2.All I Want For Christmas
Written：William Preston Henderson
This time of year I like to remember
The gifts of cheer to put under the tree
Sharing the things that make the December
Here is my list, for you, just from me
All I want for Christmas, a friend that sparkles
And snow that light on the ground
Children with frost in their hair
Presents around everywhere
I hope you don think that I square
Just because I e seen Santa, hey
All I want for Christmas
Is people smiling, in love to go all around
And if I might insist, I like to make one wish
May I share this Christmas with you？
I e done my shopping, stuffed all my stockings
Filled up my heart to the brim
Topping my list of so much to do
Is sharing my wish of joy just for you
All I want for Christmas
Are people smiling, in love to go all around
And if I might insist, I like to make just one wish
May I, baby, tell me can I, you know what I want little girl
Why don you let me, what I mean baby, just the two of us
May I spend this Christmas with you？

5.Blackjack
Lyrics：Ray Charles
Music：Ray Charles
Ah let me tell you people
About this blackjack game
It's caused me nothing but trouble
And I've only myself to blame
Hey hey hey yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get
Lord, blackjack takes it away from me
My friends don't come around me
Because I've been so blind
I can't even borrow a nickle
Now I've almost lost my mind
Hey hey hey yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get
Lord, blackjack takes it away from me
I sat there with two tens
I thought I'd have some fun
The dealer hit sixteen with a five
Just enough to make twenty one
Hey hey hey yeah yeah
How unlucky can one man be
Well every quarter I get
Yeah, blackjack takes it away from me

7.The Brightest Smile In Town
Written：Bob Sherman／Ray Charles／Barry Devorzon
Some people cry the blues, I never could
I had no time for tears, life was too good
I had the brightest smile in town, oh yeah
Till you came along, and you turned it upside down.
Everything went my way, life was a ball
But then you came along and changed it all
You took the brightest smile in town,
Yeah you took it baby, and you turned it upside down
You brought me love, oh tender love
That made my whole world glow
And then you took it all away
Just why, I'll never know
I'll soon forget in time, And smile again
But I can never smile as I did then
You took the brightest smile in town, oh Yeah
You took it baby, and you turned it upside down
Baby, woooh, yeah baby, you turned it upside down.

Written：Rosalyn Winters／Douglas Fraser／Julia Fraser
Winter nights, twinkling lights
And snowflakes falling to the ground
The air is filled with Christmas
Santa sleigh, kids at play
It that magic time of year
When love is all around us
And that magic seems
To reach right out and touch me again
Just like the years before

It seems that time stands still for Christmas
It time for laughter and cheer
A time for giving to others
And sharing our love with those we hold so dear
To soon the season over
As I face the New Year
This wish I make oh yeah
At every start, maybe Christmas
Always Christmas in my heart
Seems that time stands still for Christmas
It time for laughter and cheer
A time for giving to others
And sharing our love with those we hold so dear
To soon the season over
And as I face the New Year
This wish I make on every start
Maybe Christmas
Always Christmas in my heart
Oh, Oh, It just Christmas in my heart
Have a good time

10.Christmas Time
Lyrics：Edward Cole
Music：Edward Cole
Down through the ages
Round this time of year
People's hearts all a-glow
Yuletide carols fill the air with cheer
While children laugh and play out in the snow
Lights on christmas trees
and snowflakes fallin' down
What a lovely site to see
You will always know when christmas time is near
You feel the need to be in harmony
'Cause christmas time
is really more than givin'
It's spreading all the news of peace and love
Christmas time
is all about receiving
the gift that god has sent from up above
People goin' here
and people goin' there
Buying gifts for those they
know and love
Never stop to think
that the greatest gift of all
is he who sends his love from up above
Waitin' in suspense
to open all my gifts
It seems like the time just creeps along
When we finally see the presents that we have
We open up our hearts and sing this song
That christmas time
is really more than givin'
It's spreading all the news of peace and love
Christmas time
is all about receiving
the gift that god has sent from up above
Christmas time
is really more than givin'
Christmas time
is all about receiving
Christmas time
spreading news of peace and love
Christmas time
the gift that god has sent from up above
Christmas time
is really more than givin'

