today is christmas day with presents by the score
lots of christmas wrapping spread across the floor
children with there smile as wide as wide can be
saying to each other look what santa brought for me

lots of sweets and chocolates they just love to eat
hanging in a stocking for there christmas treat
family gather round for there turkey roast
with a glass of wine to make there christmas toast

all the children happy as they play away
having lot of on there christmas day

just a picture that hangs in the hall
just hanging there on the wall
i gaze at that pictur day after day
and you never change in any way

then that picture seems to make smile
i stare and cry for a while
then im left feeling blue
with that  picture of you
you never change in anyway

then that picture preys on mind
brings memories of the lonesome kind
then my visions fade away
leaves my life a lonely day
and you never change in any way
no you you never change in anyway

theres an angel in my house upon my christmas tree
beneath the christmas lights i see her watching me
with her big blue eyes and her angel smile
i sit there and gaze and watch her for awhile

such a lovely feeling that she gives to me
although she just angel on my christmas tree
when i go to sleep  i dream that she is there
there inside my dream flying every where

santa had a mishap on a christmas night
climbing down a chimney while the fire was alight
santa singed his beard and his long white hair
he called out for help not a soul was there

santa being santa he just carried on
even though  his beard and hair had partly gone
he still had his presents in his santa sack
and beneath the tree put them in  a stack

santa left a note saying he had been
and the fire hazard santa never seen
from that moment on santa used the door
as fars as chimneys go never went down them any more

christmas it goes back to many years a go
it started with a star giving off a glow
there were three wise men following the star
in the sky above shining from afar

they had heard a story of a child who would be king
and  to all mankind love and peace would bring
they travelled through the night with the star above
find the child they heard of that would fill the world with love

there lying in stable a tiny baby lay
he was fast asleep lying in the hay
they had found the saviour who gave us christmas day
born in bethlehem many miles away

thats how christmas started or so the story goes
a story that we believe in that everybody knows

when the snow is falling it looks really nice
then when you go outside its as cold as ice
everthing around you is just a sheet of white
spreading all around lighting up the night

christmas trees stand tall reaching for the sky
catching all the snow flakes as they go falling by  
everything so peaceful tranquil as can be
that time of the year we all like to see

christmas time for all time for us to share
time for giving love each and everywhere
makes the world we live in seem a better place
fill of happiness a world we all can face

i was just a country boy in memphis tenessee
where i was born and raised home sweet home to me
working  night and day in a country bar
singing country songs playing my guitar

try to earn a dollar so that i could pay
for an hotel room somewhere i could stay
didnt have much money just a song or two
me and guitar that help to get me through

singing to the folk with a country song
try to earn a dollar try get along
working day and night my guitar and me
in the place where i was raised in memphis tennesee

love can lead you on steal your heart away
heartbreak and tears is the price you pay
all your skies turn when your skies were blue
love that you once had stole away from you

everything empty lonely and so bare
gone now has the love that was once there
time will heal the pain. restore your heart once more
you can learn to love a again just like you did before

sang a song in san quentin along side johnny cash
we played a song together at prison christmas bash
got the whole jail rocking when we began to play
singing johnnys songs they danced the night away

they began to clap when he sang his prison song
song about sanquetin they all sang along
having such a ball at the christmas bash
danced the night away to the songs of johnny cash

made me so proud that i was there that day
along side  johnny cash we began to play
dancing all night long on the prison floor
having such a ball shouting ot for more

if we had christmas everyday how nice the world would be
we  would be so happy the world would feel so free  
nothing else but happiness every single day
troubles and the worries would seem so far away

children would be happy playing on there sleigh
happy and content with nothing else but play
happiness and joy every single day
wouldnt it be nice for the world to be this way

i had a dream of angels flying way up high
in there home in heaven high up in the sky
with there big white wings lighting up the night
each one had an halo and a gown of white

they sang an angel song with a lovely melody
playing on there harps they sang a song to me
everthing so peaceful gentle and so calm
quiet and so still filled with so much charm

i wont forget my dream of the angels in the sky
when i get my wings to them i will fly
i know i will be safe with a life thats free
once again the angels will sing there song to me

i took a trip to lapland to visit santa claus
to his great big grotto with great big wooden doors
watch him stack his toys on his wooden sleigh
in his home in lapland so very far away

