I Believe In Santa Claus

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
And I believe in Santa Claus

I believe in Santa Claus I'll tell you why I do
I believe that dreams and plans and wishes can come true
I believe in miracles I believe in magic too
I believe in Santa Claus and I believe in you

I believe in family in country and in smiles
I believe in turning negatives to positives in life
I believe in looking farther up the farther down we get
I believe when someone hurts us we should forgive and forget

And I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe that love should prevail at any cost
And I believe in Santa Claus

I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude can make a better way
I believe in viewing life as a journey that we're on
And looking at our troubles as another stepping stone

And I believe that everything that it is what it's meant to be
I believe there is a God somewhere although he's hard to see
I believe I am so therefore I should do all that I can
To be a better piece in the puzzle of God's plan

And I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
I believe in Santa Claus

Let the little children sing
(I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus)
Let the whole world to sing with us
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
Let the whole world to sing with us
I believe in Santa Claus I believe in Santa Claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
I believe in Santa Claus

Inter Wonderland / Sleigh Ride

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a newbird
He sings a love song as he goes along walking in the winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build the snowman and pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you merry we'll say no man but you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
The face on the frame the plans that we made walking in the winter wonderland

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling you hoo
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

In the meadow we can build the snowman...
The face on the frame the plans that we made walking in the winter wonderland

Christmas Without You

Dolly Parton - Steve Goldstein

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Christmas without you white Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse Christmas without you

The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of mem'ries of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to Christmas without you

Christmas without you white Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you so sad but so true
Christmas without you like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse Christmas without you

The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas Eve
The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me

Christmas without you white Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you I need you so sad but so true
Christmas without you like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse Christmas without you

Christmas without you I just can't get used to
I just have known you Christmas without you
You know that I love you you know that I need you
You know that I want you I need you I love you I don't stop to
You know that I want you you know that I need you
You know that I need you you know that I want you
I love you I want you I need you I do

The Christmas Song

Mel Torme - Robert Wells

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas merry Christmas merry Christmas to you

Christmas To Remember

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feeling's in the middle of December
Strangers meet and willingly surrender
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

Almost went to Aspen but something told me no
I considered Mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
And I even thought of Gattlinburg but that seemed so far to go
So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes

And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a Tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover with some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good

And you've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Change the radio and I'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

Strangers when we met lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember too good to believe
Don't know how it went but I know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind

You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

We loved and laughed and played and joked
Sang Christmas songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes then to the lodge for dinner
But now it's time for us to go as our hearts melt like chimney snow
There's just one thing I want to know can we do this next winter

Oh oh what a Christmas to remember
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Though the fire is hot we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Though it's cold outside we'll just stoke the burning embers
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

With Bells On

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

I'll be home with bells on I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on

I've traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to other's lives
It's Christmas time again another year has come and gone
And I can't keep from wonderin' how the old folks are at home

Cause I'll be home with bells on...
[ steel ]
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells around the Christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on
There ain't nothing goin' to slow me down this Christmas I'll be home

Yeah I'll be home with bells on...
Yeah I'll be home with bells on...

Silent Night

Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright
Round young virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night holy night shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Christ the Saviour is born Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night holy night son of God love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face with the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth Jesus Lord at Thy birth

The Greatest Gift Of All

John Jarvis

© Tree Pub, BMI

Dawn is slowly breaking our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting for Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all

The fire is slowly fading chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting for children everywhere
Through the window I can see snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all

Just before I go to sleep I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas everyone is the song it sings
So I Play a silent prayer for creatures great and small
Peace on earth good will to men is the greatest gift of all
Peace on earth good will to men is the greatest gift of all

White Christmas

Irving Berlin

© Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
[ strings ]
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Once Upon A Christmas

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born his palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swaddling cloth a halo was his crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A Saviour had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last...
[ strings ]
All the world rejoiced because the King was born at last...
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
