This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the rocky mountain christmas album, and has also been released on the christmas. like a lullaby album. |
|
All through the year |
|
We've waited |
|
Waited through spring and fall |
|
To hear silver bells ringing |
|
See winter time bringing |
|
The happies season of all |
|
Chestnuts roasting on a open fire |
|
Jackfrost nippin' at your nose |
|
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir |
|
And folks dressed up like eskimos |
|
Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistleoe |
|
Will help o make he season bright |
|
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow |
|
Will find it hard to sleep tonight |
|
They know that santa's on his way |
|
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh |
|
And every mother's child is going to spy |
|
To see if reindeer really know how to fly |
|
And so i'm offering this simple phrase |
|
To kids from one to ninety-two |
|
Although it's been said, many times |
|
Many ways |
|
Merry christmas, to you |
