Nagrania

Frank Sinatra - Let it snow

"A niech pada" - piosenka ostatnio kojarzącą nam się m.in. z reklamą kawy rozpuszczalnej ;)

Nr 5 - Frank Sinatra - Let it snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

SONG: All I want for Christmas is you - Mariah Carey

Dzisiaj już trzecia piosenka, kojarząca się nam ze świętami.

Nr 3 - Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)

SONG: Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea

Dziś kolejna świąteczna piosenka, aż milej jedzie się do domu, słysząc tę piosenkę w radiu :)

Nr 2. - Chris Rea - Driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tail-lights
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
I am driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tail-lights
Oh, I got red lights on the run
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories 

Sezon świątecznych piosenek - Last Christmas

Święta tuż tuż, a my jak co roku ciągle słyszymy w radiu te same, świąteczne piosenki. Zaczynam przedstawiać serię takich piosenek

Nr 1. Last Christmas - Wham

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away.
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. x2

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it.
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again.

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away.
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. x2

A crowded room,
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice.
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away.
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. x2

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart.
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone,
I'll give it to someone special.
Special. Someone. Someone.
I'll give it to someone...
