WHITE CHRISTMAS
I’m dreaming of the white Christ-
mas,
Just like the once we used to know,
While the treetops glisten’ and child-
ren listen
To hear sladebells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmas be
white.
AN HOUR NEVER PASSES
Ev’ry moment is for you, dear
Thru the night and thru the day
Sixty heartbeats ev’ry minute
All the time that you’re away:
An hour never passes but I think
of you
An hour never passes but I miss
you, too
Ev’ry day from dawning till the
moonlight’s glow
You’re beside me, darling, ev’ry-
where I go
An hour never passes, a clock ne-
ver chimes
But I keep recalling those old
happy times
Without my prayer for you in each
lonely sigh
An hour never passes by.
OVER THERE
Over there, Over there,
Send the word, send the word, Over there,
That thé Yanks are coming, the Yanks are
coming,
The drums rum-tum-ming ev’ery where
So prepare, say a prayer,
Send the word, send the word to beware,
And we wont come back till it’s over,
Over there.
DIXIE
I wish I was in de land of cotton
Old times dar am forgotton
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie land.
In Dixie land whar I was born in
Barly on one frosty mornin.
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie land.
Don’ I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! hooray!
In Dixie land I’ll take my stand to lib and
die in Dixie
Away! Away! Away down south in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down south in Dixie!
LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART
Let me call you Sweetheart
I’m in love witli you
Let me hear you whisper
That you love me too.
Keep the lovelight glowing
In your e.ves so blue.
Let me call you Sweetheart
I’m in love with you.
MOONLIGHT BAY
We were smling along, on Moonlight Bay,
You could hear the voices singing, they
seemed to say.
You have stolen my heart, now dont go
away,
As we sing loves old sweet song on Moon-
light Bay.
