What Child, Nowell 03:45 |
What child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This is winter's gift
This is what begins
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
What child is this who, now awakes
In every heart, each morning
From dazzling light, through silver sky
Bring peace now from creation
This is winter's gift
This is what begins
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Born this day a new Nowell
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell. |

Star of Wonder 03:50 |
We three kings are coming again
Bearing gifts from the East
From the East
Some say a star will rise again
In the hearts of humankind
Some say we have been in exile
What we need is solar fire
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
A star of wonder
We bring gold and myrrh for him
From the East, frankincense
From the East
Some say a star will rise again
In the hearts of humankind
Some say we have been in exile
What we need is solar fire
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
A star of wonder
Of wonder. |

A Silent Night with You 03:22 |
The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Young lovers pass me by with their glow
That used to be us not so long ago
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you
Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm
Night after night, in such a cold world
Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead
Tell me the past is filling my head
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you
The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Lost in my daze, you slip past and say
"Girl, take my hand, see, nothing has changed
Now or then
I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you
All is calm
All is bright. |

Candle: Coventry Carol 03:18 |
Candle, candle, are the children safe now?
Unlike they were long ago
Candle, candle, are the children safe now?
Sing the song of long ago
Candle, candle, are the children safe now?
Unlike we were long ago
Candle, candle, guide us and protect us
From those in darkness
From those in darkness
Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay
O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor Youngling for Whom we do sing
By, by, lully, lullay
Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All young children to slay
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee
And ever morn and day
For Thy parting neither say nor sing
By, by, lully, lullay
Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay. |

Holly, Ivy and Rose 04:44 |
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
By ancient sibyls sung
A rose doth bear a flower
All in the cold midwinter
And at the midnight hour
And he waits for who to find
The heart she left behind
And he prays she'll find her way
To be his bride someday
Ivy
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly wants/woos the Rose
Holly and the Ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly bears the crown
Holly and the Ivy
The running of the deer
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
He waits for who to find
The heart she left behind
He prays she'll find her way
To be his bride someday
Ivy
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly wants/woos the Rose
Holly and the Ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly bears the crown
The holly and the Ivy
The running of the deer
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
Waits every year
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
The frozen air perfuming
That tiny bloom doth swell
Its rays the night illuming
The darkness quite dispel
O flower beyond compare
Bloom in our heart's midwinter
Restore the springtime here. |

Harps of Gold 03:10 |
I'll show you how it's done
You'll smile through the pain
Sweetly singing
Over the plain
Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
They'll show us how it's done
Out in the street
No, they don't have much
Oh, but listen to them sing
Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria
Gloria
Playing on their harps of gold
And the mountains in reply
Echo, echo, echo
And the mountains in reply
Echo, echo, echo
Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria
Gloria
Playing on their harps of
Playing on their harps of gold
Over the plain. |

Snow Angel 03:43 |
When the bell brought in Midwinter
I waited for a sign
A shadow, of a wing
This has always been
The children know this,
That she will come to them
To them
To them
Snow Angel, Snow Angel, Snow Angel
She'll make her way
And she'll stay
For a Time, For a time
In the dark of this Midwinter,
The moon slipped from night
A shadow, of a wing
This has always been
The Children know this...
And she'll stay, for a time
And it's time |

Jeanette, Isabella 04:28 |
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
With every candle raised
With every lantern flame
Light after light in every village
Welcoming home every friend
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Christ is born, O come behold Him
Mary calls us to adore Him
Hush, hush! Such a lovely mother
Hush, hush! Such a lovely son
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Wish every light will find its way
This is what every mother prays
Night after night
The lights, they will guide you
Welcoming home every friend
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Through the door we softly file in
To his manger bed we creep
Torches glow, the Babe discloses
Fairest snow with cheeks like roses
Hush, hush! Hush-a-by sweetly smiling
Hush, hush! Hush-a-by fast asleep, asleep
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella |

Pink and Glitter 04:57 |
Dawn Roses, that is what you call
All the girls in the world
Even the thorns
You're surrounded by an army of two
Who adore you
Our joy isn't about a present
Or a grown-up
Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me
But this year I'm thinking
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world with pink if you please
Shower the world
Shower the world
Black satin is what I wore
That, and our hearts left on the floor
How was I in that marshmallow snow
To know my life would change that night
Our joy isn't about a present
Or a grown-up
Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me
But this year I'm thinking
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world with pink if you please
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world in pink
We will paint the town
Champagne never looked so divine
On his lips the sweetest words:
"Love, you've given me quite a ride" |

Emanuel 03:00 |
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Long ago the earth lay sleeping
Waiting for the darkest night
To bring with it the dove of peace
Rising on the wings
Wings of the sun
Rising on the wings of the sun
O come, O come, thou Day spring bright
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel |

Winter's Carol 05:19 |
A winter's carol
First song of the robin
A winter's carol
I go through the land
And I can hear it
Ringing out
Ringing out
From pine to oak
Bringing out with the December snow
Ringing out
A gift to old
Wrapped in ribbons of gold
For the whole world
For the whole world
The summer queen
Has been in darkness
The summer queen
Has been in darkness
The summer queen
Surrenders to this
To him she reveals
The secrets
To him she reveals
The Wine Ham secrets
For a time
For a time rejoice
Fire and frost in marriage
Through a midwinter clearing
A forest greets the snowy evening
Year after year, the holly king
Passes the torch as it was intended
Through a midwinter clearing
A final kiss and a new beginning
Kiss on the queen wearing his wreath
Soon with the sun she will be ascending
Through a midwinter clearing
The forest greets a snowy evening
With wands of yew, the holly king
Passes the torch as it was intended
Passes the torch as it was intended
A winter's carol
The song of the robin
The sun is reborn
From the starry heavens
A winter's carol
Echoes the sound of wonder
And I can hear it
Ringing out
Ringing out
From pine to oak
Bringing out, with the December snow
Ringing out
A gift of old
Wrapped in ribbons of gold
For the whole world
For the whole world
For the whole world
Ringing out
Winter's carol
Ringing out
Winter's carol
Ringing out
Winter's |

Our New Year 04:13 |
Glasses raised, we all say "cheers"
could this be the one? Our New Year
Even after all this time, I don't know why
Why you went away
Lately I'm sure it's
You there, waving
In the distance
Closer, the closer I get
Disappointment tails
Yes it tails
They just have the same color of your hair
You're not there
Every corner that I turn
I've convinced myself
One day you'll be there
Choruses of Auld Lang Syne
Could this be the year
Yours and mine
Lately I'm sure it's
You there, waving
In the distance
Closer, the closer I get
Disappointment tails
yes it tails
They just have the same
Color of your hair
You're not there
Glasses raised we all say "cheers"
Could this be the one
This could be the one
Could this be the one
Our new year |
