Wynonna Album

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide 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 in 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

(instrumental)

Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, now 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
Then 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

Over the ground lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Who hearts are thrilling in spite of the chilling weather

Love knows no season, love know no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open we're walkin' and hopin'
Together, together, together, together

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, now 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's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose get a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening

I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

(instrumental)

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Well I just got back from a lovely trip
Along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole
To spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me

So, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

(instumental)

Little tin horns
Little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town

Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats, and Kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids in Girl and Boy Land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa's coming, watch out
So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why...

Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present his here today
Bringing joy that will last

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles 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

(instrumental)

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)

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

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night divine

(instrumental)

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night divine
O night divine

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

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

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 they birth

Sleep in heavenly peace

It must have been something
Being born in a manger
With the sheep from the fields
And stars shining over your head
It must have been something
Seeing three wise men
On their knees before a newborn
With their eyes all aglow
And their hearts they know

It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's come at last

It must have been something
Speaking the word of your Father
With the promise of life
And peace forever

It must have been something
Walking the streets of Jerusalem
With the sins of the world
On the innocence of a lamb
But soon everyone will know

It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's come at last

It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's with us at last

It must have been something
