OH JULIE
By

***************
Oh Julie, if you love me truly
Do you want me, Julie?
To be, to be your very own
Julie, won’t you hold me
Julie, don’t be lonely
‘Cause I want you only
To be, to be my very own
Baby, don’t leave me
Honey, don’t grieve me
Julie, why leave me alone
Stay with me, baby
Play with me,baby
Honey, don’t leave me alone
Julie, never leave me
Please don’t deceive me
Julie, oh believe me
And be, and be my very own
Oh Julie, if you love me truly
Do you want me, Julie?
To be, to be your very own
Baby, don’t leave me
Honey, don’t grieve me
Julie, why leave me alone
Stay with me, baby
Play with me, baby
Honey, don’t leave me alone
Julie, never leave me
Please don’t deceive me
Julie, oh believe me
And be, and be my very own
To be, to be, to be
To be, my very own
To be, to be, to be
To be my very own
I HAVEN’T CHANGED THE ROOM
***************
Here is the room that we shared
The room that you cared for
So I haven’t changed the room
How did the years slip away
I could swear you’re still there
For I haven’t changed the room
Now that you’re gone
What am I to do
So many fantasies
Plans that we made
That will never come true
And I haven’t changed all that much
And I’m sure you’d be proud of
The way that I came through
So if you happen to be passin’ by
To make sure that you recognize it
I haven’t changed the room
IF YOU WERE HERE WITH ME TONIGHT
***************
Sometimes late at night
When the shadows made by street lamps
Cast a darkened silver light
You’ll drift into my mind
Reminding me of all I’ve lost
And all I’ve yet to find
So many things I know I should have told you
Now what I wouldn’t give if I could hold you
If you were here with me tonight
This time I’d never let it end
We’d find those feelings we once had
And feel them all again
We’d make love stronger than before
And give each other even more
And finally find a way to make it right
If you were here with me tonight
Here with me tonight
Somehow now I see
How time can soften
Even the most painful memory
Now what we had is gone
And the sooner I believe in that
The sooner I’ll go on
But love like ours
Comes just once in a lifetime
So I tell myself it just wasn’t the right time
If you were here with me tonight
This time I’d never let it end
We’d find those feelings we once had
And feel them all again
We’d make love stronger than before
And give each other even more
And finally find a way to make it right
If you were here with me tonight
Here with me tonight
The minutes seem like hours
How long before the light of day
Helps to chase these thoughts away
If you were here with me tonight
This time I’d never let it end
We’d find those feelings we once had
And feel them once again
We’d make love stronger than before
And give each other even more
And finally find a way to make it right
If you were here with me tonight
If you were here with me tonight
If only you were here with me tonight
Here with me tonight
JOY TO THE WORLD
***************
Joy to the world! The Lord is come:
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns:
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground:
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.
He rules the earth with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousnes
And wonders of his love.
SILVER BELLS
***************
Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.
City sidewalk, 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.
City street lights,
Even stop lights,
Blink a 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 this bustle 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.
MY MOONLIGHT MEMORIES OF YOU
***************
One time in everybody’s life
There is a moment
Like the moment we knew
And if you’re a fool
You’ll let it slip away
Sometime in everybody’s life
There is a feeling
A feeling so real
And once it’s gone it can never be replaced
I’m dancing with a shadow
Holding on to a dream that’ll never come true
Still haunted by that old love song
My moonlight memories of you
My heart is like a ghost town
To every stranger that passes on through
All they find there
Is what you left behind there
My moonlight memories of you
You thought when you left me
I’ll let you go
But here I am loving you more
Then you’ll ever know
If I could hold you
Feel your heart beat
Just one more time
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
’cause without your love
I’ll never be free of
My moonlight memories of you
One time in everybody’s life
There is a moment
Like the moment we knew
And if you’re a fool
You’ll let it slip away
I’m dancing with a shadow
Holding on to a dream that’ll never come true
Still haunted by that old love song
My moonlight memories of you
My moonlight memories of you
