Don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause

Say you're in love, in love, with this guy
If not I'll just die
The Only Love I had
Venice
Once upon a time
A long time ago
I thought that I should leave you
I thought that you should go
I never really said goodbye
I never even heard you cry
And after all this time, it's hard to say
The only love I had, I sent away
Ah, but you were young
Younger than I knew
I hope you can forgive me
I was younger too
I really thought that I could see
What was best for you and me
Though after all this time, it's hard to say
'Cause the only love I had, I sent away
Sometimes as I lay here in the dark
I wonder where you're sleeping
If you think of me at all
Are you warm?
Are you happy where you are?
Do you sometimes feel like weeping
When the summers turn to fall?
Do you think of me at all?
And so I send this out
Wherever you may be
To tell you I still love you
You're still a part of me
And if you could ever find a way
I'll be hoping for the day
When you can smile at me and tell me it's okay
That the only love I had, I sent away

It's My Party
Lesley Gore
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Playin' my records, keep dancin' all night
Leave me alone for a while
'Till Johnny's dancin' with me
I've got no reason to smile
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.
(lead break)
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearin' his ring
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.

I Started A Joke
Bee Gees
I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finaly died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finaly died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me

Soothe Me
Vonda Shepard
Maybe I should wander
Through these streets a little longer
Hey New York City
Won't you welcome me back home?
And darling I love you
But I swear that I'll be gone
By the time you figure out what you want
Maybe I should wander
Through my solitude a little longer
Turn your head now sailor
Well I used to be so much stronger
How in the hell did I get here?
In this city so alone
Oh sometimes life seems so long
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice
If I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes
If I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection
If it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think I'm perfection
Unless you think I'm perfection
Maybe I should wander
Through these streets a little longer
Find my ruthless angel
That will carry me back home
Cause we all wanna go home
And we search for love our whole lives
I found a man who only wants to be alone
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice
If I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes
If I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection
If it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think I'm perfection
Unless you think I'm perfection
Maybe down the road who knows?
You'll get it together
With all your charm my hope grows
It's wonderful
But you're flirting only as a friend
You touch my heart
And promise everything
It'll be a mighty cold winter
Five million people
Couldn't one of them be you?
And darling I love you
But I swear that I'll be gone
By the time you figure out
What you want
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice
If I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes
If I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection
If it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think I'm perfection
Unless you think I'm perfection.
Jingle Bell Rock
Bobby Helms
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go ridin' in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle to a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock!
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go ridin' in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle to a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock!
The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)
The Chipmunks & David Seville
Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
Want a plane that loops the loop
I still want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
Short People
Randy Newman
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live.
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here.
Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love.
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here.
Let It Snow
Vaughn Monroe, Sammy Cahn, and J.Styne
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally kiss good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm!
Oh the fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing.
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
More Today Than Yesterday
Spiral Staircase
Pat Upton
I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, oh, how I love ya
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
T. Connor
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
Let's get it on
Marvin Gaye

Trying to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel
Come on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give
As long as we got to be here
Let's live
There's nothing wrong with me
Loving you, now
Giving yourself to me
Can never be wrong
If (your) love is true
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be, yeah
I'm just asking you, baby
To get it on with me
Oh but I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna push
I won't push you baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Stop beating around the bush
Let's get it on
Let's get it on baby
Let's get it on

And checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.

I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town!

To wish me greetings, ooh, once again

Hooked On A Feeling
Mark James
I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Boy, you just don't realize
What you do to me
Your lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
You just keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I've got it bad for you, darling
But I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up boy
Yeah, you turn me on
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling ...
The Wildest Times of the World
Vonda Shepard & Michael Landau
Vonda Shepard
I have fallen, I have stood up, I've had the patience of
a tree
You have trembled, you have stayed still, you have tumbled like a weed
All the mountains, all the deserts, go for miles and miles around
We have driven for years now, baby, just to get back to a place we had
already found
Now you're driving me downtown, baby, on a rainy night
You're driving me crazy, baby, is this really life?
In the wildest times of the world
Oh I never thought I would be here with you tonight
In the wildest times of the world
Let's stay together in this lonely and crazy life
I was mistaken our love was forsaken, worst mistake I ever
made
Were you lonely, were you brave, now?
I guess the two are one and the same
Now I'm singing here with my sweet, sweet darling in my eye
Ain't it funny how you're walking through life and it turns on a dime?
I was missing you crazy, baby, are you really mine?
In the wildest times of the world
Oh I never thought I would be here with you tonight
In the wildest times of the world
Let's stay together in this lonely and crazy life
Hey Hey Hey...
I Could Have Danced All Night
Frederick Loewe
Alan Jay Lerner
Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My head's too light to try to set it down!
Sleep! Sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before.
I'll never know
What made it so exciting;
Why all at once
My heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night!
It's after three now.
Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed.
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before.
I'll never know
What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced, danced all night!
I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep.
I could have danced all night,
I could have danced all night.
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings,
And done a thousand things
I've never done before.
I'll never know
What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced
All night!
Heart And Soul
Frank Loesser, Hoagy Carmichael
Heart and soul, I fell in love with you
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do, madly
Because you held me tight
And stole a kiss in the night
Heart and soul, I begged to be adored
Lost control, and tumbled overboard, gladly
That magic night we kissed
There in the moon mist
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling
Never before were mine so strangely willing
But now I see, what one embrace can do
Look at me, it's got me loving you madly
That little kiss you stole
Held all my heart and soul
