I CANNOT FORGET
lyrics and music by Janey Clewer © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / BMI

Bundled beside a fire
Christmas was everywhere
Both of us felt so warm
No feeling could compare

Feelings of new romance
Burned with intense desire
Holiday spirit glowed
Like logs upon the fire

What is the meaning of
Meeting on Christmas night
What does the future hold
For love that feels so right

CHORUS
I cannot forget, you cannot forget
All the magic in the air
On that night so rare
Love was ours to share
I cannot forget, you cannot forget
Tell me what am I to do
All my thoughts keep coming back to me and you

Small talks and subtle moves
You tempted me with your charms
Willingly I agreed
And melted in your arms

Under the mistletoe
OO, both of us shared a kiss
I could have never wished
A Christmas joy like this

What is the meaning of
Meeting on Christmas night
What does the future hold
For love that feels so right

CHORUS
I cannot forget, you cannot forget
All the magic in the air
On that night so rare
Love was ours to share
I cannot forget, you cannot forget
Tell me what am I to do
All my thoughts keep coming back to me and you, together

solo

I cannot forget, you cannot forget
Tell me what am I to do
All my thoughts keep coming back to me and you, together
All my thoughts keep coming back to me and you

CHRISTMAS IN THE AIR
lyrics by Janey Clewer

Unexplained excitement
Nothing can compare
There's a wild anticipation
Magic in the air

Greeting cards that warm you
With thoughts of love and cheer
Let us keep this special feeling
All through the coming year
And it's nice to know that Christmas time is here

CHORUS
Christmas in the air
Time for all to share
Now we celebrate the joy of Christmas
Christmas in the air
Magic everywhere
Now we celebrate the joy of Christmas in the air

There's a fire burning brightly
Children fast asleep In the morning they will wake up
From a slumber deep
And the happy memories they will always keep

Oh oh ay, Oh oh ay, Oh oh ay, Oh oh ay

All of the people singing
All of the children dancing
Everyone celebrating
Christmas in Jamaica

Cooking our favorite dishes
Tropical, delicious
Wonderful aromas
Christmas in Jamaica

In the island of pleasure and beauty
The sun is warm and golden bright
Everyone is dancing and singing all through the night
Til the light

Oh such a celebration
Down in the island village
Oh such a festive party
Christmas in Jamaica

Oh Oh Ay Oh ...

All of the people laughing
All of the children playing
Everyone having a good time
Christmas in Jamaica

All of the decorations
Brighten up the island
Colorful traditions
Christmas in Jamaica

MESSAGE IN THE MUSIC
lyrics and music by Janey Clewer © 2003
Preacher's Kid Publishing / BMI

Here we are again, the holidays are near
There's a magic like no other time of year
Loved ones far away send greeting cards and call
But it's the old familiar songs that bring a comfort to us all

CHORUS
There's a message in the music
That lifts our spirits high It warms us from the inside
Without knowing how or why
It captivates our souls
And fills us up because
The message in the music ... The message in the music ... is love

Christmas songs are like a footprint in the snow
They leave impressions on our hearts that won't let go
How we love the sound of those haunting melodies
So once a year we all sing the songs that stir our memories

CHORUS

"The Christmas Song", a classic "White Christmas" sung by Bing
"Silver Bells" and "Let It Snow" Invite our hearts to sing....

CHORUS

AIN'T NO TIME FOR DIETS
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman and Janey Clewer © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

It's a wonderful time for holiday food it's Christmas
It's a marvelous day for cookin' and bakin' sweets
Sugar and butter cookies, chocolate and almond treats
Sweet candy, fudge and gingerbread are goodies we love to eat

Mom's roastin' a turkey, stuffin' a goose for Christmas
The kitchen's a mess and music is playin' low
There's cranberry sauce Jack's favorite
Corn pudding for uncle Stu
But we better bake two pumpkin pies 'cause someone invited Lou

We'll set the dining table with the finest china
Crystal and silverware
With flowers in the center and candles all around
No table could compare

It's a wonderful time for holiday food, it's Christmas
My appetite's growing faster than Santa's sleigh
Ain't no time for diets
So forget about bein' thin
'Cause the amount of food that will consume
It will 'cause our bellies to balloon
And the hour will be coming very soon

'TWAS LOVE
lyrics and music by Janey Clewer © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / BMI

Turn down the lights
Let the candle's light inspire
A night that burns
With a flaming love's desire

As we open our gifts underneath our tree
I will think of, and remember

CHORUS
Our first Christmas night
Under the pale moonlight
Loving you felt so right, 'Twas Love
Kisses that melted the snow
We don't need mistletoe
Eager to take it slow, 'Twas Love

I need your love
Like a shining star to guide me
Each passing day
You shine your light on me so brightly

As we celebrate loving throughout the year I will think of and remember

CHORUS

solo

CHORUS ( repeat and fade)

I'M CHRISTMASING WITH YOU
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

Christmas rush is over now, let's go far away
To a very special place a lover's hideaway
Somewhere in a quiet spot for the holiday
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you

In our little paradise a cabin just for two
Let me show how much I care and kiss you all night through
Do you know that I love you and all the things you do?
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you

Way up in the mountains we will build a fire
As the north wind blows a snowy storm
As our tree lights glisten
I hope your heart will listen
To the words I love you
Darling, how I love you!

