the christmas song

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
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 ev'ry 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 Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways; “Merry Christmas to you”

SARAH VAUGHAN > Misty

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty,
And too much
In love...

Diana Krall > Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

KEITH JARRETT > All the things you are

SHIRLEY HORN > A time for love

A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love

A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

Miles Davis & John Coltrane > So what

Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie > Hot house

NANCY WILSON > Midnight Sun

Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice,
warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
rising to a snowy height.
Each star it's own aurora borealis,
suddenly you held me tight,
I could see the Midnight Sun.

Was there such a night, it's a thrill
I still don't quite believe,
But after you were gone,
there was still some stardust on my sleeve.

The flame of it may dwindle to an ember,
and the stars forget to shine,
And we may see the meadow in December,
icy white and crystalline.
But oh my darling always I'll remember
when your lips were close to mine,
And we saw the Midnight Sun
Midnight Sun.

Nina Simone > My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
is somethin' he can't see

My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for
he don't care for high-tone places

I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
Just says his prayers for
My baby just cares for me

ANITA O'DAY > You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To

PEGGY LEE > Fever

Never know how much I love you,
Never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.

You give me fever,
When you kiss me,
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever! In the morning,
Fever all through the night.

Sun lights up the daytime
And moon lights up the night..
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me feverWhen you kiss me, Fever when you hold
me tight.
Fever! In the morning, and fever all through the
night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliette
Juliette she felt the same
When he put his arms around her he said,
"Julie, Baby, you're my flame

"Thou giveth fever
"When we kisseth
"Fever with our flaming youth
"Fever! I'm afire,
"Fever, yea, I burn, forsooth."

Cap'in Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said,
"Daddy, no, don't you dare!

"He gives me fever
"With his kisses
"Fever when he holds me tight
"Fever! I'm his mistress, So
"Daddy, Won't you treat him right?"

Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit of Centigrade

They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever ! till you sizzle
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
