"Mary's Boy Child"



Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.

Hark now, hear the angels sing
A new King's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

While Shepherds watched their flock by night
They see a bright new star
Then hear a choir of angels sing
Music seems to come from a far.

Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to lay the child
Not a single room was in sight.

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new King's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

By and by they find a little nook
In a stable so forlorned
In a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born.

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new King's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day...

"May The Good Lord Bless And Keep You"



May the good Lord bless and keep you
Whether near or far away
May you find that long awaited
Golden day today.

May your troubles all be small ones
And your fortunes ten times ten
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again.

May you walk with sunlight shining
And a bluebird in every tree
May there be a silver lining
Back on every cloud you see.

Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again.

(May you walk with sunlight shining)
And a bluebird in every tree
(May there be a silver lining)
Back on every cloud you see.

Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again.

May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet, (Till we meet)
Till we meet again...

"Memories Are Made Of This"



Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add another night of bliss
One girl, one boy; some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this.

Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine; two sips of wine
Memories are made of this.

Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savor.

With His blessings from above
Serve it gen'rously with love
One man, one wife; one love thru life
Sweet memories are made of this.

Memories are made of this...

"Men With Broken Hearts"


[Spoken]
You'll meet many just like me
Upon life's busy street
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed down
And eyes that stare in defeat.

Or souls that live within the past
Where sorrow plays all parts
Where a living death is all that's left
For men with broken hearts.

You have no right to be the judge
To criticize and condemn
Just think but for grace of God
It would be you instead of him.

One careless step a thoughtless deed
And then the mistery starts
And to those who weep death comes cheap
These men with broken hearts.

Oh, so humble you should be
If they come passing by
For it's written that the greatest men
Never get too big to cry.

Some lose faith in love and life
When sorrow shoots her darts
And with hope all gone they walk alone
These men with broken hearts.

You've never walked in that man's shoes
Or seen things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands
While the heart inside you dies.

Some were paupers some were kings
And some were masters of the arts
But in their shame they're al the same
These men with broken hearts.

Life sometimes can be so cruel
That a heart will pray for death
God why must these living dead
Know pain with every breath.

So help your brother along the road
No matter where you start
For the God that made you, made them too
These men with broken hearts.

[Sang]
(These men with broken hearts.)...

"Mexican Joe"



South of the border, hey, I know a lad,
He's got more fun than anybody's had,
Don't got no worry, don't got no dough,
Everybody's wondering 'bout Mexican Joe.
In old Mexico, they call him the Rhumba King,
Leads all the women around on a string,
When they go out, they get a million thrills,
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills.

Dancin', romancin',
Always on the go,
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

He makes the night spots all along the bay,
People want to see him when he comes their way,
He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes,
Everyone shouts "Viva la Mexican Joe."
He likes to gamble, at poker he's an ace,
He's always lucky with the cards that got a face,
At winning the money, he is sure a whiz,
But when they win they don't collect
'cause they don't know where he is.

Dancin', romancin',
Always on the go,
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

He don't no income tax 'cause he don't got no dough,
Still he gets along just fine, how we'll never know,
He's got everything he wants, a girl, a drink, a song,
If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong.
His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls,
He's got that somethin' that sets their hearts a-whirl,
It couldn't be his money 'cause he ain't got a peso,
But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so

Dancin', romancin',
Always on the go,
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

"Missing You"



Missing you, can't help but wish that you
Were in my arms tonight, making love to me
Kissing you, that's all I want to do
It never seems just right now that we're apart.

I always spend my time
just writing lines to you
Can't wait for you to write
saying you love me too

Missing you can't help but wish that you
were in my arms tonight making love to me
(I always spend my time just writing lines to you)
(Can't wait for you to write saying you love me too.)

Missing you can't help but wish that you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me...

"Mona Lisa"



Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with a mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely, they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa's strangest in your smile.

Do you smile to tempt the lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there.

Are you warm are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt the lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there.

Are you warm are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?..

"Most Of The Time"



I just burned the picture that you gave me
I burned all your love letters, too
I know that won't tear you from my mem'ry
But tell me what else I can do

I gave away the things that remind me
I hardly ever mention your name
Our friends never see you beside me
But I know you're there just the same

Most of the time you'd think I'm happy
Most of the time there's someone new
But most of the time I feel like cryin'
And most of the time that's what I do

Most of the time you'd think I'm happy
Most of the time there's someone new
But most of the time I feel like cryin'
And most of the time that's what I do

"Mother Went A-Walkin'"


[Sang]
(Shall we gather at the river that flows by the throne of God)

[Spoken]
The church doors opened one Sunday in a little country town
The people all were silent in the rain that misted down
And an old gray-haired granddad his shoulders stooped with pain
Was holdin' fast a little boy who kept cryin' in the rain.

And in the dim candlelight within a casket lay so still
That soon would lie beneath the earth up at the top of the hill
The little boy kept askin' in a low and plaintive tone
What's wrong with mommy grandpa won't she be comin' home?

It's awful lonesome grandpa since daddy went away
And mommy's all the reason why I'm happy every day
Wouldn't she feel better grandpa if I layed down by her side
The old man turned and faced him and with these words replied.

Mother went a walkin' son, away up in the sky
Along the brook that winds among the stars up there on high
And down the valley where the sun goes home at night to sleep
Mother went a walkin' son she wouldn't want us to weep.

The boy didn't seem to understand just where his mom had gone
He couldn't realize that now she wouldn't be comin' home
He saw the rain on grandpa's face, he didn't know he cried
And of course he couldn't hear the words that grandpa said inside.

