Christmas Time.
Vocals: Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and photographer Bryan Adams [OC OBC FRPS].
Lyrics: Rhythm & blues singer, saxophonist and songwriter Marvin Phillips.
Christmas Time.
We waited all through the year,
For the day to appear,
When we could be together in harmony.
You know the time will come,
Peace on earth for everyone,
And we can live forever,
In a world where we are free.
Let it shine for you and me,
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
We’re all as one tonight,
It makes no difference if you’re black or white,
‘Cause we can sing together in harmony.
I know it’s not too late,
The world would be a better place,
If we can keep the spirit,
More than one day in the year,
Send a message loud and clear.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
It’s the time of year, everyone’s together,
We’ll celebrate here on Christmas day,
When the ones you love are there,
You can feel the magic in the air,
You know it’s everywhere.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day,
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away,
Please tell me Christmas would never go away.

Christmas Is.
Lyrics: American singer-songwriter and actress Dolly Parton.
Vocals: American singers-songwriters and actresses Dolly Parton and Miley Ray Cyrus, latter dubbed the “Pop Chameleon”.
Christmas Is.
(Mmhmm
Ah huh
Mmhmm)
Christmas is a time for caring,
Being at your best.
Christmas is a time for sharing,
Knowing you’ve been blessed.
Christmas is a time for giving,
Love is made of this,
That’s what Christmas is.
Christmas is a joyful time,
If you’re the lucky ones.
Some are blessed with gifts and trinkets,
Others having none.
Some have feasts up on the table,
Others having crumbs.
There are the haves and the have nots,
And you could be either one.
It’s all about kindness,
Love and compassion,
Better to give than receive.
That is a true fact,
But those who don’t know that,
Well, they are the poorest indeed.
And I hope you remember every December,
That bright shining light from above,
The promise from God’s lips,
The greatest of all gifts,
Wrapped up in His wonderous love (His wondrous love).
So rejoice in His glory,
The great Christmas story,
And to all that you’re sharing in will (uh huh),
You go tell it with passion (oh),
Of love everlasting (lasting),
‘Cause that’s what Christmas is.
Is a time for caring,
Being at your best,
Christmas is a time for sharing,
Knowing you’ve been blessed.
Christmas is a time for giving,
Love is made of this,
That’s what Christmas is.
(Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm),
That’s what Christmas is.

I Need a Silent Night
Vocals: American singer; songwriter and musician Amy Grant.
Lyrics: Amy Grant and British Contemporary Christian singer and classic songwriter Christopher Neville Eaton.
I Need a Silent Night
I’ve made the same mistake before,
Too many malls, too many stores.
December traffic, Christmas rush,
It breaks me till I push and shove,
Children are crying while mothers are trying,
To photograph Santa and sleigh.
The shopping and buying and standing forever in line.
What can I say?
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here,
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
December comes then disappears,
Faster and faster every year.
Did my own mother keep this pace,
Or was the world a different place?
Where people stayed home wishing for snow,
Watching three channels on their TV.
Look at us now rushing around,
Trying to buy Christmas peace.
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise,
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here.
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
What was it like back there in Bethlehem,
With peace on earth, good will toward men?
Every shepherd’s out in the field,
Keeping watch over their flock by night,
And the glory of the Lord shone around them,
And they were so afraid.
And the angels said fear not for behold,
I bring you good news of a great joy that shall be for all people.
For unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace.
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise,
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here,
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
To end this crazy day with a silent night.

You Needed Me
Vocals: Canadian pop, country, and adult contemporary music singer, who has sold over 55 million album copies worldwide Anne Murray.
Lyrics: American songwriter, pianist, and producer Randy Goodrum.
You Needed Me
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry,
I was confused, you cleared my mind,
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me,
And held me up and gave me dignity,
Somehow you needed me.
You gave me strength to stand alone again,
To face the world out on my own again,
You put me high upon a pedestal,
So high that I could almost see eternity,
You needed me, you needed me.
And I can’t believe it’s you,
I can’t believe it’s true,
I needed you and you were there,
And I’ll never leave, why should I leave?
I’d be a fool, ’cause I finally found someone who really cares.
You held my hand when it was cold,
When I was lost, you took me home,
You gave me hope when I was at the end,
And turned my lies back into truth again,
You even called me “friend”,
You gave me strength to stand alone again,
To face the world out on my own again,
You put me high upon a pedestal,
So high that I could almost see eternity,
You needed me, you needed me.
You needed me, you needed me.

This One’s For You.
Lyrics: Accordion player with the Furey Brothers, Terry Bradford, composed this song as a tribute to the late Paul Furey who was once a member of the Furey Brothers and Davie Arthur group.
Vocals: The Furey Brothers And Davie Arthur.
This One’s For You.
Ah you turn the pages of your life,
See friend’s that come and go,
But that sir you are just a man,
That everyone should know.
From perfect stock, the kind of rock,
That made this island’s name,
But though the sun shone bright for you,
You left us just the same.
This one’s for you buddy, where ever you may be,
I never really told you what your friendship meant to me.
A glass or two buddy, are to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
With so many treasured moments, I just don’t know where to start,
‘Cause Paul you played the kind of way that walked right through my heart,
And with a pint and a spoof, you were living proof of how to play the game,
And with so much left to give the world, you left us just the same.
This one’s for you brother, where ever you may be.
I never really told you what your music meant to me.
A glass or two brother, are to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
A real old fashioned lady, with goodness through and through,
Ma you were the greatest woman that I ever knew.
You handed me the gift of life and helped me stake my claim.
I never thought you’d go away, but you left us just the same.
This one’s for you mammy, where ever you may be.
I never really told you what your loving meant to me.
A glass or two mammy, are to stir the memory,
And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
(Repeat last verse)