i looked through the window santa he was there
lots and lots of toys stacked up everywhere
he got a great big sack filled it up with the toys
lots of christmas presents for all the girls and boys

now i believe in santa and all that i have seen
and a santa claus there as always been
now when christmas comes he will visit me
i know that he his real i have been to see

my friend she has a dog it not very old
it his rather odd shivers when its cold
he as litttle legs so he cant get away
even in a draught he will shake all day

she should buy a jumper and little hat
that should fix the problem put a stop to that
put him in room that as no draught at all
leave his jumper on then of to sleep will fall

put a blanket on him to warm his little feet
his shivering will stop now he has some heat

jingle bells jingle bells santa lost away
he had been out drinking on the drink all day
couldnt see his way cause it eyes were blurred
wobbly on his feet and his speech was slurred

santa got arrested locked up for the night
he was drunk and driving serverd poor santa right
in the morning he was sober  police gave him back his sliegh
he was just hungover and continued on his way
hoping he would make it with presents christmas day

santa came to see me on a christmas night
stood there at the door with his beard long and white
invited him inside made cup of tea
he sat by the fire sat right next to me

then the dog came in jumped on santa claus
scratching poor santa with his big long paws
dog was just excited with santa sitting there
with his big white beard and his long white hair

he had only called  with the last present on his sleigh
it was the doggy bone to chew on christmas day
next time santa comes i will lock the dog away
in case with santa claus he decides to play

when you fall in love you give your heart and soul
with a love thats true with a love thats whole
spend your life together with lots of love to share
with each beat of your heart love is always there

never let it die or ever fade away
love it is for real in your heart must stay
share it everyday thats what love is for
then each and everyday love grows even more

make it last for ever make it always true
keep the love you have.  there inside of you
for ever and for always you will always be
in love for evermore for eternity

last night as i lay dreaming i saw angel fly
in heaven up above flying way up high
with her big white wings flying wild and free
the angel in my dream i could clearly see

then she took my hand  began take her flight
flew away with me deep in the night
took me to her heaven many miles away
way up high above where the angels stay

then when i woke i remember what i saw
hoping that my dream will return again once more
then i can fly again to her land of love
flying side by side to heaven up above

i fell in love with you when you looked at me
the love light in your eyes i could plainly see
you took my breath away set my spirit free
i new from that moment we were meant to be

with you eyes so blue the smile up on your face
you took the heart in me to a dfferent place
when you held my hand i just love you more
such a lovely feeling i never felt before

the girl in my dreams waiting there for me
i knew when i saw you we were meant to be
you took my heart away set my spirit free
i will love you always and eternally

is there really santa his he really there
does he deliver presents to children everywhere
does he have a beard that is long and white
climbing down the chimney on a christmas night

are there really reindeers pulling santas sleigh
do we really know can we really say
is it just a legend from many years ago
is  he really there will we ever know

maybe we should believe  in the fantasy
let him stay a legend a part of history
children think theres santa.  let them stay that way
then they will get there presents every christmas day

love can be a fantasy in some far off land
golden stars and rainbows mile and miles of sand
a place of happines just like love can bring
it can fill your heart and bring you everything

a fantasy come true a place to call your own
a land so far away that you have never known
lots and lots of things you never saw before
like your love inside each day it grows more

happy ever after you will always be
each and everyday in loves fantasy
a fairy tale come true for eternity
when  you fall in love it will last eternally

rudolph the little reindeer could not pull his sleigh
poor chap caught covid and locked himself away
into isolation away from all the rest
for all the other reindeers thought it would be the best

santa got the doctor he came right away
told him in his stable little rudolph he must stay
rudolph he got better in a day or two
worry it was over he only had the flu

now rudolph he his happy that he could pull his sleigh
ready for the children to open christmas day
rudolph had his jab case  covid came his away
and inside his stable he wouldnt have to stay

we must save the world from the global curse
planet it is changing each day getting worse
weather is confused icebergs on the melt
all around the universe.  global warming it is felt

rivers they are flooding causing such distress
we must save the planet  stop the global mess
do the best we can before its far to late
the planet that we live on will turn in to our fate

