"The Christmas Song"

"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 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 ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you

"The Letter"

"The Letter"


Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Oh ,the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby she wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I got to spend
I won't find my way home again
Oh the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby, she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live with out me no more
Listen to me mister I gotta get back to
My baby once more
Anyway

Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh, the lonely days are gone
I'll be back home
My baby she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live with out me no more
Listen to me mister I gotta get back to
My baby once more
Anyway

Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh ,the lonely days are gone
I'll be back home
My baby she wrote me a letter

My baby wrote me a letter [repeats]

"The Old Rugged Cross"

"The Old Rugged Cross"



On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

"There's No Way"

"There's No Way"



There's no way
There's just no way
I could leave your love behind

If I could live my life all over, I'd do everything the same
The film in my camera would reveal everything the same
Like kissin' you every mornin', lovin' you day by day
Dreaming dreams of you and every old way will

When the sun peeps through my window
I'll have you on my mind
There's no way, there's no way
To leave your love behind

When you hair turns to silver and I'm old and gray
I'll keep on lovin' you, yeah, the same old way
When you come to the end of your journey
If I'm lucky enough to be around

I'll hold your picture to my chest
But tears will be still falling down, yeah
I'll keep you in my memory for the rest of my days
There's no way, there's no way to leave your love behind
Oh, behind, yeah

If I could walk through the garden again, you'd be the flower I pick
The episode of our love would give my heart a kick, yeah
If I could take the song from the top, one more time
I would sing the same old lines, yeah

I'll tell you there's just no way, no, no
There's no way to leave your love behind, behind
Oh, no, I can't leave it behind, oh

I can leave behind
Behind
Can't leave love, no
Behind
There's just no way

Behind
There's no way, no
Behind
It's still no

"Tired Of Being Alone"

"Tired Of Being Alone"



I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Just as soon as you can?

People say that I've found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn't go for that
It's a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Show me where it's at, baby

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
All through the years
I'll tell ya like it is
Honey, love me if you will

Yeah baby
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Sometime I wonder

If you love me like you say you do
You see baby, I-I-I been thinkin' about it, yeah

Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm

To be my greatest dream, yeah

Tired, baby

Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby
Oh baby, baby
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone

"To Sir With Love"

"To Sir With Love"



The time has come for closing books
And long last looks must end, yeah
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend

A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong that's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I would rather you let me give my heart
To sir with love

Those schooldays are
Of telling tales, biting nails are gone, oh
But in my mind
I know that they live on and on, on and on and on

But how do you thank someone
Who had been so good to you?
Well, it's not easy, oh but I'll try

If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To sir with love

The time has come for closing books
And long last looks must end, oh, oh
And as I leave, yeah
I know that I am leaving my best friend, oh, oh

A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong that's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I would rather you let me give my heart
Oh sir, with love, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Together Again"

"Together Again"



Together again
My tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end

The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
We're together again

Together again
The gray skies are gone
Your back in my arms
Now where you belong

The love that I knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters
We're together again

And nothing else matters
We're together again

"Tomorrow's Dream"

"Tomorrow's Dream"



I look back now, girl, on tomorrow's dreams
Distant things are happening, not as bad as they seem
Don't put off tomorrow for what today might bring
I'd be satisfied now to gain one single thing

Don't look away now, girl, things are looking bright
Don't put off tomorrow, girl, for what's in store tonight, baby
I want my baby, tonight baby, I can't wait no longer
Here now baby

I give my heart and feeling of distress
Trying to ignore her pain, all the happiness
Anything you want girl, I will give complete
I'd do anything, baby, to overcome defeat

And don't say tomorrow come, it don't belong to anyone
Don't put off tomorrow, girl, for what's in store tonight, baby
C'mon now baby, hey, tonight baby, oh baby, hey, c'mon

I look back now, girl, on tomorrow's dreams
Distant things are happening, not as bad as they seem
Don't put off tomorrow for what today might bring
I'll be satisfied to gain one single thing

Don't look away now, girl, things are looking bright
Don't put off tomorrow, girl, for what's in store tonight, baby
C'mon now baby, hey, tonight baby, baby
I can't wait no longer, comin' over baby
