"Silent Night"

"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 sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour 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

"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"

City sidewalks, 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 every street corner you 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 streetlights, even stoplights, 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 hear

City sidewalks, 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 every street corner you hear

Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day

"Slippin' Away"

"Slippin' Away"

Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie
Saturday's party is Sunday's fight
Something's wrong with you
And our love's gone wrong that used to be right

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly slowly slipping away
It'll be gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slipping away

Wednesday's kisses are Thursday's frowns
We can't live two days in a row
When our world's knocked upside down
And we stand just watching it go

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly slowly slipping away
It'll be gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slipping away

Roses are red and violets are blue
Sugar is sweet some of the time
This puzzles missing a piece or two
We've got the grapes but never the wine

And I can feel it slipping away
Slowly slowly slipping away
It'll be gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slipping away

"Snap Your Fingers"

"Snap Your Fingers"

Snap your fingers
I'll come running back to you, hmm
On bended knees
I said snap your fingers, I'll come running
I'll be true, take a chance on me
The lights turn green
Baby I gotta know, should I stay or go
Let me love you like a lover
Oh you use to know
Turn the key and let me in
Hmm through that same old door

I had it but I lost it
Now I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is
I gotta find a way back in
Snap your fingers,
I'll come running,
I'll do anything to get you back again

I had it but I lost it
Now I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is
I gotta find a way back in
Snap your fingers,
I'll come running,
I'll do anything to get you back again

"So Close To Heaven"

"So Close To Heaven"

Lightnin' flashed, thunder roared
And all the future that I counted on
In a moment it had come and gone
By the time I could turn around
You were gone and I was all alone
Sort of like the comet beyond the star
You brought me so close to heaven
I was so high off of the ground
So close to heaven
And I think I may never come down

Nature laughed, I discovered you
Someone I could tell my troubles to
Guess I learned some thing I never knew
You brought me so close to heaven
I was so high off of the ground
So close, so close
And I think I may never come down
So close to heaven
So high off of the ground
So close to heaven...

"Softly And Tenderly"

"Softly And Tenderly"

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

O for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

"Softly, As I Leave You"

"Softly, As I Leave You"

Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can make me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
Softly as I leave you there

Oh one more day, after all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
Softly as I leave you there
As I leave you there, as I leave you there

"Some Of These Days"

"Some Of These Days"

Some of these days you're gonna miss me honey
Some of these days you're gonna be so lonely
You'll miss my hugging miss my kissing too
You'll be so sorry when I'm away from you
Now you're gonna be lonely just for me only
Cause you know honey that you had your way
And when you leave me you know it's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your little honey some of these days
(Now you'll be lonely) yes you'll be lonely (just for me only) just for me only
(Cause you know honey) yes you know honey (you had your way) yes you had your way
Cause when you leave me oh you know it's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your little honey some of these days
(You're gonna miss) you're gonna miss your little honey some of these days
(Some of these days)

"Someday You'll Want Me To Want You"

"Someday You'll Want Me To Want You"

I know that someday, you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love, with somebody else.
You expect me to be true, and keep on loving you
And though I'm feeling blue
You think I can't forget you

Until someday, you'll want me, ah, to want you
When I am strong on somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you

I said that someday, you'll want me, ah to want you
When I'll be strong, honey,
I'll be strong for somebody new
And, and then thought, you don't want me now
I'll try to get along somehow
Then I won't, baby I won't
I won't want you

"Something For A Rainy Day"

"Something For A Rainy Day"

I'm just a penny that fell from a hole in ya pocket
And clattered to the gutter at your feet
I'm like a puppet on a broken string who lies completely helpless in a heap
Just a hopeful heart standing in line hoping you might need me sometime
If ya ya do you might call my name

But from now on I guess I'll always be that somethin' you saved
For a rainy day that never came

Cause you've got sunshine and fields of clover
But I feel so useless now that it's over
You never said you'd leave me or that you didn't love me
And I guess you're gonna keep me on a string

But from now on I guess I'll always be that somethin' you saved
For a rainy day that never came
