Perry Como The Christmas Album Lyrics
1.Christmas Eve

Everyone, everywhere
Feels the thrill in the air
Christmas eve, christmas eve
Christmas eve!

All the streets snowy white
As they sing 'silent night'
On this holy holiday eve!

All the kids are so good
Go to bed when they should
Mustn't take any chances tonight!

They will sleep with a smile
As they dream all the while
Of the gifts they'll receive
Christmas eve!

< instrumental break >

La, la la, la, la la, la, la la
La, la la . . .

If they gave me a choice
If they left it to me
I know just what my present would be
Peace on earth to all men
And good will once again
All the things we truly believe
Since that long, long ago christmas eve!

La, la la, la, la la, la, la la
La, la la christmas eve, christmas eve
Christmas eve!

La, la la, la, la la,
La, la la . . . to fade


2.Do You Hear What I Hear ?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what i see? ( do you see what i see? )
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what i see ( do you see what i see? )

A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite!

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what i hear? ( do you hear what i hear? )
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what i hear? ( do you hear what i hear? )

A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea!

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what i know? ( do you know what i know? )
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what i know? ( do you know what i know? )

A child, a child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold!

Said the king to the people everywhere ( said the king to the
people everywhere! )
Listen to what i say ( listen to what i say! )
Pray for peace, people everywhere ( pray for peace, people
everywhere! )
Listen to what i say ( listen to what i say! )

The child, the child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light!

Do you hear what i hear? ( do you hear what i hear? )
Do you hear what i hear? ( do you hear what i hear? )
Do you hear what i hear? ( do you hear what i hear? )


3.Christ Is Born

It is 'he', christ who is born today
See him crying in the manger
King of heaven
Son of god
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

There he lies
There with the lam'kin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his holy mother mary
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

Glory, glory, almighty god!
And on earth,
Peace to all men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

He is born,
Let us adore him
Christ the lord
King of kings
Prince of peace
For all the universe
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

5.There Is No Christmas Like A Home Christmas

There is no christmas
Like a home christmas
With your dad and mother,
Sis an' brother there!

With their hearts humming
At your home comin'
And that merry yuletide spirit
In the air!

( you can feel that
Yuletide spirit! )

Christmas bells, christmas bells,
Ringing loud an' strong
Follow them, follow them,
You've been away too long!

There is no christmas
Like a home christmas
For that's the time of year
All roads lead home!

< instrumental break >

( merry christmas,
Merry, merry christmas! )

Christmas bells, christmas bells,
Ringing loud an' strong
Follow them, follow them,
You've been away too long!

There is no christmas
Like a home christmas
For that's the time of year . . .
The time when all roads lead home!

La, la, la la . . .


6.Carol Medley

Caroling, caroling, now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling thru the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!

Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!

The first noël, the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noël, noël, noël, noël
Born is the king of israel.

Hark the herald angels sing, 'glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and mercy mild, god and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim, christ is born in bethlehem'
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new-born king.

Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
'round yon virgin mother an' child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace

Silent night . . .
Holy night . . .


7.Silver Bells

Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be christmas day!

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of christmas!

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
It's christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
Soon it will be christmas day!

Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink of bright red an' green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures!

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
It's christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
Soon it will be christmas day!

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
It's christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
Soon . . . to fade


8.Toyland

Toyland, toyland
Little girl and boy land
When you dwell within it
You are ever happy there!

Childhood toyland
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it's borders
You can never return again! ( not again! )

< instrumental break >

Childhood toyland ( toyland! )
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it's borders
You can never return again!

( toyland! ) toyland ( toyland! ) toyland
( toyland! ) toyland!


9.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Merry christmas, merry merry christmas!

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away!
All your troubles soon turn into bubbles!

Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more! ( 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 break >
