Brian McKnight Album

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 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 ev'ry 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
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you

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'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

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink of 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 the 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

Soon it will be Christmas day

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Fire is slowly dying
And, my dear,
we're still goodbying
As long as you love me so
Let it snow,
let it snow, let it snow

He doesn't care if it's in below
He's sitting
by the fires glossy glow
He don't care about the cold
and the winds that blow
He just says, let it snow,
let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow

Ooh, wee, goes the storm
Why should he worry
when he's nice and warm?
His girl by his side
and the lights turned low
He just says,
let it snow, let it snow
I don't care

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But that fire is, mmm, delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought lots of corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
So, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow

When we finally say good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll only hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
Long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Christmas you and me
Its seven o clock and I'm on my way
Eating the miles down this highway
Say that you'll wait for me
To light up the Christmas tree
Tell you the first thing that Imma do
Holding and squeezing and kissing you under the mistletoe.
Girl I've been missing you so
This is the first holiday we'll spend every night I pray that it never ends
Feels like meant to be when I have you next to me
Can't wait to have you to myself
Cuz I need you and no one else
There's no place in this world I'd rather be
You're the only present that I need
The perfect combination is Christmas You and Me
The perfect combination is Christmas you and me

Its 11 o'clock and I'm almost home
I'm just calling to let you know
Leave on the light for me
Soon we'll make us some __
I saw Santa was on his way
I saw Rudolph pulling the sleigh
Donner and Blitzen too
He's got some presents for you
This is the first holiday we'll spend every night I pray that it never ends
Feels like meant to be when I have you next to me
Can't wait to have you to myself
Cuz I need you and no one else
There's no place in this world I'd rather be
You're the only present that I need
The perfect combination is Christmas You and Me
The perfect combination is Christmas you and me

I hear sleigh bells ringing and carolers singing
and smothered turkey's that grandma's bringing
I see children playing in the snow
Its Christmas time and I know well that when I see you I just might melt
If you don't know by now you need to know
That I can't wait to have you to myself
Cuz I need you and no one else
There's no place in this world I'd rather be
You're the only present that I need
The perfect combination is Christmas You and Me
The perfect combination is Christmas you and me

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 lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
There'll be snow and mistletoe

Christmas eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round your Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

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 great happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest
Season of all

There'll be parties
For hosting
Marshmallows for roasting
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
Mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful
Time of the year

Christ the Lord

I fell in love
On a very special day
This feeling will never go away
Now I can say
That with your love, I'll always stay
Look at me and tell me if I'm being deceived
Cause right now this feelin' is hard to believe

Who would have thought it'd be this way?
Oh, no
I never thought I'd fall in love on christmas day
Who would have thought I'd fall in love on christmas day?

I can't believe
That you are right here with me
The star on my christmas tree
I wanna love you endlessly
And that's the way I always want it to be (want it to be)
Standing there when the lights from the tree
Meets your eyes
I can see
That I only want you
'Cause you're all that I need

Who would have thought it'd be this way?
Oh, no
I never thought I'd fall in love on christmas day
Who would have thought I'd fall in love on christmas day?

I'd never fall in love on christmas day
I never thought I'd fall in love
On christmas, christmas day I'd fall in love

Who would have thought it'd be this way?
Oh, no
I never thought I'd fall in love on christmas day
Who would have thought I'd fall in love on christmas day?

I know that christ came down
To endure my sins and shame
But now my dear we fall in love
On this very special day
This day
Do do do do do do do do do do do hey
Thought it'd be this way
Oh, no
I never thought I'd fall in love
I never thought I'd fall in love
Who would have thought I'd fall in love on christmas day?

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
Yeah
Ooh, oh, ooh oh, yeah

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo

Ooh, no, yeah, yeah
Shepards, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Ohh
That inspire your heavenly
Heavenly song, oh

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah
Oh
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Oh
Come on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord
Our newborn King

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Oh yeah

On the day
That Christ was born
The angels sang
Such a heavenly song
In excelsis Deo, ohh

Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo

Bless this house
O Lord we pray
Make it safe
By night and day

Bless these walls
So firm and stout
Keeping want
And trouble out

Bless the roof
And chimneys tall
Let thy peace
Lie overall

Bless this door
That it may prove
Ever open
To joy and love

Bless these windows
Shining bright
Letting in God's
Heavenly light
Bless the hearth
Ablazing there
With smoke ascending
Like a prayer

Bless the people
Here within
Keep them pure
And free from sin

Bless us all
That we may be
Fit O Lord
To dwell
With Thee

Bless us all
That one day
We may dwell
O Lord
With Thee
