Vince Gill Album

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

Over the ground lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds
Shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling
In spite of the chilling weather.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking 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
Walking 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 while you're in town.

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

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

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 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...

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

O Little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.

Yet in the dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

For christ is born of mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
And peace to men on earth...

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

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.

Strings of 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 the 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...

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

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 happiest season of all
With those holiday meetings
And gay, happy greetings
When friends come to call
It's the 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 mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year...

I'll have a blue Christmas without you;
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me.

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin',
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

I'll have a blue Christmas without you;
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me.

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin',
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas...

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviours birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.

Till he appeared and the soul felt it worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For younder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees.

O hear the angles voices
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine
O night divine, O night, O night divine...

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

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

Hey! 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!

And 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.

The fire is slowly dying
Hey! and, Honey, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!...

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

Sing sweet and low a lullaby,
Till angels say Amen.
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem.

While wisemen follow through the dark,
A star that beckons them.
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem.

A little child shall lead them,
The prophets said of old.
And storm and tempest heed them
Until the bell is tolled.

Sing sweet and low your lullaby,
Till angels say Amen.
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem.

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say Amen.
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem...

Vince Gill & Patrick Williams

We have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son.

I am waiting, in a silent prayer
I am troubled, by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now, be with me now.

Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, breath of heaven
Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness, for You are holy
Breath of heaven.

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am for the mercy of Your plan
Help me be strong, help me be, help me.

Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, greath of heaven
Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness, for You are holy.

Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, breath of heaven
Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness, for You are holy.

Breath of heaven.

Breath of heaven.

Breath of heaven...

Oh, come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlahem
Come and adore him he's the King of angels
Oh, come let us adore him, oh, come let us adore him
Oh, come let us adore him Christ the Lord.
