SNOW WILL FALL Sifting
through the piles With wrapping in my hand Traveled all these miles Strike
up the band Holly on the stairs Trees lit up so bright Carolers are walking And
singing through the night Snow will fall, snow
will fall Snow will fall all day Watch the scenes play out like dreams As
the night takes them away Snow will fall, snow will fall Snow will fall
all day Watch the scenes play out like dreams As the night takes them away A
day or two ago I walked blocks and blocks Stopped by to see my love She
was warming up her socks The fire began to crack The nog was on sill We
sat down by the window And we drank up the swill Snow
will fall, snow will fall Snow will fall all day Watch the scenes play out
like dreams As the night takes them away Snow will fall, snow will fall Snow
will fall all day Watch the scenes play out like dreams As the night takes
them away Snow will fall, snow will fall Snow
will fall all day Watch the scenes play out like dreams As the night takes
them away Snow will fall, snow will fall Snow will fall all day Watch
the scenes play out like dreams As the night takes them away
FILL UP THE TOWN WITH LIGHT The
wind whispered to the boy Will they come if we build it? In the farmhouse
it said to the boy Will they come if we built it? The sky, the sky Is
shining so bright See those stars like diamonds See those stars like diamonds The
boy whispered to his sister Will they come if we build it? In the kitchen
he said to his sister Will they come if we build it? A tree, a tree Listing
in the wind The wind will ruffle its wings The wind will ruffle its wings
Sister whispered to her grandma Will they
come if we build it? In the rocking chair was grandma Will they come if
we build it? A flower, a flower Bursting through the soil Colors of
yellow and green Colors of yellow and green Grandma
called out to the town They will come if we build it People are in need
all around They will come if we built it The love, the love The love
is in the air Let it fill up the town with light Let it fill up the town
with light The love, the love The love is in the air Let it fill up the
town with light
CHRISTMAS
IN THE CITY Car
horns honk, can you hear? Snowboards and skis are near It whisks them away Off
into the gray It's Christmas in the city again The
houses are covered in snow The snow globes are put up for show Music is
in the air There's ice on the stairs, It's Christmas in the city again Wrap
the lights around windows, Put the wreath upon the front door Ask the postman
for the mail, he says not today The mail will come after the holidays Gather
'round the piano, Sing a song that we all know Have no fear, Feel the
joy, drink the beer, It's Christmas in the city again Wrap
the lights around the windows, Put the wreath upon the front door There's
no place for all this to go, So putting up the decorations ain't no chore It's
cold in the winter In my hand is a splinter We got some firewood, Now
we're all feelin' good It's Christmas in the city again. UP
WITH THE HERO I
can hear those voices "Up with the hero! We shall overcome right
now Everyone will be free" Happiness for the people Loud shouting
in the streets I can hear them protest: "A hero has come to save us
He is the one that made us" "Up with the hero!" We
push him up above He is filled with joy and love Hours go by and he came He
is not the one to blame We are all looking for water We are looking for
the wine We are looking for the savior We are looking for love I can
hear those voices "Up with the hero!" Ramparts
are streaming! Jewels are gleaming! You can feel the joy You can feel
the weight lifting There is glory in the details They read the books again
They give their looks and then The hands are outstretched Reaching upward
toward heaven "Up with the hero!" BOOM
BOOM BOOM Walk
with me, boom boom boom We have things to see, boom boom boom We lay out
all our dreams, boom boom boom We write reams and reams, boom boom boom Boom
boom boom I have love to give, boom boom boom
So here it is Child is born, boom boom
boom May be rich or poor, boom boom boom It's a new morn, boom boom boom
But we live like kings, boom boom boom Boom boom boom I
have so much to give, boom boom boom So here it is A
woman's face, boom boom boom A child's embrace, boom boom boom A fire in
a fireplace, boom boom boom They shine so bright, boom boom boom Boom boom
boom We have so much to give, boom boom boom So
here it is
SAD AT CHRISTMAS Doo-wop
again at night Scrape the ice off the cars People can all get along Even
if it's only for this time But I hope you understand Since I used to be
your man It can be sad at Christmas sometimes I
walked along the boulevard I made a house from gingerbread I looked at lovers
making ice sculptures For some reason I just saw red I hope you understand Since
I used to be your man When you love and you lose It can be sad at Christmas
sometimes I had money and I had friends Then
I gambled it away I can see that joy is all around But it escapes me today I
saw the light in a child's eye I didn't want to let him down I
wish you the best of the best I wish you pile the blessings upon each other I
hope you get close with your family I hope the good times last until January But
I'll get lost for now I guess the season made you happy But I have reasons
to be sad I don't consider it a gift, but I play the cards I'm dealt When
you love and you lose It can be sad at Christmas sometimes

THROUGH TO CHRISTMAS Look
in the windows Look at the dressed up folks Look at the style It's cold,
and my nose is cold We are laughing We are walking I think there is happiness
here I think I heard the clink in the can Street
corner singers Singing their songs at Christmas time La-La-La, they all
sing Bringing us on through to Christmas Street
after street People moving, people pushing Cars drive by Tears are in
the eyes Open those gifts someday soon But for now we just croon The
kids love it, the old folks, too Someone put this together Hey sawbones,
someone Has to sing it Street corner singers Singing
their songs at Christmas time La-La-La, they all sing Bringing us on through
to Christmas La-La-La, they all sing Bringing us on through to Christmas Bringing
us on through to Christmas CHRISTMAS
HAS BEEN HERE FOR AWHILE Christmas
has been here for a while It was long ago started but we still enjoy The
fruits of all they built The night is cold and we can feel the frost Deep,
deep, deep, enchanting night Christmas has been here for a while They
did not know what they saw But they knew they needed to come together In
the heart of December, They walked in dark caverns Deep, deep, deep, enchanting
night Christmas has been here for a while We
look up to the sky We remember why, we let out a sigh There is the manger
and the three wise men Watching and wondering Deep, deep, deep, enchanting
night Christmas has been here for a while There
are as many songs As there are stars in the sky And if you ask for my favorite I
can't tell you which one or why Deep, deep, deep, enchanting night Christmas
has been here for a while They walked along
dark roads They carried candle lights They know all of those songs And
they remember all of those Deep, deep, deep, enchanting nights Christmas
has been here for a while Let us all come together Let
us sing in harmony We have so much to be thankful for tonight Remember
not the dark but the light Deep, deep, deep, enchanting nights Christmas
has been here for a while SOUND
IT OUT Sound
it out in Seattle Look at all the houses Look at people walking The
street signs are bright When the light hit 'em right The slush is in your
shoes Push away those Christmas blues Feel the love tonight Sound
it out in Seattle And bang it on the drum The living walk, the dead are
here We bring it back again Look at your watch Look at the stars Kings
and Queens came before They will come again How
soft, how soft The presents are unwrapped Now we can enjoy We've been
given so much I can hear the words, The world is full of loss, It's time
to do some giving, Don't be dead among the living
