The jingle bells are jingling The streets are white with snow The happy crowds are mingling But there's no one that I know I'm sure that you'll forgive me If I don't enthuse I guess I've got the Christmas blues I've done my window shopping There's not a store I've missed But what's the use of stopping When there's no one on your list You'll know the way I'm feeling When you love and you lose I guess I've got the Christmas blues When somebody wants you Somebody needs you Christmas is a joy of joy But friends when you're lonely You'll find that it's only A thing for little girl and little boys May all your days be merry And seasons full of cheer But 'til it's January I'll just go and disappear Oh Santa may have brought you Some stars for your shoes But Santa only brought me the blues Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues Oh Santa may have brought you Some stars for your shoes But Santa only brought me the blues Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas

sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling of Christmas Children laughing, people passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day City street lights, even stop lights Blink up bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle you hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day Soon it'll be Christmas day Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Noel, Noel The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel This by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far To seek for a king was their intent And to follow the star wherever it went Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel Ah, Noel Aloha ey aloha ey aloha oha ey How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea? How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree? How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You'll never stray, for every day your Christmas dreams come true How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You'll never stray, for every day your Christmas dreams come true Aloha ey aloha ey aloha oha ey All through the year we waited Waited through spring and fall To hear siver bells ringin' See wintertime bring in The happiest season of all 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 Help to make the season bright Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa is on his way He's loaded lots of toys 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 Merry Christmas to you And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said, many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas to you O' little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shine In everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight How silently how silently The wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of all His heavens No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in Amen [some thoughts on "Christmas In The Heart"] |
