Burning Bridges

Written by Garth Brooks and Stephanie C. Brown
Performed by Garth Brooks

Yesterday she thanked me
For oiling that front door
This morning when she wakes
She won't be thankful anymore

She'll never know how much I cared
Just that I couldn't stay
Shell never know the reason why
I always run away

Burning bridges
One by one
What I'm doing
Can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday
I'm gonna stop this running round
But every time the chance comes up
Another bridge goes down

Last night we talked of old times
Families and home towns
She wondered if we both agree on
Where we'd settle down

And I told her that we'd cross that bridge
Whenever it'd arrive
Now through the flames I see her standing
On the other side

Burning bridges
One by one
What I'm doing
Can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday
I'm gonna stop this running round
But every time the chance comes up
Another bridge goes down

Like ashes on the water
I drift away in sorrow
Knowing that the day my lessons finally learned
I'll be standing at a river
Staring out across tomorrow
And the bridge I need to get there
Will be a bridge that I have burned

Burning bridges
One by one
What I'm doing
Can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday
I'm gonna stop this running round
But every time the chance comes up
Another bridge goes down

Another bridge goes down

I Knew You Were Waiting

Written by Dennis Morgan and Simon Climie
Performed by Aretha Franklin and George Michael

… Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally

… Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes, I did
Oh, I escaped (aha ha)
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith

… When the river was deep, I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
Uh huh

… With an endless desire, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like a bridge that's on fire, the hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

… No, I don't regret a single moment, no, I don't
(I know you don't) Looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh

… When the river was deep, I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, oh
I knew you were waiting, hey, I knew you were waiting for me

… So we were drawn together through destiny, ooh boy, ooh!
I know this love we share was meant to be, oh
(Knew you were waiting) Ooh, yeah
(Knew you were waiting) I knew you were waiting
(Knew you were waiting for me)

… I didn't falter, no
(I still believed) When the valley was low
(It didn't stop me) Nothing can stop me, no
(Knew you were waiting) No, I
(Knew you were waiting for me)
(I didn't falter) When the mountain was high
(I still believed) Oh, when the valley was low
(It didn't stop me) No, it didn't stop me, no
(Knew you were waiting) stop me
(Knew you were waiting for me)
(I didn't falter) Oh, oh yeah
(I still believed) Oh, I still believed
(It didn't stop me) Do you know it couldn't stop me now? No
(Knew you were waiting)
Someday (someway), some place (somehow)
For me
(I didn't falter) When the valley was low
(I still believed) I still believe (I believed, I believed)
(It didn't stop me) Yeah, it couldn't stop me

Drive South

Written by John Hiatt
Performed by Suzy Boggus


I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore 
That's how you learn you just get burned 
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore 
Though love's not learned baby it's our turn 
We were always looking for true love 
With our heads in the clouds 
Just a little off course 
But I left that motor running 
Now if you're feeling down and out 

Come on baby drive south 
With the one you love 
Come on baby drive south 

I'm not talking about retreating no sir 
Gonna take our stand in this chevy van 
Windows open on the rest of the world 
Holding hands all the way to dixie land 
We've been trying to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids 
It's been wearing us down 
Don't turn away now darling 
Lets fire it up and wind it out 

Come on baby drive south 
With the one you love 
Come on baby drive south 

I heard your momma calling 
I think she was only stalling 
Don't know who she's talking to 
Baby me or you 
We can go south with a smile on 
Ain't going to pack my nylons
Just leave these legs showing 
It gets hot down where were going 

We were always looking for true love 
With our heads in the clouds 
Just a little off course 
But I left that motor running 
Now if you're feeling down and out 

Come on baby drive south 
With the one you love 
Come on baby drive south

The Bell That Couldn't Jingle

Written by Burt Bacharach and Larry Kusik
Performed by Herb Alpert


A Christmas bell was crying then Santa heard it say
I just can't seem to jingle and I can't go on the sleigh
Then Santa soon discovered the reason that it cried
The bell that couldn't jingle it had nothing there inside

