One Christmas Catalogue

Many years ago
More than I can say
'Cause I wasn't there
It was yesterday
Statues have their fun
People have their day
And history comes and goes
It's time for us to play
And there's a turkey in the wings
He doesn't dance and he can't sing
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue too many
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue for you
Aeroplanes can fly
Ships take to the sea
Baby you and I
We are you and me
All the nuts and grapes
Through the mists of time
And even at this point
Are really quite sublime
And there's a turkey in the wings
He doesn't dance and he can't sing
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue too many
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue for you
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Certain summer trips
Day turns into night
'Til we squeeze the pips
Let's just leave the lights
And outside it's cool
Here it's fresh and bright
Whyn't you take my arm
Let's get out of sight
But there's a turkey in the wings
He doesn't dance and he can't sing
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue too many
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue for you
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
Christmas
Is it Christmas
And there's a turkey in the wings
He'd like to dance and he can't sing
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue too many
Christmas to Christmas
One Christmas catalogue for you
Christmas to Christmas

Walking in the Air
05:12
|
|||
|
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Magical Night
02:26

|
Christmas Eve is finally here
I can't go to sleep now
Want to see old Santa Claus
And here that jingling
I've been good the whole year through
Extra good on Sundays
I hope Santa got my note
Mailed it just last week
This is what I've waited for
Three hundred sixty-five days
What could happen, I don't know
On this magic night
Guess I finally fell asleep
I was up past midnight
Let's go wake up Mom and Dad
It's finally Christmas day.

Christmastime is Always
04:21

Christmastime is always
Christmastime is always fun
Except for when it isn't
Except for when it's no fun
Christmastime is joyful
Christmastime has joyfulness
Except for when it doesn't
Except for when it's joyless
Christmastime is always
Christmastime is always fun
Except for when it isn't
Except for when it's no fun
Sadness cannot stop me
Sadness hasn't stopped me yet
Because I know you love me
Because I know it's Christmas

Everett Christmas Medley

When it's time for Christmas, that is when you hear this song
Christmas there you are, just where you belong
In December, in December
Selling all my winter drugs, just to buy your Christmas gifts
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
------------------
To all my friends and all of my family:
wishing you a very merry merry Christmas
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho
------------------

Half the Fruit
05:00
|
|||
|
When half the fruit left on the tree
Is rotting on the vine
It's tough to tell which ones are good
And hard to want to try
The fallacy of sunken costs
How long I've worked and labored
If all this yields is hate and pain
The fruit has lost its flavor
I haven't felt the Christmas spirit yet
Been stuck here in the year that never ends
I don't believe they'll make it great again
But do believe we'll make it through this mess
I've seen behind the curtain
and the blackness of their hearts
I've felt the pain of knowing
We have drifted far apart
I'm sure it'd be much easier
If I could cease to care
But I can't shake this feeling
That's there's meaning there somewhere
I haven't felt the Christmas spirit yet
Been stuck here in the year that never ends
I don't believe they'll make it great again
But do believe we'll make it through this mess
If nothing else, we still have Christmas
If nothing else, we still have Jesus
And even though the meaning changes
If nothing else, we still have Christmas
