Little Lights

The little lights for holidays

Shine, shine, shine so bright

The little lights for holidays

Shine, shine, shine

Just One Candle ~ Denise Gagne

Just one candle shining in a window pane

Gives a light for all to see a shining flame

Shining through the darkness, it helps to show the way

Light your candle for peace today

Shine your light for peace, shine it all around the world

Sing to everyone, let your voice be heard

Shine your light for peace, shine it everywhere

Show the people in the world you care, yes

Just one candle shining in a window pane

gives a light for all to see a shining flame

Shining through the darkness it helps to show the way

Light our candle for peace today

Shine your light for peace shine it all around the world

Sing for everyone, let your voice be heard

Shine your light for peace shine it everywhere

Show the people in the world you care

Show the people in the world you care.

Ring, Ring. Ring the Bells

Ring, ring, ring the bells

Ring them loud and clear

To tell the children everywhere

That holidays are here!

Three Generations ~ Hawksley Workman

Wash the dishes

wash the dishes

the Christmas dinner dishes

Three generations in the kitchen

all at once

and go and get a camera

and go and wake up grandpa

three generations in the kitchen

all at once..

play a Christmas album

the Elvis Christmas album

three generations sing blue Christmas

all at once

and light another candle

come sit near the piano

three generations sing together

all at once.

put away the turkey

to make sandwiches tomorrow

and put away the bones to make soup for hte winter

but not the wish bone

we'll just put it on the counter

to let it dry out this week

in time to make a wish for new years eve

take turns with the washing

And take turns with the drying

three generations in the kitchen

all at once

soak the tough ones 'til tomorrow

and save the suite for the sparrows

three generations merry Christmas

all at once

put away the turkey

to make sandwiches tomorrow

and put away the bones to make soup for hte winter

but not the wish bone

we'll just put it on the counter

to let it dry out this week

in time to make a wish for new years eve

and put away the fancy dishes

just to take them out next Christmas

three generations are only together for so long

telling stories of the good times

the bad times and the war time

three generations

are only together for so long

Hallelujah ~ Leonard Cohen

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did—well, really—what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light in every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah
