ENDLESS CHRISTMAS

If you want to know what's really wrong with Christmas Here's what I would certainly reply It just goes by too fast, when you know that it should last Way past the 4th of July. So if I could have just one gift this Christmas I'd wish upon the brightest star above To send me down an Endless Christmas And fill each day with unending Love...and Joy...and Peace... 'Cause I want Christmas endlessly. At Christmastime we send out season's greetings To all our friends and loved ones far and near Packages to buy and Christmas cards to write But what about the rest of the year? So I'm makin' up my mind this December To remember why the first Christmas was And try to keep that candle glowing And fill each day with unending Love....and Joy ...and Peace.... 'Cause I want Christmas endlessly I'm gonna hang on to that Christmas spirit I won't let it melt away like winter snow I'm gonna do my very best to share it And shower it on everyone I know... So when I'm takin' down the tinsle and the holly And I'm packing all those ornaments away I won't have to miss having Christmas If I never let the feeling get away 'Cause I can have an Endless Christmas If I celebrate it everyday With Love...and Peace.. Christmas goes on endlessly. Words & music by Joni Bishop / copyright L&G Music-Al Gallico ASCAP

TOYS

Chorus: Toys, Toys, Christmas Toys Lightin' up the faces of the girls and boys I can't think of a greater joy than Givin' those Christmas Toys! Mom and Dad are still in bed, Matthew's wide awake instead Down the stairs comes sneakin', careful not to speak And he only wants to take a peek and open up the Christmas toys! There's trucks and dolls and basketballs And a wind-up puppy that walks Spiderman and a Raggetty Ann And a brand new set of buildin' blocks... Chorus: Toys, Toys, Christmas Toys Lightin' up the faces of the girls and boys I can't think of a greater joy than Givin' those Christmas Toys! Little John just learned to spell, he wrote a letter very well He used a yellow crayon and licked the stamp so it'd stay on Mr. Santa don't delay on bringin' those Christmas toys! There's trucks and dolls and basketballs And a wind-up puppy that walks Spiderman and a Raggetty Ann And a brand new set of buildin' blocks... Chorus: Toys, Toys, Christmas Toys Lightin' up the faces of the girls and boys I can't think of a greater joy than Givin' those Christmas Toys! The kids have all gone off to sleep, presents safe under the tree But Dad just wants a bit of all the fun, they really had a ball Now he's the biggest kid of all, playin' with the Christmas Toys! Chorus: Toys, Toys, Christmas Toys Lightin' up the faces of the girls and boys I can't think of a greater joy than Givin' those Christmas Toys!

CHRISTMAS DAY ALL OVER AGAIN

Away in a manger in Bethlehem town Jesus was born on Christmas day.... The wisemen came and they gathered around When Jesus was born on Christmas day...... And like that sage, if I follow the Star Straight to the cradle of my heart And I open the door and let His love pour in It's Christmas day all over again! Chistmas day all over again! Now, the world was in trouble and in darkness deep When Jesus was born on Christmas day.... He made a lame man walk, He made a blind man see Jesus was born for you and for me..... He's my fortress, He's my rock Jesus stands at my heart and He knocks And if I open the door and let His love pour in It's Christmas day all over again! Christmas day all over again! Christmas day all over again! Words and music by Joni Bishop / copyright L & G Music-Al Gallico ASCAP
