Don't Need a Reindeer
Do you remember long ago?
and how we loved when we were children
let's be like children
this Christmas time.
And if you say that you'll be mine
then all the stars will shine around us
love will surround us
this Christmas time.
(Ahhhh, ahhhh)
I don't need a reindeer
I don't need the snow
tell me you love me
and I'm ready to go
out of the darkness, into the light
this is the Christmas where we make it all right
make it all right.
I hear you talking in my dreams
of nights of love and days of wonder
I still remember each Christmas time.
So if you see me on the street
no need ask me what would please me
it's your love, believe me
this Christmas time.
(Ahhhh, ahhhh)
I don't need a reindeer
I don't need the snow
tell me you love me
and I'm ready to go.
Out of the darkness, into the light
this is the Christmas where we make it all right
yeah, don't need the snow
yeah, I'm ready to go
this is the season of beauty and light
love, love, we can make it all right
make it all right.
I don't need a reindeer
don't need the snow
tell me you love me
and I'm ready to go
out of the darkness into the light
this is the Christmas where we make it all right.
Yeah, people will sing
sing of the new life and the joy it will bring
this is the season of beauty and light
love, love we can make it all right
yeah...
love, love we can make it all right.
'Cause all the world over, the people will sing
yeah, the joy it can bring.
December Snow
Like December snow
that lays in the wood
you're gone too soon
I knew you should.
With October skies
you brought your love
but November came
taking all I have and
time, take this sadness from me
time, bring my heart back safely
hold on to warm September
'cause life can be like December snow.
With your touch of love
in this Autumn world
the Sun was bright
the songs were heard.
And maybe fools like me
are under your spell
but with leaves that fall
I hear you callin'.
Time, take this sadness from me
time, bring my heart back safely
hold on to warm September
'cause life can be like December Snow.
Time, take this sadness from me
time, bring my heart back safely
hold on to warm September
'cause life can be like December Snow.
In the Quiet of Christmas Morning (Bach)
In the quiet of Christmas morning
in the peace of Christmas dawn
the child that is the future
will see the earth reborn.
When we take our Christmas journey
in the steps that went before
with hands across the water
in peace forever more.
In the quiet of Christmas morning
in the peace of Christmas dawn
the child that is the future
will see the earth reborn.
On this Christmas Day
I saw your picture in the paper
I didn't know your name
but the pain was there for all to see
as the snow turned to rain.
I saw your picture didn't know what to do
a lonely face in the crowd
in that moment when the world stood still
and tears lay on the ground.
Wherever I go, I will think of you
whatever I do, whatever I say on this Christmas Day.
A silent a prayer on the street
is it Heaven that has the final word?
with the world at your feet.
Wherever I go, I will think of you
whatever I do, whatever I say on this Christmas Day
on this Christmas day.
Wherever I go, I will think of you
whatever I do, whatever I say on this Christmas Day.
Wherever I go, I will think of you, I will be with you
on this Christmas Day
on this Christmas Day.
Happy Xmas (War is Over)
So this is Christmas
and what have you done?
another year over
a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
the near and the dear ones
the old and the young.
Very, merry Christmas
and a happy new year
let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.
And so this is Christmas
the weak and the strong
the rich and the poor ones
the road is so long.
And so happy Christmas
for black and for white
the yellow and red ones
let's stop all the fight.
A very, merry Christmas
and a happy new year
let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.
A Winter's Tale
The nights are colder now
maybe I should close the door
and anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
and I can follow you no more.
The fire still burns at night
my memories are warm and clear
but everybody knows
it's hard to be alone at this time of year.
It was only a winter's tale
just another winter's tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed?
A love that can never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a world-wide scale
we're just another winter's tale.
While I stand alone
a bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you're here
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
good luck, I wish you well
for all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
are with you for the length
of your time on earth.
It was only a winter's tale
just another winter's tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a world-wide scale
we're just another winter's tale.
It was only a winter's tale
just another winter's tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a world-wide scale
we're just another winter's tale.
We're just another winter's tale.
The Spirit of Christmas
The star of Bethlehem was shining
across a Palestinian sky
the Church of the Nativity was crying
and we looked on, who can tell me why?
where are the wise men when they're wanted?
nowhere to be seen, like thieves in the night
the desert is drifting every closer
the world won't sleep well tonight.
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
lost in the desert or covered in snow
where did the spirit of Christmas go?
if you can find it, please let me know.
The shepherds are in the fields sleeping
waiting for a sign to light up the sky
Heaven is moving ever closer
the promise of a child born on high.
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
lost in the desert or covered in snow
where did the spirit of Christmas go?
if you can find it, please let me know.
Looking for an answer that escapes me (Love set me free!)
if there is a reason let me know (Whoa!)
drifting slow through time and space not knowing where we
are
how did we ever get this far?
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
lost in the desert or covered in snow
where did the spirit of Christmas go?
if you can find it, please let me know.
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
lost in the desert or covered in snow
where did the spirit of Christmas go?
if you can find it, please let me know.
Yes I Believe
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love
still there when the innocence has gone
but we have each other we laugh and we cry
the cares of the world still carry on.
Yes I believe in a better world
and like the rest of us I pray
for peace on this earth and a better life
with every beautiful day.
I once met a holy man who showed me the way
the road to tranquility at last
the more he was listening, the more he would say
with the tales of the days of future passed.
He said "Yes I believe in a better world
and like the rest of us I try
to hold on to hope for a better life
with every day that goes by."
And if we dare to dream of Paradise unseen
it might come true
and if you stand by me
I swear with all my heart
I'll stand by you.
Yes, I believe in a better world
a world where my sisters can be free
and I have a place in my brother's heart
for everybody to see.
I dream of my destiny, my days in the sun
to live in the garden of our love
I search for some happiness
I search for my soul
I pray for some strength from God above.
Yes, I believe in a better world
and like the rest of us, I pray
for peace on this earth and a better life
with every beautiful day
with every beautiful day.
When a Child is Born
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
a tiny spark lights up way up high
all across the land dawns a brand new morn
this comes to pass when a child is born.
A silent wish sails the seven seas
the winds of change whisper in the trees
and the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
this comes to pass when a child is born.
A rosy hue settles all around
you've got the feel you're on solid ground
for a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
this comes to pass when a child is born.
It's all a dream, an illusion now
it must come true, sometime soon, somehow
all across the land dawns a brand new morn
this comes to pass when a child is born.
White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops 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.
In the Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak midwinter
frosty wind may blow
Earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone.
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
snow on snow on snow
in the bleak midwinter
long, long ago.
What can I give him?
poor as I am
if I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
if I were a wise man
I would do my part
yet what I can, I give him
give my heart.
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
snow on snow on snow
in the bleak midwinter
long, long ago.
