Lonestar Album

(J. Fred Coots/Haven Gillespie)

You better watch out 
You better not cry 
You better not pout 
I'm telling you why 
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming to town 

He's making a list, 
Checking it twice; 
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice. 
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming to town 

He sees you when you're sleeping 
He knows when you're awake 
He knows if you've been bad or good 
So be good for goodness sake 

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming to town 

He sees you when you're sleeping 
He knows when you're awake 
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake 
Goodness sake 

You better watch out 
You better not cry 
You better not pout 
I'm telling you why 
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming to town 
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town 

(Coming to town)
Santa's a busy man he has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
(Santa Claus is coming to town)
(Coming to town)
(Santa Claus is coming to town)

(Charles Brown/Gene Redd)

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad 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, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
For this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, I'll be happy, once again

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain

(Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin)

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

Here were are 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.

Here were are 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 

(Gary Baker/Frank J. Myers/Anthony Little)

Christmas lights up the city
Roof tops covered in snow
Lovers sharing a sleigh ride cuddled close
And their eyes seem to glow

Window shopping on main street
Bundled up head to toe
Children are skating around a Christmas tree
I see smiles young and old

If everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
If everyday could be Christmas

Chruch bells ring in the distance
Peace on earth fills the air
Sidewalk Santas handing out candy canes
I feel love everywhere

If everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
If everyday could be Christmas

Oh it's that time
We open and give from our hearts
Let love shine brighter than any star

Oh if everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
Oh if everyday could be Christmas
If everyday could be Christmas
Yeah if everyday could be Christmas

(Katherine Davis/Henry Onorati/Harry Simeone)

Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our new born King to see,
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too,
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum
On my drum.

Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Oh me and my drum.
Joy to the world
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.

(Traditional)

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, 
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 
Fall on your knees, 
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, 
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, 
O night, O night divine, 

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 
Fall on your knees, 
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, 
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, 
O night, O night divine, 

(Larry Boone/Richie McDonald/Paul Nelson)

The shepherds are lit
A star in the sky
On the outskirts of town
A new baby cries
No room at the end
No crib to be found
Oh but look at him now

He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season

It is a time for presents and toys
Tales of Saint Nick
Tidings of joy
As we celebrate the miracle birth
Oh right here on this earth

He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season

He's the reason for the giving
The joy thats never ending
That comes on Christmas morning in the eyes of a child
It's what it means to me and you
That's the true meaning of this time
Oh this time

He is the
He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day

He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day

(William C. Dix/16th Century English Melody)

What Child is this, who lays to rest, 
On Mary's lap is sleeping? 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping? 

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
Haste, haste to bring Him praise, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary. 

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh; 
Come, peasant king, to own Him. 
The King of Kings salvation brings; 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
Haste, haste to bring Him praise, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary. 

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
Haste, oh haste to bring Him praise, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary. 

(Felix Bernard/Dick Smith)

Sleigh bells ring 
Are you listening 
In the lane 
Snow is glistening 
A beautiful sight 
We're happy tonight 
Walking in a winter wonderland 

Gone away is the bluebird 
Here to stay is a new bird 
He sings a love song 
As we go along 
Walking in a winter wonderland 

In the meadow we can build a snowman 
Then pretend he is Parson Brown 
He'll say: Are you married? 
We'll say: No man 
But you can do the job 
When you're in town 

Later on 
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire 
To face unafraid 
The plans that we've made 
Walking in a winter wonderland 
Winter wonderland 

In the meadow we can build a snowman 
And pretend that he's a circus clown 
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down 

When it snows 
Ain't it thrilling 
Though your nose gets a chilling 
We'll frolic and play 
The Eskimo way 
Walking in a winter wonderland 
Yeah we're walking in a winter
Yeah we're walking in a winter
We're walking in a winter wonderland
Wonderland

(Mel Torme/Robert Wells)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

(Marv Green/Dean Sams)

Presents underneath the tree
Candles burning bright
Stockings hung with lots of care
On this silent Christmas night
What makes this season magical
Is what made my dream come true
Just seeing you
To be here with you

Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
This Christmas time

Some people hope for rings of gold
All that money buys
Children have their list of toys
Prayin' Santa gets it right
The one thing I wish for
Came true when you walked in
To hear you laugh again
To see you smile again

Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
Oh this Christmas time

Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
Sending you here tonight
