Barry Manilow Album

Chestnuts roasting on a 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 misteltoe
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 going to spy
too see if reindeer even know how to fly
and so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from 1 to 92
all though it's been said many times
many ways
Merry Christmas to you
and every mother's child is going to spy
too see if reindeer even know how to fly
and so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from 1 to 92
all though it's been said many times
many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

(Duet with Expose)

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh
over the fields we go
laughing all the way
bells on bop tails ring
making spirts bright
what fun it is to
ride a sleighing song tonight
Jingle Bells
Ji, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
ba la la la bop
Jingle Bells
Ji, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh
over the fields we go
laughing all the way
bells on bop tails ring
making spirts bright
what fun it is to
ride a sleighing song tonight
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh

Silent Night
(Instrumental)
I got evenings to spare
that nobody will share
I guess there ain't no Santa Clause
I don't flirt, I don't dance
cause I don't get a chance
I guess there ain't no Santa Clause
Jingle Bells
Wedding Bells
Ring so merely
but Jingle Bells
and Wedding Bells
never ring for me
like the clock on the shelf
I hold hands with myself
I guess there ain't no Santa Claus
I got wine, I got cheer
I got nobody here
I guess there ain't no Santa Claus
well they sure got it right
when they sing Silent Night
I guess there ain't no Santa Claus
lovers walk, holding hands
everywhere I go
ready, set, here I stand
'neath the mistle toe
sugarplums in my head
only me in my bed
I guess there ain't no Santa Claus
my dad and mother
told one another
they saw a future for me
but since I've grown up
I got to own up
It's not like they said it would be
lovers walk, holding hands
everywhere I go
ready, set, here I stand
'neath the mistle toe
sugarplums in my head
only me in my bed
I guess there ain't no Santa Claus
I guess there ain't no Santa Claus
I guess
guess there ain't no Santa Claus

(Instrumental)
In April weather
when the meadow was bloomin'
we walk together
to the top of the hill
upon the clover
when the meadow was bloomin'
we dreamed together
just us true lovers will
but summer flies on
far across the horizon
and winter lies on
over the valley and hills
do you remember
when the meadow was bloomin'
in bleak December
do you think of me still
but summer flies on
far across the horizon
and winter lies on
over the valley and hills
do you remember
when the meadow was bloomin'
in bleak December
do you think of me still
do you remember
just as I always will

Unto us a son is given
unto us a son is given
unto us a son is given
unto us a child is born
Tonight the stars shine for the children
and light the way for dreams to fly
tonight our love comes wrapped in ribbons
the world is right
and hopes are high
and from a dark
and frosted window
a child appears
to search the sky
because it's Christmas
because it's Christmas
tonight belongs to all the children
tonight their joy rings through the air
and so we send our tender blessings
to all the children everywhere
to see the smiles and hear the laughter
a time to give
a time to share
because it's Christmas
for now and forever
for all of the children
and for the children in us all
tonight belongs to all the children
tonight their joy rings through the air
and so we send our tender blessings
to all the children everywhere
to see the smiles and hear the laughter
a time to give
a time to share
because it's Christmas
for now and forever
for all of the children
and for the children in us all

(Talk)
Well honeybunch
it's been fun
but gotta run
oh sweetlips
stay a little while longer won't you
no it's very late baby
I really got to go
but look at the weather
you'll catch cold out there
and I would never forgive myself
oh you
come on just one more night cap
no I shouldn't
come on
(Sing)
No well
I really can't stay
but baby it's cold outside
I got to go away
but baby it's cold outside
this evening has been
and hoping that you drop in
so very nice
I'll hold your hands
there just like ice
my mother will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry
and father will be pacing the floor
listen to the fireplace roar
so really I better scurry
beautiful please don't go
well maybe just a half drink more
put some records on while I pour
the neighbors might think
but baby it's bad out there
say, what's in this drink
no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
your eyes are like stars tonight
to break this spell
I'll take your hat
your hair looks swell
I oughta say no no no sir
mind if I move in closer
at least I'm gonna say that I tried
what's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
baby don't hold on
ah but it's cold outside
(Talk)
well I must say
this couch is very comfortable
it's not a couch puddin' pop
it's a love seat
oh how you talk
oh Barry
I simply must go
(Sing)
but baby it's cold outside
the answer is no
but baby it's cold outside
the welcome has been
how lucky that you dropped in
so nice and warm
look out the window
at that storm
my sister will be suspicious
gosh your lips look good
my brother will be there at the door
like waves upon a tropical storm
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
gosh your lips are delicious
well maybe just a cigarrette more
never said your blues will be for
I've got to get home
but baby you'll freeze out there
say darling can you lend me your comb
it's up to your knees out there
you really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
but don't you see
how can you do this thing to me
there's bound to be talk tomorrow
think of my life long sorrow
at least there will be plenty in life
if you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
get over that hold out
ah but it's cold outside
(Talk)
Well I don't know
I don't got to go home
Hey look it's starting to snow
oh you arranged that didn't you?
see now you gotta stay
well, I guess I won't be able to find a cab
no cabs
and the buses they never run
they'll never run in snow like this
let me take your coat
well tomorrow is Sunday isn't it?
and I don't have to go to work
see isn't that better
and who knows how long it will keep snowing
it can snow for a long time, Kate
what are you doing?
well now yeah

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and chrilden listen
to hear sleybells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white cristmas
with every christmas card I write
may your days be marry and bright
and may all your christmas's be white

the bells of christmas
are ringing in the night
the children string there lights upond the tree
the bells of christmas
they sing to me tonight
bring back thoughts of you and me
Central Park
sliding round in the snow
and then after dark
filling the fires burning glow
the bells of christmas
they ring of what could be
for the bells of christmas
they ring for you and me
sunday walks watching ships in the bay
midnight talks we voul
we never let love slip away
the bells of christmas
they ring of what could be
for the bells of christmas
the bells of christmas
the bells of christmas
they ring for you and me

Have your self 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 yule tide gay
from now on our troubles will be miles away
here we are as in olden days
happy golden day of yours
faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more
through the years we all will be together
if the faiths allow
hang a shinning star
upond the highest bow
and have your self a merry little christmas now
the'll be near to us once more
through the years we all will be together
if the faiths allow
hang a shinning star
upond the highest bow
and have your self a merry little christmas now
a merry little christmas now

Don't look so sad,
It's not so bad you know.
It's just another night,
That's all it is.
It's not the first,
It's not the worst you know,
We've come through all the rest,
We'll get through this.
We've made mistakes,
But we've made good friends too.
Remember all the nights we spent with them?
And all our plans,
Who says they can't come true?
Tonight's another chance to start again.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Let's make it the best.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
It's just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we're through this New Year
You'll see, will be
Just fine.
We're not alone, we've got the world you know.
And it won't let us down, just wait and see.
And we'll grow old, but think how wise we'll grow.
There's more you know, it's only New Year's Eve.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Let's make it the best.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
It's just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we're through this New Year, you'll see, will be
Just fine.
