Christmas Times A-coming
(tex logan)
Hollys in the window
Home where the wind blows
The cane foams a-runnin
Christmas times a-comin.
Cant you hear them bells ringin, ringin
Joy, dontcha hear them singin
When its snowin, Ill be goin
Back to my country home.
Christmas times a-comin
Christmas times a-comin
Christmas times a-comin
And I know Im goin home.
White candles burnin
My old hearts a-yearnin
For the folks at home when
Christmas times a-comin.
Snow flakes a-fallin
My old hearts a-callin
Tall pines a-hummin
Christmas times a-comin.

Lookout Joe
A hip drag queen and a side-walkin street wheeler,
Comin down the avenue.
Theyre all your friends, youll come to love em
Theres a load of em waitin for you.
Lookout joe, youre comin home.
Old times were good times,
Old times were good times.
Remember millie from down in philly?
She took my brain and forgot my name.
The woman you were with was about the same
She took your money and left town.
Lookout joe, youre comin home.
Old times were good times,
Old times were good times.
Glory hallelujah!
Will I lay my burden down?
Singin on the streets around:
Look at that crazy clown.
Remember bill from up on the hill?
A cadillac put a hole in his arm.
But old bill, hes up there still,
Havin a ball rollin to the bottom.
Lookout joe, youre comin home.
Old times were good times,
Old times were good times.

Christmas Is Love
Written by rich alves, t.j. knight, and jerry taylor
Its that time of year when the whole world is heart tot heart
You can feel love all around you, you can see it everywhere
Christmas is love, its in the songs were singing
Christmas is love, its families comin home
Christmas is love, its on the childrens faces
Christmas is love
Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Chirstmas is love, hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, its sharing in the giving
Christmas is love
We all gather round, watch the lights dancing on the tree
The spirit of the season, you feel it in the air
Christmas is love, its in the songs were singing
Christmas is love, its families comin home
Christmas is love, its on the childrens faces
Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Chirstmas is love, just hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, its sharing in the giving
Christmas is love, christmas is love, christmas is love

A Christmas Folksong
DE win' is blowin' wahmah,
An hit's blowin' f'om de bay;
Dey's a so't o' mist a-risin'
All erlong de meddah way;
Dey ain't a hint o' frostin'
On de groun' ner in de sky,
An' dey ain't no use in hopin'
Dat de snow'll 'mence to fly.
It's goin' to be a green Christmas,
An' sad de day fu' me.
I wish dis was de las' one
Dat evah I should see.
Dey's dancin' in de cabin,
Dey's spahkin' by de tree;
But dancin' times an' spahkin'
Are all done pas' fur me.
Dey's feastin' in de big house,
Wid all de windahs wide —
Is dat de way fu' people
To meet de Christmas-tide?
It's goin' to be a green Christmas,
No mattah what you say.
Dey's us dat will remembah
An' grieve de comin' day.
Dey's des a bref o' dampness
A-clingin' to my cheek;
De aih's been dahk an' heavy
An' threatenin' fu' a week,
But not wid signs o' wintah,
Dough wintah'd seem so deah —
De wintah's out o' season,
An' Christmas eve is heah.
It's goin' to be a green Christmas,
An' oh, how sad de day!
Go ax de hongry chu'chya'd,
An' see what hit will say.
Dey's Allen on de hillside,
An' Marfy in de plain;
Fu' Christmas was like springtime,
An' come wid sun an' rain.
Dey's Ca'line, John, an' Susie,
Wid only dis one lef':
An' now de curse is comin'
Wid murder in hits bref.
It's goin' to be a green Christmas —
Des hyeah my words an' see:
Befo' de summah beckons
Dey's many'll weep wid me.

Runnin Blind
First you say one thing then you say another.
I dont know the difference, were you lyin to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.
Always on the road playin your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin out loud.
Wish you could see babe that youre runnin blind, yeah!
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Well its time for you to play all that you can say
Is get out of my way. dont be in the way
Always hear you screamin
I know youre just dreamin of leavin it all behind.
Hands keep goin up and down
Eyes are turnin around and around
Your goin crazy and nobody minds
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Oooooo! you cant go on runnin blind!
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin

Old Time Christmas
(Aaron Barker/John Jarvis)
Tricycles, bicycles
Candy canes and candlelight
Tryin' to stay awake all night
To catch a glimpse of Santa's reindeer
Mama bakin', sister makin'
Angels in the fallin' snow
Now it seems so long ago
I wish they all were here.
We'd have an old time Christmas
An old time Christmas
Just like the ones from yesterday
We'd leave the world behind us
Let the spirit find us
And have an old time Christmas
For old times sake.
Friends singin', bells ringin'
Snowman standing in the yard
Its a living Christmas card
Captured in our hearts forever
Friends scatter, it won't matter
The magic never melts away
It only takes a Christmas Day
To make it reappear.
We'd have an old time Christmas
An old time Christmas
Just like the ones from yesterday
We'd leave the world behind us
Let the spirit find us
And have an old time Christmas
For old times sake.
So leave the world behind you
Let the spirit find you
And have an old time Christmas
For old times sake.

