"Caravan"

"Caravan"



Night and stars above that shine so bright
The myst'ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The mem'ry of our caravan

This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

"Carol Of The Bells"

"Carol Of The Bells"



Hark!
How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh!, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale

Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Hark!
How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale

Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Dumm

"Caroling, Caroling / Happy Holiday"

"Caroling, Caroling / Happy Holiday"



Caroling, caroling now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing

Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sound of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling through the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas bells are ringing

Harmony the song we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling near and far
Christmas bells are ringing
Following, following yonder star
Christmas bells are ringing

Sing we now this happy morn
For the King of heaven is born
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Happy Holiday
Happy holiday, happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your ev'ry wish come true

Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you

Come To Holiday Inn
If you're burdened down with trouble
If your nerves are wearing thin
Park your load down the road
And come to Holiday Inn

If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
And come to Holiday Inn

If you can't find someone who
Would set your heart a-whirl
Take your car and motor to
The home of boy meets girl

If you're laid-up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamin
Don't get worse, grab your nurse
And come to Holiday Inn

"Chances Are"

"Chances Are"



Chances are, 'cause I wear that silly grin
the moment you come into view;
chances are you think that I'm in love with you.

Just because my composure sort-of slips
the moment that your lips meet mine,
chances are you think my heart's your Valentine.

In the magic of moonlight,
when I sigh "hold me close, dear"
chances are you believe
the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes.

Guess you feel you'll always be
the one and only one for me
and if you think you could,
well, chances are your chances are awfully good!

The chances are your chances are awfully good!

"Christmas Day"

"Christmas Day"



Snow covered rooftops
Lights on the trees
The sound of singing
I hear down
Every street

Families
Have gathered
From miles away
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day

You see that old tree
Down Cotton Lane
Those lights
Keep shining
It's always the same

We hear
The church bells
Ring out to say
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day

Swing the lights
And hang
The stockings
Decorate
With green and red
Made the cookies
For old Santa
Made a runway
For his sled

Singing carols
On a sleigh ride
Gather 'round
The manger scene
Open presents
Read the letter
And together
We will sing

Oh
Merry Christmas
Joy to the world
For every nation
For every boy
And girl

Let's light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh
Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day

Let's light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh
Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
Oh
Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day

"Christmas Is A Feeling In Your Heart"

"Christmas Is A Feeling In Your Heart"



There are toys for girls and boys
Silver bells make merry noise
Yet you should remember from the start
Christmas is a feeling in your heart.

Holly wreaths and mistletoe
Carols by the candle's glow,
These are not the most important part
Christmas is a feeling in your heart.

Faith and hope, goodwill to man,
Love and peace, and faith again.
Let the prayers that Christmas bring
Brush your heart like angel wings

Christmas Day will soon be gone
Yet the joy will linger on
If you only learn to do your part
Let Christmas be a feeling in your heart

"Clopin Clopant"

"Clopin Clopant"



In France when one is walking sadly
They say he walks Clopin Clopant
His step is slow, his fault is badly
Perhaps the one he loves is gone
Clopin Clopant I hear his footsteps
As in the night he passes by
And as I hear his endless footsteps
I get to thinking they'll go out
I'll go along Clopin Clopant
Whispering he's gone, he is gone, he is gone
My childish heart cries like a baby
Without my love what will each day be?
So I go on Clopin Clopant
Trudging alone Clopin Clopant
Love is a dance and one must learn it
I had my chance, why did I spurn it?
What can I do? Why carry on?
Going alone Clopin Clopant, Clopin Clopant, Clopin Clopant...

"Come Back To Me"

"Come Back To Me"



Come to me now that I have found you
Come to me, wrap my love around you
Look in my eyes, hear what they say
Don't run away
Stay, stay, stay

I'm on fire, let your lips caress me
My desire is that you possess me
Don't be afraid for love to come to you
My lover, come to me
Lover, come to me
Come to me

Don't be afraid for love to come to you
My lover, come to me
Lover, come to me
Come to me

"Come Ride The Wind With Me"

"Come Ride The Wind With Me"



Come ride with me
Time to saddle up n' ride away
Is so much to see
Don't worry I know the trails I know the way

I caught a gentle horse
His eyes are big and brown
He's ready to carry you the whole world round
Come ride with me, let's ride away

Come take a chance
I'll show you where the mountains touch the sky
It's a horse back dance
And we can ride forever if we try

That dream in the distance
There for you to chase
Out in the sunrise with the wind on your face
Come ride with me, let's ride away

The smell of the leather, the sunlight on your skin
They've got us achin' to begin
The rumble of hoof beats much stronger than wine
The dust in your hair, the light in your eyes

Come ride with me
We'll run the hills and watch the eagles soar
It's where you want to be
So tell me just what you're waitin' for

We'll camp near the meadow and we'll love the night away
And saddle up again when the dawn is turnin' gray
Come ride with me, let's ride away

The smell of the leather, The sunlight on your skin
They've got us achin' to begin
The rumble of hoof beats much stronger than wine
The dust in your hair, the light in your eyes

Come ride with me
We'll run the hills and watch the eagles soar
It's where you need to be
So tell me just what you're waitin' for

We'll camp near the meadow, we'll love the night away
And saddle up again, when the dawn is turnin' gray
Come ride with me, let's ride away

Come ride with me
Come ride with me today

Come ride with me
Come ride with me
Come ride with me
Oh come ride with me...

"Come Saturday Morning (From "The Sterile Cuckoo")"

"Come Saturday Morning (From "The Sterile Cuckoo")"



Come Saturday morning
I'm going away with my friend
We'll Saturday-spend more than half of the day
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone

Come Saturday morning
I'm goin' away with my friend
We'll Saturday-laugh more than half of the day
Just I and my friend
Dressed up in our rings and our Saturday things
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone

We will remember long after Saturday is gone
