Merry Christmas Strait to You!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the one's I use to know
Where the tree top's glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

[Chorus:]
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your day's be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas's be white

[Chorus]

And may all your Christmas' be white

- Irving Berlin

We're looking for the King
The new Messiah
We're following the star
Shining brighter

Old man won't you help us
If you can
He shook his head
But he pointed his hand

There's a new kid in town
And he's lyin' in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose, Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

I see, you've traveled far
Bearin' treasures
You say these gifts are for
The new King's pleasure

I've heard
That a King might come
But up till now
There hasn't been one

But there's a new kid in town
And he's lyin' in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose, Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

There's a new kid in town
And he's lyin' in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose, Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

- Don Cook, Curly Putman, Keith Whitley

Sleighbells ring, are you listening?
In the land snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight,
Walking in the winter wonderland.

Gone away is the blue bird.
Here to stay is the new bird.
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in the winter wonderland.

[Chorus:]
In the meadow we can build a snowman.
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say, Are you married? We'll say, No man.
But you can do the job when you're in town.

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire.
We'll face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland.

[Chorus]

- Felix Bernard, Dick Smith

It's Christmas time I see the lines of people everywhere
Trying to pick out the gifts that show how much they care.
It makes me wish that I could see my friends on Christmas day,
And fill my list with lots of gifts, but I can only say

Here comes a Merry Christmas Strait to you.
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feeling blue.
Right or wrong, I'll sing my song and you will know just who
Sends a Merry Christmas Strait to you.

There's lots of ways to share the days of Christmas with your friends
A Christmas card, a tree to star, the gifts that make you grin.
I'd like to share this song with everyone who came our way.
Without a doubt the fire's not out, it burns for you today.

So here's a Merry Christmas Strait to you.
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feeling blue.
You've been so kind, you've crossed my mind
And nothing less will do.
Here's a Merry Christmas Strait to you.

Here comes a Merry Christmas, and to all who might have missed us
A very Merry Christmas Strait to you.

- Bob Kelly

[Chorus:]
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle all glory the baby awakes
Buy little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love the Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is night

[Chorus]

- James R. Murray

Let there be not one stranger to away in a manger
Let there be not one soul left untold
Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one
Who will gather the foe

For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ sake let everyone know
They all have the choice, so lift up your voice
Make sure they know

By Christmas Eve pray that everyone sees that
We've opened the eyes that were closed
For Christ's sake it's Christmas
And for Christ's sake let everyone know

For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ sake let everyone know
They all have the choice, so lift up your voice
Make sure they know

- Hank Cochran, Dean Dillon

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made out of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
There must of been some magic in
That ol' silk cap they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the snowman knew the snow was hot that day
So he said lets run and have some fun before I melt away
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin' catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop

Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' please don't cry
I'll be back again some day

- Walter E. Rollins, Steve Nelson

When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll go swingin' 'round the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a summer day
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

[Chorus:]
When Santa Claus slips over the border
It'll sound a little different when he sings
'Cause he'll hear those twin fiddle's playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

When it's Christmas time in Texas
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
People on the go children's faces all aglow
Grandpa's been chasin' grandma around
Tryin' to catch her neath the mistletoe
Everything is right the lone star shinin' bright
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

Frosty the snowman knew the snow was hot that day
So he said lets run and have some fun before I melt away
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin' catch me if you can

[Chorus]

And here's wishin' you all a merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Texas and me

- Benny McArthur

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's knotty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when your sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
O you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rutty toot, toots and rummy tum, tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

With curly head dogs to cuttle and hug
Elephants, ropes, and kitty card to
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
There gonna fill the toy lad all around with Christmas trees

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town

- John Frederick Coots, Haven Gillespie

What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be

It was just last Christmas that we quarreled
I knew I was wrong but you'd come back I had not doubt
Now a year has rolled around this Christmas once again
And what I'd give if you'd come walkin' in

What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be

What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be

What a merry Christmas this could be

- Cochran, Harlan Howard
