Christmas in Paraiso (Paradise)

Mark Lambert, Ron Day, Ronnie Jackson 

V1..... 

Rudy's on the front lawn 

Got the whole team in tow 

Santa's on his boogie board 

Ho Ho Ho 

 

Yeah, it's coming on Christmas in….. Paraiso 

  

V2..... 

The stockings are all hung 

There's mistletoe 

Coconuts, key limes 

And fresh mangos 

 

Yeah, it's coming on Christmas in ….. Paraiso 

  

Chorus 

Flip flops, cutoffs and a Panama Jack 

My Jimmy Buffet t-shirt and a hammock for a nap 

 
There's a Southeaster whipping up a holiday breeze 

And the high's gonna be somewhere north of 85 degrees 

  

But, there won't be any dashing thru the snow 

Just sunshine dancing on that Gulf of Mexico 

 
Yeah, it's coming on Christmas in ……. Paraiso 

  

V3..... 

The turkey's in the fryer 

Taking on a glow 

Bacardi's in the blender 

Spiking up the show 

 

Yeah it's coming on Christmas in……  Paraiso 

 

Chorus x 2 

 
Yeah, it’s coming on Christmas in ….. Paraiso

Christmas In Paraiso (Paradise)

Not All Gold
Mark Lambert, Matt Lipscombe

Verse I
Saw a man with a shiny Rolex watch
Sittin’ all alone, sippin’ 40 year old Scotch
Braggin’ on the phone about everything he’s got

But when he hung up 
There was a sadness in his eyes

Pre-Chorus
I’ve met people with next to nothing
Who’d give you the shirt off their backs
With a smile on their face

Chorus
Not all Gold comes from the mountains
Not all Gold comes from the dirt

Some Gold comes from a humble heart
A kind word when you’ve been hurt

Living for giving, my friend 

Is the real Gold

Verse II
When the rains flooded out this town
People came with boats from all around
Checked every house ‘til everyone was found

Said it was the right thing to do

Chorus
Not all Gold comes from the mountains
Not all Gold comes from the dirt

Some Gold comes from a humble heart
A kind word when you’ve been hurt

Oh, living for giving, my friend 

Is the real Gold 

The real Gold

Bridge
When it’s all over, can’t take nothing with you
But you can leave something behind

Chorus
Not all Gold comes from the mountains
Not all Gold comes from the dirt

Some Gold comes from a humble heart
A kind word when you’ve been hurt

Living for giving, my friend 

Is the real Gold 

The real Gold

The real Gold

The Real Gold

The Real Gold


Not All Gold

Can You Live Without Her?
Mark Lambert/Ray Kayanek


Verse I
I was thinking of my Emma
Asked my Grandpa for his advice
How’d your marriage last so long?
Why’d you choose her as your wife?


Pre-Chorus
Said, You need to ask yourself….


Chorus
Do you smile when you see her?
Has she shown a tender heart?
Is she more than you deserve?
Do you hate to be apart?


Has she ever seen you cry?
Do you share her passion for life?
Do you need her by your side?
Well, then she should be your wife


But the most important thing is ..


Can you live without her?


Verse II
It was just a few months later
My Grandma passed away
Grandpa opened up to me 
“I can't go on this way”


Pre-Chorus
Grandpa lived by his words


Chorus
Do you smile when you see her?
Has she shown a tender heart?
Is she more than you deserve?
Do you hate to be apart?


Has she ever seen you cry?
Do you share her passion for life?
Do you need her by your side?
Well, then she should be your wife


But the most important thing is ..


Can you live without her?


Bridge 
She was his world
Made his life complete
He soon faded away
Cause, he knew where he wanted to be


Chorus
Do you smile when you see her?
Has she shown a tender heart?
Is she more than you deserve?
Do you hate to be apart?


Has she ever seen you cry?
Do you share her passion for life?
Do you need her by your side?
Well, then she should be your wife


But the most important thing is ..


Can you live without her?


Tag
He couldn’t live without her
