Christmas in our Hearts
Jose Mari Chan

Whenever I see girls and boys
selling lanterns on the streets
i remember the Child
in the manger as He sleeps
wherever there are people
giving gifts, exchanging cards
i believe that Christmas
is truly in their hearts

[refrain]
Let’s light our Christmas trees
for a bright tomorrow
where nations are at peace
and all are one in God

[chorus]
Let’s sing Merry Christmas
and a happy holiday
this season, may we never forget
the love we have for Jesus
let Him be the One to guide us
as another new year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas
be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song
the community unites
celebrating the birth
of our Savior, Jesus Christ

let love, like that starlight
on that first Christmas morn
lead us back to the manger
where Christ the Child was born

So, come let us rejoice
come and sing a Christmas carol
with one big joyful voice
proclaim the name of the Lord!

[repeat chorus 2x]

Be always in our hearts

A Perfect Christmas
Jose Mari Chan

[verse 1]
My idea of a perfect Christmas
Is to spend it with you
In a party
Or dinner for two
Anywhere would do
Celebrating the yuletide season
Always lights up our lives
Simple pleasures are made special too
When their shared with you

[verse 2]
Looking through some old photographs
Faces of friends we’ll always remember
Watching busy shoppers rushing about
In the cool breeze of December
Sparkling lights, all over town
Children’s carols in the air
By the Christmas tree
A shower of stardust on your hair

[chorus]
I cant think of a better Christmas
Than my wish coming true
And my wish is you’d let me spend my whole life with you

[repeat verse 2]

[repeat chorus]

My idea of a perfect Christmas is to spend it with you

Christmas Past
Jose Mari Chan

The sound of bells at early dawn
Like music from afar
Soft gentle breeze, the world at peace
A solitary star

Those joyful hymns and warm hellos
The candycanes and colored bows
All these and love are memories of
My Christmas past

Those wondrous toys of girls and boys
The cheer that Santa brings
That glorious tale of sheperd boys
Of angels and of kings

A christmas tree with lights aglow
Some cotton snow and mistletoe
All these and love are memories of
My Christmas past

Silver and gold, red and green
Colors of a wonderful scene
Memories they keep returning
And I’m like a child again

If there’s a place in time and space
Where christmas past has gone
I’ll surely try if I could fly
To see that early dawn

And share again that Christmas past
With all those who have gone
But those memories will forever live
Within my heart

Beautiful Girl
Jose Mari Chan

Beautiful girl, wherever you are
I knew when I saw you, you had opened the door
I knew that I’d love again after a long, long while
I’d love again
You said “hello” and I turned to go
But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I’d love again after a long, long while
I’d love again

[chorus]
It was destiny’s game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone

Whenever you are, I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I’ve loved again after a long, long while
I’ve loved again

[repeat chorus]

Beautiful girl, I’ll search on for you
‘Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You’ve made me love again after a long, long while
In love again
And I’m glad that it’s you
Hmm, beautiful girl

Can’t We Start Over Again
Jose Mari Chan

It’s been a long long while
I know I’ve caused you pain
Living without you it’s not quite the same
Can we start over again

I played around to long
Running from end to end
Took you for granted
I’ve been such a fool
Can’t we start over again

All through my life for season
No matter how far I long
Always theres something
Missing inside yearning to come back home

You are the one I can turn
To love only lights leads the way
Give us this chance start over again
Darling I’m coming home to stay

Please Be Careful With My Heart
Jose Mari Chan & Regine Velasquez

If you love me like you tell me please be careful with my heart
You can take it just don’t break it or my world will fall apart
You are my first romance and I’m willing to take a chance
That ’til life is through I’ll still be loving you
I will be true to you just a promise from you will do
From the very start please be careful with my heart

I love you and you know I do there’ll be no one else for me
Promise I’ll be always true for the world and all to see
Love has heard some lies softly spoken
And I have had my heart badly broken
I’ve been burned and I’ve been hurt before

So I know just how you feel trust my love is real for you
I’ll be gentle with your heart I’ll caress it like the morning dew
I’ll be right beside you forever I won’t let your world fall apart
From the very start I’ll be careful with your heart

You are my first (and you are my last) romance
And I’m willing to take a chance (I’ve learned from the past)
That ’til life is through I’ll still be loving you
I will be true to you (only to you)
Just a promise from you will do
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start please be careful with (I’ll be careful with) (my your heart)
