Ready-Made Christmas
03:57
|
|||
|
It always snowed on Christmas Eve
At least, that’s how I remember
Everybody home, one big family
At least, that’s how I remember
Hanging lights on the scotch pine
Homemade paper decorations
Dad pouring out the hot mulled wine
At least, that’s how I remember
But it’s all changed now
Take a tree from a box
Put a plastic angel on top
You can plug it in
You can light it up
But there’s no feeling
The spirit is lost
This ready-made Christmas
Can’t seem to find the time these days
To celebrate in the old fashioned way
Brave the cold to find that perfect tree
There’s no heart in a store-bought memory
Take a tree from a box
Put a plastic angel on top
You can plug it in
You can light it up
But there’s no feeling
The spirit is lost
This ready-made Christmas
This ready-made Christmas
But then you take my hand
And your smile fills the room
Reminds me where I am
So take a tree from a box
Put a plastic angel on top
Plug it in, Light it up
And there’s that feeling I thought I had lost
This ready-made Christmas

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, how’ve you been?
It’s been a long, long time
I was little then, and I believed
The magic in your eyes
I’m older now, life’s been kind
Another year, almost done
I was hoping maybe you’d stop in
I won’t keep you for very long
There’s something that I’m wishing for
A joy I’ve missed
Like the innocence of my first kiss
Dear Santa, if only for a little while
Please bring me back the Wonder of a Child
Dear Santa, I’ve done my best
I always tried to right my wrongs
I want to laugh again, and play pretend
Sing a different song
There’s something that I’m wishing for
A joy I’ve missed
Like the innocence of my first kiss
Dear Santa, if only for a little while
Please bring me back the Wonder of a Child
I don’t have all the answers
I’m not sure if you’re for real
Am I fooling myself for asking you?
Am I silly for how I feel?
There’s something that I’m wishing for
A joy I’ve missed
Like the innocence of my first kiss
Dear Santa, if only for a little while
Please bring me back the Wonder of a Child
if only for a little while
Please bring me back the Wonder of a Child

The Holly & The Ivy
03:43
|

|
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown
O, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom,
As white as lily flow'r,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our dear Saviour
O, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a berry,
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To do poor sinners good
O, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a prickle,
As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
On Christmas Day in the morn
O, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.

Christmas In Paris
03:50
|

|
December 24 and I'm waiting
I've sent my third message to you
I can't believe that it's snowing
Is that why you can't make it through?
You said we'd tour the Eiffel Tower,
The Seine, the Arche, and the Louvre
Hold hands and go walking for hours
Like so many young lovers do
You said meet for Christmas in Paris
But I'm sitting alone in this sidewalk cafe
Streetlights are glowing like matches
I sure hope that you find your way
For Christmas in Paris
I've been seeing your face since the summer
Every night you dance through my dreams
You stole my heart on the Cote d'Azure
My very first time overseas
You said meet me for Christmas in Paris
But Im sitting alone in this sidewalk cafe
Streetlights are glowing like matches
But I sure hope that you find your way
For Christmas in Paris
Christmas in Paris
Like a scene from a movie
I turn around
See the prettiest woman I've every found
Smiling and laughing and running to me
'Cross the cobblestones streets of this old romantic city
Now we're together for Christmas in Paris
As we kiss in this side walk cafe
Street lights are glowing like matches
I'm so glad that you found your way
For Christmas in Paris
Christmas in Paris

A Children's Winter
03:11
|
|||
|
The winter's snow is a child's delight
As it brightens up the winter's night
And coats the earth in a cheery white
As it softly drifts upon it
Smiling faces watch the ground
As the snow is falling all around
And through the glass there comes no sound
As the snowflakes melt upon it
Snowman, snow house, hey play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow softly falling
The morning comes and the children play
Their laughter rings out through the day
They hope the snow is here to stay
That it won't be gone tomorrow
Sliding, running down the hill
The time for thought is now, but still
As they climb up on life's long hill
They're sure to meet some sorrow
Snowman, snow house, hey play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow softly falling

House By The Sea
03:35
|
|||
|
Three little girls in a house by the sea
Hungry and cold with despair
Christmas Eve coming, no tree by the fire
No sweet smell of spice on the air
In a house by the sea, three little girls prayed
While their brother heard all through the door
He longed for a way to make wishes come true
Oh, but what could he do being poor?
Away at dawn, from the house by the sea
To find labour and pay for his time
The tide rose and fell, his hands blistered and bruised
But failure, he could not abide
With pennies in his pocket, he ran to the store
Three dolls he hoped there to find
But his pennies could only have angels of wood
So angels of wood he did buy
Christmas Eve came to the house by the sea
Three angels were placed by the fire
But the little girls prayed for dolls with fine dresses
And all three at once, they did cry
Again to your beds, said Mama to all
And maybe St. Nick will come back
To their beds they did go to dream once again
Of dolls dressed in ribbons and caps
Their brother so quietly stole to the shed
And did saw all the wings from the dolls
And mama had sewn new dresses and hats
With pieces she cut from old clothes
And when they awoke, three dollies they saw
In a line, but the fire, one two three
And Christmas was saved because of the love
In a little old house by the sea

Perfect Gift
03:48
|
|||
|
Special days come more than once a year
Every time I find myself standing here
Searching for the thing that you like best
Wishing for the one better than the rest
What'll I get that says I love you
Sometimes I wind up so confused
I'll never find a diamond that you can't outshine
There's no perfect pearl, I"ve searched far and wide
All I've got is my love for you
I'm hoping it's the perfect gift
You open all my presents with a smile and a kiss
Return those clothes that never fit
Bouquets of roses, yellow white and red
Chocolates from Belgium, breakfast in bed
What'll I get that says I love you
Sometimes I just don't know what to
I'll never find a diamond that you can't outshine,
There's no perfect pearl, I've searched far and wide
All I've got is my love to give
I'm hoping it;s the perfect gift
And if I could, you know I would
Pull the brightest stars out of the sky for you
But I'll never find a diamond that you can't outshine
There's no perfect pearl, I've searched far and wide
All I've got is my love to give
I'm hoping it's the perfect gift
All I've got is my love to give
I'm hoping it's the perfect gift
