A1. Santa Claus Is Back In Town
(Leiber / Stoller)

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas)
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is fallin' on the ground (Christmas, Christmas)
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is fallin' down (Christmas, Christmas)
Well you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas)
Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Caddilac
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is fallin' on the ground (Christmas, Christmas)
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas)
(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas)

Hang up your pretty stockings
Turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is fallin' on the ground (Christmas, Christmas)
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas



A2. White Christmas
(Irving Berlin)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where those tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
May your days may your days may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.



A3. Here comes Santa Claus(RIGHT DOWN SANTA CLAUS LANE)
(Autry / Haldeman)

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing,
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Riding down Santa Claus Lane.

He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed and cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.

He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy,
For he loves you just the same.
Santa knows that we're God's children,
That makes everything right.
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Well, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.

He'll come around when the chimes ring out
It's Christmas morn again.
Peace on Earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
Let's give thanks to the Lord above,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.



A4. I'll be home for Cristmas
(Al Kent / Don Gannon)

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas, oh hoh hoh yes
If only in my dreams.

(I'll be home for Christmas.)

I'll Be Home On Christmas Day
(Jarrett)

From the hills of Georgia
Across the plains of Tennessee
I've seen and I've done most ev'rything
That a man can do or see

But if I could only borrow
One dream from yesterday
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day

It's been so many times before
She left that candle burning
And oh too many tears that fell
My soul filled with yearning

If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'll be home on Christmas Day

Every time I think about her
All the love I left behind
Memories still linger
Within my troubled mind

If I could set aside my pride
Then I'd be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day

If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day

I said I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day, yeah



A5. Blue christmas
(Hayes / Johnson)

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when those blue hearaches start hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Ohhh I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas



A6. Santa Bring My Baby Back To Me
(Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller)

(Santa bring my baby back to me)
(Santa bring my baby back to me)

I don't need a lot of presents
To make my Christmas bright
I just need my baby's arms
Wound around me tight
Oh Santa hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
(Santa bring my baby back to me)

The Christmas tree is ready
The candles all aglow
But with my baby far away
What good is mistletoe
Oh oh Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
(Santa bring my baby back to me)

Please make these reindeer hurry
Well the time is drawin' near
It sure won't seem like Christmas
Unless my baby's here
Oh don't you fill my sock with candy
No bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
(Santa bring my baby back to me)

Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me



B1. O'little town of Bethlehem
(arranged Elvis Presley)

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wond'ring love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim Thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.



B2. Silent night
(Mohr / Gruber)

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 streams from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing alleluia.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.



B3. (There will be) Peace In The Valley (for me)
(Thomas A. Dorsey)

Well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go along
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

(There will be peace in the valley for me, some day)
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
)There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the Lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes



B4. I Believe
(Erwin Drake / Irvin Graham / Jimmy Shirl / Al Stillman)

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears ev'ry word

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe



B5. Take My Hand Precious Lord
(Thomas A. Dorsey)

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak and worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home



B6. It is no secret
(Stuart Hamblin)

The chimes of time ring out the news,
Another day is through.
Someone slipped and fell.
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength,
Your courage to renew.
Do not be disheartened,
For I have news for you.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone.
Always feel at home,
Wherever you may roam.

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side.
Take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.
