"O Holy Night"

"O Holy Night"



O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine.

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all of them must praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we
His power and glory, ever more proclaim.

His power and glory, ever more proclaim...

Oh-oh..., oh-oh..., oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh..., oh-oh...

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"



Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

"Old Folks"

"Old Folks"



Everybody knows him as old folks
Like the seasons he comes and he goes
Just as free as a bird and as good as it were
That's why we all love them so.

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
Tucks his napkin up under his chin
And that old corn cob pipe
Well, It's so mellow it's right
But still you're not ashamed of him.

Every Friday he goes fishing
Sown by the lake
But he only caught a perch or two, a whale got away
Guess, I'd better warm a steak.

Someday there's gonna be no more old folks
What a lonesome old town this would be
Children's voices are played
We'll be still for a day
The day they take old folks away.

"Once Upon A Christmas"

"Once Upon A Christmas"



Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born His palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swaddling cloth a halo was His crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem

"One Life"

"One Life"



If there's a way of makin' time stand still for good
I haven't found it yet
If I could love you for eternity, I would
But I regret

I've only got one life; I've only got one life
An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live
I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart
And I wish I had a hundred more to give
Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do
But I've only got one life to love someone like you.

Can't take my eyes off you, I'm afraid of what I'll miss
It goes by so fast
So I'll treat each moment that I've been blessed, with you
Like it's the last.

I've only got one life; I've only got one life
An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live
I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart
And I wish I had a hundred more to give
Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do
But I've only got one life to love someone like you.

And I've only got one life and I give it all to you...

"One Man's Woman"

"One Man's Woman"



She's got dinner on the table at seven
The kids are tucked in bed by nine-fifteen
And she's headed for a hotel at eleven
To meet a man her family's never seen.

As the elevator takes her to her lover
She thinks about his wife at home asleep
And she knows it must be painful to discover
That the man you love's not always yours to keep.

Well, she's one man's bride
And she's one man's on the side
She wonders why it takes two men
To keep her satisfied.

She's a hard workin' house-wife
Right now she's occupied
She's one man's woman
And one man's on the side
Yes, she's one man's woman
And one man's on the side.

She thinks about her husband when it's over
But she justifies her love affair somehow
She knows it can't go on like this forever
But she takes it all from day to day for now.

"One More Day"

"One More Day"



Just one more day I ask
One chance to love you
I can see your face
Everywhere I go
It's in my soul.

No matter how it goes
God only knows
I get more than I deserve
Yes, it's such an easy word
Give me one more day.

And time
Is a river that rows us along
And love will deliver us
If we hold on.

So if you think
You might not trust your heart tonight
I'm never gonna drift away
I'll wait forever if you say
You'll give me one more day.

And time
Is a river that rows us along
And love will deliver us
If we hold on...

"One Night"

"One Night"



Call me a fool, send me away
I've got to say it's you I adore
I'm longing in love, falling apart
I follow my heart straight to your door.

Face to face with all honesty
I will be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night to lay in your arms
Give me just one night could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
In just one night, oh one night with you.

Standing this close the sound of your voice
Leads me no choice I offer my love
Am I so wrong to think you might fall
'Cause baby you're all I can think of.

Face to face with all honesty
I will be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night to lay in your arms
Give me just one night could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
In just one night, oh one night with you.

"One Place In The Night"

"One Place In The Night"



Girl, don't wait up tonight
Don't live on the lie
´cos you'll be sleeping alone again
I know my intentions were the best
I had it all worked out you see
But you deserve a whole lot better than me.

You need a man whose heart
Is only one place in the night
Who'll stay right here
And just be satisfied
You need a man
Who won't disappoint you every time
I call and say my plans have changed
So don't wait up tonight.

Stop me now
I've gone and talked too much again
You know I do that now and then
So pay no attention to me
If I say your name a thousand times
Again and again
Just don't listen to me.

You need a man...

"Only Once In A Lifetime"

"Only Once In A Lifetime"



You ask me if someday
You'll hear me say goodbye
I couldnt walk away
If I tried.

Oh I know
My feelings go
Unspoken sometimes

You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.

I hold you close to me
And our love comes alive
I never dreamed I could be
So satisfied

If fate is kind
Just once we find
Such heaven in this life

You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.

I might see lightening strike
Twice in the same place
But I know I'd never see
Love like you've given me.

You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.
