Carpenters, The - Christmas Song Lyrics






All through the year
We've waited
Waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing
See winter time bringing
The happiest season of all

Chestnuts roasting on an 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 mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes of a glow
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

[Repeat *]

[Repeat **]

    No other version can beat mats or Karen's. Case closed. Lol

  2. R.... P....

    The NY daily news in 1977 staysed that this was the best version since Nat King Cole absolutely on the mark.

  3. R.... P....

  12. S.... S....

    Any song that Karen sings gives me.goosebumps and makes me wana scream WHY!!!!!!..WHY did she have to go..Why didnt she try to talk to someone!!! I.would.often imagine what if she is still.around at this time..and how the divas will sound together - Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Bette Midler..sadly Natalie Cole.and her may be making music up.there, we never know

  13. B.... D....

    Her voice makes me melt!

  14. F.... G....

    I wish all I love the best Xmas ever. I remember one in 1964 very vividly. That memory is still very alive.

    Oh, I did not expect to be experience tears coming here this evening. I wanted to visit the video to remember a song from my childhood with the Carpenters and wrap myself up in the warm beautiful comfort of Karen's voice. I did, but also felt grief at feeling her loss again as if it was fresh and happening now. Damn. Her voice is heaven in song.
