James Taylor - The Christmas Song Lyrics






Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on 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 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 its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

    Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

    In the lane, snow is glistening
     A        G
    A beautiful sight,

    We're happy tonight.

    In the meadow we can build a snowman,
             C#               F#
    Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

    A                  D
    He'll say: Are you married?
                 A  Adim
    We'll say: No man, 
        F#m            E
    But you can do the job
                   A
    When you're in town.



    D
    Later on, we'll conspire,
          A
    As we dream by the fire
       A7    G
    To face unafraid, 
         A               A7
    The plans that we've made,
    F#m           E/A     D
    Walking in a winter wonderland.

    When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
                A
    Though your nose gets a chilling
       A        G    F#m     Em
    We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
    F#m           E/A     D
    Walking in a winter wonderland.

    Excelente y refrescante version de James Taylor, ideal para estos dias de fiestas navideñas.

  21. G.... ....

    I don't really believe my Mom when she says that JT can't sing Christmas, but he really can!!! I've always been a fan of him & I always will be! He rocks!! :) <3

    G.... ....

    Si creo que aunque Taylor tiene una cierta tendencia a la melancolia puede hacer unas estupendas versiones de Navidad como esta.

  22. B.... E....

    Ah Mr. JT sir, from our home (Ben G.) to yours home, Happy, Happy Hoildays * '2012/ '2013, Be Well and Stay Well, My Friend! :-)
