A Family Christmas Album Lyrics by Andrea Bocelli

---

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?

Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?

A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear

A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
Do you know what I know?

In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Listen to what I say

Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say
Listen to what I say

The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Do you hear what I hear

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
'Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

Take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

The First Noël

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

And by the light of that same star
Three Wise Men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

This star drew nigh to the north-west
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Then entered in those Wise Men three
Fell reverently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we'll always be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we'll always be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me (behind me)
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly (bluebirds fly)
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

Buon Natale

Buon Natale, means Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale, to everyone
Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale may all your wishes come true
Buon Natale in Italy means
A Merry Christmas to you

Far away across the sea
In sunny Italy
There's a quaint little town
Not a clock has been wound
For over a century



They don't know the time or year
And no one seems to care
And this is the reason
The Christmas season
Is celebrated all year

Buon Natale, means Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale, to everyone
Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale may all your wishes come true
Buon Natale in Italy means
A Merry Christmas to you

Joy to the World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

He rules the world, with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love (and wonders of his love, love, love)
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Joy to the world, the Lord is come

The Greatest Gift

(Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)

Come and lay your head upon my shoulder
Look outside the stars are shining bright
Even though it's turned a little colder
We can light a fire, stay inside

Hear the angels sing
Hear the angels sing
Hallelujah from above
Singing peace on earth
There'll be peace on earth
If we open up our hearts
And give a little love
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh)
The greatest gift is love
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh)

Gather friends and family 'round the table
Remember those we love no longer here
Together take a moment and be grateful
For the joy, for the tears

Hear the angels sing
Hear the angels sing
Hallelujah from above
Singing peace on earth
There'll be peace on earth
If we open up our hearts
And give a little love
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
And give a little love
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
And give a little love

Hear the angels sing
Hear the angels sing
Hallelujah from above
Singing peace on earth
There'll be peace on earth
If we open up our hearts
And give a little love

Hear the angels singing
Hallelujah from above
(There'll be) Peace on earth there'll be
If we open up our hearts
And give a little love
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh)
A Hallelujah from above
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh)
The greatest gift is love

When Christmas Comes to Town

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even thought it's far
He'll find me Christmas Eve
I guess that Santa's busy
'Cause he's never come around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town

The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas cheer
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends that come around
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about but never really seen
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about but never really seen
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way

When Santa's sleight bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound

And all the dreams of the children
Once lost will all be found
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For the rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The road is so long (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For the left and for right ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done? (If you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)
A very merry Christmas (a very merry Christmas)
And a happy new year (and a happy new year)
Let's hope it's a good one (let's hope it's a good one)
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done? (If you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)

Il Giorno Più Speciale

Quante finestre colorate
Bianche le strade illuminate
C'è qualcosa nell'aria
Di speciale che ti cambia
E ti riaccende il cuore

In ogni parte del mondo
Ogni lingua ogni volto
Non servono parole
Per spiegare cos'è
Per sentirne il senso e il calore

Delle note lontane
Una canzone da cantare
Il giorno di Natale

Il giorno più speciale
Che puoi immaginare

Idea di pace e di uguaglianza
Prego nel tempo che si ferma

A Natale scriverò
Una lettera che vola
Sì però raccontami
Ancora quella storia

Di una stella che appare
Su nel cielo per guidare
In mezzo al freddo e il gelo

Il giorno più speciale
Che puoi immaginare

Una semplice canzone
Da cantare tutti insieme
Dedicata anche a te

Una semplice canzone
Un augurio d'ogni bene

Dedicata a te
A chi ami e a chi non c'è

Il giorno più speciale
Il giorno di Natale

I'll Be Home for Christmas

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
