John Legend - A Legendary Christmas Album Lyrics

Oh yeah
Candles burnin' low
Lots of mistletoe toe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choirs singin' carols
Right outside my door

All these things and more
(All these things and more my baby)
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
(That's what Christmas means to me, my love) ah yeah

And you know what I mean
I see your smilin' face
Like I'd never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
And the little thoughts you give me
Touch my heart for sure

Oh, all these things and more
(All these things and more, my darling)
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
(That's what Christmas means to me, my love)ah yeah

I feel like runnin' wild
I feel just like a little child
Bring you 'neath the mistletoe
I kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas, baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas, baby)
And such happiness in the comin' year

Oh
Let's deck the halls with holly
Singin' "Silent Night"
Dress the trees with angel hair
Pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight

Oh, all these things and more, darlin'
(All these things and more, my darlin')
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
(That's what Christmas means to me, my love) oh yeah, yeah

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Oh, ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas Day

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Oh, they're playing

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (fa la la la la la la)
Oh, ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink in bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big day
And above all the bustle
You'll hear
Oh, they're playing

Silver bells (silver bells), oh, silver bells (silver bells)
Yeah, it's Christmas time in the city (fa la la la la la la)
Oh, ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Oh, soon we will come together
We're gonna love each other
Just let those silver bells play
Yeah, people around the world can dance to the sound
Of Christmas Day (Christmas Day)
Let them play all those

Silver bells (silver bells), oh, silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (fa la la la la la la)
Oh, ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), I hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas, come on now

(Fa la la la la la la)

Yeah, soon it will be Christmas
Oh, Christmas Day
Hey, soon it will be, yeah, Christmas Day, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our 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 all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Yes, and have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Oh here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days (happy golden days) of yore (of yore)
Faithful friends who are dear to us

Merry little Christmas (merry little Christmas) yeah yeah

Baby, I can't wait for late December
The smell of cinnamon and pine
But we'll be taking out the Christmas timber
And hanging up the fairy lights
We can have a party, you can sing the carols
We're not going out at all
I got everything I need right here
There's no one else I need to call

'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down (snow falling down)
We're snuggled up inside
We got love with us, it's a good Christmas
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

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

Cozy up right by the fireplace and watch our favorite movies play
Cooking up a feast for kings and queens
Our castle is our sacred place
And we can have a party, dancing to the carols
We're not going out at all
I got everything I need right here
I know we're gonna have a ball

'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down (snow falling down)
We're snuggled up inside
We got love with us, it's a good Christmas
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

Make a Christmas vow (make a Christmas vow)
All we need is now (all we need is now)
All we have is us and we're more than enough
Now we made this house a home
A beautiful world of our own
Do this every year, we're not leaving here

'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down (snow falling down)
We're snuggled up inside
We got love with us, it's a good Christmas
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

Oh, no place like home at Christmastime
Yeah, no place like home at Christmastime
Sing it with me, y'all, come on
Hey, no place like home at Christmastime
No place like home at Christmastime
Oh baby, feels good to be home
Feels good to be home, yeah
There's no place like home, there's no place like home
Cooking meals, baby, yeah, ooh

I don't need my stocking filled with toys
And I don't need no gifts to bring me joy
Baby, I-I haven't hung my mistletoe
'Cause without you, baby, I can't see no point

Baby I hope Santa brings you to me
'Cause it's all I wished for this Christmas Eve
No, I don't want much, your love is all I need
Baby, I hope Santa brings you to me

I can't sing Christmas songs if you're not home
No, I-I haven't hung my mistletoe
'Cause without you, baby, I can't see no point

Baby, I hope Santa brings you to me
'Cause it's all I wished for this Christmas Eve

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

Merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
Ooh
Merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

Well, I'm feeling mighty fine, y'all
Got good music on my radio
I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
I wanna kiss you, baby
Standing 'neath the mistletoe

Santa came down the chimney
About half past three
Left all these pretty presents
That you see before me
Merry Christmas, baby
You sure been good to me