animals will suffer no where they can stay
flooding will get worse washing them away
we must do our best  to help the world restore
then the planet that we love will be safe once more

if there was only peace how nice the world would be
the world  would be a better place for every you and me
no more wars to fight we could live as one
nothing else but love  violence would be gone

it would be like christmas every single day
peace on earth once more troubles far away
peace for every one each and every race
no matter what the color each other we could face

just a world of love for each and everyone
from a world of violence we could all move on
a world that we could share leave the past behind
only peace on earth would we ever find

i took a trip to paradise and as  i walked along
i heard a little  bluebird sing a lovely song
a lovely melody as gentle as can  be  
singing loud and clear singing it to me

walked a little further there up in a tree
i saw a squirrel playing as happy as can be
jumping branch to branch with his bushy tale
high up in the air he would gently sail

such a lovely day i had in paradise
everything so beautful and very very nice
i wont forget  my day and everything i saw
return again to paradise to see it all once more

love was just a game that you played with me
i was just a name in your history
played me like a fool i fell for it all
just a memory that you can recall

a joker in the pack that you threw away
just another game with someone there to play
thought your love was real that it was meant to be
you just played around made a fool of me

i never saw it coming couldnt read your mind
just someone you knew that you left behind
there to play your game at your beck and call
all it was to you was the winner takes it all

i love the christmas feeling spreading all around
as the snowflakes fall gently to the ground
sound of church bells ringing with there christmas cheer
christmas time once more christmas time is here

lights around the window lighting up the night
making christmas merry as they shine so bright
lots of happy children playing in the snow
happy as can be with there hearts a glow

opening there presents beneath the christmas tree
happy and content for all the world to see
time for celebration for friends and family
a lovely time of year when all the world feels free

christmas time is here lets sing a christmas song
sing it all together lets all dance along
get the party started  time for chrstmas fun
lets celebrate together christmas has begun

let the music play with the songs we know
steal a kiss or two beneath the mistletoe
let the music play to a christmas song
christmas time is here lets all dance along

get the party started let the music play
celebrate  together dance the night away
to a christmas song that everyone will know
sing along together let the party flow

when a scotsman wore a kilt myth was truly born
they say underneath nothing else is worn
it must really awkward on winters night
when the frosts about and it begins to bite

we may never know if under pants are worn
or if he is just the same as the day that he was born
so we keep on guessing is it true or not
is there nothing underneath.   just showing of the lot

is there nothing underneath is it all on show
is just a myth will we ever know

i hear sleigh bells ringin when i go to bed
ringing loud and clear there inside my head
ringing out for christmas ding a ling a ling
a lovely christmas tune  that make the whole world sing

when i close my santa he his there
i can hear his sleigh bells ringing everywhere
ding a ling ding a ling ding a ling a ling
every one  joins in as they begin to sing

ringing out for christmas a happy christmas tune
ringing all in unison that makes you want to croon
to the christmas sound that make you wanna sing
ding a ling ding a ling ding a ling a ling

daddy walked away didnt love mamma anymore
packed up a all his things walked on out the door
she was left to raise me.  now my daddys gone
now theres me and mamma who have to carry on

did the  best she could to raise and bring up me
she was everything that a mamma should be
didnt have much money going it got rough
mamma still got by mamma she was tough

taught me right from wrong made a man of me
she had raised me up from the age of three
never saw my dad since he walked out the door
when he told he told my mamma he never loved any more

im so proud of mamma brought me up alone
from the age three she raised me on her own
best mamma in the world there could ever be
taught me right from wrong made  a man of me

when im here alone the teardrops start to fall
i sit missing you  the good times i recall
things we did together when im our love was new
and behind these four walls im crying over you

i remember when we met in memhis tennesee
we were in a bar you came and danced with me
dancing cheek to cheek to a country song
with your arms around we danced all night long

all these thoughts are there deep inside my mind
and the love we shared now so far behind
you  just walked away for some body new
all i have are memories when there was me and you

when im hear alone the teardrops start to fall
i sit missing you  the good times i recall
things we did together when our love was new
behind these four walls im crying over you

didnt take me long to fall in love with you
with your long blonde hair and your eyes blue
when i saw your smile i drifted in to space
you sent the soul in me to a different place

