Candles in the window,
shadows painting the ceiling,
gazing at the fire glow,
feeling that gingerbread feeling.
Precious moments,
special people,
happy faces,
I can see.
Somewhere in my mem'ry,
Christmas joys all around me,
living in my mem'ry,
all of the music,
all of the magic,
all of the fam'ly home here with me.

The Drifters - White Christmas
Doo doo, doo doo
Doop doop, doop doo doop
Doo doo, doo doo
Doop doop, doop doo doop
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where those treetops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, the snow
Then I-I-I am dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I-I-I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten, and the children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I-I-I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May those days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Ooh
Doop doop, doop doo doop
Doo doo, doo doo
Doop doop, doop doo doop
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where those treetops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, the snow
Then I-I-I am dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I-I-I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten, and the children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I-I-I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May those days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Ooh

Southside Johnny Lyon - Please Come Home For Christmas
Bells will be ringing
The glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas
To have the blues
My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings
Once again
Choirs will be singing
"Silent Night"
Christmas carols
By candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas
Then by New Year's Night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine up above
For this is Christmas
Christmas, my dear
The time of year
To spend with the one you love
Then won't you please tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's
Will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow
No grief or pain
Because it's Christmas
Christmas once again
The glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas
To have the blues
My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings
Once again
Choirs will be singing
"Silent Night"
Christmas carols
By candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas
Then by New Year's Night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine up above
For this is Christmas
Christmas, my dear
The time of year
To spend with the one you love
Then won't you please tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's
Will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow
No grief or pain
Because it's Christmas
Christmas once again

John Williams - O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
'Til 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
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night
O night divine
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night
O night divine
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
'Til 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
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night
O night divine
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night
O night divine

John Williams - Carol Of The Bells
[ Featuring Mykola Leontovych ]
Hark! How the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air
O, how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home
Hark! How the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air
O, how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home.
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home

John Williams - Star of Bethlehem
Star of Bethlehem shining bright
Bathing the world in heav'nly light,
Let the glow of your distant glory
Fill us with hope this Christmas night.
Star of innocence, star of goodness
Gazing out since time began,
You who've lived through endless ages
View with love the age of man.
Star of beauty hear our plea,
Whisper your wisdom tenderly.
Star of Bethlehem set us free
Make us a world we long to see.
Star of Bethlehem, star up high,
Miracle of the midnight sky,
Let your luminous life of heaven
Better our hearts and make us fly.
Star of happiness, star of wonder
You see everything from afar,
Cast your eye upon the future
Make us wiser than we are.
Star of gentleness, hear our plea,
Whisper your wisdom tenderly.
Star of Bethlehem set us free
Make us a world we long to see.
Bathing the world in heav'nly light,
Let the glow of your distant glory
Fill us with hope this Christmas night.
Star of innocence, star of goodness
Gazing out since time began,
You who've lived through endless ages
View with love the age of man.
Star of beauty hear our plea,
Whisper your wisdom tenderly.
Star of Bethlehem set us free
Make us a world we long to see.
Star of Bethlehem, star up high,
Miracle of the midnight sky,
Let your luminous life of heaven
Better our hearts and make us fly.
Star of happiness, star of wonder
You see everything from afar,
Cast your eye upon the future
Make us wiser than we are.
Star of gentleness, hear our plea,
Whisper your wisdom tenderly.
Star of Bethlehem set us free
Make us a world we long to see.

Candles in the window,

Christmas joys all around me,
living in my mem'ry,
all of the music,

Mel Torme - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Once again 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
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Once again 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
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Once again 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
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Once again 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
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
