Don't be discouraged
Don't be dismayed
There's hope for all in this world
'Cause this is Christmas day
[Pre-Chorus]
Say a little prayer for the world
God teach us love
Though you think He doesn't hear
I know he does
[Chorus]
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let us all begin to heal
Hallejuah, this is Christmas
And with love we can begin today
[Verse 2]
Christmas bells ring
People's heart sing
I forget about all the troubles I seem to have
Tell myself to feel how my brother feels
Try to love'em and maybe then I could understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Make a little room in our hearts
No heart's to small
Can love each other today?
'Cause after all...
[Chorus]
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let us all begin to heal
Hallejuah, this is Christmas
And with love we can begin today
[Bridge]
Come, come, come see the little one
Come, come, come see the little one
Come see the baby
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh ooh ooh ooh, come...)
Come see the baby
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh ooh ooh ooh, you know, you know...)
[Chorus]
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let us all begin to heal
Hallejuah, this is Christmas
And with love we can begin today
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let us all begin to heal
Hallejuah, this is Christmas
And with love we can begin today
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let us all begin to heal
Hallejuah, this is Christmas
And with love we can begin today
This is Christmas
The Isley Brothers
Yeah
Well, well, well
Yeah, hey
Yeah
Hey, hey
Oh
Driftin' on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, yeah
Lovin' you, well, well, well
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candlelight
And a song, yeah
Soft and long, well, ooh
Glad to be
Here, alone, with a lover unlike no other
Sad to see
A new horizon slowly comin' into view, yeah
I wanna be livin'
For the love of you, oh, yes, I am
All that I'm givin'
Is for the love of you, alright now, oh
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the mornin' comes
Feels good to me, yeah
My love and me, well
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowin' through my mind with ease
Soft as can be, well
When you're lovin' me, when you're lovin' me, oh
Love to be
Ridin' the waves of your love, enchanted with your touch
And it seems to me
We could sail together in and out of mystery, well
I wanna be livin'
For the love of you, alright now
All that I'm givin'
Is for the love of you; you got me, girl
I wanna be livin'
For the love of you, alright now
All that I'm givin', givin'
Is for the love of you, oh, yes, I am
Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key, well
And this I see, for I see
Now and then I lose my way
Usin' words that try to say
What I feel, yeah
Love is real, oh, love is real, oh
I might as well
Sign my name on a card, which could say it better
Time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do
I know that I'm livin'
For the love of you, oh, yes, I am
I know that I'm livin'
For the love, love of you
Every, every day I'm livin'
For love of you
I'm livin' for the love
Each and every day
I'm, oh, whoa, I'm, oh, yes, I am
I wanna say it one more time
Said I'm livin'
For the love
Each and every day I'm, oh, whoa, I'm
Lord knows I am
Write that down
Said that I'm livin'
For the love, love of you
Oh, oh

For the Love of You lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, BMG Rights Management
You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Ohh, I've been loving you too long
I don't wanna stop now
With you my life has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
You are tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair, affair grows old
I've been loving you oh, too long
I don't want to stop now, ohh, ohh, ohh
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, ohh, ohh, ohh
And don't make me stop now
Oh baby
I'm down on my knees
Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you, I love you with all my heart
And I can't stop now
Please, please, please don't make me stop now
Talkin' 'bout heart and soul
That I love you
I love you
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
There's been so many things that's held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around
I know we've got, a long long way to go
And where we'll end up, I don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're putting our selves together
We're polishing up our act!
If you felt we've been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
I know you know someone that has a negative vow
And if you're trying to make it they only push you aside
They really don't have, no where to go
Ask them where they're going, they don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're gonna put our selves together
We're gonna polish up our act!
And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

It's just me and you
I feel so lost
Cause I don't know what to do
Now what if choose the wrong thing to do
I'm so afraid, afraid of disappointing you
So I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my world seems cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart
My hopes and dreams
Are fading fast
I'm all burned out
And I don't think my strengths gonna last
So I'm crying out
Crying out to you
Lord I know that you're the only one
Who is able to pull me through
So I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my world seems cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart
So show me how
To do things your way
Don't let me make the same mistakes
Over and over again
Your will be done
And I'll be the one
To make sure the it's carried out
And in me, I don't want any doubt
That's why
I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my life is a little bit cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart
All I need to do
Is hear a single word from you
I open up my heart
Just one word could make
A difference in what I do Lord
I open my heart to you
You're the lover of my soul
Captain of my sea
I need a word from you
That's why I open up my heart

Open My Heart lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
Every time I speak your name (that's funny)
You say that you are so helpless too
That you don't know what to do
Each night I pray there will never come a day
When you up and take your love away
Say you feel the same way too and I wonder what
It is I feel for you
Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (ooh)
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you, with you with you, with you
I don't need all those things that used to bring me joy
You made me such a happy boy
And honey you'll always be the only one for me
Meeting you was my destiny
You can be sure I will never let you down
When you need me I will be around
And darling you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially
Could it be I'm falling in love

We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain.
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain.
We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day,
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring.
"We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day.
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so eas'ly called away."
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,

Uh-uh -
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
Admiral Halsey notified me,
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea.
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie.
"Butter pie?"
"The butter wouldn't melt, so I put it in the pie, alright!"
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some mad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
'Cause we we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love, you wanted nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
Your a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We we're alone and I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
Your a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We we're alone and I was singing this song to you
We we're alone and I was singing this song to you

