All I Want For Christmas

Written by Maria Carey and Walter Afanasieff
Performed by Maria Carey


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stockings
There upon the fireplace
Santa Clause won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the north pole for Saint nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You

Private Eyes

Written by Daryl Hall, Warren Pash, Sara Allen and Janna Allen
Performed by Hall and Oates


I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin the lines when you're making a scene
Oh girl, you’ve got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it's watching for lies
You can't escape my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching you watching you watching you

You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that aint enough
Cause girl I’m gonna know
If you're letting me in or letting me go
Don't lie when you're hurting inside
Cause you can't escape my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching you watching you watching you

Why you try to put up a front for me
I’m a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
I’ll still know you
Look into my private eyes

Pure Imagination

Written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley
Performed by Gene Wilder


{Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three}

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world
Of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If Your Heart Aint Busy Tonight

Written by Christopher Dunn and Thomas Shapiro
Performed by Tanya Tucker


If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Well I could keep it occupied for a long long time
If your lips ain't got something pressing to do
If your arms aren't held up, well their invited too
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
Anytime

Well it's kind of you to lend me an ear
Well that's a start but I believe
If I could only get the rest of you over here
Then all of you might fall in love with all of me
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
Anytime - Oh-yeah

If your feet are restless for somewhere to go
And your eyes want something more to see
Why don't you let them lead the rest of you to my door
So all of you can fall in love with all of me

If your heart ain't busy tonight
Well maybe it would like to get with mine
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Well I could keep it occupied for a long long time
Yes I could

If your lips ain't got something pressing to do
If your arms aren't held up, well they're invited too
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
If your heart ain't busy tonight
Maybe it would like to get with mine
Anytime Uh-Uh

Whenever I Call You Friend

Written by Kenny Loggins and Melissa Manchester
Performed by Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks


Whenever I call you "friend", I begin to think I understand
Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, ever and ever
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do always takes me home to you, ever and ever
'n now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day, we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on 

Chorus:
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight
See love glowin' on us every night, I know forever we'll be doin' it right 

Whenever I call you "friend", I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are, you and I were meant to be, forever and ever
I think about the times to come, knowin' I will be the lucky one
And ever our love will last, I always want to call you "friend" 

Chorus
(instrumental break) 

An' now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on 

Chorus repeats 2x –


doin' it, doin' it
Sweet love (repeats out)...
you're the glowin' light in my life, source of pride in my life
everything I do takes me back to you, whenever I call you friend...

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

Written by Joe South
Performed by Lynn Anderson


I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime

Paperback Writer

Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Performed by The Beatles


Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Dear Sir or Madam will you read my book,
It took me years to write will you take a look,
Based on a novel by a man named Lear,
And I need a job,
So I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It’s a dirty story of a dirty man,
And his clinging wife doesn’t understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail,
It’s a steady job,
But he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It’s a thousand pages give or take a few,
I’ll be writing more in a week or two,
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round,
And I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight,
If you must return it you can send it here,
But I need a break,
And I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer

(There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays

Written by Robert Nevil and Matthew Gerrard
Performed by Perry Como


Oh, theres no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee and he was headin for
Pennsylvania and some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin down to Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home

From Pennsylvania folks are travelin down to Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, oh, The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home

Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
I'm goin' home
Hey, mama make that pumpkin pie
I'll have a little pot of chicken in the sky
There's somethin' in my eye
Mama please keep me dry
Oh.... (fade)

The Air That I Breathe

Written by Mike Hazlewood and Albert Hammond
Performed by kd lang


If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm and tired
What else could I ask, there's nothing to be desired

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes

All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe ...

Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm and tired
What more could I ask, there's nothing to be desired

Sometimes
All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe ...

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep ...
