Shawn Phillips - A Christmas Song lyrics

Carpenters Christmas Portrait Christmas Song 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 (**)
