1.The Blessings
Written：T.Gentry／R.Owen／Ronnie Rogers／Greg Fowler
I satnd here lookin' up at the starts tonight, how can one man
have somuch in
life
As I look around me, what a picture it paints, I'm muchmore than
lucky, I
oughta give my thanks
There's food on the table, a log on the fire, and in my woman's
eyes there's
love and desire
The blessings, sent from above, oh, the blessings, a life full
of love
When I look around I can see, all that's been given me, so Ilift
my eyes up
to the sky
I wanna give my, my, my, my, my thanks for the blessings
Sometimes I fall asleep at the end of the day and I forget to
thank you, I'm
ashamed to say
But as I lay m down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I know you can hear me here on Earth, thank you for giving me
more than I
deserve
The blessings, sent from above, oh, the blessings, a life full
of love
When I look around I can see, all that's been given me, so Ilift
my eyes up
to the sky
'Cause I wanna give my, my, my, my, my thanks for the blessings
Blessings, when I look around, I can see, all that's been given
me
So, I lift my eyes up to the sky, 'cause I wanna give my, my,
my, my, my
thanks for the blessings
The blessings, oh, the blessings
2.Christmas in Your Arms
Written：Bill Anderson／Steve Wariner
All my friens are asking me where I plan to spend the holidays
People seem to celebrate the season in so many different ways
Some go where the weather's freezing cold while others like it
warm
I don't care about the weather just whether I spend Christmas in
your arms
Chorus：
We could drive up to the mountains, build a fire and watch it
snow
We could sail down to the islands where the gentle breezes blow
I'd be happy in the city, I'd be happy on the farm
I don't care whre I spend Christmas as long as I spend Christmas
in your arms
It was only last December I had no Christmas spirir in my heart
My world lay cold and shattered in the ashes of a dream that
fell apart
But now you're here beside me, no greater gift is wrapped
beneath my tree
And the arms you wrap around me and the precious gift of love
you give to me
Chorus
I don't care where I spend Christmas as long as I spend
Christmas in your arms
3.Christmas Is Love
Written：Rich Alves／T.J.Knight／Jerry Taylor
It's that time of year when the whole world is heart tot heart
You can feel love all around you, you can see it everywhere
Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singing
Christmas is love, it's families comin' home
Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces
Christmas is love
Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Chirstmas is love, hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, it's sharing in the giving
Christmas is love
We all gather 'round, watch the lights dancing on the tree
The spirit of the season, you feel it in the air
Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singing
Christmas is love, it's families comin' home
Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces
Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Chirstmas is love, just hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, it's sharing in the giving
Christmas is love, Christmas is love, Christmas is love
4.When It Comes To Christmas
Written：Teddy Gentry／Randy Owen／Ronnie Rogers
Well, I'mgladlittle Johnny wants that remote control
I know I'm gonna run it fast as it will go
And Jenny wants every game that Nintendo makes
It's just around the corner and I can't wait
I've got my stocking hangin', it's time to go to bed
I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head
I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always dod
Yeah, when it comes to Christmas I'm still a kid
I still like shakin' presents underneath the tree
And tryin' to figure out what ole Santa's got for me
Oh, I get so excited on Christmas Eve
I try my best to close my eyes, but I can't sleep
Well, I've got my stocking hangin', its time to go to bed
I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head
I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did
Yeah, when it comes to Christmas I'm still a kid
When it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid
Just a kid
5.I Was Young Once Too
Written：Richard Leigh／Robert Byrne
He raced that engine down the track 'round the tree on Christmas
day
I was so amazed my dad would play with trains
I saw a sparkle in his eye, then I heard him say, come on son
let's play, I
was young once, too
He washed that Buick faithfully, Lord he kept her clean
I thought that machine meant more to him than me
On the day I turned sixteen he threw me the keys
Said I was young once, too, now she belongs to you
He was such a young man then, I'm older than that now
I hope I measure up to him, when the circle comes around
I saw him in the attic sittin' cross legged on the floor
With some old photographs, he point and laughed
He said, that's me in that picture, I said, no son, that's your
dad
I was young once, too, and looked a lot like you
I was young once, too, I was young once, too
Merry Christmas son, I wish your grandpa were here
He was young once, too, and looked like me and you
6.The Night Before Christmas
Written：Jim Mcbride／Sam Hogin／Nelson Larkin
Ribbons and paper cover the floor, it's been a great Christmas
with presents
galore
Everyone's happy and I'm happy, too
Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had
with you
Frost on the window, snow on the ground, holiday spirit, holiday
sounds
Everyone's thankful and I'm thankful, too
Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had
with you
It all started underneath that mistletoe when we were waiting up
just to help
ole Santa Claus
We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of when we heard
those sleigh
bells and ole Santa almost caught us
We didn't take no pictures, but I still remember one very
special
twenty-fourth day of December
Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had
with you
It all started underneath that mistletoe while we were waiting
up to help ole
Santa Clause
We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of when we heard
those sleigh
bells and ole Santa almost caught us
If we don't do this nect year, honey, I'm sure gonna miss it
Why don't we make it a new Yuletide tradition
Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had
with you
Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had
with you
7.O Little Town of Bethlehem
Lyrics：L.H.Redner
Music：L.H.Redner
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above they deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
O holy child of Bethlehem descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Immanuel
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
8.Happy Birthday Jesus
Written：J.P.Pennington／Teddy Gentry
Happy birthday, Jesus, it's that time of year
All the lights on the trees say Christmas time is near
Another year's behind us, you helped us make it through
So, happy birthday, Jesus, this song is just for you
We all get so hung up on material things at times it seems liek
we forget
what Christmas really means
It should be thanks we're givin', that's why I wrote this tune
Happy brithday, Jesus, this sing is just for you
There's a gift for everyone but you underneath the tree
No, it's not much, but I hipe you like this song to you from me
Happy birthday Jesus, that's why I wrote this tune
So, happy birthday, Jesus, my song is just for you
9.The Christmas Spirit
Written：Teddy Gentry／Randy Owen／Ronnie Rogers
I see the lights of the city tonight and I see a star shinin' so
bright
A babe in a manger in swaddling clothes, it's you, it's me
everyone knows
The Christmas spirit is in the air, the Christmas spirit is
everywhere
Like th day Christ was born in Bethlehem, the Christmas spirit
has been
coming down
I hear the sound of church bell ring, and I see kids and
grown-ups sing
A real live nativity scene, it's you, it's me, we all know what
it means
The Christman spirit is in the air, the Christmas spirit is
everywhere
Like the day Christ was born in Bethlehem, the Christmas spirit
has been
coming down
An it's time to let the angels sing, it's time to praise the
newborn King
It's time for that eastern star to shine, it's time, it's
Christmas time
Yes, it's time to let the angels sing, it's time to praise the
newborn King
It's time for that eastern start to shine, it's time, it's
Christmas time
Since the day Christ was born in Bethlehem, the Christmas spirit
has been
coming down
10.Hangin' 'Round the Mistletow
Lyrics：Kostas
Music：Kostas
Snowny days and frosty night, everything looks cold and white
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, hangin' 'round the mistletoe
Christmas day will soon be here, and everybody's full of cheer
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear
Well, I've waited all year long and nore the year is almost gone
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, hangin' 'round the mistletoe
But if that's what I've gotta do just to get a kiss from you
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear
Christmas is a special time to give and to receive
For every little kiss you give me I will give you three
You ain't gonna miss one kiss, that's one thing you'll never
miss
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletow waitin' for you dear
Well, I've had my eyes on you for a long, long time
So, I'm asking Santa please, make that pretty girl mine
Waited till I'm cold and blue just to get a kiss from you
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

12.Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Lyrics：Johnny Marks
Music：Johnny Marks
Well, rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party
hop
Mistletow hung where you can see every couple of tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear voices singing
'Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly'
Well, rockin' around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday
Everyone feeling merrily in the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear voices singing
'Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly'
Yeah, rockin' around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday
Everyone feeling merrily in the new old-fashioned way
13.New Year's Eve 1999
Lyrics：Gretchen Peters
Music：Gretchen Peters
Baby, let's make a date for a night on the town
How does the turn of the century sound
I guarantee that we'll have a good time
New Year's Eve 1999
Now I know it sounds a bit premature
But I'm askin' you now 'cause I want to be sure
Do you have anything else in mind
New Year's Eve 1999
We'll drink pink champagne from a plastic cup
Dance all night 'til the sun comes up
We'll say it's been a pretty good century
Except for that weekend in '93
Then we'll go home to our warn winter bed
And tuck in the kids with a kiss on the head
And sing one more chorus of Auld Lang Syne
New Year's Eve 1999
I'll be your sweetheart if you'll be mine
New Year's Eve 1999, New Year's Eve 1999
