How It All Began
(Cherie Call)
A busy street is sparkling, and Santa Claus is ringing a bell while people
Hustle by the twinkle lights in the snowy night, they carry their bags and boxes
There’s mistletoe and candles glow, all for a night far away and so long ago
When a man and his wife searched through the streets
For a soft place to rest and it turned out to be
Just a stable with hay
That’s where they laid a new baby
That’s how it all began
Now there’s candy canes and window panes are painted with the scenes from a light filled manger
There’s gingerbread and slippery sleds and parties where the children sing old time carols
And Christmas trees are shimmering and way at the top there’s a sign from so long ago
When a star in the sky glistened and gleamed
And then journeys began for wise men and kings
And the angels proclaimed for shepherds to seek for a baby
That’s how it all began
Hearts get a little more tender
Whenever we start to remember
And the lights and the candles glow brighter
And the songs are so full of delight for
The king of all kings and the promise of peace
And we all can rejoice and fall to our knees
for the chance for new life that all came to be from a baby
That’s how it all began

Christmas Crush
(Cherie Call)
It’s a snowy night, crazy and quiet at the same time
Just like this heart of mine, secretly pounding with you right by my side
I slide and slip on the icy streets
And my heartbeat skips when you grab me
So I don’t fall down, but you don’t know that I’m long gone
Darlin I fear if you look too close you’ll know it’s true
I’ve got a Christmas crush on you
My cheeks get rosy red, I’m blaming it all on the chilly air
You’re trying not to stare, so you look away and them we both start laughing
And then I’m all lit up like the street lamps
At the sidewalk sale, you ask me to dance
As the carols play, and everything’s crowded but there’s just you
Darlin I fear if you look too close you’ll know it’s true
I’ve got a Christmas crush on you
I swear that I never told a soul
But I’m starting to think maybe you already know
I don’t know how the word gets around
Somehow it’s the talk of the town, or it seems I’m an open book
Take a good look and you’ll know it’s true
I’ve got a Christmas crush on you

Come Home
(Cherie Call)
I’m holding out for a miracle this Christmas
Only a few days left and we’ve got the perfect snow
Baby you and I don’t live on 34th street
But I still think we’ve got some magic of our own
Come home, baby, I’ve been waiting
I miss you more than you could ever know
Stars are gleaming, and the kids are dreaming
Baby, all that’s left is for you to come home
Staying up late isn’t all that fun without you
I’ve watched all the hallmark shows and I’ve eaten all the junk food
I just wish that you were here for me to talk to
And these arms just feel so empty all alone
Come home, baby, I’ve been waiting
I miss you more than you could ever know
Stars are gleaming, and the kids are dreaming
Baby, all that’s left is for you to come home
The only Christmas lights I need
Are your headlights in the driveway just in time
Come home, baby, I’ve been waiting
I miss you more than you could ever know
Stars are gleaming, and the kids are dreaming
Baby, all that’s left is for you to come home

All About The Baby
(Lyndy Butler/Cherie Call)
Three wise men from far, far away
They knew just what to give the baby on His birthday
And the little drummer boy wrote the baby a song and he played it to the beat of his heart
And all the little towns have Christmas pageants
And the kids do their best playing every part
Chorus:
And I still believe that love is the gift that the baby needs
Even when He grows to be a king
And I still believe that angels hover near when the children sing,
"Peace on earth", "Away in a Manger", it's all about the baby
And love is all He needs
A glittered pinecone, a picture of a lamb
So many simple gifts made tenderly by tiny hands
And the kindness in a heart shines as bright as the star
of Bethlehem from long ago
And all the world seems a little bit softer
All wrapped up in a blanket of snow
(chorus)
And I give my heart to him every day
Though the boy in the hay has long since risen
(chorus)