11.The Cincinnati Kid
Written：Dorcas Cochran／Lalo Schiffrin
He came witht the name Cincinnati
A kid with no ace in the hole
On a hot poker pot, Cincinnati
Had staked his heart and soul
He played night and day like a demon
And prayed for that one lucky day
When the lush royal flush of his dreaming
Is just a game away
Beyond all the green felt shadows
His own queen of hearts will wait
But till he's king of the green felt shadows
She'll wait, and wait, and wait
For sure as the cards will be falling
And chips in the pot, he'll remain
For the book Lady Luck will be calling
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid
I mean the Cincinnati kid
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid
Whoah, the Cincinnati kid
I'm talking about the Cincinnati kid
Everybody knows the Cincinnati kid
Have you heard about the, the Cincinnati kid

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river

18.Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Lyrics：Cole Porter
Music：Cole Porter
Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from
major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from
major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.

Lyrics：Jule Styne／Sammy Cahn

The torch I carry is handsome, it's worth its heartache in

Now when that twilight steals, I know how the lady in the harbor
feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather, I'm just as blue, blue as
the sky
22.Hardhearted Hannah
Written：Jack Yellen／Robert Bigelow／Milton Ager／Charles Ba
They call her Hardhearted Hannah,
the vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough,
but Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who likes to see men suffer
To tease 'em and thrill 'em,
to torture and kill 'em
Is her delight they say.
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man
That's Hardhearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah G-A
(bridge)
They call her Hardhearted Hannah,
the vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Talk about your cold refrigerating mammas
Brother she's a polar bears pajamas
To tease 'em and thrill 'em,
to torture and kill 'em
Is her delight they say.
An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees
Is like being in Alaska in your B.V.D.'s
That's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah G-A
23.How Long Has This Been Going On？
Lyrics：Ira Gershwin
Music：George Gershwin
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years？
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on？
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on？
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on？
24.I Can Make It Thru The Days(But Oh Those Lonely Nights)
Written：Ray Charles／Ruth Robinson／Dee Ervin
Girl, I'm so lonesome tonight
I was just lyin' here wonderin' where you are
And what you're doin'
And Lord knows the thing that worries me the most
Is who yer don' it with
That's why, if you don't mind,
I'd like to sing these words to ya, ya see
I've got new books to read
But they ain't what I need
And this picture of you
Just won't do, no, no, baby
And the postcards you send would never (never) mend
The pain in my heart when we're apart
Girl I can make it thru the day
But oh, please help me thru the lonely nites
When I'm on my job It's not too hard
But when I go home
And I'm all alone (and I'm by myself babe you heard me)
You know you're my crutch I need you're sweet touch
Then it gets the nite time again Lord when will it end
I'll make it thru the day say, but oh
You don't know nothin' about the lonely nites
Well now nite go away please hurry up day
Cause my nite lite burns and I toss and turn
Tell me what would I see if I turned on TV
I don't know what to do, Lord knows, I need me some you
I can make it thru the day
Please help me thru the lonely nite
25.I Chose To Sing The Blues
Written：Jimmy Holiday／Ray Charles
I could have been a gambler
'coz I'm good with the cards
I could have been a lover
breakin' other's hearts
and I feel so silly
bettin' on the dice
and a lover seldom sees
the same girl twice
and that is why (that is why)
that's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues, yes I did
now, I could have been a doctor
helping the sick
and I could have been a lawyer
but you know that ain't my stick
'coz I feel so bad
if a patient didn't do well
and I feel just as bad
to leave a client in jail
and that is why (that is why)
that's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
(sax solo)
Now a man has a lot
that he could present
just to think I could have been
president
but I can't understand
what politicians say
so I wanna talk to you
in my own little way
and that is why (that is why)
that's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
Yes I did, friends
Don't you know what I mean
I like what I'm doin'
You know, I like the blues
Everybody understands
What I mean when I say
Something like this here
Unnnnnnn-hoo
Yeah
Yeah-hoo
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout when I sing

26.I Cried For You
Written：Arthur Freed／Abe Lyman／Gus Arnheim
I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry over me.
Every road has its turning, that's one thing I'm learning.
I cried for you, what a fool I used to be,
Now I find your eyes just a little bit bluer,
And I find your heart just a little bit truer.
I cried for you, not it's your turn to cry over me.

