Winter Magic

Hayley Westenra Winter Magic Lyrics
1.The Little Road To Bethlehem

Lyricist:Michael Dewar HeadMargaret Rose
Writer(s):Michael Dewar HeadMargaret Rose

As I walk down
The road
I sit up some
The lambs were
Coming homeward
One by one
I heard
A sheepbell
Softly
Calling them
Along
The little road
To Bethlehem

Beside
An open door
As I drew night
I heard
Sweet Mary
A lullaby
She sang
About the lambs
At close of day
And rocked her
Tiny boy
Among the hay

Across the air
The silver
Sheepbell rang
The lambs
Are coming home
Sweet Mary sang
You're
A star of gold
You're
A star of gold
Is shining
In the sky
So sleep
My little baby
Go lullaby

As I walk down
The road
I sit up some
The lambs were
Coming homeward
One by one
I heard
A sheepbell
Softly
Calling them
Along
The little road
To Bethlehem


2.Carol Of The Bells

Lyricist:Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovich
Writer(s):Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovich

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.

Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling.
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air.
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale.
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.

Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling.
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air.
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale.
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.

On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone
to every home.
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.


3.The Christmas Song(Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

Lyricist:Mel TormeRobert Wells
Writer(s):Mel TormeRobert Wells

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on 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 going to 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 its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

And every mother's child is going to 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 its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you
A very Merry Christmas to you

5.Silent Night

Lyricist:Franz GruberJoseph Mohr
Writer(s):Franz GruberJoseph Mohr

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 Thy birth

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth


6.Christmas Morning

Lyricist:Hayley WestenraJeff Franze
Writer(s):Hayley WestenraJeff Franze

Colored lights upon the tree
Rocking horse and snow fairy
Gathered round the fire at night
Carols sung by candlelight

Watch the snowflakes touch the ground
Falling softly on the town
Frosted windows in the morn
Woolly jumpers newly worn

Friends and family pass around
Presents brought from out of town
Listen to the joyful sounds of morning

Trinkets hang upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary
Waiting for the house to wake at dawning

Tinsel hung from wall to wall
Mistletoe upon the door
Mugs of cocoa steaming hot
Eggnog ladled from the pot

Friends and family pass around
Presents brought from out of town
Listen to the joyful sounds of morning

Trinkets hang upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary
Waiting for the house to wake at dawning

Friends and family pass around
Presents brought from out of town
Listen to the joyful sounds of morning

Trinkets hang upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary
Waiting for the house to wake at dawning


7.Sleigh Ride

Lyricist:Mitchell ParishLeroy Anderson
Writer(s):Mitchell ParishLeroy Anderson

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling you
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up giddy up giddy up
Let's go let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy up giddy up giddy up
It's grand just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party
At the home of farmer gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop pop pop pop

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by currier and ives

These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling you
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up giddy up giddy up
Let's go let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy up giddy up giddy up
It's grand just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you


8.River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me so weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

10.Corpus Christi Carol

Lyricist:Traditional
Writer(s):Traditional

He bare her up, he bare her down
He bare her into an orchard ground

Lully lullay, lully lullay
The falcon hath borne my mate away

And in that orchard there was a hall
That was hanged with purple and pall
And in that hall there was a bed
And it was hanged with gold so red

Lully lullay, lully lullay
The falcon hath borne my mate away

And on this bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day

Lully lullay, lully lullay
The falcon hath borne my mate away

By his bedside standeth a stone
Corpus Christi written thereon


11.All With You

Lyricist:Hayley WestenraJeff Franze
Writer(s):Hayley WestenraJeff Franze

On the wind the snow is drifting
Dances round my weary feet
Faraway a bell is ringing
Echoes through the empty streets

Oh I can see you
I can still play make-believe
Oh I can feel you
Near me

I'll be sending a thousand kisses
I am far
But I am all with you

On the night the air is bracing
Lights are gracing every street
I can hear the children singing
Midnight bringing hopes of peace

Oh I can see you
I can still play make-believe
Oh I can feel you
Near me

I'll be sending you a thousand kisses
I am far
But I am all with
I'll be sending a thousand wishes
Know on Christmas
I am all with you

I'll be sending you a thousand kisses
I am far
But I am all with
I'll be sending a thousand wishes
Know on Christmas
I am all with you

I'll be sending you a thousand kisses
I am far
I am all with you
I'm with you

Lullay, Lullay,
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Lullay,

O sisters, too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day;
This poor Youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All children young, to slay.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
By, by, lully, lullay.
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Lullay.

15.It's Only Christmas(feat. Ronan Keating)

Lyricist:R. KeatingP. Barry
Writer(s):R. KeatingP. Barry

Do you remember what you wished for every Christmas
Do you say a prayer and send it on our star
Or maybe I'm just being over sentimental
But now it's Christmas and I miss us most of all

You know I never really took the time to thank you
I was always thinking you were here to stay
Is it something in the air that gets me crazy
'Cause now its Christmas but I miss us just the same

When it's cold, I get lonely
I can't talk, I can't walk, I can't breath
Then I dream and you hold me
And the angels are singing with me
I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all

So lets chalk 'em down and drown out all my sorrows
And maybe I can dance again with you
And as the children sing I swear I heard you whisper
That now it's Christmas but I miss us just the same

When it's cold, I get lonely
I can't talk, I can't walk, I can't breathe
Then I dream and you hold me
And the angels are singing with me
I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all
I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all
'Cause now it's Christmas and I miss us most of all
