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. |

Let me tell you a tale that is often told
In the great Celestial Hall All about an angel only four years old The littlest angel of all How all day he would play with a little box That to others had no words Oh, but there were treasures in this little box The treasures he brought from Earth Just a butterfly with golden wings A little piece of a hollow log Two shiny stones from a river bank And the worn out strap of his faithful dog Then the angels all heard that the holy child Would be born in Bethlehem And they all brought present for the holy child And each gift was a heavenly gem Then the littlest angel put his little box With the presents fine and wrapped And the littlest angel sat alone and cried For his gift was so meager and bad Just a butterfly with golden wings A little piece of a hollow log Two shiny stones from a river bank And the worn out strap of his faithful dog But the Lord chose the gift of the little box That the child had blessed with love And it started glowing that very night It became the star up above When you see that star as it shines on high In the great Celestial Hall You will know the proudest angel in the sky Is the littlest angel of all With his butterfly with golden wings A little piece of a hollow log Two shiny stones from a river bank And the worn out strap of his faithful dog |

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. |

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 |
