Christmas Songs By Sinatra

Frank Sinatra Christmas Songs By Sinatra Lyrics
1.White Christmas

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know
Where the treetops glisten and kiddies 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


Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear those sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreamin' of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white


2.Jingle Bells

Lyrics:James S.Pierpont
Music:James S.Pierpont
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! You'll take the lead.


3.Silent Night

Written:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

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
Glory streams
From heaven afar
Heavenly hosts
Sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born


4.Adeste Fideles(O Come All Ye Faithful)

Oh come all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.

Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing with exultations,

Word of the father, now In flesh appearing

5.O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Lyrics:Traditional
Music:Traditional
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets 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
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters
in.

Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.


6.It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Written:Richard Storrs Willis
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious
king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings
unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.

O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.

For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace
their King
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels
sing.


7.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Written:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Someday soon, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.


8.Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

Written:Fred Coots/Haven Gillespie
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

You better watch out
You better not cry
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 and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're 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.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
