Have A Merry Christmas

Sometimes Christmas seems so far away
Even though the season's come
The clouds are heavy and the sky is gray
You cannot see the sun
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la lay
When the season seems more like folly,
That's when I hear them say
Have a merry Christmas
This is the season when a baby came
Upon the earth to roam
Heavenly wanderer, the star-struck child
To bring us to our home
Born in a stable with the sheep and goats
There on the straw he lay
And angels visited - a heavenly host
They were the first to say
Have a merry Christmas
I haven't traveled like the wise men did
To reach the baby's side
Maybe if I had seen the star that night
I wouldn't run and hide
It's hard to face the world - this much is true
It's truer every day
But when I think upon the Christmas child
At least I still can say
Have a merry Christmas
If you're a wanderer in a far-off land
Or stranger in your home
You have a friend in the Christmas child
Who came to earth to roam
When Christmas season feels like folly
Fa la la la la, la lay
Remember there's a reason to be jolly,
A reason you can say

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Just A Single Season
02:19

There is just a single season that can bring this kind of cheer,
just a single season - but it can last throughout the year.
There is frost upon the windows and music in the hall,
and joy that touches hearts of children big and small.
For the holly wreath is on the door, the welcome mat is on the floor,
kids may dream of chimney sweeps, but the greatest gift of all -
is the hope that comes this season, a little baby boy
born to us in Bethlehem upon a bed of straw.
So as you go this season, just wish upon a star
For the light that glows in Bethlehem can live within us all.
Yes, the Light that glows in Bethlehem can live within us all.

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan 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
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Let there be snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Remember You Remember Me
03:58

Remember you, remember me
Every year around this time
I wonder if you're doing fine
I remember love we shared
And red ribbons in your hair
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Winter season chilled our skin
But warmth filled our hearts within
The sky was blue, the air was clear
Not a thing for us to fear
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
I, I, I remember you
You, you, you remember me too
In the house to share a meal
Fire lights the joy we feel
Cider warm to ease our cold
Kiss you 'neath the mistletoe
Now the memories they fade
Unfinished all the plans we made
Will we meet? I know not where
With red ribbons in your hair

The Christmas Song
02:13
|
|||
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help 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;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to 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 its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you
