Star Bright

Vanessa Williams Star Bright Lyrics
1.Angels we have heard on high

There've been times, when I thought I heard angels
and I must admit, it took me by surprise
I heard rhythm, and the fullness of life
so rich, it brought tears to my eyes

There was a time, I was sure I heard angels
it was a sound tinged with sadness, but loaded with the joy
Full of rhythm, and oh such music
kind of streetwise jubilation at the coming of that blessed boy

Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strain

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Shepherds why this jubilee
why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heav'nly song

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Come to Bethlehem and see
him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the lord, the new born king

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)

Angels we have heard


2.Baby, It's cold outside

I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way
But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands they're just like ice.

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry?
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour.

The neighbors might think
But baby it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat your hair looks swell.

I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move a bit closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Oh baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go
But baby it's cold outside
The answer is No
Ooh baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious
My your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half-a-drink more
Never such a blizzard before.

I've got to get home
But baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
Your eyes are like starlight now*
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt,
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

It's cold out side.
It's cold out side.


3.Do you hear what I hear

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
he will bring us goodness and light
he will bring us goodness and light

Listen
Do you hear what I hear do you see what I see do you know what I
know
Prey for peace people everywhere ooh ooh

Do you hear what I hear
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
he will bring us goodness and light
he will bring us goodness and light


4.Go tell it on the mountain

Mary had a baby
Mary had a baby
Mary had a baby
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

Laid him in a manger
Laid him in a manger
Laid him in a manger, oh lord
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

Shepherds came to see him
Shepherds came to see him
Shepherds came to see him, oh lord
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

Named him King Jesus
Named him King Jesus
Named him King Jesus, oh lord
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
And I asked the lord to help me
and he showed me the way

CHORUS:
Oh, Go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born

He made me a watchman, upon the city wall
and if I am a Christian
I am the least of all, yeahyeah

Go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born

CHORUS (4x)


5.Gracious good shepherd

Gracious Good Shepherd
do you really know who I am?
Gracious Good Shepherd
will you answer when I call your name?
Gracious Good Shepherd
you can hear confusion crying out
Gracious Good Shepherd
what little faith I have I am ashamed

I visualize a manger
all freezing and bitter cold
I cannot believe the love there
what heavenly sacrifice

Gracious Good Shepherd
if you hear me now, I love you so
Gracious Good Shepherd
why for me?
Gracious Good Shepherd
you say you love the lost one
Gracious Good Shepherd
I believe that one is me

Some tell me the virgin birth is
a beautiful ancient tale
But you tell me God's constellation
led all to the living well

Gracious Good Shepherd
if you hear me now, I love you so
Gracious Good Shepherd
why, why for me?
Gracious Good Shepherd
do you really know who I am?
Gracious Good Shepherd
will you answer when I call your name?
Gracious Good Shepherd
these are different times, I'm sure you see
Gracious Good Shepherd
we need, you now

7.I'll be home for christmas

I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams


8.I wonder as I wander

Choir Version
~LEAD~
I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky
How Jesus the savior, did come to die
For poor orn'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky
~SOPRANO~
Oooh---(while lead sings)~ When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a
cows stall,
with wise men and farmers and Shepard and all.
But high from the heavens a stars light did fall,
and the promise of thee ages, it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,
a star in the sky or a bird on the wing.
Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing,
then he surely could have it.
'Cause he was the king. Oooh---(while lead sings again)
~ALTO~
Oooh---When Mary birthed Jesus in a cows stall,
High the stars light did fall.
And the promise of ages,it then did recall
If Jesus wanted, a star or bird on wing,
or angels in heven to sing, then he surely could have it,
'Cause he was the king.Oooh---
~TENOR~
Oooh--- Mary birthed Jesus in a cows stall
Starlight did fall, and the blessed promise of the ages,
it did recall.
If Jesus wanted a star or bird on wing,
or angels to sing, he surely surely could have had it,
'cause he was the king. Oooh---
~BASS~
Oooh--- Mary birthed Jesus in a stall.

it did recall.

or angels to sing, he surely could have it, cause he was king.
Oooh----


9.Sleep well little children

Sleep well little children, Pleasant dreams through the night
Tomorrow is Christmas, all merry and bright
Soon you'll hear the bells ring, time for dreams to come true
as the worlds waits to bring, marry Christmas to you


10.Star Bright

Star Bright, first star I see tonight
Could you oh would you please shine your light
Shine it so I can see, my savior smilin' at me

Star Bright, I hear you once proclaimed
This is the way, keep on followin' me
and at the end of the road will be, a baby

And there, in him you'll find, a love that is truly blind
given so from your heart that love that light, could shine

Shine, shine, shine, Shine

Star Bright, first star they saw that night
I am aware that this love is for me
and the greatest of gifts is free
Yet my heart of hearts is heavy

Star Bright, if I give you my hand
Could you oh would you please see me through
I would love to take my heart blue, and give it to you

And there, in my heart you'll find, a love that is truly blind
given to me, so that I could let my, light shine

Shine, shine, shine, Shine,

Star Bright
Star Bright, Star Bright, Star Bright
Star Bright, Star Bright
Shine your light


11.The first noel

The first Noel, 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

CHORUS:
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel

When they looked up, and saw a star
shining in the east, beyond them far
and to the earth, it gave great light
and so it continued both day, and night

CHORUS (2x)

(Noel, Noel)

CHORUS (4x)


12.What child is this

What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring him lord,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant, king, to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

Raise, raise the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