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now,
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers ...
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers ...
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers ...
"Because the Night" is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith that was first released in 1978 as a single off the Patti Smith Group album Easter. It rose to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as number five in the United Kingdom, and helped propel sales of Easter to mainstream success—even as Smith was deciding to retire from a life of constant touring. In 1987, the song was ranked number 116 on NME magazine's list of "The Top 150 Singles of All Time".[1] It remains one of the best-known songs of Smith's catalog
LYRICS:
"Year Of The Cat"
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, "I feel my life
Just like a river running through"
The year of the cat
Why she looks at you so coolly?
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
Year of the cat
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain I gaze
The sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls runnin' through my mind
In the garden, I see
West purple shower bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins
Dressed in green
Pretty music I hear
So happy and loud
Blue flowers echo
From a cherry cloud
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
If you try to ask, "is it cool"
"Is it cool"
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
I'm free flying in her arms
Over the sea
Stained window yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite
With velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
A present from you
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays I sit in for a few
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, aaaaaaah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, aaaaaaah)
A present from you
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays
I sit in for a few
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh).....
"Strawberry Letter 23" is a song written by Shuggie Otis, and best known by the version recorded by The Brothers Johnson.
It is said that Otis wrote the song for a girlfriend who used strawberry-scented paper when she wrote letters to him, but Otis himself says that it's not true. He recorded it for his 1971 album Freedom Flight.
George Johnson of the Brothers Johnson was dating one of Otis' cousins when he came across the album Freedom Flight. The group recorded "Strawberry Letter 23" for their 1977 album Right on Time, which was produced by Quincy Jones, and the album went platinum. They recorded the song in a funkier, more dance-oriented vein than the original Otis version. Their rendition hit the Hot 100 and peaked at number five and reached number one on the Soul Singles chart in 1977.[1] Studio guitar player Lee Ritenour recreated Otis' original guitar solo for the Brothers Johnson cover. The 12" single was pressed on red strawberry-scented vinyl.
Album: Look Out For #1
Released: 1976
Nominations: Grammy Award for Best R&B Song, Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video
Lyrics: I'll Be Good To You
I want to know
Just how you feel
Said-a I want to know
If what you feel is real
'Cause there is a reason, yeah
For the things that I say
I want to love you, girl
In a special way
We've been together
For so very long
I would hate to break up
Break up our happy home
The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Of all these things there lies a tie
Makes me feel that it's worth a try
I'll be good to you
[Chorus:]
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you
'Cause there is a reason
For the things that I say
I wanna love you, girl
In a special way
We've been together
For so very long
I would hate to break up
Break up our happy home
Take a step now, and let me know how
All of your ways, girl
And all your know-hows
I'll be good to you
[Chorus 5x]
Look for the light if you're lost in the night
I'll write your name on my door
If you ever need warmth and comfort
Darling, I'll be here to hold you near
I heard your name 'cause you'll be my security
Love is a house, you got the key
(Oh, to take me where I wanna be)
Open up and let me into your heart, baby
(Ooh, just look and you'll see)
(Love is a house and you got the key)
Open up and let me into your heart, baby
Look in my eyes, there'll be no surprise
You'll find the window to love
And I'll do anything in my power
To welcome you and please you too
But deep in my heart
(Deep in my heart)
I know you're the one for me
Love is a house, you got the key

When the night meets the morning
I'll hear you calling my name
And baby, you know if I answer
Things will never be the same
(Never be the same)
But deep in my heart I know that you're the number one for me
Love is a house, you got the key
(Woo, baby, take me where I wanna be)
Open up and let me into your heart
(Ooh)

I can think of younger days when to live for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow
How can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down? (tell me)
How can you stop that old sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man? (yeah)
How can a loser ever win?
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one
No one ever told us about the sorrow (so)
How can you mend a broken heart? (and mine is)
How can you stop the rain from falling down? (baby)
How can you stop that old sun from shining?
What makes the world go round? (and sometime I have to say, yeah)
(Tell me)
Help me mend my broken heart
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna live again, baby
How can you mend this broken man? (yeah, somebody tell me)
How can a loser ever win? (baby)
Help me mend my... This old broken heart
I think I, I believe I
I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again
How can you mend this broken heart? (somebody please tell me)
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
(I wanna know. I know my my clothes are all wet, tell me)
How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart
I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live
Ooo
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, you're such a lucky guy.
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true.
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to me.
But it was just my 'magination, running away with me.
It was just my 'magination, running away with me.
(Soon) Soon we'll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all. This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems.
But it was just my 'magination, once again.
Running away with me.
Tell you it was just my 'magination,
Running away with me.
[Paul:] Every night on my knees I pray.
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take her love from me.
Or I will surely die. Hmm
(Her love is) heavenly.
When her arms enfold me.
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality, she doesn't even know me.
Just my 'magination, once again.
Running away with me.
Oh, tell you it was just my 'magination,
Running away with me.
I never met her but I can't forget her.
Just my 'magination,
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Running away with me.
Ooo, just my 'magination running away with me.
She's in my mind and hard to find.
Just my 'magination...
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child, holy
Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing
Alleluia.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from
Thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Silent night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A 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,

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 the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum 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 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.
Little Drummer Boy – lyrics
