로큰롤의 황제 엘비스 프레슬리, 최고의 여성 보컬들과 함께 크리스마스 캐럴로 복귀하다엘비스 프레슬리「CHRISTMAS DUETS」는 이미 세상을 뜬 엘비스 프레슬리의 목소리를 빌려와 현존하는 여성 보컬들의 보컬을 더해 마치 듀엣으로 노래한 것처럼 만들어낸 작품이다.「CHRISTMAS DUETS」에는 듀엣으로 노래하지 않은 엘비스 프레슬리의 노래 세 곡이 보너스 트랙으로 수록되어 있다. ‘THE FIRST NOEL’과 ‘IF I GET HOME ON CHRISTMAS DAY’, 그리고 ‘WINTER WONDERLAND’ 등 세 곡이다. 오리지널 버전에 약간의 리믹스와 리마스터링 과정을 거친 음원에 이 앨범의 전체 음악을 추가로 레코딩한 세션 멤버의 연주까지 더해 클래시컬한 오리지널을 훨씬 현대적인 느낌으로 되살려냈다. .... ....
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue just thinking about you Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling That's when those blue memories start calling You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
(Instrumental Break)
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white, But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Oh 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.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth. And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
Oh 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.
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 It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights Blink a bright red and 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 It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
(Traditional, arranged by Elvis Presley) O come, all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem Come and behold him Born the king of angels O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord
Sing choirs of angels Sing in exaltation Oh sing all ye rivals Of heaven above Glory to God, Glory in the highest O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord
The first Noel the angels did sing Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay In fields fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the king of Israel
And to the Earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the king of Israel Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the king of Israel
If I get home on Christmas day I won't need soft words to say I'll miss you and I can stay a while You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile
If I get home before midnight While you're still sleeping tight I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay If I get home on Christmas day
Writing letters everyday Never really seem to say The way I feel deep in this heart of mine Though I'm half a world away If we're patient and we pray Know I'll get my chance with you this time
If I get home on Christmas day I won't need soft words to say I'll miss you and I can stay a while You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile
If I get home before midnight While you're still sleeping tight I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay If I get home on Christmas day I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay If I get home on Christmas day
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' 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 Walkin' 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 so 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 made Walkin' in a winter wonderland
