Lyrics for December 2017 Daily Sparkle CD Songs Track 1 Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire by Nat King Cole Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the 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 gonna 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 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 Track 2 I Wouldn’t Trade You For the World by The Bachelors I wouldn't trade you for the world Or the pearls in the sea All the treasures of a kingdom That's how much you mean to me You fill all my sweetest dreams With a love so divine You're like precious gems and spices It's so wonderful you're mine I love your tender lips My heart is at your fingertips I love the starlight in your eyes More than you will ever realize I wouldn't trade you for the world Or the heavens above I have heaven here on earth, dear Since you've given me your love Track 3 Simple Gifts by Voices of Liberty ‘Tis a gift to be simple, ‘tis a gift to be free ‘Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be And when we find ourselves in the place just right We’ll be in the valley of love and delight When true simplicity is gained To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed To turn, turn, turn, will be our delight Till by turning, turning we come round right ‘Tis a gift to be simple, ‘tis a gift to be free ‘Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be And when we find ourselves in the place just right We’ll be in the valley of love and delight ‘Tis a gift to be simple,‘tis a gift to be free Track 4 A Handful Of Songs by Tommy Steele I've got a handful of songs to sing you Can't stop my voice when it longs to sing you New songs and blue songs And songs to bring you happiness No more, no less Moreover, wherever we may roam to Or any shore where we might be blown to We know that we're gonna feel at home to La bella musica, jazz, and cha cha cha Calypsos and street vendor cries Strains of old refrains, sleepy time baby lullabies I've got a handful of songs to sing you I've got a heart full of love to bring you True love for you love, and love's a thing you keep So here's a handful of songs going cheap Just a handful of songs Just a handful of songs Only a handful of songs! Track 5 Mocking Bird Hill by Burl Ives When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill And kisses the roses 'round my window sill Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee, it gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee, there's peace and good will You're welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill Got a three-cornered plow and an acre to till And a mule that I bought for a ten-dollar bill There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill But it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mockingbird Hill Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee, it gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee, there's peace and good will You're welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill And survey all my kingdom while everything's still Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee, it gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee, there's peace and good will You're welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill Track 6 Fire Down Below by Shirley Bassey Don’t believe my eyes, they’re as cold as ice But I’m not so cold, let me put you right Keeping the temperature so low, this is a work of art For there’s a fire down below, down below in my heart And my crazy lips, they’re such lazy lips But they’ll come to life, should we come to grips If you have anything in mind, warn you before you start For there’s a fire down below, down below in my heart Now that you’re getting my number Know what I’m talking about Pile on the coal and the lumber Don’t let the fire go out I’ll admit my face is the quiet type It can all be changed When the time is right Call out the Volunteer brigade Call out the Fire Car For there’s a fire down below, down below in my heart Track 7 Winter Wonderland by Doris Day Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin' In the lane, snow is glistenin' A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is a new bird He sings his love song As we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then 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!"

Capital C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree H is for the happiness with all the family R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane S is for the stocking hanging on the chimney wall T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list S is for the Santa who makes every kid his pet Be good and he'll bring you everything In your Christmas Alphabet!
