The Christmas Wish Composer(s): Dan Wheetman Performer(s): John Denver
I don't know if you believe in Christmas Or if you have presents underneath the Christmas tree But if you believe in love, that will be more than enough For you to come and celebrate with me
For I have held the precious gift that love brings Even though I never saw a Christmas star I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside And I have seen it shining from afar
Christmas is the time to come together A time to put all differences aside
And I reach out my hand to the family of Man
To share the joy I feel at Christmas time
For the truth that binds us all together I would like to say a simple prayer That at this special time you will have true peace of mind And love to last throughout the coming year
And if you believe in love That will be more than enough For peace to last throughout the coming year

Christmas time was coming and God was wond'ring What kind of present he could give his friends Christmas time was coming all the shops were saying And God didn't know what he could send Should he give a tree for decorating Should he give a star so clear and bright Maybe just a single perfect diamond Don't they say that diamonds are forever?
Christmas time was coming and God was thinking That kind of present might be too passe In the new millennium something technological Would suit the information age Should he give a fleet of brand new Porsches Or a Bang and Olufsen hi-fi? Then perhaps it should be something simpler Maybe just a game for the computer
Christmas time was coming and God said Hey, I think I've got the very thing to give right here Modern and spectacular it may not be but They'll appreciate it through the years. Though it will be small, it will be special It'll change the course of history I'll even write a song for its arrival I'm going to give a tiny brand new baby And that baby will be me

I ought to know, what it's like to lose at love I've done it enough and I ought to know But then you came my way and towed away the fear of pain I won't lose again, this time I know

I know how it feels, when you try and try again And then you never win; I know how it feels Oh, but this time around, I fin'lly found what it's all about They write songs about the way that I feel
I've got a winner in you No way I can lose A love I can hold on to I've got a winner in you
I've got a winner in you No way I can lose A love I can hold on to I've got a winner in you

Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
"Fear not, then," said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might"
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
this holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
In Bethlehem, in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which his mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où des bergers étonnés levèrent les yeux vers le ciel Une étoile semblait dire "Suivez-moi, je vous conduis Il est né cette nuit!"
Ils ont suivi cette étoile Sur les chemins de Judée Et des quatre coins du monde D'autres les ont imité Et ce chant, comme une source A traversé le pays Il est né cette nuit!
La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où, au cur de tous les hommes Un peu d'amour descend du ciel Tant de choses les séparent Cette étoile les unit C'est la plus belle nuit!
