Some Things I Know Lyrics – Billy Gilman

There's some things I know to be true
Snow is white, and the ocean is blue
Rain is wet, and it falls from the sky
And the stars come out every night

And just as sure as the sun will rise
This love is real, you see in my eyes
Plant a seed and it will grow
Some things I know

There's some things in life I need
Water to drink, air to breathe
A place to rest when I need sleep
When I'm hungry, food to eat

As sure as I need the Lord above
That's how much I need her love
And I need shelter from the cold
Some things I know

There's some things in life I want
To be thankful for all I've got
A friend to talk with, a hand to hold
To still be young when I grow old

And I want all my dreams to come true
And I want to share them all with you
And I just had to tell you so
Some things I know

Oh, I just had to tell you so
There's some things I know.

Shamey, Shamey, Shame Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I sleep with one eye open and
One foot on the floor and
When I see that the coast is clear
I slip right out the door

Some folks think I'm trouble
Bad with a capital B
If I bust your bubble,
Shamey, Shamey, Shame on me
Shamey, Shamey, Shame on me

I keep one hand in my pocket
The other in the cookie jar
I'm one step ahead, give me an inch
I'll take the whole nine yards.

Some folks think I'm trouble (he's trouble)
Bad with a capital B
But If I bust your bubble (he's trouble)
Shamey, Shamey, Shame on me

I'm as innocent as I can be
A little bent on trickery
A little hide and seek
A little tounge in cheek

Oooooooooooooooyeah!!!

Some folks think I'm trouble (trouble!)
Bad with a capitol B
If I bust your bubble (he's trouble!)
Shamey, Shamey, Shame on me
Shamey, Shamey, Shame on me

Shamey, Shamey, Shame
Shamey, Shamey, Shame
Shamey, Shamey, Shame on

Me

White Christmas Lyrics – Billy Gilman

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells 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 Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be white

Warm & Fuzzy Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Sleigh bells ringing
Quire singing,
Wondering what ole Santa's bringing
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year

Snow flakes fall
The temp is dropping
Families out together shopping
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year

Elves are working over time
Making all our toys
Reindeer hooves on all the roofs
Good little girls and boys
Big old cups of steaming cider
Fall asleep by the cozy fire
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year

Elves are working over time
Making all our toys
Reindeer hooves on all the rooves
Good little girls and boys
Big old cup of steaming cider
Fall asleep by the cozy fire

It's the warm and fuzzy time of year
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year

Winter Wonderland Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is he bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a Charlie Brown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other children knocked him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey
And some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

There's A New Kid In Town Lyrics – Billy Gilman

We're looking for the king, the new Messiah
We're following the star shining brighter.
"Old man, won't you help us if you can,"
He shook his head but he pointed his hand.

There's a new kid in town,
And he's lying in a manger down the road.
There's a new kid in town,
But he's just another baby I suppose,
Heaven knows,
There's a new kid in town,
Here in Bethlehem.

I see you've traveled far bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for the new King's pleasures
I've heard that a king might come
But up till now there hasn't been one.

There's a new kid in town,
And he's lying in a manger down the road.
There's a new kid in town,
But he's just another baby I suppose,
Heaven knows,
There's a new kid in town,
Here in Bethlehem.

There's a new kid in town,
And he's lying in a manger down the road.
There's a new kid in town,
But he's just another baby I suppose,
Heaven knows,
There's a new kid in town,
Here in Bethlehem.

Jingle Bell Rock Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

Rockin' Around Christmas Tree Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Rocking around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental
Feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way.

Angels We Have Heard On High (Traditional) Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

See him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Silent Night Lyrics – Billy Gilman

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
Heav'nly host sing Allelluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born

Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ the savior is here
Christ the savior is here

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Away In A Manager (Traditional) Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing,
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes;
I love thee, Lord Jesus,
Look down from the sky

And stay by my cradle till mornight is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray!
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there.

Sleigh Ride Lyrics – Billy Gilman (feat. Charlotte Church)

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. pop! pop! pop!

