am

And I miss her touch something crazy

But I'm deep in the blues again

Stuck out on some lonesome highway

Tonight I could sure use a friend

Nothing but darkness is coming my way

And I'm deep in the blues again

Yes I'm deep in the blues again

And I'm driving, always driving

Trying to find my way back home to you

And I'm running, yes I'm running

Gonna find my way back home to you

When I go, there's no one can find me

I can't let nobody in

When I hear that thunder and lightning

I go deep in the blues again

And I'm deep in the blues again

And I'm driving, always driving

Trying to find my way back home to you

And I'm running, yes I'm running

Gonna find my way back home to you

I'm so deep in this hole

So dark I can’t crawl my way back

It’s so deep in my soul

Like a freight train that rolls off the track

And I'm down, down, down

Deep in the blues again

When you hear that preacher start praying

And you know that you're close to the end

All those colors they start fadin’

And you're deep in the blues again

And you're deep in the blues again

And I'm driving, always driving

All night long just so I can see you

And I'm running, I keep running

Trying to find my way back home to you

And I'm driving, always driving

All night long just so I can see you

And I'm running, I keep running

Trying to find my way back home to you

And I'm down, down, down

Deep in the blues again

SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS

You got a lot of nerve blaming someone else for your mistakes

When you got a lot of nerve offerin’ up your help when you can't carry your weight

Yeah, it's a put on another late night show

Yeah, it's a put on pretending you don't know

The self-inflicted wounds

You did 'em on your own

Yeah, you were first to draw the knife

Last to throw the stone

On the trust in me, I have abused

Oh, take mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

You never get away with trying to tell yourself one of your own lies

You never get away holding back those tears try not to cry

Darling, hold on

Let me try to explain

Darling, hold on

Tryin' to own all this pain

The self-inflicted wounds

I did 'em on my own

I was first to draw the knife

Last to throw the stone

Oh, your trust in me, I have abused

Oh, take mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

Yeah, I'm looking for redemption

On love's hallowed ground

Yeah, I'm praying for forgiveness

And I've searched around

But there's none to be found

Self-inflicted wounds

I did 'em on my own

You were first to draw the knife

Last to throw the stone

Oh, the trust in me, I have abused

Oh, take mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

Oh, have mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

PICK UP THE PIECES

What did I say, what did I do?

Look in the mirror, I'm black and blue

It’s Johnnie Walker Black and some Dunhill Reds

Starting to think it was something I said

It's getting kinda late and we both know

Time to pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces and go

It's not so hard living life on the skids

I'm alright, it's kinda hard on my kids

Easy for you to pass judgement on my life

But you don't, you don't have my four ex wives

I may not win, place or show

But I pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces and go

Oh, listen here

I worked part-time but I got fired

'Cause it's a full-time job just being me

Can't blame the boss if you don't show up

Can't blame your car if you ride the bus

Burning bridges, you reap what you sow

I gotsta pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces and go

I hear you’re a producer?

Produce me some wine!