Comin And Goin
Stay at home
Phone that should be ringin'
Quiet as a picture on the wall
Now, tea for one, a song I'm used to singin'
Walking up and down an empty hall
Takin' off a wrinkled dress
That you never got to see
Then you come a-knockin' at my door
You know you could've fooled me
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh I'm comin' and goin' crazy over you, ah
Ahh, you and me
Once we get together
For a little while we're Jack and Jill
Baby, baby, now face to face, it's too good to believe it
Sure enough, you leave me standing still
You're a complicated man
But I do the best I can
I go in and out of heaven so fast
I don't know where I am
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh, I'm comin' and goin' crazy
Comin' and goin' crazy
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know, now I never know, what to do, ahh
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
You just don't know what you put me through
When the only face I see is you
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Say the magic isn't really gone
It's you I'm still depending on

They're singing 'Deck The Halls'
But it's not like Christmas at all
Cuz I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree

I'm watching them shine

You should be here with me

HOLD ON (I'M COMIN')
Don't you ever feel sad,
lean on me when times are bad.
When the day comes and you're down,
in a river of trouble and I got to drown
just hold on, I'm comin',
hold on, I'm comin'.
I'm goin' my way, your lover.
If you get cold I'll be your cover.
Don't have to worry 'cause I'm here,
no need to suffer baby, I'm here.
'Cause hold on, I'm comin',

Reach out to me for satisfaction,
call my name now for quick reaction.

What Christmas Means To Me
Verse 1)
Oh yeah...
Candles burnin' low,
Lot's of mistle toe.
Lot'sof snow and ice,
Eveywhere we go.
Choirs singin' carols,
Right outside my door.

All these things and more

Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
And little cards you give me
Will touch my heart for sure

As eaches and a little child
Greet you neath the mistle toe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas baby)
And such happiness in the comin' year
Oh baby
Let's deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill a sheet with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to seep and wake up
Just before daylight
(Chorus)
All these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
Whoah!
That's what Chrismas means to me my love

With Bells On
Ill be home with bells on
Ill be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas Ill be home with bells on
Ive traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to others lives
Its christmas time again another year has come and gone
And I cant keep from wonderin how the old folks are at home
Ill be home with bells on
Ill be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas Ill be home with bells on
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells around the christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on
There aint nothing going to slow me down this christmas Ill be home
Ill be home with bells on

Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas Ill be home with bells on

The Bells Of Christmas
Imagine a boy
Kneeling by the window
Lookin out across the driveway at the rain
Will it always rain
I remember the bells
Comin from the churchyard
And I thought they played their music just for me
And day by day
The rain turned to snow
I dont hear them anymore
The bells of christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What christmas really means
So light a candle
That every man may see
The world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
Well ring the bells of christmas
Once again
There was a girl
Lived around the corner
With eyes as black as marys must have been
I wonder
Does she miss her friend
I remember the day
All the bells were ringing
As I watched her cross the churchyard in the snow
And all my searching
For all I lack
Is just trying to get that feeling back
The bells of christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What christmas really means
So light a candle
That every man may see
A world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
Well ring the bells of christmas once again
The future of the world, they say
Is in the childrens hands
Perhaps if we could let them lead
Wed come to understand
The bells of christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What christmas really means
So light a candle that every man may see
Like the one we knew back when and
Well ring the bells of christmas once again
Well ring the bells of christmas once again

Homecoming Christmas
Written by ronnie rogers
A glowin fire and fallin snow, they spark a memory
Stockings hangin, mistletoe, presents beneath a tree
A happy boy wakin up to toys, lookin so surprised
And wondering how santa knew just when I closed my eyes
Chorus:
Its a homecoming christmas, goin back to where it all began
Homecoming christmas, I wanna be there once again
Memories do sweet and strong and Ive been done too long
Its christmas time and Im comin home
I can see the christmas tree and feel the warm fireplace
Handmade decorations, homemade pies and cakes
Family all together with so much love to share
A special time and I cant wait, cant wait to be there

Silver Bells
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there? a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev?y street corner you?l hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It? Christmas times in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
Home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This Santas? big scene
And above all this bustle you?l hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It? Christmas times in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

With the answers to the prayers that you made through the year

The best and the merriest you ever did have

Christmas Comes
Christmas comes with children singing,
Christmas comes with sleigh bells ringing,
Christmas comes with frosty nights,
Christmas comes with snowball fights.
Christmas comes with Santa Claus,
Christmas comes with snowy floors,
Christmas comes with robins and reindeer,
Chsitmas comes with a hearty cheer.
Christmas comes with gold, frankincense and myrrh,
Christmas comes with Jesus' birth,
Christmas comes with angels from afar,
Christmas comes with a wondrous star.
Christmas comes now, at last,
Christmas comes, like in the past,
Christmas comes after such a long wait,
Christmas comes and it will be great.