Haven't had a toddy this morning
But I'm lit up like a Christmas tree

Hey, merry Christmas (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
And a happy New Year (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
Merry Christmas (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
And a happy New Year (very happy New Year)
It's so nice (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
Be with my baby (just to be with my baby)
It feels so good (it's so good, yeah)
To be with you (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
Said, said, merry Christmas (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
And a happy New Year (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)
M-m-m-merry Christmas (merry Christmas, ooh yeah)

Give love on Christmas Day (on Christmas Day)
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas Day (on Christmas Day)
No greater gift is there than love, love, love
Merry Christmas, baby

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer, yeah
Fun for all, the children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near, yeah
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Yeah, Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, yeah, yeah
This Christmas time, yeah, yeah, yeah
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate
It's Christmas
Celebrate, oh, oh, it's Christmas time right now
This year, this year
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate

All the trees alight, all the holly streaming
The town has come to life, waiting for Christmas
I still feel low, searching for some meaning
Until you come home, I'm waiting for Christmas with you

Christmas without you, a long, dark shade of blue
I feel like I've been waiting here forever
All the gifts arrive, all the children singing
Gathered 'round the fire, waiting for Christmas
I could sing along, but I can't find the meaning
The melody feels wrong, I'm waiting for Christmas with you

Oh, when I see your face on this Christmas Day
I'll know the light of love brought us together
But until that hour, my eyes will be wide open
I'm like a little child, waiting for Christmas
When that morning comes, we can count our blessings
It was worth it all along, waiting for Christmas with you

Softly they fall, where do they go?
(Purple snowflakes)
Cover the ground, without a sound
(Gentle snowflakes)
Fall from the sky, before your eyes
(It's so thrilling)
Blankets of white, brighten the night
(Such a feeling)

They seem to say, that our love is
Here to stay
We'll be cozy and warm
Until summer flowers bloom

Here in our midst, we're surely blessed
(Chestnuts roasting)
Over the heat, gee, ain't life sweet?
(Tootsies toasting)
Drifting on air, without a care
(Purple snowflakes)
Cover the ground, without a sound
(Love the snowflakes)

I'm sure as snowflakes
Fall from the gloom
I will always remember this night
Here with you
Yeah, snowflakes
Pretty purple snowflakes
Snowflakes
Pretty purple snowflakes

Here in our midst, we're surely blessed
(Chestnuts roasting)
Over the heat, gee, ain't life sweet?
(Tootsies toasting)
Drifting on air, without a care
(Purple snowflakes)
Cover the ground, without a sound
(Lovely snowflakes)

I'm sure as snowflakes
Fall from the gloom
I will always remember this night
Here with you
Yeah, I say, snowflakes
Pretty purple snowflakes
Snowflakes (snowflakes)
Pretty purple snowflakes

(Snowflakes) snowflakes are falling
(Pretty purple snowflakes) falling, falling
(Snowflakes) and I
Got you here in my arm
(Snowflakes)
(Pretty purple snowflakes)
(Snowflakes)
(Pretty purple snowflakes)

All through the year we waited
Waited through Spring and Fall
To hear silver bells ringing
And Winter time bringing
The happiest season of all

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

Oh 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 we're 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 we're offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
To you you you you you
A Merry little Christmas, to you

Ah

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Oh, Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
Oh, this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear

The time of year to be with the ones you love
Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain

Because I'll be happy, happy once again
Mm-mm, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
No more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again
Oh, friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
Oh, this is Christmas, yeah, Christmas, my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love
Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again

Wrap me up in your love, wrap me up in your love
Wrap me up in your love this Christmas
Wrap me up in your love

Let's enjoy the holiday, be here and now, this time and place
Laughter while the children play
These memories, they'll never fade
Let them open every gift, and while they do, we'll sneak a kiss
And, baby, when the day is through, my only gift is you

Wrap me up in your love this Christmas
Wrap me up in your love
You've been at the top of my wish list
Hoping I've been good enough
(This season, you're my reason)
Oh, you know just what I want, yeah
(Both giving, both receiving)
So wrap me up in your love

