Happy
Xmas (War Is Over)
So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear
one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good
one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas (war
is over)
For weak and for strong
(if you want it)
For rich and the poor
ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong
(if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war
is over)
For black and for white
(if you want it)
For yellow and red ones
(war is over)
Let's stop all the fight
(now)
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good
one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas (war
is over)
And what have we done
(if you want it)
Another year over (war
is over)
A new one just begun
(if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war
is over)
We hope you have fun
(if you want it)
The near and the dear
one (war is over)
The old and the young
(now)
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good
one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want
it
War is over now
Happy Xmas
River
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down
trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of
joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot
of money
Then I'm going to quit
this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river
so long
I would teach my feet
to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help
me
You know, he put me at
ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost
the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river
so long
I would teach my feet
to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down
trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of
joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Sarah McLachlan
- Silent Night
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
Sarah McLachlan
- Song For A Winter's Night
(Gordon Lightfoot)
The lamp is burnin' low
upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within
the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly
callin'
If I could only have you
near
To breathe a sigh or
two
I would be happy just
to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night
with you
The smoke is rising in
the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between
the lines upon the page
The words of love you
sent me
If I could know within
my heart
That you were lonely
too
I would be happy just
to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night
with you
The fire is dying now,
my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are
liftin'
The mornin' light steals
across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are
driftin'
If I could only have you
near
To breathe a sigh or
two
I would be happy just
to hold the hands I love
And to be once again
with with you
To be once again with
with you

What
Child Is This? (Greensleeves)
What child is this, who,
laid 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 laud,
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.
Raise, raise the song
on high,
The Virgin sings her
lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ
is born,
The Babe, the Son of
Mary!
Wintersong
The lake is frozen over
The trees are white with
snow
And all around reminders
of you
Are everywhere I go
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's late and morning's
in no hurry
But sleep won't set me
free
I lie awake and try to
recall
How your body felt beside
me
When silence gets too
hard to handle
And the night too long
And this is how I see
you
In the snow on Christmas
morning
Love and happiness surround
you
As you throw your arms
up to the sky
I keep this moment by
and by
Oh how I miss you now,
my love
Marry Christmas marry
Christmas marry Christmas, my love
A sense of joy fills the
air
And I daydream and I
stare
Above the tree and I
see
Your star up there
And this is how I see
you
In the snow on Christmas
morning
Love and happiness surround
you
As you throw your arms
up to the sky
I keep this moment by
and by
Sarah McLachlan
- I'll Be Home For Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count 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
If only in my dreams
Sarah McLachlan
- O Little Town Of Bethlehem
O 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 wondering
love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God
the King
And Peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is
given!
So God imparts to human
hearts
The blessings of His
heaven.
No ear may his His coming,
But in this world of
sin,
Where meek souls will
receive him still,
The dear Christ enters
in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and
enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas
angels
The great glad tidings
tell
O come to us, abide with
us
Our Lord Emmanuel
Sarah McLachlan
- The First Noel/Mary Mary
The First Noel, the Angels
did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay
In fields where they
lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw
a star
Shining in the East beyond
them far
And to the earth it gave
great light
And so it continued both
day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that
same star
Three Wise men came from
country far
To seek for a King was
their intent
And to follow the star
wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to
the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took
its rest
And there it did both
Pause and stay
Right o'er the place
where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those
Wise men three
Full reverently upon
their knee
And offered there in
His presence
Their gold and myrrh
and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one
accord
Sing praises to our heavenly
Lord
That hath made Heaven
and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind
has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
