What A Wonderful Word

ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Johnny Marks

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHRISTMAS

LeAnn Rimes, Peter Amato, Jud Friedman, Allan Rich

The lights around the Christmas tree don't burn as bright
And all around the world it isn't a silent night
Outside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling
But somehow there's a sadness in the song
In our hearts we know that something's wrong

It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas

Children opening gifts with wonder and surpise
I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes
I used to feel so safe inside I had a place to run and hide
In my daddy's arms I felt secure
No one can protect us anymore

It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas

Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer
Oh that's what we need if we'd only believe
It would be!

It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas

WHITE CHRISTMAS

Irving Berlin

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverley Hills, LA
But it's December the twen-ty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

Troy W. Powers, Andy Stone

Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on a string
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing

I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
I don't want a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings and bows
'Cuz all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
What I want can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cuz all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
What I want can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cuz all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you
Yeah all I want for Christmas is you

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

SANTA BABY

Joan Javits, Philip Springer, Tony Springer

Santa baby
Slip a sable under the tree
For me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby
A '54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa Baby
I want a yacht and really thats not
Alot
I've been an angel all year
Santa Baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey
One little thing I really do need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa Baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie
So fill my stocking with a duplex
And checks
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa cutie
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Lets see if you believe in me

Santa baby
Forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry tonight

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

Bob Thiele, George David Weiss

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world, ooh yeah-yeah

I see skies of blue
Clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"

I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world, ooh yeah, yeah

I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

Mel Torme, Robert Wells

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglo
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They 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

JUST LOVE ME

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Peter Amato, Gregg Pagani

Come on baby, light the fire
I got something you should see
Well you know it don't cost me nothing
But I wrapped it for you specially
So forget the little angel on the tree
And just love me

If I told you don't buy me presents
Well you know that would be a lie
Baby you don't have to have all the money in the world
Just give me some quality time
Yeah Christmas ain't about expensive things
So just love me

It's Christmas Eve and snow is falling
I've been waiting for time alone
I'll be standing underneath the missletoe now that everybody's finally gone
So come over here and kiss me tenderly and just love me
Let me be your little angel on the tree and just love me
Yeah come over here and kiss me tenderly and just love me
Just love me!

I MISS YOU LIKE CHRISTMAS

LeAnn Rimes, Ty Lacy, Dennis Matkosky

How long has it been
Can't remember when
yeah, it's been a while
Years look good on you
But I expect them to
I sure miss that smile

Look you've got me grinning
Bet I'm blushing too
Don't have to be a genius
To see the honest truth

I miss you like Christmas, baby
That's just how it's been
Guess I kinda miss us
Like we were back when
Sure I've gone on since you, baby
Lost my heart a time or two
I miss you like Christmas, baby
That's it I just do

The leaves begin to change
The first frost is back again
Overcoats and Pumpkin pies
Jingle Bells and Silent Night
And the old familiar face I can't deny

I miss you like Christmas, baby
That's just how it's been
Guess I kinda miss us
Like we were back when
Sure I've gone on since you, baby
Lost my heart a time or two
I miss you like Christmas, baby
That's it I just do
Ooh, I miss you like Christmas, baby
That's it ooh I just do

OH HOLY NIGHT

Placide Clappeau, John S. Dwight, Adolphe C. Adam

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear Savior'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-oh-oh)
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night
When Christ was born (oh night divine)
Oh night divine
Oh night, night divine

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees (your knees fall)
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night
When Christ was born (oh night divine)
Oh night divine
Oh night
Oh night divine
