The Joy of Christmas (4​-​song EP)

by John Winskell

LYRICS: 1) Christmas Eve, yes it's time to believe, After counting the days and the nights, It's finally Christmas Eve. 2) Christmas Eve, close your eyes go to sleep, Let your dreams carry you tonight, It's finally Christmas Eve. Ooo, as we settle in for the night, Try to sleep, don't peek downstairs. Ooo, Santa is flying tonight, So pull the covers up tight. 3) Christmas Eve, snuggle down won't you please, And in the morning when you awake, You'll find the presents he'll leave.

LYRICS: 1) Christmas on the farm, in the country, Blankets of snow for miles. There's a pond by the oaks and it's frozen, And we can all skate around and around, For miles, As we dream about, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas Time. 2) Christmas on the farm, in the country, The wood stove's working overtime. There's a fireplace of stone where the stockings are hung, The red and green one, that is mine, I get so excited at, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas Time. Bridge: There's a cutter in the barn and it's ready to slide, On the snow trails, over the hills. The horses and the bells and the fields and the dells, We're ready to ride in the crisp fresh air. Christmas on the farm, in the country, We're walking through snow covered pines. We'll pick out one to be our Christmas tree, We'll take it home it's Christmas time.

1) We are carolers, come to sing, Take away cold winter's sting. We will share our joy in song, Bring forth good will, come sing along. Chorus: Sing, sing, On this eve let voices ring. Sing, sing, Lift your voices to the King. 2) As we walk from home to home, Don't let us all sing alone, Join us sing the words you know, Help our small group flourish and grow.

1) Christmas candles gently shimmering, Jack Frost patterns on the window shine, Little children's eyes are wondrously twinkling, The Joy of Christmas Time. 2) Angel choirs in the heavens are glimmering, Old church steeple bells join in time. Little children's eyes are wondrously twinkling, The Joy of Christmas Time. Gaily carolers singing by our window, Words and music that we love so well. Distant sleigh bells ring-ting-a-ling-a-ling, And join in a ding dong bell. 3) Icicles from our porch roof tinkling, Gold garland round our green tree shines. Little children's eyes are wondrously twinkling, The Joy of Christmas Time. Yule log lying by the hearth a-blazing, Snow flakes sparkle in the full moon's light. Distant sleigh bells ring-ting-a-ling-a-ling, A ride on a Christmas night.
