Bing Crosby
Written by: Dick Smith/Felix Bernard 1934 Sleigh bells ring Are you listenin' In the lane Snow is glistening A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man But you can do the job When you're in town Later on We'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland. [Sleigh bell ring] are ya listen' [In the lane] snow is glissing A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walkin' in the winter wonderland. [Gone away is the blue bird,] Here to stay is the new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown [We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman] Yes, until the other kidies knock him down. Later on, we'll conspire As we dream by the fire, To face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walkin' in a winter wonderland. Walkin' in a winter wonderland. |

Written by: Steve Nelson/Walter Rollins Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say He was made of snow but the children know that he came to life one day There must have been some magic in that Old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around O Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me (Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpetty thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow ) Frosty the snowman knew The sun was hot that day So he said "Let's run and We'll have some fun Now before I melt away " Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all Around the square saying Catch me if you can (He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler) "Stop!" For Frosty the snow man Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye saying "Don't you cry I'll be back again some day I'll be back again some day. |

Bing Crosby
Written by: Noel Regney/Gloria Shayne Peaked Billboard position #2 in 1963 Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb, 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? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees 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? In your palace warm, mighty king, 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, Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people, everywhere, 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. |

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born A silent wish sails the seven seas The winds have changed whisperin' the trees And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn This comes to pass when a child is born A rosy fume settles all around You've got the feel you're on solid ground For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn This comes to pass when a child is born And all of this happened Because where world is waiting Waiting for one child Black, white, yellow, no one knows But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter Hate to love, war to peace And everyone to everyone's neighbor Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever It's all a dream and illusion now It must come true, sometimes soon somehow All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born When a child is born |

Memories
Light the corners of my mind Misty watercolor memories Of the way we were Scattered pictures Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were Can it be that it was all so simple then Or has time rewritten every line If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me...Would we? Could we? Memories May be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughter We will remember Whenever we remember The way we were... The way we were. |

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It doesn't show signs of stopping And I brought some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. When we finally kiss good night How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing But as long as you love me so. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow When we finally kiss good night How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing But as long as you love me so. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. |

In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Save your pappy a chair When the party's getting a glow on And singin' fills the air In the shank of the night When the doin's are right Well you can tell em I'll be there I like a barbecue I like to boil a ham And I vote for bouillabaisse stew What's that? I like a weenie bake, steak and a layer cake And you'll get a tummy ache too We'll rent a tent or a teepee Let the town crier cry "All's well!" And if it's RSVP This is what I'll reply In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em we'll be there If you need a pair of freeloaders To fracture your affair I may even give them Pagliacci Now stand back and give him air If one can relax and we'll have a few yaks And you can tell them we'll be there "Oui," said the bumblebee "Let's have jubilee." "When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?" "Sure," said the dinosaur "Where?" said the grisly bear "Under the light of the moon." "How about your brother, jackass?" Everyone gaily cried "Are you coming to the fracas?" Ain't gonna blow it "Over respects," he sighed In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Slickum on my hair If perchance we look a bit peaked Remember c'est la guerre If we're still on our feet And there's something to eat Well you can tell them we'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Better save a chair When the party's getting a glow on And singin' fills the air If there's gas in my hack and my laundry is back If there's room for one more And you need me Why sure If you need a new face or a tenor or base If I can climb out of bed and put a hat on my head Well you can tell 'em we'll be there. |

When skies were dark
Came Noah's ark Amen When lions roared Came Daniel's lord Amen The Lord helps those who pray And on judgment day If you believe, he shall receive you Amen. When you're down and out Lift up your head and shout There's gonna be a great day Angels in the sky Promise that by and by There's gonna be a great day Gabriel will warn you Some early morn you Will hear his horn rootin', tootin' It's not far away Hold up your hands and say There's gonna be a great day It's not far away Hold up your hands and say There's gonna be We're promised there'll be There's gonna be a great day. |

O holy night
the stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth! A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new an' glorious morn! Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices O night divine O night, when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine! Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices O night divine O night, when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine! O holy night O night divine Music by Adolphe Charles Adam, 1803-1856 Words by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure, 1847 - Tr. John Sullivan Dwight |