Ay, we don't need no mistletoe
I'll kiss you, love, everywhere you go
There's nothing left here but the tree
The fireplace, and you and me
We'll pour another glass of wine
It's almost midnight, this is our time
And we won't even feel the cold, we can let it snow

Wrap me up in your love this Christmas, wrap me up in your love
You've been at the top of my wish list
Hoping I've been good enough
(This season, you're my reason)
You're the only one I want, yeah
(Both giving, both receiving)
So wrap me up in your love
(Oh, this season, you're my reason)
Oh, you're the only one I want, yeah
(Both giving, both receiving)
So wrap me up in your love

Oh, look out, out the window
It's a snow globe, baby shake it, can you shake it?
Light the candle, let the fire glow, and I'll hold you close
(I'll hold you close)

Yeah, wrap me up in your love
(Wrap me up in your love)
Yeah, wrap me up in your love
Oh, wrap me up in your love, oh
Wrap me up in your love this Christmas, wrap me up in your love
Wrap me up in your love, yeah

I'm a thousand miles away, it's not snowing in LA
But I'm phoning just to say, I'm sorry
All the flights have been delayed, I've got nowhere to stay
But if I can find my way, I'll hurry

Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
Just tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
And under the Christmas tree, together yet we will be
I promise

I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

And I know it's all on you, keep it together like you're glue
And everything you do, I notice
So I'll bring presents, I'll bring wine
A mistletoe for you and I
And I'll be there just in time to show it

Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
And tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
Under the Christmas tree, together yet we will be
I promise

I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

Whoa, I'll find my way back to California
I'll follow the map, yeah, to somewhere warmer
I'll carry my bags just until I can hold you again

Oh I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

Ever you ready, brother unite us
Ever you been bad, all the united

Woo, Christmas time with you
I made a little list of my favorite things to do
I count one, two, three four, up to ten
From the beginning until the end
Celebrating merry, merry Christmas time with you

So have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)
Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)
Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)
'Cause I spent it with you

Hey
Sometimes you just need to be with the one you love
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the ones you love
That's what we used to say, woo
'Cause I spent it with you
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You ain't sweatin', you ain't doin' it right

Yeah
I had no intention I would get f*cked up tonight
But I looked in your eyes and they went through me like a knife
I came here with my crew, I lost them
Came with my cool, I dropped it
And if I'm being honest, I'm being honest

I can't think when you're looking like that
Can't breathe when you're moving like that
Tell me when you're gonna do me like that (ayy)
I'm too weak and I'm never like that
Light-speed and I think I might crash
One trip, damn, I might never go back

But everything's gonna be alright
I think I just met my wife (yeah, I said it)
I know it's gonna be a good night
I think I just met my wife (oh, oh, alright)

Maybe it's the music or the red stain on your lips
I'm wondering when the right time is to go in for a kiss
But I'm thinking past that lover, I'm ready to meet your momma
If I'm being honest, I'm being honest

I can't think when you're looking like that
Can't breathe when you're moving like that
Tell me when you're gonna do me like that, like that
I wish you knew what I'm thinking right now
I don't know if I can say it out loud
I don't know if I can say it out loud

But everything's gonna be alright
I think I just met my wife (oh, oh)
I know it's gonna be a good night
I think I just met my wife (hey)

Baby, baby, baby
You got me talking crazy
I figure if I say it
You just might be my lady
Baby, it's you, yeah
Baby, it's you, yeah
And ooh, I feel like something good is 'bout to be going on
And baby it's you, yeah, yeah
And baby it's you, yeah

And everything's gonna be alright
I think I just met my wife
Yeah, I know it's gonna be a good night
I think I just met my wife (c'mon)
Everything's gonna be alright
I think I just met my wife (sing it with me)
I know it's gonna be a good night
I think I just met my wife (alright, c'mon)

Everything's gonna be alright (woo)
I think I just met my wife
I know it's gonna be a good night
I think I just met my wife (oh, oh)
