December

Kenny Loggins December Lyrics
1.Walking In The Air

Lyrics:Howard Blake
Music:Howard Blake

Sweeping low over an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
we're walking in the air
we're dancing in the midnight sky

We're walking in the air
We're floating in a moonlit sky
The people far below
Are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding on the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you....

Free as we can be
Above the sleeping world
As far as I can see
(All is a dream)

All across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams

Children gaze
Open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody
Down below
Believes
Their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in a frozen sky
We're drifting over ice
and mountains floating by

Free as we can be
Above the sleeping world
As far as I can see
All is a dream

We're walking in the air
(walking in the air)
We're dancing in the midnight sky
(dancing in the sky)
And everyone who sees us
Greets us as we fly
We're walking in the air...
Walkin in the air...
We're walking in the air
Walkin in the air
We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air


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

Lyrics:Mel Torme/Robert Wells
Music:Mel Torme/Robert Wells

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
For kids from one to ninety two
Although its been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you


3.The Bells Of Christmas

Lyrics:Kenny Loggins/Steve Wood
Music:Kenny Loggins/Steve Wood

Imagine a boy
Kneeling by the window
Lookin out across the driveway at the rain
Will it always rain

I remember the bells
Comin' from the churchyard
And I thought they played their music just for me
And day by day
The rain turned to snow
I don't hear them anymore

The bells of Christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What Christmas really means
So light a candle
That every man may see
The world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas
Once again

There was a girl
Lived around the corner
With eyes as black as Mary's must have been
I wonder
Does she miss her friend
I remember the day
All the bells were ringing
As I watched her cross the churchyard in the snow
And all my searching
for all I lack
Is just trying to get that feeling back

The bells of Christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What Christmas really means
So light a candle
That every man may see
A world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again

The future of the world, they say
Is in the children's hands
Perhaps if we could let them lead
We'd come to understand

The bells of Christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What Christmas really means
So light a candle that every man may see
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again


4.Coventry Carol

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, 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 young children to slay.

That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!
And ever morn and day,
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.


5.Christmas Time Is Here

Written:Vince Guaraldi/Lee Mendelson

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
The children call
Favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times
And ancient rhymes
Love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families drawing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families drawing near
Oh that we could always see
A favorite time of year


6.Angels in the Snow

Written:Kenny Loggins/Julia Loggins/Steve Wood

When December comes
Then we'll take the kids to Mama's
They can make snow angels in the yard
Like a Christmas card
We'll decorate the tree
Put an angel high above us
Like we always do
At Christmas

On and on it goes
Every year new memories to share
And for all we know
We will all of us be there

When the autumn leaves have gone to gold
And swallows know December's calling
I'll be flying home a thousand times
In all my sweetest dreams
I can see the glow in your eyes
As we sit by the fire
Like lovers we knew long ago
While we watch our angels in the snow

When December comes
We'll be trying to remember
Where we packed our woolen winter clothes
Only heaven knows
When December comes
We'll be hanging pine and holly
Singing all the songs we sing at Christmas

Home is ever near
Hearts return no matter what we do
And Love
Will build a bridge
And I will always be there with you

When the autumn leaves have gone to gold
And swallows know
December's calling
I'll be flying home a thousand times
If only my dreams
And I see the glow in your eyes
As we sit by the fire
Like lovers we knew long ago
While we watch our angels in the snow


7.White Christmas

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin

l'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten and the 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


8.Some Children See Him


9.On Christmas Morning

Written:Kenny Loggins/David Foster

Ol' December's here at last
Time for celebration
Christmas present
Christmas past
Tumble down together like the snow
What a show
Now the snowman Karen made
Is melting by the roadside
On the wind a serenade
Of children's voices singing I believe
I believe in love
I believ

On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me and I realize how sweet a life can be
All the memories
Coming back again this year

Sentimental melodies
surround me like an old friend
Spent a winter here with me
Silently we watched the seasons change
And they change so fast
Fade away

On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
All the memories will always take me back, hold me back in time

On Christmas morning
You awaken with a smile
You hold me in your arms
We watch the snowflakes fly
And then you love me
And I realize how sweet a life can be
Ooh the memories will always take me back in time
To Christmas morning
On Christmas morning


10.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Lyrics:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane
Music:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Let your hearts be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide 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


11.December

Written:Peter Kater/Kenny Loggins

Once upon a dream
Moonlit wings come into view
Winter casts her spell
And all the world is born anew
A child sees a star through a window
He knows with all his heart
That wonder is coming
Waiting
Hoping
Believing

Only in December
Are hearts so full
Or feel more alone
Could it be the same
For everyone

Only in December
Can the broken heart
Feel so alive
And the autumn ashes
Become the fires of December
Can I be inside
and out of the cold
Still I know
December always leads me home
I still believe in magic
Always leads me home
And I still believe in miracles, mmm yes
Still believe in Christmas
I still believe in love