Wait a minute, Jimmy, look here
I'm listenin'
As I was wakin' up this mornin'
Well well
Oh Lord, you know I felt pretty good, Yes I did
I began to stretch and yawn
What for Ray？
Just to see if I could
I can dig it
All at once I got a funny feelin'
That something around here was goin on wrong
Hmm
So you know what I did Jimmy？
What？
I got up and I began to look all around for my baby
Was that it？
That was it, you know the woman had packed up and gone
Oh lord
That's why I say if everybody went to heaven
Hey-ey-ey, I believe I'd miss the call
But you see if it wasn't for bad luck,
Trying to tell you son if it wasn't for bad luck, now now
Oh, oh, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Would you believe I wouldn't have no luck at all
Looka here Ray, you think your luck is bad？
Listen ta what happen to me
Alright
Now listen now
Got a tip on a horse someone gave me, hey hey
Yeah
Pawned my last suit to make the bet
No you didn't
Yes I did
Put every dime I had on him, ah
What？
Listen, you know he ain't showed up yet
Oh! Tell ya I got so disgusted now
Yeah
Said I'll go back home and sleep some more
Now that seem like the right thing to do
But by the time I got back to my room
Are you listenin' Ray？
Yeah yeah, I'm payin' attention
You know the landlord had padlocked my door
Why that dirty . . .
Tell ya a slow horse and a fast woman
Hey hey hey lord they sure did let me fall
That's why I say ah
If it wasn't for bad luck sugar now
Hey if it wasn't for bad luck y'all
Oh! I wouldn't have no luck at all
Oh Ray, listen, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Huh-Yep. But wait a minute, you ain't heard nothin' yet
Let me tell you what happened
Tell me about it
I decided I'd go out walkin'
Say what？
Um-hm. And you know even that failed
Now how can a walk fail, Ray？
Because some man snatched a woman's pocketbook way across town
Say what？
Yeah, and uh guess who they put in jail？
Do tell, do tell
Jimmy, I just can't understand it
I know what you mean
I know there's got to be some kind of explanation
There's got to be, there's got to be
Lord, lord, lord, lord I ain't done nothing wrong
So tell me why I'm doing two years probation
Man I don't know, I got the same trouble
28.I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts of Town
Written：Roy Jacobs／William Weldon
I'm gonna move baby, way out on the outskirts of town

In the heat of the night
Seems like a cold sweat
Creeping cross my brow, oh yes
In the heat of the night
I'm a feelin' motherless somehow
Stars with evil eyes stare from the sky
(In the heat of the night)
Ain't a woman here before
Knows how to make the morning come
So hard to keep control
Well I could sell my soul for just a little light
In the heat of the night
I've got trouble wall to wall
Oh yes I have
I repeat in the night
Must be an ending to us all
Oh Lord, it won't be long
Yes, just you be strong
And it'll be all right
In the heat of the night

Can you tell me, is there anyone out there
Can you hear me, calling you
If you hear, will you listen
Is that too much to ask you to do
I've been searching for someone to care
Ooh Lord is there anyone out there
Will you help me, I need someone to talk to
A brother who I can rely on
Whose not hard to relate to
No, I don't need a shoulder to cry on
All I need is someone with sometime to spare
Yeah, I just ask is there anyone out there
CHORUS
Woow if I sing, will you sing, will you sing out with me

So, if you there, will you answer, answer all my call
Tell me, is there anyone out there at all
Com' on and help me
Is there anyone out there
Can you give me, a moment or two
Take the time out to meet me
All, I wanna do, please is lay some good friendship on you
I got so much I wanna share, I wanna share
Is there anyone out there
Chorus
If, I sing, will you sing, will you sing out with me
Cause I'm down

