The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide 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 every mother’s child is gonna spy To see if reindeer Realy know how to fly And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said Many times, many ways Merry christmas to you. Dream A Dream When the night is still And the sea is calm Lonely shadow, you call upon me Lay by my side Fear not tonight Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light Dream a dream And see through angel's eyes A place where we can fly away Ride with me upon a shining star, Above the moonlit sky We will find Elysium Hear the nightingale Sing a lullaby Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light Dawn will be kind, All will be bright, Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness Dream a dream, [etc.] "Oklahoma" Suitcase packed with all his things Car pulls up, the doorbell rings He don't want to go He thought he'd found his home But with circumstances he can't change Waves goodbye as they pull away From the life he's known For the last seven months or so She said we found the man who looks like you Who cried and said he never knew About the boy in pictures that we showed him A rambler in his younger days He knew he made a few mistakes But he swore he would have been there Had he known it Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma A million thoughts raced through his mind What's his name, what's he like and will he be Anything like the man in his dreams She could see the questions in his eyes Whispered "don't be scared my child I'll let you know, what we know About the man we found, he looks like you And cried and said he never knew About the boy in pictures that we showed him A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes But he swore he would've been there Had he known it You always said that this was something that you wanted Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma One last turn he held his breath 'Til they reached the fifth house on the left And all at once the tears came rolling in And as they pulled into the drive A man was waiting there outside Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand And he said I'm the man who looks like you Who cried because I never knew About that boy in pictures that they showed me A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes But I swear I would have been there had I known it Never again will you ever be alone Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