Then Santa said Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you
And on Christmas Eve you'll jingle just like you were brand new
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop so each time that it swayed

The bell that couldn't jingle(jingle) it went jingling all the way
Jingle bell, jingle bell jingle all the way
The bell that couldn't jingle it went jingling all the way

Then Santa said Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you
And on Christmas Eve you'll jingle just like you were brand new
Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop so each time that it swayed

The bell that couldn't jingle(jingle) it went jingling all the way
Jingle bell, jingle bell jingle all the way
The bell that couldn't jingle it went jingling all the way

It went jingling all the way(it went jingling all the way)
It went jingling all the way(it went jingling all the way)
It went jingling all the way(it went jingling all the way)
It went jingling all the way(it went jingling all the way)
It went jingling all the way(it went jingling all the way)

Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord

Written by Fred Jay, Frank Farian and Jester Hairston
Performed by Boney M.

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
"Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace"

Oh my Lord
You sent Your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Oh my Lord
When in the crib they found Him
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned Him
Oh my Lord
They gathered all around Him
To see Him and adore (this day will live forever)

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
They had become to doubt You
Oh my Lord (He is the truth forever)
What did they know about You?
Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
But they were lost without You
They needed You so bad (His light is shining on us)

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
With the child's adoration
Oh my lord (He is a personation)
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
And full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord (oh praise the Lord)
You sent Your son to save us
Oh my Lord (this day will live forever)
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)

Christmas Valentine

Written by Jason Mraz, Dave Barnes and Ingrid Ellen Michaelson
Performed by Ingrid Michaelson and Jason Mraz

Right outside my window
All the snow is coming down
The Brooklyn Bridge is blanketed
It's quiet all around
The city lights are blinking bright
Just like a Christmas tree
That I remember
From old Decembers

I've got my favorite jacket on
There's snowflakes in the air
We made a reservation
But we'll never make it there
The fire's too inviting
There's nowhere I'd rather be
There's something about you
That I'm getting used to

Baby just be mine
A kinda sorta Christmas Valentine
You're making every day with you and I
Feel like a very merry February
Baby just be mine
Just say you'll be my Christmas Valentine
I wanna make every day a holiday with you

It doesn't matter rain or shine
In summer or in fall
If all the roses are in bloom
Or nothing is at all
'Cause love it has no calendar
It's always evergreen
Let's make another reason
To love the season

Baby just be mine
A kinda sorta Christmas Valentine
You're making every day with you and I
Feel like a very merry February
Baby just be mine
Just say you'll be my Christmas Valentine
I wanna make every day a holiday with you

Every day, every day, every day

Baby just be mine
A kinda sorta Christmas Valentine
You're making every day with you and I
Feel like a very merry February
Baby just be mine
Just say you'll be my Christmas Valentine
I wanna make every day a holiday
Every day a holiday
Every day a holiday with you

I Believe

Written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne
Performed by Frank Sinatra

I believe, I believe,
I believe in wishing wells,
But I also believe in a lot of things,
things the daisy tells,
I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings,
Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness,
I believe those things.

And when it's Christmas time I believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I believe that dreams come true,
If you wish for a dream by a wishing well,
Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound naive, but that's what I believe.

And when it's Christmas, I try to believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I do believe that dreams come true,
And if you wish for a dream by the wishing well,
Don't you tell the wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound naive, but that's what I happen to believe.

Southern Nights

Written by Allen Tousaint
Performed by Glenn Campbell


Southern nights
Have you ever felt a Southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistlin' tunes that you know and love so

Southern nights
Just as good even when you close your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed Southern skies? (In southern skies)
Its precious beauty lies
Just beyond the eye it goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old

Old man
He and his dog, that walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weepin' willows would cry for joy, joy

Feel so good
Feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting

Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the Southern skies

Southern nights
They feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could (Southern nights)
Stop this world from fighting

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed?

