"This Christmas"

"This Christmas"


Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
And we're carolin' through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for you and me

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas

Fireside blazing bright
And we're carolin' through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me

Shake a hand, shake a hand now

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you this Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do this Christmas

Fireside blazing bright
And we're carolin' through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me

Shake a hand, shake a hand now
It's alright, oh baby, we're gonna do it
This Christmas
Hey, baby, baby, we're gonna do it, oh yeah
This Christmas

Fireside blazing bright
And we're carolin' through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
Shake a hand, shake a hand

Baby, fireside blazing bright
Girl, everything is gonna be
Gonna be bright and nice

"Time After Time"

"Time After Time"


What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Lucky to be loving you

"To Be Continued"


Here we are, ready to witness magic
We can feel it’s about to happen
But, something beyond our control
It got in the way (I know we’ll have to try another day)
Cause nothing and no one is going to stand in our way
I believe its destiny (girl)
Lifes’ episodes, takes us down different roads
So let us take command (together we’ll make it)

Cause you and I, we really must be in love
There’s no denying girl it’s real

To be continued, just turn the page (oh oh oh) yeah yeah

We meet again, under different circumstances
So much better are our chances
Believe in a dream cause it will come try
And it’s evident with you (cause here we are together again)
OH I waited and waited, for this day to arrive
You’re right here by my side girl
Good things are well worth the wait
So I learn to appreciate (I’m so thank-ful for, that)

Cause you and I, we really must be in love

I wanna get to know ya, well
Don't be ashamed, don't say that love's to blame

You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more, woo-hoo-

Pickin' up (Yeah) her hanky (Yeah) off the floor
Treat her like a lady (Treat her like lady)
Light her cigarette if she smokes
Even (Help her with her coat), well

In this world of liberation
It's so easy to forget, mmm-
That it's so nice to have a man around
To lend a helping hand, you can bet, bet you can, baby

When I was young, my mama used to say, Boy
A woman's like a flower, with love on her you shower
Ever since that day, her words never went away
I always will remember to treat my baby tender

You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more, whoa-ooh-ooh-

"Try To Remember"

"Try To Remember"


Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow-follow, oh-oh

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow

Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow-follow, oh-oh

[brief instrumental interlude]

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow

Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow-follow, oh-oh Follow, oh-oh

"Two Sides To Love"

"Two Sides To Love"


The first love of your life wasn't true to you and it broke your little heart.
He loved you, then he left you, confused, misused and in the dark.
Won't you let me walk into your world of darkness and confusion?
Let me show you there's another side to love that's more than a sweet illusion.
If you just believe, just believe in love again.
You'll find there's two sides to love and what you experienced wasn't the real thing.
Cause true love is an emotion that can soothe your very soul.
It brings joy to a heart of sadness and warmth to a life grown cold.
Don't give it up. Don't hang your head down. Life can be beautiful.
Just open your heart, stretch out your arms. Let love work a miracle.
Though your dreams are shattered and torn, girl all your dreams can be reborn.
Cause it's never to late for your dream to come true.
Just believe, just believe in a heart that's true.
You'll find there's two sides to love and all my love it's so true it won't make you blue.
Cause true love won't bring troubles, it would bathe your troubles away.
It will ne're leave every dark cloud in the light and make room for a brighter day.
Two sides to love .
Let me show you the other side.
What you saw was the bad side.
Let me show you the real side.
Let me show you the true side

"Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite The World)"

"Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite The World)"


Sick minds, sad sights,
Never ending sleepless nights have been accepted as an everyday thing.
Wire tapping, kidnapping...

Will the Russians push the button?

I tell you, people, our thoughts and values have got to change.
They say love is the strongest force on this earth.
Uh, but to me, peace among people surpasses love and worth.
People (jobs don't come no bigger than the one we've got to do.)
If we don't give peace a chance, what do you think is gonna happen to me and you?

Think about it.

That's why I am reaching out my hand to be your friend.
This unrest between races has got to come to an end.
Don't let the color of my skin confuse you.
I swear on a stack of bibles I won't misuse you.
So put your (hand in mine.)
Huh, we're gonna form a human chain, mightier than a hurricane.

(And walk this land, hand in hand, day and night, black and white.)
We gotta unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Come on and sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it.

We got to unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Log on to kill this message.
Come on and sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it with me.

We got to unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
God almighty,. Sing it, sing it, sing it.
Aww, unite the world.

Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Awww.

Oh, ding-dong-ding let the freedom bell ring.
The good Lord made you and me, what he wanted us to be.
Free all those people you got chained up in your (mind.)
Hmmm-mm-hmmm, now there's truth in what I'm saying.
We gotta stop the games we're playing.
Two wrongs ain't never made a right (Right)

Hung up, tripped out, whatever you may be,
Now is the time to set yourself free.
Put your (hand in mine.) Huh, come on.
Oh, and let's walk.

Oh, we gonna...(walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Sing it with me now...(walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Raise your voices and sing along with me.

Come on, we gonna unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
We gonna...(walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)

We gonna unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it.
Aw, come on, come on, come on, come on.

(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)

"War"

"War"


Oh no-there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
'Cause it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh
It's an enemy of all mankind
No point of war
'Cause you're a man
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
Give it to me one time-now
Give it to me one time-now
War has shattered
Many young men's dreams
We've got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
War
War-good God, now
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?
