When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Like dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Our lady known as Paris
Romantic and charming
Has left her old companions
And faded from view
Lonely men with lonely eyes
Are seeking her in pain
Her streets are where they were
But there's no sign of her, she has left the scene
The last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay
I heard the laughter of her heart
In every street cafe
The last time I saw Paris
Her trees were dressed for spring
And lovers walked beneath those trees
And birds found songs to sing
I dodged the same old taxi cabs
That I had dodged for years
The chorus of this quicky horn
Was music to my ears
The last time I saw Paris
Her heart was young and gay
No matter how they change her
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.
Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.
chorus
I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.
chorus
If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.
chorus
My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
chorus
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
chorus
Well, I will pray to God on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
chorus
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.
There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town
'Cause there were carols in the square
Laughter everywhere
Couples kissing under the mistletoe
I can't help reminiscing
Knowing I'll be missing
Christmas Eve in my home town
Nothing can erase
The mem'ries I embrace
Those familiar footprints upon the snow
There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town
I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might
(We'd like to see you)
I can hear singing
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night
Wise men journeyed far
Guided by a star
But though I'm not a wise one, this I know
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spending
Christmas Eve in my home town
(I know that)
I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might
(It seems that I can hear singing)
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night
Wise men journeyed far
Guided by a star
But though I'm not a wise one, this I know
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spending
Christmas Eve in my
(Be there to meet ya)
Home
(Be glad to greet ya)

That's Why Darkies Were Born
Kate Smith
Henderson & Brown
Someone had to pick the cotton,
Someone had to pick the corn,
Someone had to slave and be able to sing,
That's why darkies were born;
Someone had to laugh at trouble,
Though he was tired and worn,
Had to be contented with any old thing,
That's why darkies were born;
Sing, sing, sing when you're weary and
Sing when you're blue,
Sing, sing, that's what you taught
All the white folks to do;
Someone had to fight the Devil,
Shout about Gabriel's Horn,
Someone had to stoke the train
That would bring God's children to green pastures,
O say! Can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
O say! Does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day (Eve)
City street lights, even stoplights
Blinking bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you'll hear
Silver bells, (Silver bells)
Silver bells, (Silver bells)
It's Christmas-time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Joy to The world! the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove The glories of His
righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
The White Cliffs of Dover
Kate Smith
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Hello, everybody!
This is Kate Smith.
All by myself at twilight
Watching the day depart
And with the fading twilight
Happiness fills my heart
When the moon comes over the mountain
Every beam brings a dream, dear, of you
Once again we stroll 'neath the mountain
Through that rose covered valley we knew
Each day is gray and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my memory
Of you
-Humming-
Each day is gray and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my memory
Twenty million people
Are listening to my song
But I'm only singin' for one
Twenty million people
Will know that I belong
To no one else under the sun
Every city street and country byway
Will hear my cheery
"Hello, Everybody!"
But they're not aware it's only my way
Of letting her know
That I need her so
If twenty million people
Would pass the word along
And ask her to please listen in
Maybe she'll discover
How lonely I've been
And even if she hasn't heard
Maybe she will take the word
Of twenty million people
Carolina moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be
How I'm hoping tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I'm alright
Please do
Tell him that I'm blue and lonely
While the storm clouds gather,
Far across the sea,
Let us swear alliegence,
To a land thats free,
Let us all be greatful,
For a land so fair,
As we raise our voices,
In a solem prayer.
God, bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her,
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans white with foam,
God, bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home
God bless America....