Do They Know It's Christmas

Written by Midge Ure and Bob Geldof
Performed by Band Aid


It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing

Is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise a glass for everyone

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive

Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun

You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
(Feed the world)
Feed the world
Feed the world

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Written by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin
Performed by Frank Sinatra

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles, will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

What Are You Doing New Years Eve?

Written by  Frank Loesser
Performed by The Orioles

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah, 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 the thousand invitations you received

Ah, 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?

Ah, 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?
Oh, what are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?

Last Christmas

Written by George Michael
Performed by Wham!


Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
If it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
"Merry Christmas"
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas

But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears

Ooooo
Oh oh baby

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Oh oh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

SPECIALLLLLL

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart ( Gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
Special
Someone someone
I'll give it to someone,I'll give it to someone special
Who'll give something in return
I'll give it to someone
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give me to someone,I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
Gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone,I'll give it to someone
Last christmas i gave you my heart
You gave it away
I'll give it to someone,I'll give it to someone

Emotion

Written by Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb
Performed by Samantha Sang

It's over and done
But the heartache lives on inside, oh
And who is the one you're clingin' to
Instead of me tonight?

And where are you now
Now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go

I cry me a river
That leads to your ocean
But you never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be
Nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss good night
Good night, good night, good night
Good night

I'm there at your side
I'm part of all the things you are, ah
But you got a part of someone else
You go to find your shining star

And where are you now
Now that I need you
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go

I cry me a river
That leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be
Nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss good night
Good night

And where are you now
Now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go

I cry me a river
That leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be
Nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss good night
Good night, good night, good night

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling

Magi (The Heart of Man's a Palace)

Written by Peter Yarrow and Joe Henry
Performed by Peter, Paul and Mary

Oh the magi were the prophets
And they wandered through the desert
They saw the star above them
And they knew they'd find their way
Through the valley of the shadow
With the hope of human kindness
They were strengthened by the vision
Of a new and brighter day.

And the wisemen spoke of peace on earth,
Of harmony and struggle
Know you now a cycle's gone and a new one is revealed.
In the weaving of your fingers
In the whisper of a love that's born again
In the weaving of your fingers
In a promise that we made that never ends.

Well now each man is a pilgrim,
Yes, we all must make the journey
And it seems that time is telling us to be all that we can
To help lift up the fallen, we must sow the seeds of goodness
The torch is passed among us now to light the way of man.

For the heart of man's a palace
And his dreams are as the sunlight
They burn away the darkness, as they warm the freezing cold
As an eagle flying higher, as a river through the canyon
The diamond star shines down upon, a pathway to the soul

And the wisemen spoke of peace on earth,
Of harmony and struggle
Know you now a cycle's gone and a new one is revealed.
In the weaving of your fingers
In the whisper of a love that's born again
In the weaving of your fingers
In a promise that we made that never ends.

In a promise that we made that never ends.
In a promise that we made that never ends.

We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This

Written by Jim Lauderdale
Performed by George Strait

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doing this

Only an isolated incident
But the acquaintance left me stunned
The first attraction was the hardest hit
I thought I'd ever overcome
This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doing this

We'd each be hurting somebody else
if we don't say our good-byes real fast
Won't even think about a farewell kiss
we really shouldn't be doing this
Well

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie
This kinda talk can lead us to somewhere
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doing this

This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doing this
Won't even think about a good-bye kiss
We really shouldn't be doing this

By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes

Well, the whole town's talkin'
'Bout the line I'm walkin'
That leads right to your door
Oh, how I used to roam
I was a rolling stone

I used to have a wild side
They say a country mile wide
I'd burn those beer joints down
That's all changed now
You turned my life around

Oh, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

I used to love 'em and leave 'em
Oh, I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true

Baby, you and me together
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever known
We're right on track
I ain't lookin' back

Yeah, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Oh, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Yeah, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Yeah, I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
