bing crosby, do you hear what i hear

this is one of those holiday tunes that i simply must sing along to. you can, too – i’ve included the lyrics below. my dog, rudy, howls right along with me. it’s a beautiful thing.

 

said the night wind to the little lamb,

do you see what i see?

way up in the sky, little lamb,

do you see what i see?

a star, a star, dancing in the night

with a tail as big as a kite

with a tail as big as a kite

 

said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,

do you hear what i hear?

ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,

do you hear what i hear?

a song, a song, high above the trees

with a voice as big as the sea

with a voice as big as the sea

 

said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,

do you know what i know?

in your palace warm, might king,

do you know what i know?

a child, a child shivers in the cold

let us bring him silver and gold

let us bring him silver and gold

 

said the king to the people everywhere,

listen to what i say

pray for peace, people everywhere

listen to what i say

the child, the child, sleeping in the night

he will bring us goodness and light

he will bring us goodness and light