Mother went a walkin' son, up yonder in the sky
And all that we can do down here son is bow our heads and cry
She's gone to meet your daddy son and take him by the hand
Yes, mother went a walkin' son in God's great meadowland...

"My Cathedral"



My cathedral has a ceiling of blue
My cathedral neath the sky
Where I may lift up my eyes unto the hills
And hear music from a stream rippling by.

My cathedral has an alter of flowers
Their fragrant incense fills the air
In my cathedral I am closer to him
Than I could be anywhere.

For here I pray
In a place so grand
The carpet I kneel on
Was made by his own hand.

My cathedral has candles lighted by the stars
And mighty pillars of trees
No other cathedral is so beautiful
For God made my cathedral for me...

"My Happiness"



Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How, I long to be with you, my happiness.

Everyday I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss, my happiness.

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then.

Where the skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you, my happiness.

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then.

Where the skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you, my happiness...

"My Juanita"



Nita Juanita,
Ask thy soul if we should part
Nita Juanita,
Lean thou on my heart.

Soft o'er the fountain
Ring falls the southern moon
Far o'er the mountain
Breaks the day too soon.

In thy dark eyes' splendor
Where the warm light loves to dwell
Weary looks, yet tender
Speak thy fond farewell.

(Nita Juanita,)
(Let me linger by your side)
Nita Juanita,
Be my own fair bride.

(Nita Juanita,)
(Ask thy soul if we should part)
Nita Juanita,
Lean Thou on my heart...

"My Lips Are Sealed"



I promise you he'll never know
That once we loved each other so
The past we knew I'll not reveal
My lips are sealed.

My heart may cry with every beat
Without your love I'm not complete
It doesn't matter how I feel
My lips are sealed.

Let there be laughter,
Not one single tear
And ever after
Let your fears disappear.

If you love him as I love you
Forget the past I led you through
Just don't look back it's all concealed
My lips are sealed.

Let there be laughter,
Not one single tear
And ever after
Let your fears disappear.

If you love him as I love you
Forget the past I led you through
Just don't look back it's all concealed
My lips are sealed...

"My Mary"



(Mary, big brown eyes Mary ruby lips)

I take a trip every evening
Journey down a memory lane
Strolling again those familiar paths
Dreaming those dreams again.

I can always see my sweetheart
Dressed like she used to be
Waiting for someone by the garden gate
I know that someone is me.

Big brown eyes, ruby lips,
Can't you tell it's Mary
Rosy cheeks, curly hair
Can't you tell it's my Mary.

All times in the evenings we'd go strolling
Hand in hand together beneath the pepper trees
I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight
Dreaming of the hours I've spent with my Mary.

All times in the evenings we'd go strolling
Hand in hand together beneath the pepper trees
I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight
Dreaming of the hours I've spent with my Mary...

"Need Me"



You can go where you wanna go
Even sail the ocean blue
Just need me
That's all I need to know.

You can do what you wanna do
And I'll bless each little thing you do
Just need me
That's all I ask of you.

It would please me to know that you need me
When the road is dark where you walk
Please let me know that you need me
To listen while you talk.

Go where you wanna go
Even sail the ocean blue
Just need me
That's all I need to know.

It would please me to know that you need me
When the road is dark where you walk
Please let me know that you need me
To listen while you talk.

Go where you wanna go
Even sail the ocean blue
Just need me
That's all I need to know...

"No One To Cry To"


No one to cry to
No one to say goodnight
No one to tell my troubles to.
No one to seigh to
No one to hold tight
No one to cheer me when I'm blue.

I go home to my lonely room
And find there's no one there
And each night I think of you
Please answer this one prayer.

And give me someone to cry to
Someone to say I do
Someone to whisper
I love you.

I go home to my lonely room
And find there's no one there
And each night I think of you
Please answer this one prayer.

Give me someone to cry to
Someone to say I do
Someone to whisper
I love you...

"Not Until The Next Time"



Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time.

Here I am the way you left me
With a heart so full of pain
As I look into the past
I see the picture once again.

Each time I let it happen
I vow this is the end
And I stopped loving you
Until the next time.

Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
And listen when you beg me
For a chance when your untrue.

Not until the next time
Will my heart let me forgive
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time.

Once again I take your picture
And place it out of sight
And I put away the record
We listen to each night.

I rearrange each little thing thing
As I've done so many times
And I won't put them back
Until the next time.

Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
And listen when you beg me
For a chance when your untrue.

Not until the next time
Will my heart let me forgive
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time...

"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 to-night.

O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
(We hear the Christmas angels)
(The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Emmanuel!..

"Oh Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)"



(Oh come, all ye faithful,)
(Joyful and triumphant,)
Oh come ye, Oh come ye to bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels!
Oh come, let us adore him,
Oh come, let us adore him,
Oh come, let us adore him,
Christ the lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to thee be the glory giv'n
Word of the father,
Now in flesh appearing
Oh come, let us adore him,
Oh come, let us adore him,
Oh come, let us adore him,
Christ the lord...

"Oh, Gentle Shepherd"



My soul is lost, so lonely and so cold
Just like a lamb that has strayed from the fold
Across the barren waste of sin I roam
Oh, gentle shepherd hear my cry and lead me home.

The hours go by on frightened wings of flight
While wolves of hell are waiting for the night
To claim the soul that wandered from the fold
Oh, gentle shepherd hear my cry and save my soul.

Oh, gentle shepherd hear my lonely cry
And in Thy cool green pastures let me lie
Beside the still clear waters lead Thou me
Oh, gentle shepherd safe forevermore with Thee...
