Silver Bells ~ Harry Connick Jr.

City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling like Christmas

Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Suzy Snowflake - Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett

Here comes Suzy Snowflake,
Dressed in a snow-white gown,
Tap, tap, tappin' at your windowpane
To tell you she's in town.

Here comes Suzy Snowflake;
Soon you will hear her say,
"Come out ev'ryone and play with me;
I haven't long to stay.

If you want to make a snowman,
I'll help you make one, two, three.
If you wanna take a sleigh ride,
The ride's on me."

Here comes Suzy Snowflake;
Look at her tumblin' down,
Bringing joy to ev'ry girl and boy;
Suzy's come to town.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay
But, baby, it's cold outside
I got to go 'way
But baby, it's cold outside
This evening's has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hand, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move in closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
<together>
Ahh, but it's cold outside


I simply must go
But, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But, baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Ooh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me a comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pnuemonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old out
<together>
Ahh but it's cold outside

 

[celiaKitten]

And this song makes me cry this year. I miss my house.

I'll Be Home For Christmas | Elvis

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a Hippopotamus will do
Don’t wanna a doll
No dinky-tinker toy
I want a hippopotamus
To play with and enjoy
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use
A dirty chimney flue
Just bring him thru the front door
That’s the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, a joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a Hippo-Hero standing there
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a Hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like Hippopotamuses
And Hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says a Hippo will eat me up, but then
Teacher says a Hippo is a vegetarian
There’s lots of room for him
In our two car garage
I’d feed him there, and wash him there, and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, a joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a Hippo-Hero standing there
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a Hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroseses
I only like Hippopotamuseses
And Hippopotamuses like me too

Merry Christmas with Love ~ Sandi Patti

She leaned her head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago
When the children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in
their eyes
Reflecting the love all around.

but this year there's no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made its way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing

Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love

The carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Were driven away by the sound
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found herself singing along

Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love

Toni Braxton ~ Snowflakes of Love

On this day, snowy day
Let me thank you for the joy you're giving me...
I'm so happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me
Winter bliss when we kiss
Every wish my lips could see
I'm so happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

Snowy day
Would you please take me away
Away with you...
Hold me so closely
Like the moonlight lights the sky...

In my dreams of soft winter breeze
Eases my mind, but when I wake
There's nothing but leaves
Still, I'm happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

Oh, how I imagine the day we meet
And those tingles from those little butterflies...
Reminiscing, I get so happy
I just break down and cry

Candlelight burning bright
Underneath a cool, starry night
You and me, endlessly, it's the greatest gift
That love could give to me

On this day, snowy day
Let me thank you for the joy you've given to me...
I'm so happy...
To have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? | Harry Connick Jr.

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Aah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Aah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

 

[Fishaholic]

This one always gets me

THE MARVELOUS TOY

When I was just a wee little lad,
Full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night
And gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was
With many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it,
It became my heart's delight.

Refrain:
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

The first time that I picked it up
I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other,
Then I twisted its lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:

(Refrain)

It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone
It wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed
'Cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy
Would be chugging from behind.

(Refrain)

The years have gone by too quickly it seems,
I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him
My marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is
But he loves it just like me!

It still goes... (refrain)

Peter, Paul and Mary

One of my top 5 favorites

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree ~ Brenda Lee

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

Rocking 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"
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

It Must Have Been The Mistletoe


It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow, the magic in the frosty air, that feeling ev'rywhere.
It must have been the pretty lights that glistened in the silent night, or maybe just the stars so bright that shined above you.

Our first Christmas, more than we'd been dreaming of.
Old Saint Nich'las had his fingers crossed,
that we would fall in love.

It could have been the holiday, the midnight ride upon a sleigh, the country side all dressed in white, that crazy snowball fight.
It could have been the steeple bell that wrapped us up within its spell.
It only took one kiss to know, it must have been the mistletoe.

Our first Christmas . . . more than we'd been dreaming of.

Old Saint Nich'las . . . must have known that kiss
would lead to all of this.

It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow, the magic in the frosty air, that made me love you.
On Christmas Eve a wish come true, that night I fell in love with you.
It only took one kiss to know, it must have been
The mistletoe!

It must have been . . . . . the mistletoe!

It must have been . . . .


The Mistletoe!

On Christmas Day ~ Dido

A young gentleman came riding past
On a snow blue winter's day
He asked to drink, by our fire,
And I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while,
Then he turned and said to me
Your eyes are green, like summer grass,
Your lips are red like a fresh cut rose,
Your hair is soft like an irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty
And the last words I heard him say
Were "I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas day"
The night will come but I won't sleep,
As I watch the stars that lead him,
I cannot place where his is,
But still my heart goes with him,
I'm savin all my sunday clothes
For the day the day that I'll be leavin
Father knows, my sister knows,
And my friends, they're happy for me
And the priest he says, you should thank god,
For the blessing of such beauty,
And the last words I heard him say
Were "I shall return for you, my love, on Christmas day"
I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day.
And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say
I shall return for you, my love, on Christmas day
I swear, I will return on christmas day,
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas day,
My love I will return on Christmas day,
I shall return, my love on Christmas day
On Christmas day...

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen ~ Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray;
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heavenly Father, this blessed angel came.
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name;
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Star of wonder
Star of night
Star of royal beauty bright
Westward leading
Still proceeding
Guide us thy perfect light

Oh,The King on Bethelehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him
King forever
Ceasing never
Over us all to lay

Star of wonder
Star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading
Still proceeding
Guide us thy perfect light

Glorious now behold him arise
King in God in sacrifice
Halleluhia,halleluhia, Worship God most High

Star of wonder
Star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading
Still proceeding
Guide us thy perfect light

A Christmas to Remember ~ Amy Grant

Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes, it's almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreen
As special as it's always been
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

Chorus:
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
We'll wake up to a world of white
It's gonna be a christmas to remember
Light up the fire, play some nat king cole
Always sentimental and don't you know that
It's gonna be a christmas to remember
I know it's true
Time doesn't stand still
Many things can change
But we know some things never will
The memories we share
The songs we always sing
The mystery of life
The hopefulness this season brings
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

(Chorus)

Only Always ~ Kathy Troccoli

The tree is lit, the fire burns
The snow is falling but you're keeping my heart warm
The music plays, the candles glow
And as you look at me I've got to let you know

It's Christmas time my darling
And all I can say
Is I'll love you
For only always

Another year I've had with you
We've grown together beyond all that we've been through
This season holds a place in me
Where there is always room to make new memories

It's Christmas time my darling
And all I can say
Is I'll love you
For only always

So kiss me now and hold me tight
Beneath the mistletoe
My dance with you is wonderful
I love you more than you'll ever know

It's Christmas time my darling
And all I can say
Is I'll love you
For only always

 

[juicylips]

Starbright ~ Jim Brickman & Kenny Loggins

Starlight, starbright
Wishing on the first star of the night
I wish I may
I wish I might
Make all your dreams
Come true tonight

As your drift
Off to sleep
Angels guard the memories you keep
Now close your eyes
And dream away
And you'll awaken on Christmas day

(instrumental)

Starlight, starbright
Shining on my little one tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Make all your dreams
Come true for you tonight.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you “Be of good cheer!”
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It’s the happiest season of all
With those holiday meetings
And gay, happy greetings
When friends come to call
It’s the happiest season of all

There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
