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 wall 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 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.

(Hugh Martin - Ralph Blaine)

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 far 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.

(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...

(John Barlow Jarvis)

Long, long ago in a world dark and cold
Night so still winter's chill
One bright star was shining
On a bed made of hay in a manger he lay
Shepherds came they knew his name
king of kings a brand new day.

They saw the light in the darkness
It shines on us in tenderness
It brings out the hope that's in all of us
May it shine its light on you this Christmas Night.

--- Instrumental ---

On this Christmas day
May that star light your way
This Christmas Eve I still believe
That same star still shines on me.

They saw the light in the darkness
It shines on us in tenderness
It brings out the hope that's in all of us
May it shine its light on you this Christmas Night.

May it shine its light on you this Christmas Night...

What child is this that laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
And shepherds watch are keeping.

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary.

--- Instrumental ---

So bring him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary.

--- Instrumental ---

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary...

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.

(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.

If only in my dreams...

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth the peace that was meant to be
With God as our father brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me let this be the moment now
With every step I take let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

--- Instrumental ---

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth the peace that was meant to be

Let peace begin with me let this be the moment now
With every step I take let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me...

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.

--- Instrumental to fade ---

Come and gather round at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes round again.

Let us smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes round again.

One night holy and bright shining
With love from our hearts
By a warm fire let's lift our hands high
And be thankful were here till this time next year.

May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes round again.

--- Instrumental ---

One night holy and bright shining
With love from our hearts
By a warm fire let's lift our hands high
And be thankful were here till this time next year.

We'll all join hands and remember this moment
And we'll love and we'll laugh
In the time that we have
'Til the season comes round again...

It's time to pack our bags and hit the highway
And head on out for christmas holiday
I'll fall apart when I pull in the driveway
It's my first time home since brother passed away.

His favorite time of year was always Christmas
We'll reminisce about the days gone by
Oh, how I wish that he was still here with us
My memories of him will never die.

When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year.

--- Instrumental ---

Losin' my big brother hurt so badly
It's helped me learn what Christmas really means
There's nothing more important then your family
We're all the children of the king of kings.

When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year.

When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year...
