Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ~ Isaiah 7:14
Christmas Song Lyrics Compiled by Charles P. Scott
Sleigh Ride
Lyrics
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too.
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo".
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go, let's look at the show.
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
It's grand, just holding your hand.
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we.
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be.
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two.
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray.
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day.
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop.
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop.
pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy.
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie.
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives.
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too.
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo".
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