32.It Should've Been Me
Lyrics：Memphis Curtis
Music：Memphis Curtis
As I passed by
A real fine hotel
A chick walked out
She sure looked swell
I gave her the eye
And started to carry on
When a Cadillac cruised up
And 'swish' she was gone
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
Hey hey hey, hey, driving that, Cadillac
A little later on
A theater I passed
I spotted another chick
And did she have class
I was all set
To write her name in my book
When her husband came up and gave me a
Real dirty look
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
To have been her chaperone
When I got to the corner
I saw a sharp cat
With a 300 dollar suit on
And a 100 dollar hat
He was standing on the sidewalk
By a DynaFlow
When a voice within said,
'C'mon daddy, let's go.'
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
Hey hey hey, hey, driving that, DynaFlow
I ate a bowl of chili
And I felt OK
At least until I passed
This fine Cafe
I saw a guy eatin'
A great big steak
While a waitress stood by feedin' him
Ice cream and cake
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
You know, it should've been me
Eatin' ice, cream and cake
It should've been me
Gettin' my natural kicks
It should've been me
Gettin' my natural kicks
Hey hey hey, hey, lovin' those, crazy chicks

Written：Lillia Hardin Armstrong／Don Raye
Just for a thrill
You changed the sunshine to rain
Just for a thrill
You filled my heart with pain
To me you were my pride and joy
But to you, I was merely a toy
A plaything, that you could toss around at will
Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just led me along
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Well, it was just for a thrill
And baby you, you, made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill

I don't care if you're young or old,
You oughtta get together and let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumbling
Talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball,
You got to go out and spend some cash
And let the good times roll now,
I'm talkin' 'bout the good times,
Well it makes no difference whether you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Hey y'all tell everybody, Ray Charles in town,
I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock,
But don't let no female, play me cheap,
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep.
So let the good times roll now,
I tell y'all I'm gonna let the good times roll now,
Well it don't make no difference if you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Hey no matter whether, rainy weather,
If you want to have a ball, you got to get yourself together,
Oh, get yourself under control, woah, and let the good times
roll.
39.The Little Drummer Boy
Written：Harry Simeone／Katherine K.Davis／Henry Onorati
Come they told me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
A newborn King to see (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
So to honor Him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
when we come
Little Baby (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I am a poor boy too (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I have no gift to bring (pa-rum pum pum pum)
that's fit to give our King
Shall I play for You？ (pa-rum pum pum pum)
On my drum
Mary nodded (pa-rum pum pum pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my drum for Him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my best for Him
Then He smiled at me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Me and my drum
40.Living For The City
Lyrics：Stevie Wonder
Music：Stevie Wonder
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!
His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
(Repeat several times)
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...v yeah,yeah,yeah!
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!
La, La, La, La, La, La,
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Lyrics：Melanie
Music：Melanie
Hello mama, hello mama it's me
How you feeling mama？
Hm-hmm, that's alright
I've got something I want to talk to you about
If you don't mind
And I ain't mad, mama, no, no no no
Wait a minute, listen mama
Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song, ma
The only thing I could do half right and now it's turning out
all wrong, mama
Look what they done to my song
Now listen if you please
Wish I could find a good book, I'd like to live in the thing now
Wish I could find a good book, now, hey hey hey
If I could find a real good book, you know I,
I'd never have to come out and look
At what they done to my song
Look what they done to my brain, ma
Look what they done to my brain
Oh mama, it's a shame, you won't believe this, but it's true
They picked it like a chicken bone and I'm-ah, just about to go
insane mama
Look what they done to my brain
Now girls, if you don't mind, I'd like to hear that some French
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
(ooh, not bad)
Ils ont change ma chanson
(uh-huh. Let me see here {franglish gibberish})
Ils ont change ma chanson
(My French must be pretty bad, I better do this in English)
Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song ma
Put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down ma
Look what they done to my song
(scat)
Maybe it's alright
Maybe it's OK, I don't know
But I tell ya
If my tears were money, I'd be a millionaire today
You know, the only thing I get to have right, now it's turning
out all wrong, mama
You can't believe what they've done to my song ma, that I wrote
myself
They put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside
down, mama
Lord, if I could find a good book,
I'd never have to come out and look at, uh
What they trying to do to my brain
It's a shame mama, you see they
They done pick it like a chicken bone
And I'm-ah just about to go insane
I'm insane, insane, mama
I'm going crazy, mama, that's what it is
Lord knows I don't care what they done to my song
No, I don't care about that, but see
The main thing, mama
What they trying to do to me
You see, well they stole everything I had, mama
And they made a million with it, and you know that hurts
But oh, I'm gonna keep on working on the building,
Just like you taught me, mama
Whoah, yes I will, yes I will, yeah

