Cole, Natalie - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) Lyrics

NAT HAS THE PRETTIEST VOICE EVER!!!

Such a beautiful version of the classic Mel Torme song by Natalie Cole. My mom got to know her well and she will be singing a tribute to her on this song  Tuesday December 11 8pm at Bogie's Westllake Village Ca for the "Christmas and You Concert" with Randy Waldman and Tom Saviano. Donation will be made to American Red Cross Wildfire Victims.

I have a hard time containing myself when I hear this version! I think it was way much better than the original by her dad! May they both "RIP"!!! So sad they both left this planet so soon when they did!

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the 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 gonna 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
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
“Merry Christmas to you”
