Number One For Christmas
03:13
|
|||
[verse 1]
You are an Angel to me
Sitting at the top of the tree
Forget the lies we’ve been sold
All that glitters is not gold
[Chorus]
You’re my number one for Christmas (number one)
Top of the Santa list
You're my number one for Christmas (number one)
Top of the list
[verse 2]
Tumbled out of midnight mass
Behind the faces of the past
You held my hand on Snowman Hill
And when we kissed, the time stood still
[Chorus]
You’re my number one for Christmas (number one)
Top of the Santa list
You're my number one for Christmas (number one)
Top of the list
[verse 3]
Early nights are drawing near
Getting dark at the end of the year
Waking up to another dawn
Then the lights, they all come on

No Room At The Inn
03:02
|

[verse 1]
It’s been a long hard day
We’ve travelled such a long hard way
And now we’re looking for a place to stay
[verse 2]
Should get someone to intervene
It’ll take a miracle to find a bed
Somewhere clean to lay your head
[verse 3]
Not really looking for Palm Springs
I know someone who could pull some strings
To swap this road for somewhere you could lay your load
[verse 4]
It’s been a long hard day
We’ve travelled such a long hard way
And now we’re looking for a place to stay
[outro]
It’s such a sin, it’s such a sin…
There is no room at the inn
There is no room, there is no room…

Sunflower In The Snow
03:06

[verse 1]
Sunflower in the snow
You shouldn’t be here, don’t you know
Like a fish that’s drowning in the water
A lamb separated from his mother
[verse 2]
Sunflower in the cold
You shouldn’t be here, you’re getting old
I’m pulling on my Christmas jumper
Been sitting here since the summer
[Chorus]
Sun in the snow (x4)
[verse 3]
Sunflower in the rain
The sky is crying down the drain
The whole wide world is getting warmer
What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger
[verse 4]
Sunflower in the wind
The storm it blows you, tall and thin
Standing there, you’re battle hardened
The last thing living in this garden
[Chorus]
Sun in the snow (x4)
[verse 5]
Sunflower in the dark
Another day gone, but it’ll be back
All through the night, the wind’s blowing ill
Come dawn of day, you’re standing still
[Velvets section]
You should, turn and face to the Sun (x4)
[verse 6]
Sunflower back in the sun
Another summer’s just begun
There’s June, July, August and September
Follow the sun and follow forever

At Christmas Time
03:15
|
|||
[verse 1]
Lovers come and lovers go, they kiss beneath the mistletoe
At Christmas time, at Christmas time
Ring the bells it’s Christmas Eve, what will you find beneath the tree
At Christmas time, at Christmas time
[Chorus]
Get out his way, here comes the sleigh
[verse 2]
Santa comes but once a year I hear the sleigh he’s getting near
At Christmas time, at Christmas time
Straight to bed on Christmas eve, cause Santa’s here when you’re asleep
At Christmas time, at Christmas time
[Chorus]
Get out his way, here comes the sleigh
[verse 3]
Home from midnight mass they go, they’ll drink some wine and pray for snow
At Christmas time, at Christmas time
Turn on the lights from years before, they bring the choirs to your door
At Christmas time, at Christmas time
[Chorus]
Get out his way, here comes the sleigh

New Year Or New York
03:13
|

[verse 1]
Lately, I’m becoming forgetful
Of late, I still remember you
The days go by so fast
They’re always running from the past
Always running from themselves
[verse 2]
Yesterday, I chanced across your picture
The sepia has faded long ago
Was never one for looking back
I’ll keep those feelings in the dark
I’ll keep those feelings all to myself
[verse 3]
Your letter, it called me to the east coast
Your letter, said more than you meant to
Never caught that flight to JFK
And perhaps it turned out best that way
Perhaps, I’ve said more than I had meant to
[verse 4]
The hours are counting down to midnight
They’re counting on another steady year
Spent the whole night in my favourite seat
I’m like the city somewhere that never sleeps
The city where you live, and you’re not here
[verse 5]
I haven’t seen you since the war was over
Left a gap just like the Continental Shelf
Plastic knives and plastic forks
New Year or New York
I’ll keep those feelings all to myself
Plastic knives and plastic forks
New Year or New York
I’ll keep those feelings all to myself

Silent Night
03:20
|
|||
[verse 1]
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace [x2]
[verse 2]
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Sleep in heavenly peace [x2]
[verse 3]
Silent night, holy night
Son of god, love's pure light
Radian beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Sleep in heavenly peace [x2]
[verse 4]
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace [x2]
