Toni Braxton Album

Written by Toni Braxton, Keri Lewis, Tamar Braxton

I'm sitting and waiting for you
'cause you said you're on your way
I'm so excited 'cause this is my favorite holiday

(Gifts are under the tree, dinner for you
and me, how special it will be)
'Cause you and I are here...
(Make all your favorite treats,
so glad that it will be)
You and me on this Christmas holiday...

Holiday, celebrate, making out with my babe
Holiday, in the snow, kissing under mistletoe...

I'm thinking about all the things we can do
when I see you tonight
I'm so excited 'cause everybody's here,
so let's dance all night...

(We'll be counting down to two, Crystal for me
and you, that's what we came to do)
We came to have some fun
(Joy and laughter's in the air,
so glad that we can share)
You and me on this Christmas day...

Chorus

All of the things I'm gonna do
celebrating with you, baby
All of the things I'm gonna do
when we're alone, oh, baby...
We're gonna
Go insane, dance in snowy rain,
even drink champagne
Baby, I can't wait to be alone and celebrate

We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica here we come...
We'll just sail on, just sail...

Lovers frolickin'
Playin' in the sand
Got my Coppertone
Getting on my tan

Exotic setting for a
Lady and her man
A perfect little holiday
Sounds like a plan

We can stay in bed all afternoon
we can make out to some cool Reggae tunes
We can sail under the light of the moon
Wish we could freeze this moment
then it wouldn't end so soon...

Chorus

Unplug the phones, y'all
Don't need no calls
No callin' home
Take a break from it all...

'Cause we both grown
And we can do whatever, see?
Baby, it's just you and me
Let's live out a fantasy

Hiking in the mountains, romantic rendezvous
Bathing in the fountains, stop-let me look at you...
Just in case you're doubtin', let me paint a view
Picture you're in heaven, everything is true

Written by Toni Braxton, Keri Lewis, Isaac Hayes

On this day, snowy day
Let me thank you for the joy you're giving me...
I'm so happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me
winter bliss when we kiss
Every wish my lips could see
I'm so happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

Snowy day
Would you please take me away
Away with you...
Hold me so closely
Like the moonlight lights the sky...

In my dreams of soft winter breeze
Eases my mind, but when I wake
there's nothing but leaves
Still, I'm happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

Oh, how I imagine the day we met
And those tingles from those little butterflies...
Reminiscing, I get so happy
I just break down and cry

Candlelight burning bright
Underneath a cool, starry night
You and me, endlessly, it's the greatest gift
that love could give to me

On this day, snowy day
Let me thank you for the joy you've given to me...
I'm so happy...

Written by Vince Guaraldi, Lee Mendelson

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see

Written by Toni Braxton, Keri Lewis

Santa, please, will you help me
'cause I'm all alone with my Christmas tree...
See, my honey's on his way, his flight's delayed
Can you bring him on your sleigh?
'Cause time is going

Slowly dragging me along...
Santa, please bring my man home...

Santa, please, will you help me
'cause I'm all alone and so unhappy...
See, I need my baby here to hold me tight
Can you bring him here tonight?
'cause time is going

Chorus

Santa, please, please help me

'cause I'm all alone and I need, I need...
Up to now I've been real good, so tell me why
Why is time taking its time and going so

Chorus

Call Dasher, call Dancer, call Prancer,
call Vixen...
(Can you help me out real quick,
it's an emergency)
On comet, on Cupid, on Donner, on Blitzen...
(Can you help me out St. Nick,
'cause time is going)

Written by Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all out troubles will be miles away...

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to make it through the somehow

Written by Babyface, David Foster, Toni Braxton

This time next year I'll be home lighting candles
Tryin' to just get on with my life...
And this time next year hope I'm through
with the hurtin'
Tryin' to get you out of my mind...

So, don't try to play like you're not that concerned
And don't try to say that your heart doesn't burn
So, tell me

How can you say that our love isn't special?
How can you say
That our love wasn't true?
And how can you say
You can take it or leave it
When I'm missing you and you know
You'll be missing me, too?

This time next year I'll be out buying presents
And something will remind me of you...
And this time next year I'll be out having dinner
And run into some friends we both knew...

Oh, don't try to play like you won't be concerned
And don't try to say that your heart doesn't yearn
Oh, tell me

Chorus

Come early Christmas morning
I'll be having my coffee and I'll think of you
And the things we used to do
And you know it will be breaking my heart...
'Cause the holidays are special
it will always play a part
In my heart...

Written by Mel Torme, Robert Wells

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

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps 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
And he's got lots of toys
and many 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

Written by Toni Braxton, Keri Lewis, Isaac Hayes

On this day, snowy day
Let me thank you for the joy you're giving me...
I'm so happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me
winter bliss when we kiss
Every wish my lips could see
I'm so happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

Snowy day
Would you please take me away
Away with you...
Hold me so closely
Like the moonlight lights the sky...

In my dreams of soft winter breeze
Eases my mind, but when I wake
there's nothing but leaves
Still, I'm happy...
I have snowflakes of love smiling down on me

Oh, how I imagine the day we met
And those tingles from those little butterflies...
Reminiscing, I get so happy
I just break down and cry

Candlelight burning bright
Underneath a cool, starry night
You and me, endlessly, it's the greatest gift
that love could give to me

On this day, snowy day
Let me thank you for the joy you've given to me...
I'm so happy...