They pulled my over on my ten speed bike

Who knew you could still get a DUI

Like what they've done with the LA County jail

My lawyer says I’m too broke to post bail

Maybe I can work and sweep the floors

Until then, pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces and go

Oh man

They’re tryin’ to tell me I was drunk and disorderly

Pick up the pieces and go

I was just drunk

Well maybe a little disorderly

Pick up the pieces and go

THE GHOST OF MACON JONES

Well the river keeps a’ rollin', time marches on

Sun hides in the shadows, do you know where you belong

Walk in the silence readin' names on the stones

You can roll with the tide, but you can't hide

From the ghost of Macon Jones

Well they always came to church, sat up in the back

Drank the holy water, dapper dressed in black

Away from the rich folk is where they laid down his bones

Now they whisper at the sermons

They can hear the ghost of Macon Jones

From the time he was a child, t’was easy to make friends

Some swore they’d found follow him, right up to the end

When he jumped off that bridge they just watched and went back home

They all cried to their mamas that they saw

The ghost of Macon Jones

And the nights grow long

And you fight to stay strong

And the ill-fated wind turns cold

And you need to unlearn, what you've been told

No-one knows what happened, 'cause the truth will often lie

Widows swear he loved them, he was born to make them cry

Sometimes a man believes he's destined to go this life alone

If you’re headed down that cold river you'll feel

The ghost of Macon Jones

Some say that he died, with a smile on his face

Others say he cried and never found his place

If you listen to your fears you might hear his restless moan

When they start digging up your dirt

You'll meet the ghost of Macon Jones

If you see your reflection on the water

That's the ghost of Macon Jones

Well the river keeps a’ rollin', time marches on

Sun hides in the shadows, do you know where you belong

Walk in the silence readin' names on the stones

You can roll with the tide, but you can't hide

From the ghost of Macon Jones

Well they always came to church, sat up in the back

Drank the holy water, dapper dressed in black

Away from the rich folk is where they laid down his bones

Now they whisper at the sermons

They can hear the ghost of Macon Jones

From the time he was a child, t’was easy to make friends

Some swore they’d found follow him, right up to the end

When he jumped off that bridge they just watched and went back home

They all cried to their mamas that they saw

The ghost of Macon Jones

And the nights grow long

And you fight to stay strong

And the ill-fated wind turns cold

And you need to unlearn, what you've been told

No-one knows what happened, 'cause the truth will often lie

Widows swear he loved them, he was born to make them cry

Sometimes a man believes he's destined to go this life alone

If you’re headed down that cold river you'll feel

The ghost of Macon Jones

Some say that he died, with a smile on his face

Others say he cried and never found his place

If you listen to your fears you might hear his restless moan

When they start digging up your dirt

You'll meet the ghost of Macon Jones

If you see your reflection on the water

That's the ghost of Macon Jones

JUST 'COS YOU CAN DON'T MEAN YOU SHOULD

Well my job is now obsolete

Twenty-five years and I'm on the street

They push a button, say I’ll be fine

One last job on the factory line

Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should

I took the very best and it was good

I'd give it all back if I could

Just 'cos you can

Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should

Oh she was a face, a face in the crowd

Neon lights, the music was loud

One mistake, my whole life changed

How could I cause so much pain

Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should

I took the very best and it was good

I'd give it all back if I could

Just 'cos you can

Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should

Everybody's got a tale to tell

Oh so easy to see through

Turns around and disregards

Every word of the truth, every word of the truth

You dropped a penny, said it was a dime

That's when one became ten lies

Oh it's so easy to kid yourself

Into pretending you're someone else

Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should

I took the very best and it was good

I'd give it all back if I could

Just 'cos you can, oh-oh

Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should

I've taken the very best and it was good

I'd give it all back if I could

Just 'cos you can, just 'cos you can

Just 'cos you can, baby

Just 'cos you can don't mean you should

REDEMPTION

She took the fire as she was leaving

No forgiveness and no confession

Now I'm sifting through the cold grey ashes

Looking for peace and my redemption

She was my secret and I was a sinner

Had to whisper out confessions

Went to the well and looked in the mirror

Raised a glass to my redemption

How long ‘til I drink from the fountain

Redemption

How high to the top of mountain

How long, how long, am I gone

Beyond redemption

Bullets flying out of nowhere

Reaching out with no exceptions

Now the preacher cries on the TV

Wants my money

And my redemption

How long ‘til I drink from the fountain

Redemption

How high to the top of the mountain

How long, how long, am I gone

Beyond redemption

Save me

Won't somebody save me

I'm down in the valley

Tryin' to rise up

Won't somebody

Somebody

Save me

No reservations in an empty promise

A hollow wall with no protection

I have to kneel at the altar

It's the last chance

For my redemption

How long ‘til I drink from the fountain

Redemption

How high to the top of the mountain

How long, how long (I hear you calling me now)

am I gone (I hear you calling)

Oh do you hear me calling

(Redemption)

Oh can you hear me calling

(Redemption)

One last chance for my redemption

How long, how long, am I gone

Beyond redemption

Can you hear me calling? (Oh)

I'VE GOT SOME MIND OVER WHAT MATTERS

I can see the future but that was yesterday

I sold my deck of tarot cards and now I can't see my fate

I got some mind over what matters

And now I'm deep down in the hole

She took the caddie, so I gotta hitch a ride

Left me in the dark with daggers in my side

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

I ran a race, some say I lost

I pulled up lame just before I crossed

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

Hm hm hmm, hm hm hmm, hm hm hmm, hm hm hmm

You might think I'm a bad man because I make her cry

But you ain't lived with her and seen the other side

I'm tryn’ to get to the bottom of why I make her hurt

I may be digging a hole but I've dug it just for her

I held my Jesus in my heart

I went to church and boy I did my part

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

I took her out, gave her good champagne

She drank it down and left me in a pile of pain

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

I bought her dresses, a new pair of shoes

She gave me grief and a whole lot of blues

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

I took her to Paris, a nice Texas town

She didn't like it so we turned right back around

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

I got some mind over what matters

But I'm still deep down in the hole

Hm hm hmm, hm hm hmm, hm hm hmm, hm hm hmm

STRONGER NOW IN BROKEN PLACES

You left me, you tore me up

Didn't know a man could hurt that much

For a while I was all broke up

But I found I could take it

And I'm stronger now

In broken places

I found out how time can heal

Takes me to a place way more real

And the pain that I had to feel

Didn't know I could take it

And I'm stronger now

In broken places

I guess you can't understand

All you put me through

Took all the strength I had

For me to forgive you

I look back now

How much you laid me low

The lessons of love that I was shown

Whenever hurt comes my way I know

I found a way to free it

Cos I'm stronger now

In broken places

Yes I'm stronger now

In broken places

LOVE IS A GAMBLE

You say that love is just a gamble, baby

And every loser loves a thrill

Yeah, say that love is a gamble, baby

And every loser loves a thrill

Oh, if the hand that your holding don’t bring you, baby

Yeah, there’s a chance that the next one will

Oh, I’m betting on one woman, baby

Laid my heart on the line

I’m netting on one woman, baby

And I know that she is the cheating kind

Say that love is just a gamble, baby

And every loser loves a thrill

Well if the hand that your holding don’t bring you luck, baby

Well there’s a chance that the next one will

It’s the kind of game, baby

That’s never played by the rules

Yeah, it’s this kind of game baby

That’s never played by the rules

Anyone thinks that he’s winning, baby

Oh, someday you’re gonna play the fool

You play the hand you’re giving, baby
