Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! lyrics - Bing Crosby
Just What I Wanted For Christmas lyrics - Bing Crosby
Just what I wanted for Christmas
I got just what I wanted this year
I got an Abercrombie blazer with a thin pinstripe
I got a velvet smoking jacket with a Dunhill pipe
And there's that lovely paisley muffin, ah it's so my type
Just what I wanted, my dear
Yes, just what I needed for Christmas
All the things I've always dream of
I got some jungle gym pajamas and some Alpine hats
Some real Parisian painted neckwear that they call "cravats"
They are hard to find but you, you done
Found some doeskin spats
Just what I wanted, my love
So, ring out to the Noel
When you're headed and distraught
If your shopping didn't go well
It's not what you bought. It's the Yuletide thought
But all I wanted for Christmas
Was the thought you were thinking of me
I'd say that you've been twice as busy as a Christmas Elf
I'll bet that personally you have emptied every modern shelf
But what I wanted by my Christmas tree was your sweet self
Your love makes the season sublime
And that's what I wanted for Christmas
That's what I needed for Christmas
Yes, that's what I wanted for Christmas all the time
O, Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics - Bing Crosby
Those are the bells of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem
Tonight, this Christmas cast its magic spell across the world
We'd like to sing again the song which describes a peaceful holy land
The holy land of countless years of faith
Carolers, let's sing "O, Little Town of Bethlehem"
O, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
How Lovely is Christmas lyrics - Bing Crosby
How lovely is Christmas
With boughs in the hall
When bells ringle jingle
And friends come to call
How lovely is Christmas
With joy on the wing
While under your window
The carolers sing
God rest ye, be merry
Give peace while you may
Remember the child
Who was born on this day
How lovely is Christmas
With songs in the air
A bright merry Christmas
Dear friends everywhere
How lovely is Christmas
With boughs in the hall
When bells ringle jingle
And friends come to call
How lovely is Christmas
With joy on the wing
While under your window
The carolers sing
God rest ye, be merry
Give peace while you may
Remember the child
Who was born on this day
How lovely is Christmas
With songs in the air
A bright merry Christmas
Dear friends everywhere
(Everywhere)
Away In A Manger lyrics - Bing Crosby & Kathryn Crosby
Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
'Til morning is nigh
Good King Wenceslas lyrics - Bing Crosby
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay 'round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel
"Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
"Then, bring me bread and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather
Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Failed my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer
Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly
In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who will now bless the poor
Shall yourself find blessing
The Night Before Christmas lyrics - Bing Crosby
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each tiny little hoof
As I drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke--it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings, and then he turned with a jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Christmas Island lyrics - Bing Crosby
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd you like to stay up late
Like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for every day your Christmas dreams come true
How'd you like to stay up late
Like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for every day your Christmas dreams come true
Aloha hoy
Aloha hoy
You will never stray, for every day your Christmas dreams come true
Joy To The World lyrics - Bing Crosby
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing
Alright
Everybody now in the family key, please
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
That all their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing
The Secret Of Christmas lyrics - Bing Crosby
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears
It's not the Christmas card you've sent for years
Not the joyful sound when sleigh bells ring
Or the merry songs children sing
The little gift you send on Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend you turned away
So, may I suggest the secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through
The little gift you send on Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend you turned away
So, may I suggest the secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through
White World Of Winter lyrics - Bing Crosby
Jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing
In this wonderful white world of winter
Darling, we'll have a wonderful time
Jing a ling, jing, jing
First, we'll ride side by side through the hinter
And roundelay to the sleigh bell's merry chime
Jing a ling, jing, jing
Then we'll ski fancy free down the mountains
And take those chances all silly people do
If there's ever a moment you are freezin'
Just a little squeezin'
Could be mighty pleasin'
In this wonderful white world of winter
I'm fallin' head-over-heels over you
In this wonderful white world of winter
In this wonderful white world of winter
In this wonderful white world of winter
Darling, we'll have a wonderful time
Jing a ling, jing, jing
If we prayed it would snow all this winter
I ask ya, is that a terrible horrible crime?
Jing a ling, jing, jing
I can't wait 'til we skate on Lake Happy
And sip a hot buttered cup in the after-flow
If there's ever a moment you're not laugh-in'
Maybe a toboggan
Don't bump your little noggin'
Bump your little noggin'
In this wonderful white world of winter
I'm thinking' you are the sweetest one I know
In this wonderful white world of winter
Here we go
In this wonderful white world of winter
In the snow
In this wonderful white world of winter
In the snow
In this wonderful white world of winter
Marshmallow World lyrics - Bing Crosby & Ella Fitzgerald
Ah, it's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play
It's a whip-cream day
I wait for it the whole year 'round
And those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red
Like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
And the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes
Whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out, harry and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date
What if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world
Ah, it's a marshmallow day in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play
It's a whip-cream day
And we wait for it the whole year 'round
Just you remember that those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red
Like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
You must remember that the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes
Whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out, harry and roll it along
And, it's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date
What if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
Christmas Star lyrics - Bing Crosby
There is a light shining right on the bay
Making the night seem as bright as the day
Do you believe it may just appear
Christmas eve from year to year
Heavenly glow in the still while you last
Tell if you will what you know of the past
And of tomorrow's promised joy
Born a King, baby boy
Brighten this night, show us where you are
Be our Christmas star
There is a light shining right on the bay
Making the night seem as bright as the day
Do you believe it may just appear
Christmas eve from year to year
Heavenly glow in the still while you last
Tell if you will what you know of the past
And of tomorrow's promised joy
Born a King, baby boy
Brighten this night, show us where you are
Be our Christmas star
Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy lyrics - Bing Crosby & David Bowie
Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
To lay before the king pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
So to honour him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come
Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can
Little baby pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I stood beside him there pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my drum for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my best for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
And he smiled at me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Me and my drum
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Can it be
It's pretty thing, isn't it?
Do You Hear What I Hear? lyrics - Bing Crosby
Do you hear what I hear?
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
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! lyrics - Bing Crosby
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've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned away down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Winter Wonderland lyrics - Bing Crosby
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
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 bells ring, are you listening
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
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Yes, until the other kiddies knock him down
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream sittin' by the fire
To face unafraid all the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing / It Came Upon A Midnight Clear lyrics - Bing Crosby
"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 the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
