Jesus was born on Christmas Day
Long ago and far away
Three Wise Men Bells in the steeple ringing clear
Are wishing you a happy New Year
(1) Born a king on earth to reign,
A gift of gold I bring to crown him again Ostinato – Happy Christmas! Happy
(2) Frankincense offering Christmas! Happy Christmas to you. Yes have
for the gentle infant king; a… (back to start)
Heav’n and Earth proclaim the birth,
joyfully sing!
(3) Humbly I must kneel,
my gift of myrrh to give; Walking in the Air
God has come to Earth
that all mankind may live. We're walking in the air,
We're floating in the moonlit sky;
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.
Happy Christmas
I'm holding very tight,
Have a lovely Christmas! I'm riding in the midnight blue;
Be full of Christmas cheer. I'm finding I can fly so high above with you.
We wish you the best joy and zest
and a wonderful New Year. On across the world
We hope you… (back to start) the villages go by like dreams,
The rivers and the hills,
Ostinato – Happy Christmas! Happy the forests and the streams.
Christmas! Happy Christmas to you. Children gaze, open mouthed,
Yes have a… (back to start) taken by surprise.
Nobody down below believes their eyes.
Good King Wenceslas We're surfing in the air,
We're swimming in the frozen sky,
Good King Wenceslas last looked out We're drifting over icy
On the Feast of Stephen mountains floating by.
When the snow lay 'round about
Deep and crisp and even Suddenly, swooping low on an ocean deep,
Brightly shone the moon that night Rousing up a might monster from his sleep.
Though the frost was cruel We're walking in the air,
When a poor man came in sight We're dancing in the midnight sky,
Gath'ring winter fuel And everyone who sees us
greets us as we fly.3
We Wish You a Merry Christmas Mistletoe and Wine
We wish you a merry Christmas The child is a king, the carolers sing
We wish you a merry Christmas The old has passed, there's a new beginning
We wish you a merry Christmas Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow
and a happy new year Fingers numb, faces aglow
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
We wish you a merry Christmas Children singing Christian rhyme
and a happy new year With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding A time for living, a time for believing
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding A time for trusting, not deceiving
And bring it right here Love and laughter and joy ever after
Ours for the taking, just follow the master
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
and a happy new year Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
We won't go until we get some A time to rejoice in the good that we see
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some Silent night, Holy night
So bring it right here Aaah, Aaah,
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin It's a time for giving, a time for getting
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy A time for forgiving and for forgetting
new year Christmas is love, Christmas is peace
A time for hating and fighting to cease
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas Chorus with descant
We wish you a merry Christmas Christmas time (silent night), mistletoe and
and a happy new year wine (Holy night)
Children singing Christian rhyme
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
We wish you a merry Christmas A time to rejoice in the good that we see
and a happy new year x2

The Lights Will Lead Me Home For the windows call a welcome,
And the lights will lead me home.
When the winter light is falling, Lights will lead me home.
And the streets are dark and grey.
See reflections in the water, winter day.
In the glow of every streetlamp, (ooh) Reindeer on the Roof
In the coming of the night (ooh)
Through the shifting of the shadows, winter (Reindeer on the roof) Wake up, I think I hear
light (ooh, winter night) (They’re on the roof)
Santa and his eight reindeer
But each footstep brings me closer (ooh) (They’re on the roof) I knew they would arrive
And I know I’m not alone. (They’re on the roof)
For the windows call a welcome, I’m the luckiest kid alive!
And the lights will lead me home. (I said the) reindeer, the reindeer,
Are on the roof. They’re on the roof.
When the air is cold and bitter,
And the wind rides every hill. (Reindeer on the roof) Wake up, I think I see
Heads are lowered, fingers tingle, winter chill. (They’re on the roof)
Lots of presents just for me.
When the night is never-ending, (ooh) (They’re on the roof)
When the journey seems too far. (ooh) They’ve loaded up the sleigh
Overhead a light to guide me, winter star. (They’re on the roof)
(ooh, winter star) Getting ready for this big day.
(I said the) Reindeer, the reindeer
But each footstep brings me closer, (ooh)
Are on the roof
And I know I’m not alone. (ooh)
They’re on the roof.
For the windows call a welcome,
And the lights will lead me home.
I hear them dancing
They’re so entrancing
And I’ll sigh with relief as I walk
through that front door, Reindeer on the roof!
I hear their hoof beat
And I’ll drink that cup of chocolate
It’s sounding so sweet
that I’ve been waiting for.
They’re here on my street
And I’ll smile with delight
Reindeer on the roof
as my fingers start to thaw,
When I’m coming home again.
(Reindeer on the roof) Wake up, I think I hear
All the trees are standing silent, (They’re on the roof)
And the branches sparkle white. Santa and his eight reindeer
There the silver moon is shining, winter night. (They’re on the roof) I knew they would arrive
Now familiar places beckon (ooh), (They’re on the roof)
And I know it won’t be long (ooh). I’m the luckiest kid alive!
I can hear the blackbird calling, winter song (I said the) reindeer, the reindeer,
(ooh, winter song). Are on the roof. They’re on the roof.
Reindeer on the roof
But each footstep brings me closer (ah), Reindeer on the roof.
And I know I’m not alone (ah). THEY’RE ON THE ROOF!10
The Power of Love Your Song
Dreams are like angels, They keep bad at bay It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
Love is the light, Scaring darkness away I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I'm so in love with you, Make love your goal I don't have much money
But boy if I did
The power of love, A force from above I'd buy a big house where
Cleaning my soul, Flame on burn desire We both could live.
Love with tongues of fire, Purge the soul
Make love your goal So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
I'll protect you from the hooded claw See I've forgotten if
Keep the vampires from your door They're green or they're blue
When the chips are down I'll be around Anyway the thing is,
With my undying death-defying love for you What I really mean,
Envy will hurt itself Yours are the sweetest eyes
Let yourself be beautiful I've ever seen
Sparkling light,
flowers and pearls and pretty girls And you can tell everybody
Love is like an energy This is your song
Rushing in, rushing inside of me It maybe quite simple but
Now that it's done
The power of love, A force from above I hope you don't mind
Cleaning my soul, Flame on burn desire I hope you don't mind
Love with tongues of fire, Purge the soul That I put down in words
Make love your goal How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwined divine, divine If I was a sculptor, but then again no
Love is danger, love is pleasure Or a girl who makes potions in
Love is pure, the only treasure A traveling show
I'm so in love with you I know it's not much but
Make love your goal It's the best I can do.
My gift is my song and
The power of love, A force from above This one's for you.
Cleaning my soul, The power of love
A force from above, A sky scraping dove Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Flame on burn desire,
Love with tongues of fire And you can tell everybody
Purge the soul, Make love your goal This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Make love your goal Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world.11 Somewhere Only We Know I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting tired and I need someone to rely on I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? Oh simple thing, where have you gone? (oh thing where have you gone?) I'm getting old and I need something to rely on (ah) And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go somewhere only we know? (Ooh) Somewhere only we know Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Oh simple thing, where have you gone? (oh thing where have you gone?) I'm getting old and I need something to rely on (ah) So tell me when you're gonna let me in (tell me when, let me in) I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin (ah, ah) And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go somewhere only we know? (ooh, ooh, ooh) Somewhere only we know