when you held my hand  my heart it skipped a beat
such a lovey feeling knocked me of my feet
i knew you were the girl ive been looking for
each and every day i just love you more

i want to be with your for the rest of my life
settle down get married  with you there as my wife
raise a family how happy i would be
you and i together with a family

i have a little dog means the world to me
and at christmas time he fills my heart with glee
loves watch the lights on the christmas tree
sitting there for hours as a happy as can be

i buy a little present put on a label to
a  christmas doggy bone he  just loves to chew
and a little ball so he can have a play
laid beneath the tree to open christmas day

he his my best friend and i love him so
when christmas come around gives my heart a glow
with his little smile that he gives to me
best friend in the world there could ever be

santa claus and angels is what we always see
baubles and the bangles on a christmas tree
lots of christmas stocking hanging there to fill
all a part of christmas to give it such a thrill

children with there presents for everyone to see
happy and content full of chriistmas glee
these are all the things that makes christmas all worthwhile
a special time of year that makes the whole world smile

i remember when we met thought we were meant to be
you were every thing you were my world to me
things  began to change love began fade
you and i together were really never made

love was just a lie that you told to me
behind the mask you wore i just didnt see
i was just a game there for you to play
you just lead me on then you walked away

made a fool of me  broke my heart in two
you were someone else not the girl i knew
never really loved me from the very start
took away my world played round with my heart

mama was a country girl loved to play guitar
singing country songs in a country bar
sing a song to me when i was just a kid
i remembered all the song that my mamma did

bought my first guitar taught me how to play
hoping maybe  i could be like her someday
singing country songs like my mamma did
sing the songs she taught me when i was just a kid

singing in a bar with mamma watching me
to be as good as mamma is what i want to be
singing all night long in country bar
hoping maybe one day be a coumtry star

think of all your loved ones on a christmas day
watching down on you from so far away
up there with the angels watching over you
in heaven up above in the sky so blue

tell them how you miss them in your christmas prayer
just how much you love them wishing they were there
light a christmas candle as a memory
when they were there with you how it used to be

driving home for christmas been away to long
home again to you back where i belong
missing you oh so much since ive been away
ive been thinking of you every single day

wont be to long now till im at the door
put my arms around you  home again once more
beneath the mistletoe steal a kiss or two
wont be to long now till im home with you

home again once more back where i belong
missing you oh so much been away to long
back into your arms something i long for
home again for christmas with you again once more

when a body dies the soul begins to rise
to heaven up above gently as it flies
spreading out its wings pure and so white
to the angels up above as they take there flight

no more pain to bare that has come to cease
now you can live again in a world of peace
to a land of love where the angels stay
there to care for you every single day

now your safe for ever and your life is free
no more pain to suffering will there ever be
just a world of love with angels everywhere
in heaven up above to give you love and care

christmas wont be the same.  without you anymore
not like it used to be all the years before
no more christmas presents beneath the christmas tree
it wont be the same now theres only me

no one there to kiss beneath the mistletoe
why did you have to leave why did you have to go
i miss you by me side on a christmas day
all those day are gone now so far away

i miss you oh so much dont know what to do
christmas will be lonely now i dont have you
all the love we had that we used to share
just a lonely christmas now that your not there

if you believe in santa your wishes will come true
santa he is waiting with presents just for you
if your really good santa he will know
on his way to you riding through the snow

bringing lots of present stacked up on his sleigh
ready there for you to open christmas day
through the bedroom window he will softly creep
putting  presents  in your stockings while your fast a sleep

then off he goes again to the house next door
to do the same again as he did before
if you believe in santa he is there for you
there to grant your wishes make them all come true

think about the story how christmas came to be
the baby in a manger for all the world to see
how he would grow up teach the world to live
peace on earth for everyone is what he had to give

fill the world with love  teach us right from wrong
bring us all together teach us to be strong
how he gave his life so we could be free
how he saved the world for all humanity

think about the story how christmas came to be
the man who gave his life so we could be free
give us christmas time for the world to share
so  his story could be told each and every where

there was a little snowman he loved the children so
he would play all day with the children in the snow
wore a little hat  and a long scarf to
when the children played he would join in to

he made the children happy filled there hearts with glee
best in friend in the world there could ever be
