Looking For Christmas

Clint Black Looking For Christmas Lyrics
1.Birth Of The King

verse one

Sages have come from far following one bright star
Telling us where thou art from heaven
The king of kings, lord is the word he brings
Praise of the nazarene the angels will sing

Chorus

Jesus born unto mary in bethlehem
The angels herald the pietas in the magi,
Ardent wouldn't tarry to find him,
Enshrine him, glorify him

Verse two

Frankincense, gold and myrrh honor the savior's birth
The highest praise on earth
The angels will sing of him, the trinity begins
Voices will ring, 'amen the birth of the king'

Chorus two

Jesus, joseph and mary of israel, isiah's
Miracle augured befell
The coming of christ as the star from the east will tell
The first noel our load emmanuel

Verse three

Sages have come from far following one bright star
Telling us who thou art from heaven
The king of kings, lord is the word he brings
Praise of the nazarene, the angels will sing
Of the birth of the king
The angels will sing of the birth of the king
The angels will sing of the birth of the king


2.Christmas For Every Boy And Girl

verse one

The roar of his laughter is widely renown
A distinct ho-ho-ho as he goes town to town
The number of kids is sure to astound
It's many the chimney that he'll shimmy down
He know's who's been bad and who's good
And he'd empty that bag out if only he could

Chorus

When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and st. nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl

Verse two

How many children are watching the sky
For a chance to see rudolph's red nose glowing by
And how many lay listening with sleep in their eyes
And visions of patriots crossing the sky
He knows who's asleep and awake
And that promise won't keep if it's for goodness sake

Chorus (repeat twice)

...around the world


3.Coolest Pair

verse one

If i could take a ride on rudolph,
We'd trim the treetops knockin' a boot off
I'd get a ride out of rudolph hoofin' it everywhere

Verse two

If i could make a frosty the snowman,
He'd be the jolly get up and go-man
I'd make a 40 below-man we'd be the coolest pair

Chorus

We'd stick together, all kinds of weather
We're sure to have a ball
I can imagine all that can happen if a
Little bit of snow would fall

Verse three
If i could be the man down the chimney,
Bag full of magic i've got it in me
I can get santa to send me, i've got the
Time to spare

(repeat chorus)

Bridge

But the worh is around there's some other
Toen that let christmas go to the grinch
Well maybe in whoville not me and you-ville,
We'd never give 'em an inch

Verse four

If i could make a frosty the snowman
He'd be the jolly still on a roll-man
I'm make a 40-below man, we'd be the coolest pair
Hoofin' it everywhere , hey i've got time to spare


4.Finest Gift

verse one

She can shop all over town, turn the gift
Shops upside down
Finding something for her man with everything
But it's right behind her eyes and no matter what she buys
She'll always be the finest gift she brings

Chorus

Every year it's never missed, should be at
The top of every list
It can never be outdone,it's the perfect
Gift for everyone

Verse two

It's in everything you'll see scattered
Underneath our tree
You can hear it in the carols that we sing
It's the heart of love's design and it
Appreciates with time
And she'll always be the finest gift she brings

(repeat chorus)

Verse three

Now it's not in any store and she could
Never give me more
Then her promise of the finest gift she brings
I know her love's the finest gift she brings


5.Kid

verse one

Last night i dreamed i was a kid again
All the things i used to do i went and did again
Spent the afternoon with my best and closest friend
Wanderin' through the days we thought would never end
It was back when i'd still get things from santa claus
Back when he believed in me and overlooked the flaws
That can grow inside until it hides the
Perfect little boy inside the man

Chorus

I'm not a kid anymore, but i still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh and
The elves will make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys

Verse two

Tonight i'll climb back in that bed again
Try to live out all my dreams inside my head again
After christmas eve with my best and closest friend
Who will believe the world's greatest dad
Just tucked him in
And i know that he'llbe looking out for santa claus
And i'm sure beyond a doubt he'll overlook the flaws
That will grow inside until it hides this
Perfect little boy inside a man

Chorus two

I'm not a kid anymore and i still believe
That miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh and
The elves do make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys