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffe and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Iives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

O Holy Night Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth
The thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

The thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

"One Voice" (2000)

One Voice Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Some kids have and some don't
And some of us are wondering why
Mom won't watch the news at night
There's too much stuff that's making her cry
We need some help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard

A house, a yard, a neighborhood
Where you can ride your new bike to school
A kind of world where Mom and dad
Still believe in the golden rule
Life's not that simple
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard

One voice, one simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream can change the world
Keep believing
Till you find a way

Yesterday while walking home
I saw some kid on newberry road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below
Thanks for the help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
One voice was heard
One voice was heard

Little Things Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Little things that you do
Make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say
Make me glad that I feel this way.
The way you smile, the way you hold my hand
And when I'm down you always understand.

You know I love those little things that I hear
The little things you whispered in my ear.
I know there ain't nobody else like you.
No one could do the little things you do.

Little things in my ear that you say
When there's no one near.
Little things that you do
Let me know that your love is true.
When we walk you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man.

You know I love those little things that I hear
The little things you whispered in my ear.
I know there ain't nobody else like you.
No one could do the little things you do.

Little things that you do
Make me glad I'm in love with you.
Little things that you say
Make me glad that I feel this way.
When we walk you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man.

You know I love those little things that I hear
The little things you whispered in my ear.
I know there ain't nobody else like you.
No one could do the little things you do.

I Think She Likes Me Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I think she likes me
And I know I like her
It's kind of frightening
'Cause it's too soon to be sure
I think she likes me
Maybe even might be love

Should I be patient
Or should I ask her straight out
That smile she gave me
Don't leave too much room for doubt
I think she likes me
Maybe even might be love

Our first kiss said more than good night
I bet I've relived it a thousand times
I can't predict what the future's gonna bring
But those looks that she's been giving me
Can only mean one thing

I think she likes me
I think she might be the one
And more than likely
The best is still yet to come
I think she likes me
Maybe even might be love

[Repeat bridge]

[Repeat first verse]

What's Forever For Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds

Or maybe it's me that's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these people keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by

So what's the glory in leaving
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for

I've been listening to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe

But I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even trying to keep it alive

So what's the glory in leaving
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for

Spend Another Night Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I instantly knew when I saw you
You and I would be forever
Hearts never apart true from the start
To each other and together
There's nothing we can't do
And until the end of time
If you tell me you'll be mine
I'm Never gonna spend another night
Without you in my dreams
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna reach out to you honestly and try
To give you what you need
With all of my might
'Cause nothing has ever felt so real and so right
I'm never gonna spend another night
(without you)

You are so in my heart
Even alone in the dark I can feel the light of our love shining
We are so meant to be
That we're definitely destiny
And there's no denying
That I love you
Though it's so cliche
There's nothing else to say
I'm Never gonna spend another night
Without you in my dreams
For the rest of my life I'm gonna reach out to you honestly and try
To give you what you need
With all of my might
No love has ever felt so real and so right
I'm never gonna spend another night
(without you)

The Snake Song Lyrics – Billy Gilman

He swallered a frog and hollered yum-yum
He slid down the hillside and darted his tongue
He entered the garden on this bright moonlight night
Then he stopped in his tracks, it was love at first sight

(he said) My skin is black, your skin is green
You dwell in a garden, I live by a stream
Although I'm short and stocky and you're long and lean
I've got a crush on you
Then he squeezed her tighter and tighter and tighter
I've got a crush on you

He said I'm a king snake, and you'll be my queen
With a butler and serpents, and your own private stream
If you refuse me it would be such a shame
Cause I'm so tired of doing my own fang

Then he squeezed her tighter
To excite her and delight her
Oh I've got a crush on you
(and I'll be back tomorrow)

Next day when he got there, a two-legged man
Was holding sweet green thing in his big human hand
A long jet of water shot out of her nose
Ol' king snake had fallen in love with a hose

(he said) My skin is black, your skin is green
You dwell in a garden, I live by a stream
Although You're made of plastic I think you're Fantastic!
I've got a crush on you
I've got a crush on you
(but I don't think it's going to work out)

