Xmas Quiz part 2

Which songs, which were Number 1 at Christmas, do these lyrics come from?

To cater for all ages, there are two songs from each decade from the 1950s to the 2010s but they are not in chronological order.

One point for the song, one point for the artist. Where songs were covered, I have put the year.

No Googling!

I'll give the answers on Sunday unless it's ruining @waller02's Christmas and he wants them earlier!

Question 1
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo

Question 2
Light after darkness my wondrous star
Our hopes and dreams, my heart and yours, forever shining far

Question 3
His philosophy of life will steer him through
And as far as he can see
He's the same as you and me
There's nothing in the world he cannot do

Question 4 (1957 version)
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar

Question 5
Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give?
For whom you'd fight for, die for, pray to God you'd lie for?
She's so fine, she's so fine, she's really sweet the finest girl
You ever want to meet

Question 6
This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand the writing on it

Question 7
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest

Question 8
And I could tell it was gonna be right
'Cause I want meat, yeah, meat
A beige and savory treat
Yeah, I want meat, yeah, meat

Question 9
Ooh, they make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Oh, you lead me on and then you run away

Question 10
Water's running in the wrong direction
Got a feeling it's a mixed-up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Something funny's going on inside my mind

Question 11
I say high, you say low, you say why, and I say I don't know
Oh
Oh no…

Question 12
…And I know you will agree
That she always is a friend to you
And she's a friend to me

Question 13 (1992 version)
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way

Question 14
What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
It's almost that feeling that we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell your love has come here and now

These are weird and wonderful times but I wish every on Sky Poker a great Christmas!

    A lot of these I’m only sure of either artist or song title so I’ll leave to others, and embarrassingly give the answer for

    10. Sound of the Underground - Girls Aloud

    But also

    11. Hello Goodbye - The Beatles

    Hope you all had a good Christmas, whatever is or isn’t planned.
