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

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

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

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.



2. Walking In The Air (Theme from 'The Snowman' - written by Howard Blake)

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from it's sleep

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly



3. December Revisited 

There's a Victorian tin, I keep my memories in,
I found it up in the attic.
After looking inside, I find the things that I'm hiding...
The leaves saved from a mistletoe kiss,
Only nostalgia has me feeling like this...
Like I miss you,
It must be the time of year.

Remember December,
It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream,
Remember December,
A fall of snow and the afterglow.
It could be taking our breath away
But the years stand in the way,
Remember December,
How does it make you feel inside ?

Beneath a Valentine, I see a locket is shining
I think it must be the wine,
Makes me feel it's all real.
Where nothing seems to rhyme
To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake
I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake
Or a heartache,
It must be the time of year.
Remember...

Should I feel this alone, should I pick up the phone
Should I call you up and wish you 'Happy Christmas' ?
I feel so alone, should I pick up the phone
Take my heart in my hand
And ask if you remember...



4. Melting 

Here's the last chance for the last train home
Lasting forever and ever
Speeding through all the green lights
Don't let winter make you colder
Be the angel at my shoulder
Needing you is ok tonight

  Dark nights
  Strangers passing by
  Streetlights illuminate 'goodbyes'
  Snow falls like stars fall from the skies
  Melting

  Full moon in the midnight blue
  Shining on a city made for two
  Can you imagine it were true ?
  Melting
  Melting

See you somewhere
See you sometime soon
See you in the frozen white city
You know it can't be just anywhere

Meet you somehow
Meet you down in town
Meet you halfway in the city
You know you can't be just anyone

  Dark nights
  Strangers passing by
  Streetlights illuminate goodbyes
  Snow falls like stars fall from the sky
  Melting

  Full moon in the midnight blue
  Shining on a city made for two
  Can you imagine it were true ?
  Melting
  Melting

6. A Winter's Tale (Queen)

It's Winter-fall, Red skies are gleaming, oh
Sea-gulls are flying over, Swans are floating by 
Smoking chimney-tops, am I dreaming 
Am I dreaming? 

The nights draw in 
There's a silky moon up in the sky, yeah 
Children are fantasizing, Grown-ups are standing by
What a super feeling, am I dreaming 
Am I dreaming? 
Wo, wo, wo, wo

[dreaming] So quiet and peaceful
[dreaming] Tranquil and blissful 
[dreaming] There's a kind of magic in the air
[dreaming] What a truly magnificient view 
[dreaming] A breathtaking scene 
With the dreams of the world in the palm of your hand 

[dreaming] A cosy fireside chat 
[dreaming] A little this, a little that
[dreaming] Sound of merry laughter skipping by
[dreaming] Gentle rain beating on my face 
[dreaming] What an extraordinary place! 

And the dream of the child is the hope -of the hope- of the man
It's all so beautiful, like a landscape painting in the sky, yeah
Mountains are zooming higher, mmm 
Little girls scream and cry 
My world is spinning, and spinning, and spinning
It's unbelievable, sends me reeling 
Am I dreaming, Am I dreaming 
Oooh it's bliss
