one of my favorite introductions to a christmas song. bing crosby:

say friends, wherever you are tonight, whether you’re in the snows of new england or up in the northwest, or on the warm tropical beaches of the florida coast, i really hope you’re getting into the spirit of this christmas sing. i don’t mean just sitting back in your easy chair listenin’ to us have all the fun, i mean throwing back your heads and opening up your hearts, singing as loud or as pretty as you know how. gang singing is a lot more fun than you’ll ever know unless, well, unless you give it a whirl sometime.

so come on, now, join me in “the first noel.” if you don’t know the words, well, hum a little or tap your feet, or gee-wiz, do somethin’…you ready?

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
