"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"

"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"



Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire
Jack Frost Nipping At Your Nose
Yuletide Carols Being Sung By A Choir
And Folks Dresse Up Like Eskimos

Everyboy Knows A Turkey An Some Missletoe
Help To Make The season Bright
Tiny Tots With Their Eyes All Aglow
Will Find It Hard To Sleep Tonight

The Know That Santa's On His Way
He's Loaded Lots Of Toys And Goodies On His Sleigh
And Every Mother's Child Is Gonna Spy
To See If Reindeer Really Know How To Fly

And So I'm Offering This Simple Phrase
To Kids From One To Ninety-Two
Although It's Been Said Many Times Many Ways
Merry Christmas...... To you

"The Nightingale"

"The Nightingale"



Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
And my love was waiting there for me

I had lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather overhead
But the nightingale sang a note so true
That I knew I'd lost my fear instead

And to think that I said love was for fools
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight he played a faithful tune

I have heard the lark over in the vale
And I've heard the lonesome whippoorwill
But the sweetest song is the nightingale's
And I know I'll never get my fill

"The Restless Kind"

"The Restless Kind"



I was born the restless kind
Settlin' down never crossed my mind
Wild and woolly well I guess that's me
People sure get nervous when a woman's free
I can hold my tongueI can hold my wine
I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
Well I've seen the country and I've been to town
Rode in limousines with the tops rolled down
Walked down the road where the rivers freeze
Whatever it takes
I do what I please
I can hold my horses
I can hold the line
I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
I was born the restless kind
And I never assume what I'm gonna find
I can stand my ground I can slip through a crack
Just as sure as I leave honey I'll be back
I can hold my temper
I can bide my time
I can hold my own
I'm the restless kind

"The Song Remembers When"

"The Song Remembers When"



I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't recall just why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when

"The Sweetest Gift"

"The Sweetest Gift"



One day a mother went to prison
To see an eering but precious son
She told the warden
How much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done

She did not bring to him
A parole or pardon free
She brought no silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(Longed to see)
It was a halo bright
Sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift
A mother's smile

She left a smile
You can remember
She's gone to heaven
From heartaches free
Those walls around you
Could never change her
You were her baby
And ere will be

She did not bring to him
A parole or pardon free
She brought no silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(Longed to see)
It was a halo bright
Sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift
A mother's smile

"The Whisper Of Your Heart"

"The Whisper Of Your Heart"



Daddy told me when I was young
He said it's a long road you've begun
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard
But as you walk the road remember who you are

You've gotta roll with the punches
You've gotta aim to hit the mark
You've gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you're deciding in the dark
You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

He said make it a practice to be true
'Cause when push comes down to shove it's up to you
To keep believing in your dreams
And to sing your song if you've got a song to sing

You've gotta roll with the punches
You've gotta aim to hit the mark
You've gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you're deciding in the dark
You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

The years have come, the years have gone
Yes and I have learned some lessons on my own
The winds of fortune are sure to change
But the wisdom in these words will stay the same

You've gotta roll with the punches
You've gotta aim to hit the mark
You've gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you're deciding in the dark
You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

"The Woman Before Me"

"The Woman Before Me"



I can see you turn away
When I ask what for
You say it isn't anything
But I'm not sure

Somethin' underneath the skin
Won't let you be
And you try to keep it in
But I can see

The woman before me
Must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes
I never put you through
Sometimes I think
You must be talking to
The woman before me and you

Sometimes in an argument
It will show
When you go a little farther than
You meant to go

I know you don't mean the things
That you say
I just wanna ease the pain
That's in your way

The woman before me
Must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes
I never put you through
Sometimes I think
You must be talking to
The woman before me and you

If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Don't let them keep us apart
You ought to know you've got nothing to fear
Here in my heart

'Cause you and I will never be
Like the past
Whatever kind of memories
That you have

Nothin's gonna hurt you now
Can't you see
I already made a vow
That I can keep

But the woman before me
Must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes
I never put you through
Sometimes I think
You must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes I think
You must be talking to
The woman before me and you

"There Goes My Baby"

"There Goes My Baby"



He was the kind of guy who loved so unselfishly
And everyone could see what a prize he was
Everyone but me
I must be blind
I must be the kind who don't know what they have
Till they're all alone and sad

There goes my baby
Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky
There goes my baby
And it's gonna be a cold, hard night
Now that I finally see
How I need him to be
Right here by my side
There goes my baby
Bye bye, baby, goodbye

How could I have a love so fine
And not know what it's worth
Maybe this empty heart he left behind
Is all that I deserve
What kind of fool
Finds a perfect jewel and can't see how it shines
Till she's all alone and cryin'

There goes my baby
Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky
There goes my baby
And it's gonna be a cold, hard night
Now that I finally see
How I need him to be
Right here by my side
There goes my baby
Bye bye, baby, goodbye

How I wish I could hold him in my arms and say
This time I'm gonna treat him right
But it's too late

There goes my baby
Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky
There goes my baby
And it's gonna be a cold, hard night
Now that I finally see
How I need him to be
Right here by my side
There goes my baby
Bye bye, baby, goodbye
Bye bye, baby, goodbye
Bye bye, baby, goodbye

"There's A New Kid In Town"

"There's A New Kid In Town"



We're Looking For The King
The New Messiah
We're Following The Star
Shinging Brighter
Old Man Won't You Help Us If You Can
He Shook His Head But Pointed With His Hand

There's A New Kid In Town
And He's Lying In A Manger Down The Road
There's A New Kid In Town
But He's Just Another Baby I Suppose
There's A New Kid In Town
Here In Bethlehem

I See You Travelled Far
Brearing Treasures
You Say These Gifts Are For
The New King's Pleasures
I Have Heard That A King Might Come
But Up 'Til Now There Hasn't Been One

There's A New Kid In Town
And He's Lying In A Manger Down The Road
There's A New Kid In Town
But He's Just Another Baby I Suppose
There's A New Kid In Town
Here In Bethlehem

"They Call It Falling For A Reason"

"They Call It Falling For A Reason"



He had me spinning like a girl in the circus in a trapeze act
Tell me what are you supposed to do
When you've been kissed like that
I don't think I've ever been so high
Is it any wonder I felt like I could fly

It's a tumblin' rush, it's a helpless kind of feeling
When your heart doesn't know which way is up or down
Till you hit the ground hard and fast, bruised and barely breathin'
I guess they call it falling for a reason

I was death defying, yeah, flying with the greatest of ease
There was nothing out there but the wind and the air and me
It's a long way down I don't know how I survived
It's a hell of a way to feel like you're alive

It's a tumblin' rush, it's a helpless kind of feeling
When your heart doesn't know which way is up or down
Till you hit the ground hard and fast, bruised and barely breathin'
I guess they call it falling for a reason

Falling

I don't think I've ever been so high
Is it any wonder I felt like I could fly

It's a tumblin' rush, it's a helpless kind of feeling
When your heart doesn't know which way is up or down
Till you hit the ground hard and fast, bruised and barely breathin'
I guess they call it falling for a reason
They call it falling for a reason

Falling
Falling