In the northern twilight sky
On a star so bright
I'll make one small simple wish
To kiss you're lips goodnight
Let me take you in my arms
And hold you oh so tight
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you

instrumental

You are here next to me
Slowly you awake
Watching you my poor heart
Feels so good it aches
We will both celebrate
With the love we make
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you

I'M ALL LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman and Janey Clewer © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Christmas tree, Christmas tree
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
'Cause my baby's comin' home

I'm all decked out for this holiday
What a day! Christmas day
I'm all decked out for this holiday
'Cause my baby's comin' home

As the snow comes tumblin' down
Makin' the ground much whiter
He'll be travelin' home
To make this house much brighter

I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Christmas tree, Christmas tree
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
'Cause my baby's comin' home

I'm roastin' turkey and bakin' pie
For my guy, my oh my
I'm roastin' turkey and bakin' pie
'Cause my baby's comin' home

I'm all spruced up like a Christmas goose
Wild and loose and full of juice
I'm all spruced up like a Christmas goose
'Cause my baby's comin' home

My heart is so excited
That I can hardly think
When I hear the doorbell ring
My heart will surely sink

solo

I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Christmas tree, Christmas tree
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
'Cause my baby's comin' home
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
'Cause my baby's comin' home

WHAT A CHRISTMAS FEELING
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman and Janey Clewer © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

Everything I wished for
Is coming true tonight
Everything I hoped for
Is turning out right

Mistletoe and moonlight
Music soft and low
All the special joys
Only lovers can know

CHORUS
What a Christmas feeling
Holding you near me
What a Christmas feeling
Lovers In Love

Lights that shine like starlight
On our Christmas tree
Sparkle like your eyes
When you're looking at me

CHORUS

Time to give and time to share
Time to show loved ones just how much we care

CHORUS

IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman © 2003
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

Hearts that beat like butterfly wings
Our love was born in spring
Summer sizzled, still it's worth remembering

Fall turned cool, a chill swept the air
Soon red and golden trees were bare
Even tho' the snow is falling everywhere

CHORUS
It doesn't feel like Christmas
My mood's rather listless
Wish this feeling I could just undo
Don't feel like holidaying
Guess what I am saying
Christmas isn't Christmas without you

Family and friends gather 'round
You're nowhere to be found
Without you, I feel the ice that's kissed the ground

Greeting cards, the candles aflame
And packages not one the same
What I'd give to see and hear you speak my name

CHORUS

It doesn't feel like Christmas
My mood's rather listless
Wish this feeling I could just undo
Don't feel like holidaying
Guess what I am saying
Christmas isn't Christmas without you in my arms holding me near
........How can I get through another soiree when there's nothing to cheer

CHORUS

LET'S BUILD A SNOWMAN
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman and Janey Clewer © 1990
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

Jenny woke up on sunday morn'
And she peeked her head outside
Tommy waved from across the street
As he got on his sled for a ride

Jenny got dressed, all bundled up
Then she dashed to see his sled
Then she told him the idea inside her head

CHORUS
Let's build a snowman
With a big carrot nose
Give him my wool scarf
As red as a rose
Let's build a snowman
With a belly or two
Buttons for eyes so he'll never cry
A friend for me and you

Both of them went hard at work
Rolling snow up into balls
One by one they stacked them up
Until he stood real tall
Then the sun came out and melted him too small

CHORUS

solo

CHRISTMAS FROM THE HEART
lyrics by Janey Clewer
music by Randy Waldman and Janey Clewer © 2003
Preacher's Kid Publishing / Great Randini Music and Publishing/ BMI

I feel a youthful glow inside
When those I love are near
My heart is light with shear delight
'Cause Christmas time is here

Childhood memories in my mind
Are just a thought away
They're bright as snow and how they glow
With warmth that fills each day

I think of friends and family
The ones who mean the most
With my glass of eggnog raised
I give this special toast

CHORUS
Christmas from the heart
I wish for one and all
It's nothing new, from me to you
It's simple but not small
May loved ones be together
And never drift apart
Goodwill toward men and peace on earth
Have Christmas from the heart

solo

CHORUS

Goodwill toward men and peace on earth
Have Christmas from the heart
