Do You Hear What I Hear

Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, Do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king, Do you know what I know A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere, Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere! Listen to what I say The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light

Gee Whiz, It's Christmas

(Carla Thomas) Hello there, Merry Christmas, how've you been, Gee, it's so good to talk to you again, It's been a long, long time, Can't explain why you've crossed my mind, I guess it's just to wish you a Merry Christmas. My best friend's having a party and everbody's going, I know it's gonna be alot of fun, oh, by the way, it's snowing, It's been a long, long time, Can't explain why you've crossed my mind, I guess it's just to say, Gee whiz, it's Christmas. It's funny that I never thought to call you before, And why didn't I ever see you around anymore, Another year has passed, and I can't erase, The memory of your smiling face, So I had to call you up and say, Gee whiz, it's Christmas. So don't forget the party that's just growing, The warm fire from the fireplace will be glowing, It's been a long, long time, I still can't figure out why you've crossed my mind, I guess it's just to say

Give Love on Christmas Day

(Jackson 5) People making lists, buying special gifts, Taking time to be kind to one and all. It's that time of year when good friends are near, And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store. Why don't you give love on Christmas Day Even the man who has everything Would be so happy if you would bring him love on Christmas Day, No greater gift is there than love. People you don't know smile and nod hello, Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy. It's that once of year when the world's sincere, And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say. Why don't you give love on Christmas Day? The man on the street and the couple upstairs All need to know there's someone who cares. Give love on Christmas Day No greater gift is there than love. What the world needs is love Yes, the world needs more love. Why don't you give love on Christmas Day Every little child on Santa's knee Has room for your love underne

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

(Charles Wesley (1707-1788), 1739) Hark! the herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!" Joyful, all ye nations rise; Join the triumph of the skies; With angelic host proclaim "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Hark! the herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!" Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the favored one. Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King" Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King"

Here Comes Santa Claus

(Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman, 1947) Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer Are pulling on the reins. Bells are ringing, children singing; All is merry and bright. Hang your stockings and say your prayers, 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! He's got a bag that is filled with toys For the boys and girls again. Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, What a beautiful sight. Jump in bed, cover up your head, 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

(From the film Meet Me In St. Louis - Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane 1943) Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, Our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, Our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more. Through the years we all will be together If the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

I Believe in Father Christmas

(Greg Lake) They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night And they told me a fairy story 'Till I believed in the Israelite And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas you get you deserve. La la la la la la la la la la....

Home For The Holidays

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays 'Cause no matter how far away you roam When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home I met a man who lives in Tennessee And he was headin' for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie From Pennsylvania folks are trav'lin' down To Dixie's sunny shore From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, The traffic is terrific! Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays 'Cause no matter how far away you roam If you want to be happy in a million ways For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home

Holly Jolly Christmas

(Johnny Marks, 1962) Have a holly, jolly Christmas; It's the best time of the year I don't know if there'll be snow, But have a cup of cheer. Have a holly, jolly Christmas; And when you walk down the street Say Hello to friends you know And everyone you meet. Oh, ho, the mistletoe Hung where you can see; Somebody waits for you; Kiss her once for me. Have a holly jolly Christmas, And in case you didn't hear, Oh by golly, have a holly, Jolly Christmas this year.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy I want a hippopotamus for Christmas I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes To see a hippo hero standing there I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes To see a hippo her

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

(T. Connor, 1952) I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night. She didn't see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep; She thought that I was tucked Up in my bedroom fast asleep. Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white; Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

Christmas Carol lyrics

(Gene Autry) Santa works all day in his workshop Making lots of games and toys Then one day, he hops in his sleigh To bring them to the girls and boys Santa's just as nice as he can be There's just one little thing that worries me If it doesn't snow on Christmas How is Santa goin' to use his sleigh In case of rain, will there be a train That'll speed him on his way If it doesn't snow on Christmas How will Santa get around to us If he breaks down on his way to town Will they let him use a bus I sent him a nice long letter And I hope it's not in vain I'd really feel much better If I knew he could fly a plane People say he has eight reindeer For the sleigh he's driving here But how'll he go, if it doesn't snow On Christmas this year If it doesn't snow on Christmas How is Santa goin' to use his sleigh In case of rain, will there be a train That'll speed him on his way If it doesn't snow on Christmas How will Santa get around to us

I'll Be Home for Christmas

(Kim Gannon, Walter Kent, 1943) I'll be home for Christmas You can count on me Please have snow and mistletoe And presents on the tree Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams

It's Christmas Once Again

(Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers) Bum-bum-bum-bum Merry voices raised in singing Carols through the streets are ringing All because it's Christmas once again Lovers kiss in public shyly Mistletoe was hung there slyly All because it's Christmas once again Little kiddies' noses flattened on the window pane Peeking at the dollys and the shiney choo-choo trains Santa's hitching up his reindeer, has his bag packed tight Everything is ready for the sleigh ride through the night Christmas trees with lights are twinkling Glasses filled with snowflakes sprinkling All because it's Christmas once again So here's a wish we keep repeating Please accept the season's greetings All because it's Christmas once again Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum

It's Christmas Everywhere

(Paul Anka) Snowflakes falling down, on every little town A blanket of stars above Church bells are ringing, children are singing It's Christmas, it's Christmas, Christmas everywhere Lovers often go, under mistletoe And kiss until dawn's early light Sleigh bells are ringing, choirs are singing It's Christmas, it's Christmas, Christmas everywhere Christmas trees all aglow Stockings are hung with care Stars brightly gleaming, children are dreaming That Santa soon will be there Snowflakes falling down, on every little town A blanket of stars above Church bells are ringing, choirs are singing It's Christmas, it's Christmas, Christmas everywhere It's Christmas everywhere

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go Take a look in the five-and-ten, Glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in ev'ry store But the prettiest sight to see Is the holly that will be On your own front door. A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, One in the park as well The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Soon the bells will start And the thing that will make them ring Is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

(Eddie Pola, George Wyle, 1963) It's the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you, "Be of good cheer," It's the most wonderful time of the year. There'll be parties for hosting, Marshmallows for toasting and Caroling out in the snow. There'll be scary ghost stories and Tales of the glories of Christmases Long, long ago. It's the most wonderful time of the year. There'll be much mistletoeing And hearts will be glowing, When loved ones are near. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
