There's somethin' in the wind today that's good for everyone Yes, faith is our hearts today, we're shinin' like the sun And everyone can feel it, the feelin's runnin' deep After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas day |
| The Love Is Gone by Paul Williams There was a time when I was sure That you and I were truly one That our future was forever And would never come undone And we came so close to being close And though you cared for me There's distance in your eyes tonight So we're not meant to be The love is gone The love is gone The sweetest dream That you have ever known The love is gone The love is gone I wish you well But I must leave you now alone There comes a moment in your life Like a window and you see Your future there before you And how perfect life can be But adventure calls with unknown voices Pulling you away Be careful or you may regret The choice you make someday It was almost love It was almost always It was like a fairytale we'd live out You and I And yes some dream come true And yes some dreams fall through And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye Yes some dreams come true Yes some dreams fall through And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye |
| It Feels Like Christmas by Paul Williams It's in the singing of a street corner choir It's going home and getting warm by the fire It's true Wherever you find love It feels like Christmas A cup of kindness that we share with another A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother In all the places you find love It feels like Christmas It is the season of the heart A special time of caring The ways of love made clear It is the season of the sprit The message if we hear it Is make it last all year It's in the giving of a gift to another A pair of mittens that were made by your mother It's all the ways that we show love That feel like Christmas A part of childhood we'll always remember It is the summer of the soul in December Yes, when you do your best for love It feels like Christmas It is the season of the heart A special time of caring The ways of love made clear It is the season of the sprit The message if we hear it Is make it last all year It's in the singing of a street corner choir It's going home and getting warm by the fire It's true, wherever you find love It feels like Christmas It's true, wherever you find love It feels like Christmas It feels like Christmas It feels like Christmas It feels like Christmas |
| Scrooge by Paul Williams When a cold wind blows it chills you Chills you to the bone But there's nothing in nature that freezes your heart Like years of being alone It paints you with indifference Like a lady paints with rouge And the worst of the worst The most hated and cursed Is the one that we call Scrooge (yeah) Unkind as any And the wrath of many This is that Ebenezer Scrooge Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug There goes Mr. Grim If they gave a prize for bein' mean the winner would be him Oh, Scroogey loves his money 'Cause he thinks it gives him power If he became a flavor you can bet he would be sour There goes Mr. Skinflint There goes Mr. Greed The undisputed master of The underhanded deed He charges folks a fortune For his dark and drafty houses As poor folk live in misery It's even worse for mouses He must be so lonely He must be so sad He goes to extremes To convince us he's bad He's really a victim of fear and of pride Look close and there must be a sweet man inside--Naaaah! There goes Mr. Outrage There goes Mr. Sneer He has no time for friends or fun His anger makes that clear Don't ask him for a favor 'Cause his nastiness increases No crust of bread for those in need No cheeses for us meeses There goes Mr. Heartless There goes Mr. Cruel He never gives He only takes He lets this hunger rule If bein' mean's a way of life you practice and rehearse Then all that work is paying off 'Cause Scrooge is getting worse Every day In every way Scrooge is getting worse |
