Lord, let this moment last for another year
Though today has ended
The night's still young I’d say
Lover, Don't go away
Let it be the thing that I am longing for
Let’s fly out from Manhattan to the California shore
Just to watch the ships at night on the San Francisco Bay
Oh Lover, please please stay.
Don't say you have to go
Don't say you need to run
I'll stop the clock on central station
And we can have a drink downtown
Let it be the night that I am longing for
Let's fly down south to Austin or to Ecuador
Just to drink pina colada on a hot wet summer’s day
Oh Lover please please stay
Have a laugh, crack a smile, even shed a tear because it’s your birthday!
Pop the cork, pour the flute
Make a wish!
And Don’t forget to count the candles
Now we celebrate with cheers!
Raise your glass to another year
Raise your glass, it's time to have some fun, Happy Birthday!
Yellow cake for another trip around the sun, because it’s your birthday!
Coffee or tea, cream & sugar
Is it time to open presents?!
Friends and loved ones gather near!
Raise your glass to another year
Happy Birthday!
Years may come and years may go
But the sun will rise again tomorrow
Raise your glass I think we’ve had too much to drink, Happy Birthday
One day you’re young and then they say you’re aged like wine or tan as leather
Now we face our greatest fear
Raise your glass to another year
Friends and loved ones gather near
Raise your glass to another year
A candy heart could never be as sweet
As a kiss from you tonight, oh no
Top of the line
All of our favorite love songs play on repeat
Guess I got one thing right
And you’re just in time
I’ve waited all my life for a love to keep
So Baby, will you be my Valentine
‘Cause Valentine it’s
Is every day with you baby
Is every day with you
Is every day with you baby
Partners in crime
We’re always shooting stars when we’re together
Breaking hearts, it’s alright
Like the sunrise
We found a spark so bright, it’ll shine forever
So Baby, will you be my Valentine
‘Cause Valentine is
Is every day with you baby
Is every day with you
Is every day with you baby
Sweet Valentine
You’re so much more than just four letters to me
You’re every day and every night
Valentine
‘Cause Valentine it’s
Is every day with you baby
Is every day with you
Is every day with you baby
Top of the line
Our favorite love songs play on repeat
I guess I got one thing right
And you’re just in time
I’ve waited all my life for a love to keep
So Baby, will you be my Valentine
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Everybody on the dance floor
Dance to the rock and roll
I know a girl sweet as can be
She likes to Rock and Roll with me
She shakes it to the left
Shakes it to the right
She tells me that we’re alright
She says “Hey Baby” let the good times roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Light it up and have some fun
We’re dancing ‘till the morning sun
I don’t do the mash potato
I don’t do the twist
I’m staring at the ground
looking like a clown
Not moving my hips
So strike up the band
I’m not gonna stand when I hear drums hit!
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Light it up and have some fun
dancing ‘till the morning sun
Shake for me baby
Shake for me baby
Shake for me baby
Shake for me baby
Shake it around
Dancing ‘till the morning sun
Baby baby
Baby baby
Shake for me baby
Lets have some fun
dancing ‘till the morning sun
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake Shake, Rock & Roll
Let’s have some fun
dancing ‘till the morning sun
It’s Christmas
Hear the sleigh bells?
It’s Christmas...
time
It’s Christmas time!
Grab your coat
It’s getting cold
Just look at the falling snow
There’s Seasons greetings,
Happy meetings
Oh, and a little bit of mistletoe
They’re decorating the Christmas tree
With a star on top for you and me
Can you hear the sleigh bells?
It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time!
Way up North
They’re making toys
For every little girl and boy
Who mailed in letters
Cause they’ve been better
So much better than the year before
Santa’s crossing off every wish
Even moms and dads have made the list
Can you hear the sleigh bells?
It’s Christmas time
The sound of sleigh bells on reindeer
Only comes this time of year
With Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Run, run Rudolf or you will be missed when -
Santa Claus
Gets his paws
On his red sleigh
When his elves
clear the shelves
He’ll go flying on his merry way
He’s spreading joy all along the ride
All around the world in one night
Can you hear the sleigh bells?
It’s Christmas time!
It’s Christmas time!
I only have one wish for that shooting star
Holy night
Send me someone to love so I can
Hold their hand while we're ice skating
Round the tree in central park
Kiss 'em under the mistletoe
Oh I want a Christmas kind of spark
Santa Claus, do you know Cupid?
Send his arrow
Straight to my heart
I want to fall in love this Christmas
Santa, that would be the greatest gift of all
Turtle doves
And all my favorite things come in sets of two
So does love
Send me someone I can talk to
We'll share stories of our childhood memories of Christmas past
Chestnuts on an open fire
Add another log to make it last
We'll build frosty the snowman
And dance along with the Christmas band
And then we'll frolic like two old love birds
Walking around a winter wonderland
Santa Claus, do you know Cupid?
Send his arrow
Straight to my heart
I want to fall in love this Christmas
Santa, that would be the greatest gift of all
Send me an extra stocking
To hang next to me
On the wall, oh Santa
Send me a love for Christmas
That would be the greatest gift of all
Send me a love for Christmas,
That would be the greatest gift, oh Santa!

Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps

Happy Birthday
Raise your glass to another year
Friends and loved ones gather near
Raise your glass to another..
