This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Rocky Mountain Christmas album, and has also been released on the Christmas. Like A Lullaby album.
All through the year
We¡¯ve waited
Waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing
See winter time bringing
The happies season of all
Chestnuts roasting on a 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 mistleoe
Will help o make he season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
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
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
