the christmas song chestnuts roasting on an open fire

John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Rocky Mountain Christmas album, and has also been released on the Christmas. Like A Lullaby album.

All through the year
Weââ?¬â?¢ve waited
Waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing
See winter time bringing
The happies season of all

Chestnuts roasting on a open fire
Jackfrost nippinââ?¬â?¢ at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistleoe
Will help o make he season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santaââ?¬â?¢s on his way
Heââ?¬â?¢s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every motherââ?¬â?¢s child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so Iââ?¬â?¢m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although itââ?¬â?¢s been said, many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas, to you

They know that Santaââ?¬â?¢s on his way
Heââ?¬â?¢s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every motherââ?¬â?¢s child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so Iââ?¬â?¢m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although itââ?¬â?¢s been said, many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas, to you