49.Rainy Night In Georgia
Lyrics：Tony Joe White
Music：Tony Joe White
Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend
the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' 'It's all
right.'
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the
night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the
night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game
I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some
time
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my
chest and I feel fine
(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a
rainy night in Georgia I
feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's
rainin' all over the
world
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people？
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'

Lyrics：Johnny D.Marks
Music：Johnny D.Marks
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight？
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history

Bicarbonated soda by the pound

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Christmas is the time of year
to be with the ones you love
Sharin' so much joy and cheer
What a wonderful feelin'
Watching the ones we love
Having so much fun
I was sittin' by the fireside
Taking a walk through the snow
Listening to a children's choir
Singing songs about Jesus
The blessed way that he came to us
Why can't it remain
All through the year
Each day the same
That's what I wanna hear
huh huh
It's truly amazing
That spirit of Christmas
All the kinfolk gather 'round
The lovely Christmas tree
Hearts are glowing full of joy
Since the gifts that we're giving
And the love that we're living
Why can't it remain

Whoa, yes it is

And that's why I, I, I, I,
Oh, I love that little girl of mine
Do you know that this little girl of mine

Stops the traffic on the street
When the fellas start whistling, well I don't mind
I can't blame them, 'cause she is fine

67.Understanding
Written：Ray Charles／Jimmy Holiday
＊ Understanding is the best thing in the world ,
between a boy and a girl
boy and girl and even a woman or a man , its always
better when you realy understand
1) You know understanding is a mighty powerful thing ,
thats why it makes me so sad
when I see my friends wandering aroung thru the world
, never knowing the meaning of the word
understanding , so in the next few minutes, Im gonna
try to explain just exactly what it means
now wait a minute, listen , for instance , you take me
and my old lady , we gotta good thing goin
because I know If I dont work and pay the rent and the
bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear well ,
there are fifteen other guys just waitin round the
corner , and I dont care how much that woman loves me
, she's gonna go out and find herself one of them who
will and thats why I believe that
＊ repeat
2) Now listen I dont want you to think that this is a
one sided affair , no no
because my old lady also understands that a man must
have respect
what I mean is , if she must play around dont let me
catch her , because what I dont see cant hurt me , you
understand？ but on the other hand , If I should ever
catch her Im not gonna talk about-a
and call her a bunch of bad names like you all might
no no mh
what Im gonna do , Im gonna go down-town to the
hardware store and buy myself a double blade axe ,
come back , square off, and believe her soul's gonna
belong to the good lord
because her head's gonna belong to me , and I
guarantie she'll know what I mean when Ill say
＊ repeat several times ............. ( FADE )

Lyrics：William C.Dix
Music：William C.Dix
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping？
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping？
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing：
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby：
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Lyrics：Dick Smith
Music：Felix Bernard
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
In his place is the new bird
He's singing our song, as we go along
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Bridge 1：
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say 'Are you married ？', We'll say 'No man,
But you can do the job when you're in town.'
Verse 3：
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Bridge 2：
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr.Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
Verse 4：
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though you know, kids are chillin'
We'll frolick ＆ play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a Winter Wonderland (wo oh oh ...)
