CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART - LYRICS

 
 

HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer 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's filled with toys for boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle what a beautiful sight
Jump in bed and cover your head
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor for he loves you just the same
Santa knows that we're God's children that makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when the chimes ring out when it's Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all if we just follow the light
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Peace on earth will come to all if we just follow the light
Let's give thanks to the Lord above
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Let's give thanks to the Lord above
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Tonight, tonight
 

 

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 tree
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
A child, a child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

 

 

WINTER WONDERLAND

Wonderland, winter wonderland, wonderland
Sleighbells ring, are you list'nin?
In the lane snow is glist'nin
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
In this place is the new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man!
But you can do the job when you're in town!"

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kids all knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
 

 

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING

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 th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
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 th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

 

 

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

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
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

 

 

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pa pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pa pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum,
And so to honor Him, pa rum pa pum pum,
When we come

Little baby, pa rum pa pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pa pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pa pum pum
That's fit to give a King, pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa rum pa pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pa pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pa pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pa pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum.
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pa pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum.

 

 

THE CHRISTMAS BLUES
 

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 blues

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
 

Some day soon we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Some day soon we all will be together
If the Fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now

SILVER BELLS

City sidewalks, busy 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

 

 

THE FIRST NOEL

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

 

 

CHRISTMAS  ISLAND

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

 

 

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

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

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
