When we play the fife and drum ture-lure-lu, pata-pata-pan When we play the fife and drum Christmas will be most gladsome This is how in ancient days men the King of Kings did praise So let us play the fife and drum ture-lure-lu, pata-pata-pan So let us play the fife and drum So will we be most gladsome God and man are now as one Even more than fife and drum So let us play the fife and drum ture-lure-lu, pata-pata-pan So let us play the fife and drum Dance and sing with hearts gladsome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Storm Day 03:57
~~~~~~~~~~ STORM DAY ~~~~~~~~~~ Remember days when we were kids And the words “Storm Day” brought a smile to our lips We’d wear our pjs inside-out upside-down And pray like we really meant it Wake up turn on the radio Cross our fingers and toes Sweet weatherman give it to me if not a day a slight delay, I’ll take it CHORUS Just let it snow – I’ve got places to go and people to see How did you know – I needed to lay low and get a second wind ‘Cause when I start thinkin’ about what I’ve made of this season Some of the reasons I put on the show I get out my wish list and write ‘please, just snow’ Decorate, shop and bake my life is a story from the Vinyl Café Everything that could go wrong would fill up a song but few would want to hum along I’m cranky and frankly I’m thinkin’ of taking a cruise to Key Largo, Montego Soakin’ up the sun, nothin’ to be done but reading my book beside the pool CHORUS Bridge Maybe I am hidin’ but I could use some time for remindin’ Christmas is joy and it’s all about the boy And He’s a gift that’s sure worth finding CHORUS Ending Let it snow, let it snow let it snow Let it snow, let it snow let it snow Let it snow ~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OLD MAN WINTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Old Man Winter, where to begin How I wish I could take your sense of wit on the chin Another season of darkness and whimsical starkness Wrapped up in your icy grin Your blanket of sleep tries to comfort me Bring hope that I'll wake again This time of relief from the sun's great heat In your mercy is a gift to me Old Man Winter there you are again It seems just like yesterday we spoke at length I'll learn to like you in the end As I always do when I get over these blues If truth be told even though you're bold There's a gentleness in your touch Although I've complained there are times you take my breath away And if you left for good I'd miss you so much Some may say I'm brave Don't let me slip away Some may find it strange To long for another time and place Mister Winter seems we're out of time Once again you've inspired verse and rhyme For all the grief, the joy, your visits bring You humbly exit the stage once you've opened for Spring ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silent Night 03:38
~~~~~~~~~~~~ SILENT NIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Silent night, Holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and child Holy infant, tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, Holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at thy birth Jesus, Lord at thy birth. Silent night, Holy night Shepherds quake, at the sight Glories stream from heaven above Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
