Lyrics

Christmas Time

When I was young every Christmas Eve
I could not sleep,
Trying to catch that Old St. Nick
leaving presents under my tree,
And every year I'd fall asleep layin' in my bed,
Dreaming of a million sugar plums dancing in my head

Oh, how much joy it is at Christmas time
Spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, how much joy it brings to see the one you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas because

Chorus
There'll be family, and christmas cheer,
Peace and goodwill to all men,
Everybody is home for Christmas,
Everybody is home,
Sneakin' a kissing under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow
Everybody is home for Christmas,
Everybody is home, it's Christmastime

Friends come together as we decorate the tree
This is the time of year to live in harmony
Angels watch over as we put the kids to sleep
And when they awake their smiling faces make it all complete

This is the holiday you're with the family
Put aside our differences, and let it be
Oh, how much fun it is to give and receive
This time of year, love is all we need

Repeat Chorus

Open your heart now,
This is the time for us to give
The world needs love now
So live and let live, family's all here,
The spirit is good cheer, the sound of carolers
Ringin' sweet in my ear, everything is all fine You know why, it's Christmastime, what

Oh, how much joy it is at Christmas time
Spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, how much joy it brings to see the one you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas because

Repeat Chorus (3x)

This Year

You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine
I ain't gonna stop until I make you mine,
You'll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras,
The music on my tongue, when I sing, fa la la
You'll be my flower child, in the month of May
My sunny summer lover on my holiday
You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween,
The winter snow and everything that's in between
This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone

Chorus
This year, this Christmas, together
And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly
This year, this Christmas, forever
And the weeks, the months go rushing by
This year we have learned how to live,
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear
Just love, this Christmas, This Year

You'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind
The shimmy in my hips, oh when I bump and grind
You'll be my Santa Boy, all dressed in red
And ride that little reindeer all through my head
Here we go
This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone

Repeat Chorus

This year I pray for you,
And I thank God for you
I just wanna be with you
This year that's all I wanna do
Day by day I'm gonna get my way
(This year I pray for you)
Seasons turn, I've got a lot to learn
(And I thank God for yoU)

This year I'm gonna gonna take you home
Cuz I don't wanna be alone

Repeat Chorus

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, your troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
And the shining star from the highest bound
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
But 'til then we'll have to muddle through...
Somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
That inspire your heavenly song
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our new-born King
Glory, Glory
In excelsis Deo

On the day that Christ was born
The angels sing such a heavenly song
In excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard on high, (3x)
In excelsis Deo (3x)

Merry Christmas Baby (featuring Dr. John)

Merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice
Mm Merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm livin' in paradise

Well I'm feelin' mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
I'm feelin' mighty fine
Got good music on, music on my radio
Well I wanna kiss you baby
While we're standing underneath the mistletoe

Santa came down the chimney
About a half past three
Left all these pretty presents
That you see before me

Merry Christmas baby, Merry Christmas baby,
You sure been good to me
Well I haven't had a drink this morning
But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree

(Dr. John) St. Nick came down the chimney
About a half past three
He left all these pretty presents
That you see before me
Merry Christmas baby,
You sure been good to me
Haven't tasted my drink
But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree

Merry Christmas baby,
You sure been good to me
Ohhh
Sure been good to, to, to me

Oh Holy Night (featuring Billy Preston)

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, Oh night devine, Oh night divine
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine

These Are The Special Times

In these moments, moments of our lives
All the world is ours, and this world is so right
You and I sharing this time together
Sharing the same dream,
As time goes by we will find

Chorus
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times, these times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the time I share with you

With each moment, moment passing by
We'll make memories that will last all our lives
As you and I travel through time together
Living this sweet dream
And every day we can say

Chorus

These tender moments, when heaven is so close
These are the moments that I know

These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times, these times together
And through it all, one thing will always be true
The special times are the time I share
The special times are the time we share
The special times are the time I share with you

This Christmas

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's going to be together
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas, will be
A very special Christmas, for me

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town they do
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night

And this Christmas, will be
A very special Christmas, for me

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) (Thunderpuss 2000 Version)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you."

They know that Santa's on his way, he's on his way

To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas" (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Ohhhhhhhh (Merry Christmas)

To you.