I Wanna Get To Ya Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I've got a secret I can't keep
I've got my eyes on something sweet
It feels like my heart's pounding through my chest
You've got a smile I can't resist
I get tongue tied, everytime you and I are close like this
Girl, here's my wish

I wanna get to ya
I wanna be the one that moves ya
I wanna give my heart to ya
I want you so much
Girl I know just what I've been missing
I wanna be the one you're kissin'
So open up your arms and listen
I wanna get to ya

I'm the kind of guy who understands
A simple little thing like holding hands
Or x's and o's on a love note sent to you
I'll make you a promise that I'll keep
I'm telling you, right here, right now
I'll get down on my knees
I'll do anything

I wanna get to ya
I wanna be the one that moves ya
I wanna give my heart to ya
I want you so much
Girl I know just what
I've been missing
I wanna be the one you're kissin'
So open up your arms and listen
I wanna get to ya

The way I feel
I know this love is real
Baby, I'm head over heels for you

Oklahoma Lyrics – Billy Gilman

Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't wanna go
He thought he'd found his home
But the circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away
From the life he's known
For the last seven months or so

She said we found the man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name, what's he like and will he be
Anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered "don't be scared my child
I'll let you know, what we know"

About the man we found, he looks like you
And cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would've been there Had he known it
You always said that this was something that you wanted
Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma

One last turn he held his breath
'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rolling in
And as they pulled into the drive
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand

And he said I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew
About that boy in pictures that they showed me
A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma

There's A Hero Lyrics – Billy Gilman

There's a flower
In the smallest garden
Reaching for the light
There's a candle
In the darkest corner
Conquering the night
There is amazing strength
And a willing hand
There are victories
That you've never planned
There's a hero
In everybody's heart

There's a fire
Inside of everybody
Burning clear and bright
There's a power
In the faintest heartbeat
That cannot be denied
Go on and trust yourself
You can ride the wind
Your gonna take your dreams
Where they've never been
There's a hero
In everybody's heart

Go on and trust yourself
You can ride the wind
Your gonna take your dreams
Where they've never been
There's a hero
In everybody's heart
There's a hero
In everybody's heart

Til I Can Make It On My Own Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I'll need time to get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you, from time to time
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own

I'll get by, but no matter how I try
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do,
'Til I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own.

Crying Lyrics – Billy Gilman

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"
Ah you wished me well
You couldn't tell

That I've been cryin' over you
Cryin' over you
Then you said "So long"
Left me standin' all alone
Alone and cryin' (cryin')
Cryin' (cryin'), cryin' (cryin'), cryin'
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me cryin'

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darlin' what can I do
You don't love me and I'll always be

Cryin' over you, cryin' over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be cryin' (cryin')
Cryin' (cryin'), cryin' (cryin'), cryin'
I'm cryin', cryin' over you

Dream A Dream (Elysium) Lyrics – Billy Gilman (feat. Charlotte Church)

When the night is still
And the sea is calm
Lonely shadow, you call upon me

Lay by my side
Fear not tonight
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light

Dream a dream
And see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away

Ride with me upon a shining star,
Above the moonlit sky
We will find Elysium

Hear the nightingale
Sing a lullaby
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light

Dawn will be kind,
All will be bright,
Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness

Dream a dream, [etc.]

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Lyrics – Billy Gilman (feat. Asleep At The Wheel)

You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!

When You Come Home lyrics - billy gilman

My first day of recess
They all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set
And scraped up my knee

The nurse called my Momma
To say I'd be late,
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
"I'm so sorry, son.
Oh I think you're so brave"

And she was smiling when she said:

When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home

I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me

I found a letter from Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote:
I'll miss you, son,
You'll be so far away

And I'll be waiting for the day

When you come home
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home

I don't think
She can hear you now,
The doctor told me
Your mother is fading,
It's best that you leave

So I whispered,
I love you
And then turned away.
But I stopped at the door
When I heard Momma say,
I love you, son,
But they're calling me away

And promise me before I go

When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms;
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home,
When you come home.