6.Looking For Christmas

verse one

I'm looking for christmas, i've gotta find
Christmas, flying back in my mind
Does anyone know of this christmas, a long ago christmas
Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing
Only bringing the long traveled message of love

Verse two

I'm looking for christmas, in time for this
Christmas, a day far and away
And could a star show me christmas,
The town of old christmas
Where truth is ringing, a virgin's
Bringing the newborn king and the
Lord's own messiah of love

Chorus one

And i close my eyes and i'm kneeling there in the stall,
And could i be the wine man, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom for all

Verse three

I'm looking for christmas, i know i'll find christmas
Imparted right from the start
And everyone knows of this christmas
The very first christmas
Where christ is guiding, all with tidings
Still his light is residing here in us all

Chorus two

And i close my eyes, and a thousand lifetimes recall
Aren't we all wise magi, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom
As born on this christmas and each christmas day
We are sharing his wisdom creating a kingdom
As born on this christmas and each
Christmas day that shall fall


verse one

I'm looking for christmas, i've gotta find
Christmas, flying back in my mind
Does anyone know of this christmas, a long ago christmas
Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing
Only bringing the long traveled message of love

Verse two

I'm looking for christmas, in time for this
Christmas, a day far and away
And could a star show me christmas,
The town of old christmas
Where truth is ringing, a virgin's
Bringing the newborn king and the
Lord's own messiah of love

And could i be the wine man, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom for all

8.Slow As Christmas

chorus

You're as slow as christmas, i was up before the dawn
Up so fast i missed it or was that old saying wrong
Every christmas day makes every other day seem long
And what seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone

Verse one

I've heard old sayings, old cliches and
Most of them make sense
But we're wiser in our younger days not easily convinced
There's no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes
And it seems that santa's sled isn't the only thing that flies

(repeat chorus)

Verse two

We're bringing in another year let's throw the old one back
With my new train i'll be the engineer
And hurry down the track
While i know that time is standing still
I hear that old cliche
And i'm more convinced it does until that
One december day

Chorus two

When i'm as slow as christmas
I'll be up before the dawn
I'm gonna miss this
I know that old saying's wrong
Every christmas day makes other day seem long
And what seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone,
Come and gone


9.Til' Santa's Gone(Milk And Cookies)

now i'm only five years old
I've got to do just what i'm told
'cause santa claus is gonna be dropping in on me
Now is there something i might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that christmas tree.
Now i know what he like for a late night snack
For years now it's been bringing him back
Milk and cookies
He'll come and go without a sound again
But how in the world does he get in
Ain't got a chimney
Close my eyes and concentrate
Try to sleep it's getting late
All night long i lie awake
Till santa's gone i just can't wait
Now is there something i might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can get it all under that christmas tree.
Sneak a peek down the hall
I've got to check now i don't recall
The milk and cookies
I think i'm sure i got it all
Stockings hung a-long the wall
Ain't got a chimney
Close my eyes and concentrate
I gotta sleep now it's getting late
All night long i lie awake
Till santa's gone i just can't wait
Just can't wait, just can't wait
Could there be something i might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that christmas tree.
I hope he can fit it all under my christmas tree.

Spoken:

Let's see, i know he can fit...he can fit the airplane under
there. he can
Get the bicycle in there
And the...and the gum ball machine and don't know what he's
gonna do with
That horse.


10.Under The Mistletoe

there's no telling how far a kiss'll go

Wish on the highest star that this'll go

On right here where we are under the mistletoe

On christmas night, it seems so right

That a lovely holiday dish made a mess of me

If love is this, it's my favourite recipe

The kind that fits to remind the rest of me

There's room to grow, under the mistletoe

But i made this 'mist' as a christmas wannabe

With a christmas list that insists i've gotta be

Hugged and kissed by this sweet miss in front of me

On christmas night and every night

Just right here, in the doorway where they found us

They'd like to leave but there's no way around us

I believe there's a spell that bound us

I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe

Gotta know, i'm afraid to go

Don't want out if we're in the throes

Flames die out in the afterglow

And i've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe

Don't think so

Gotta know, i'm afraid to go

Don't want out if we're in the throes

Flames die out in the afterglow

And i've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe

Don't think so

I gotta know

Say it ain't, say it ain't ... just the mistletoe
