Lyrics:

We waited all through the year

for the day to appear

when we could be together in harmony

You know the time will come

peace on earth for everyone

and we can live forever in a world where we are free

let it shine for you and me

There's something about Christmas time

something about Christmas time

that makes you wish it was Christmas everyday

To see the joy in the children's eyes

the way that the old folks smile

says that Christmas will never go away

We're all as one tonight

makes no difference if you're black or white

'cause we can sing together in harmony

I know it's not too late

the world would be a better place

if we can keep the spirit more

than one day in the year

send a message loud and clear

[Chorus:]

It's the time of year when everyone's together

we'll celebrate here on Christmas day

when the ones you love are there

you can feel the magic in the air

you know it's everywhere

something about Christmas time

that makes you wish it was Christmas every day

To see the joy in the children's eyes

the way that the old folks smile

says that Christmas will never go away

Lyrics in Portuguese:

(Chorus):

É a época do ano, quando todos juntos

vamos comemorar aqui no dia de Natal

quando o que você ama estão lá

que faz com que você gostaria que fosse Natal todos os dias

Always somewhere Sinto a tua falta onde eu estiver

Miss you where I've been Eu estarei de Volta pr ate amar.

Another morning another place

The only day off is far away

But every city has seen me in the end

And brings me to you again

Always somewhere

Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again

Lyrics-Beautiful

Lately I've been hard to reach

I´ve been too long on my own

Everybody has a private world

where they can be alone

Are you calling me?

Are you trying to get through?

Are you reaching out for me?

And I'm reaching out for you?

[Eminem]

I'm just so fucking depressed I just cant seem to get out this slump

If I could just get over this hump but

I need something to pull me out this dump

I took my bruises took my lumps fell down and I got right back up

But i need that spark to get psyched back up and in order for me to pick the mic back up

I dont know how or why or when I ended up this position i'm in

I'm started to feel dissin' again so I decided just to pick this pen

Up and try to make an attempt to vent but i just cant admit

Or come to grips the fact that I may be done with rap I need a new outlet

And I know some shits so hard to swallow but I cant just sit back and wallow

In my own sorrow but I know one fact i'll be one tough act to follow

One tough act to follow I'll be one tough act to follow

Here today gone tomorrow but you'd have to walk a thousand miles

[Chorus]

In my shoes, just to see

What its like, to be me

Ill be you, lets trade shoes

Just to see what id be like

feel your pain, you feel mine

Go inside eachothers minds

Just to see what we'd find

Look at shit through eachothers eyes

But don't let them say you ain't beautiful

They can all get fucked just stay true to you

So don't let them say you ain't beautiful

They can all get fucked just stay true to you

[Eminem]

I think im starting to lose my sense of humor everythings so tense and gloom

I almost fee like I gotta check the temperature of the room just as soon as I walk in I'ts like all eyes on me I try to avoid any contact

Cuz if I do that then it opens the door for conversation like I want that

Im not looking for extra attention I just want to be just like you

Blend in with the rest of the room maybe just point me to the closest restroom

I dont need no fucking man servant tryin ta follow me around and try to wipe my ass

Laugh at every single joke i crack and half of them aint even funny like hahhhhh

"marshall your so funny man you should be a comedian god damn"

Unfortunately i am i just hide behind the tears of a clown

So why dont you all sit down

Listen to the tale that im about to tell

Hell we dont gotta trade our shoes

And you dont gotta walk no thousand miles

[Chorus]

In my shoes, just to see

What its like, to be me

Ill be you, lets trade shoes

Just to see what id be like

feel your pain, you feel mine

Go inside eachothers minds

Just to see what we'd find

Look at shit through eachothers eyes

But don't let them say you aint beautiful

They can all get fucked just stay true to you

So don't let them say you aint beautiful

They can all get fucked just stay true to you

[Eminem]

Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we're dealt

We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip em dont expect no help

Now I could have either just stayed at home sit on my ass and pissed and moaned

Or take this situation with which im placed in and get up and kick my own

I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags

And sat on the porch and hope and prayed for a dad to show up who never did

I just wanted to fit in in every single place every school i went

I dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid

aunt edna always told me keep making that face and it'll get stuck like that

Meanwhile im just standing there holding my tongue trynwa twalk like dwis

Then i stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old

I learned my lesson then cuz i wasn't trying to impress my friends no more

But i already told you my whole life story not just based on my description

Cuz where you see it from where your sittin its probably 110% different

I guess we would have to walk a mile in eachothers shoes at least

What size you wear? I wear tens lets see if you can fit your feet

[Chorus]

In my shoes, just to see

What its like, to be me

I'll be you, lets trade shoes

Just to see what it'd be like

To feel your pain, you feel mine

Go inside eachothers minds

Just to see what we'd find

Look at shit through eachothers eyes

But don't let them say you aint beautiful

They can all get fucked just stay true to you

So don't let them say you aint beautiful…So

3- Remember those walls I built

Well, baby they are tumbling down

And they didn't even put up a fight

They didn't even make a sound

I found a way to let you in

But I never really had a doubt

Standing in the light of your halo

I got my angel now

It's like I've been awaken

Every rule I had to break

It's the risk that I'm taking

I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray won't fade away

(I can feel your halo)

Halo

(I can see your halo)

Halo, halo

(I can feel your halo)

Halo, halo

(I can see your halo)

Halo, halo

Hit me like a ray of sun

Burning through my darkness night

You're the only one that I want

I got addicted to your lie

I swore I'd never fall again

But this don't even feel like falling

Gravity came again

To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awaken

Every rule I had to break

It's the risk that I'm taking

I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray won't fade away

(I can feel your halo)

Halo

(I can see your halo)

Halo, halo

(I can feel your halo)

Halo, halo

Halo, halo

Halo, halo

Halo

Halo

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

It's written all over your face

Pray won't fade away

Song Lyrics

It's funny 'cause for a while

I walked around with a smile

But deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right

Don't you know it's not for you

I always knew what I had to do

But it's hard to get away

Because I love you

I just tried to stay

u used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And I know inside it'll be alright

u said I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

Friends of mine say to me

They say you got control over me

You're not alone

I played a part

I saw the way you were from the start

Could I expect so much from you

You had a girl when I first met you

Did the best that you could do

Now I realize that I can't change you

u used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And I know inside it'll be alright

u said I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

Said I wouldn't walk away

Somedays I want to stay

But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay

Never thought it would be true

Me livin' without you

But now it's time for me to make a move

I used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

I´m Yours

Singer-Janson Mraz

Nacionality-American

Age-33years old

Albuns:The Remedy, A Jason Mraz Demonstration e Tonight, not again: Jason Mraz live at the Eagles Ballroom

song:

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest

and nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love love love

Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me

I like peaceful melody

it’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love

loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate, our time is short

this is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

My breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I am saying is there ain't no better reason

to rid you of vanity and just go with the seasons

it’s what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate, our time is short

It cannot wait, I'm yours

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate, our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours

Please don't, please don't, please don't

There's no need to complicate

Cause our time is short

this oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!
