Barry Manilow Album

Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, 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'll 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 a 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'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away."
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air

Oh how happy are their tones
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas

On, on they send on without end
Their joyful tone to every home

On, on they send on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bop tails ring
Making spirts bright
What fun it is to
Ride a sleighing song tonight

Jingle Bells
Ji, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Ba la la la bop

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bop tails ring
Making spirts bright
What fun it is to
Ride a sleighing song tonight

Joy to the world! The Lord is come:
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns:
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks,hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground:
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.
He rules the earth with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousnes
And wonders of his love.

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
It's the hap -happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap - happiest season of all

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 mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Let your heart be light

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yule tide gay

Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together

Hang a shinning star

And have your self a merry little christmas now
The'll be near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shinning star
Upond the highest bow

It was winter in manhattan
Falling snowflakes filled the air
The streets were covered with a film of ice
But a little simple magic that I'd heard about somewhere
Changed the weather all around, just withn a trice

You bought me violets for my furs
And it was spring for a while, remember?
You bought me violets for my furs
And there was april in that december
The snow drifted on the flowers and melted where it lay
The snow looked leke dew on the blossoms
As on a summer day

You bought me violets for my furs
Aand there was blue in the wintry sky
You pinned the violets to my furs
And gave a lift to the crowds passing by
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then one thought occurs
That we fell in love completely
The day you bought me violets for my furs

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blatter!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blatter!
Du grunst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blatter!

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannembaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a 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
Were walkin' in a winter wonderland
Yea, walkin' in a winter wonderland

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Chestnuts roasting on a 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 misteltoe
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
too see if reindeer even know how to fly
and so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from 1 to 92
all though it's been said many times
many ways
Merry Christmas to you
and every mother's child is going to spy

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Toyland, toyland
Little girl and boy land
When you dwell within it
You are ever happy there!

Childhood toyland
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it's borders
You can never return again! (not again!)

Childhood toyland (Toyland!)
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it's borders
You can never return again!

(Toyland!) Toyland (Toyland!) Toyland!
(Toyland!) Toyland!

When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

[From "A Cranberry Christmas"]

Christmas is just around the corner
Christmas - you feel it in the air
Better write all your letters to Santa
There's shopping and wrapping to do
I bet you'll never believe it
When you see what I got you
You're gonna love it

Christmas is just around the corner
Candles are glowing everywhere
Can't wait until that night reindeer appear
Christmas - and it's just about here

Christmas is just around the corner
Christmas - you feel it in the air
All the trees are surrounded with presents
The stockings are filling up too
I'll bet you'll never believe it
When you see what I got you
What did you get me?

Christmas is just around the corner
Sleigh bells are ringing in the sled
Too bad December comes just once a year
Christmas - time to trim the tree
Christmas - can it really be
Christmas - yes it's finally here

We've been waiting all year
And it's finally here
Yes it's finally here
It's finally here
Christmas
