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

You sure do treat me nice

Bought me a high five of Christmas

Now I'm living in paradise

I'm feelin' mighty fine

I've got music on my radio

Feelin' mighty fine

Got good music on my radio

I wanna hug and kiss you

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
