"Sending You A Little Christmas"
(performed with Jim Brickman)

"Sending You A Little Christmas"
(performed with Jim Brickman)

A photograph, a blanket
Some mistletoe, confetti snow
An angel to put on a tree
Santa Claus in crayon
To make you smile today
While you're so far away

So I'm sending you a little Christmas
Wrapped up with love
A little peace, a little light
To remind you of
How I'm waiting for you, praying for you
I wanted you to see
So I'm sending you a little Christmas
Till you come home to me

Some gingerbread, a candy cane
A stocking I made with your name
I filled it with your favorite things
A way to say I love you
Like kisses through the air
Hoping you'll feel me there

So I'm sending you a little Christmas
Wrapped up with love

A little peace, a little light
To remind you of
How I'm waiting for you, praying for you
I wanted you to see
So I'm sending you a little Christmas
Till you come home to me

Home, into these arms of mine
Home where you belong

So I'm sending you a little Christmas
Wrapped up with love
A little peace, a little light
To remind you of
How I'm waiting for you, praying for you
I wanted you to see
So I'm sending you a little Christmas
Till you come home

Home, till you come home to me
Come home

"September Song"

"September Song"

Oh, it's a long, long while
From May to December
But the days grow short,
When you reach September.
When the autumn weather
Turn leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game.
Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.
Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.

"Serenata"

"Serenata"

Serenade nearly at midnight,
Guardians and thieves who come to blows
And the young people, alone
Are still romantic.
Serenade for the separated
And for the kids, alone and a little bit lost
Who fall asleep
Late with mom TV.
Serenade for government leaders,
If they sing, we will go further
For pensioners
A year and a penny more.
Serenade for black cats,
For old artists and the waiters,
For those who see love
Along the way.

Look out of the window, my beauty
I invent you a song and a poetry
And put your most beautiful clothes and let us go
A cat and an heart and you
What a company!

Serenade, perhaps a little bit cheesy
But it knows warm bread and it is rustic
As a sunday
When it was sunday
Serenade for journalists
With the ink still on the hands
Who have written at the night
And who already know about tomorrow

Look out of the window, my beauty
I invent you a song and a poetry
And put your most beautiful clothes and let us go
A cat and an heart and you
What a company!

Look out of the window, my beauty
There is a will of happiness in the air
Serenad, friend of the Moon
If you sing it, it will bring you good luck
Serenade, serenade

"Shangri-La"

"Shangri-La"

Your kisses take me to Shangri-La
Each kiss is magic
That makes my little world a Shangri-La

A land of bluebirds and fountains
And nothing to do
But cling to an angel that looks like you

And when you hold me, how warm you are
Be mine my, darling
And spend your life with me in Shangri-la

For anywhere you are is Shangri-la

How warm you are

You make my little world a Shangri-La
For anywhere you are is Shangri-La

"She Believes In Me"

"She Believes In Me"

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the night can be so long
And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says how was your night?
And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, find a way

While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end
While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two
And I'm torn between the things that I should do
And she says to wake her up when I am through,
God her love is true

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, while she waits, while she waits for me!

"Shenandoah"

"Shenandoah"

Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Away you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Away
I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
Away you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you
Away
I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah
It's far I wander
Away you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah
It's far I wander
Away
I'm bound away
'Cross the wild Missouri

"Should I Wait (Or Should I Run To Her)"

"Should I Wait (Or Should I Run To Her)"

Once in a while will you try to give
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?

Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

"Show And Tell"

"Show And Tell"

These are the eyes that never knew how to smile
Till you came into my life

And these are the arms that long to lock you inside
Every day and every night

Girl, and here is the soul of which you've taken control
Can't you see I'm trying to show love is right

Show and tell
Just a game I play, when I want to say
"I love you"
Girl, so show me, and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby

These are the hands that can't help reaching for you
If you're anywhere inside

And these are the lips that can't help calling your name
In the middle of the night

And here is the man that needs to know where you stand
Don't you know I've done all I can, so decide

Show and tell
It's just a game I play, when I want to say
"I love you"
Girl, so show me, and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do
Baby, baby, baby

Here is the soul of which you've taken control
Can't you see I'm trying to show love is right

Ooh, girl
Show and tell
Just a game I play, when I want to say
"Oh, I love you"
Girl, so show me, and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby

Show and tell
Just a game I play, when I want to say
"Oh, I love you"
Girl, so show me, and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby, baby, baby

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"

Johnny Mathis - Silent Night
Johnny Mathis
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 [x2]

Silent night! Holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born [x2]

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 [x3]

"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"

Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.
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 every 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.
