  1. Arrival
  2. Sing, sing, sing the song they sang with us
    When they sailed away
    Bring, bring, bring them back again
    To these lonely shores one day

    We'll be here awaiting their arrival
    How that moment's gonna shine
    May they ring then in our hearts
    The jubilant bells of "Auld Lang Syne"

    Sing, sing, sing the sing of sirens
    If that is what it takes
    Bring, bring, bring them back again
    To each lonely heart that aches

    I'll be first to know of your arrival
    I'll be first to pour the wine
    May they ring then in our hearts
    The jubilant bells of "Auld Lang Syne"

    Sing, sing, sing a song of sadness
    That they are so long gone
    Bring, bring, bring a ray of hope
    And the courage to go on

    We'll be here awaiting their arrival
    How that moment's gonna shine
    May they ring then in our hearts
    The jubilant bells of "Auld Lang Syne"

  3. Colder Than Winter
  4. It's colder than winter
    Right here in my heart
    Yes, I'm going to miss him
    He's torn me apart

    Couldn't make you love me
    Couldn't give you any more
    It's colder than winter
    Since you closed the door

    Every time the sun sets
    I shed another tear
    And the lonelier I get
    Wishing you were still here

    It's colder than winter
    I'm freezing inside
    My tears won't be bitter
    Even though our love died

    Couldn't make you love me
    I couldn't give you any more
    It's colder than winter
    Since you closed the door

    It's colder than winter
    Since you closed the door

  5. Ave Maria [Duet with Fernando Lima)
  6. Las manos de una madre
    La sonrisa de los ninos
    Y el amor
    Rompen las fronteras que separan
    Credos, razas y color
    Porque nuestro mundo encuentre paz
    Y por los que no han nacido

    Ave Maria, Ave Maria
    Gratia plena madre saneta
    Gratia plena
    Oh Madre Saneta

    Ave Maria, Ave Maria
    Porque el milagro
    Es la magia del amor
    Que nos uen

    A pesar de toda la violencia
    La tristeza y el dolor
    Despues de que termina la tormenta
    Para todos brilla el sol
    Para recordarnos que el amor
    Es capaz de lo Impossible

    Ave Maria
    Porque la esperanza
    Sea la luz del corazon
    Para siempre

    Ave Maria
    Porque el milagro
    es la magia del amor
    Gratia Madre
    Ave Maria

  7. Silent Night
  8. Silent night, holy night
    All is calm, all is bright
    Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
    Holy Infant so tender and mild
    Sleep in heavenly peace
    Sleep in heavenly peace

    Silent night, holy night
    Shepherds quake at the sight
    Glories stream from heaven afar
    Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
    Christ the Saviour is born
    Christ the Saviour is born

  9. In the Bleak Midwinter
  10. In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
    Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
    Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
    In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

    Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
    Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
    In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
    The lord God almighty, jesus christ.

    Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
    Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
    But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
    Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.

    What can I give him, poor as I am?
    If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
    If I were a wise man, I would do my part;
    Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.

  11. I've Been This Way Before
  12. I’ve seen the light
    And I’ve seen the flame
    And I’ve been this way before
    And I’m sure to be this way again
    For I’ve been refused
    And I’ve been regained
    And I’ve seen your eyes before
    And I’m sure to see your eyes again
    Once again

    For I’ve been released
    And I’ve been regained
    And I’ve sung my song before
    And I’m sure to sing my song again
    Once again

    Some people got to laugh
    Some people got to cry
    Some people got to make it through
    By never wondering why

    Some people got to sing
    Some people got to sigh
    Some people never see the light
    Until the day they die

    But I’ve been released
    And I’ve been regained
    And I’ve been this way before
    And I’m sure to be this way again
    Once again
    One more time again
    Just one more time

  13. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
  14. Jesu, joy of man's desiring
    Holy wisdom, love most bright
    Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring soar to uncreated light
    Word of God
    Our flesh that fashioned with the fire of life impassioned
    Striving still to truth unknown
    Soaring, dying round Thy throne

  15. Child in a Manger
  16. Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
    Outcast and Stranger, Lord of us all
    Child Who inherits all our transgressions
    All our demerits upon Him fall

    Once the most holy Child of salvation
    Gently and lowly lived here below
    Now as our glorious mighty Redeemer
    See Him victorious o’er each foe

    Prophets foretold Him, Infant of wonder
    Angels behold Him on His throne
    Worthy our Savior of all our praises
    Happy forever are His own

  17. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
  18. When the snowman brings the snow
    Well he just might like to know
    He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
    If you jump into your bed
    Quickly cover up your head
    Don't you lock the doors
    You know that sweet Santa Claus in on the way

    Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
    When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
    Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
    So let the bells ring out for Christmas

    When you're skating in the park
    If the snow cloud makes it dark
    Then your rosy cheeks gonna light my merry way
    Now the frosty paws appear
    And they've frozen up my ear
    So we'll lie by the fire
    'til the sleet simply knocks 'em all away

    Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
    When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
    Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
    So let the bells ring out for Christmas

    When the snowman brings the snow (when the snowman brings the snow)
    Well he just might like to know (well he just might like to know)
    He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
    So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh)
    All along the Milky Way (along the Milky Way)
    I'll sign my name on the rroftop in the snow
    Then he may decide to stay

    Why don't you give your love for Christmas?

    (when the snowman brings the snow)
    (when the snowman brings the snow)
    (when the snowman brings the snow)
    (when the snowman brings the snow)
    (when the snowman brings the snow)
    (when the snowman brings the snow)

  19. Amazing Grace
  20. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost but now am found
    Was blind but now I see

    The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
    The sun forbear to shine
    But God, who brought me here below
    Will be forever mine

    Through Him many dangers toils and snares
    I have already come
    It was grace that brought me here thus far
    And grace will lead me home

  21. Ave Maria
  22. Ave Maria
    Gratia plena
    Dominus tecum
    Benedicta tu in mulieribus
    Et benedictus fructus
    Ventris tui, Jesus
    Santa Maria, Santa Maria
    Maria, Ora pro nobis
    Nobis pecatoribus
    Nunc et in ora
    Mortis nostrae
    Amen

  23. I Believe in Father Christmas
  24. They said there'll be snow at Christmas
    They said there'll be peace on Earth
    But instead it just kept on raining
    A veil of tears for the virgin birth
    I remember one Christmas morning
    A winter's light and a distant choir
    And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
    And eyes full of tinsel and fire

    They sold me a dream of Christmas
    They sold me a Silent Night
    And they told me a fairy story
    'Till I believed in the Israelite
    And I believed in Father Christmas
    And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
    'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
    And I saw him and through his disguise

    I wish you a hopeful Christmas
    I wish you a brave New Year
    All anguish pain and sadness
    Leave your heart and let your road be clear
    They said there'll be snow at Christmas
    They said there'll be peace on Earth
    Hallelujah Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
    The Christmas you get you deserve
