Favourite Christmas Carols - Do You Hear What I Hear?

 

So here is December and also the beginning of Advent.  I love the four weeks of Advent and this year because the first Sunday was the 1st of December it is exactly 25 days this year.  That doesn't happen too often.  

A blogger friend of mine puts up holiday questions and answers and asks her friends to answer the questions too and I do but had yet to share the questions and answers here but I am going to spread them out and put memories and reasons too.  

The first one is favourite holiday song and I will put my top favourite over the weeks until Christmas.  The first one is 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' but only by Bing Crosby.  Others have done this song and they do okay but Bing managed a power behind the words that really made the song way more powerful than any other artist.  

Here are the words of the song and I will share the YouTube video of his performance and you may see what I mean.  

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

Have a wonderful Monday
