Noel: Christmas Eve, 1913 Lyrics - A Christmas Together - John Denver & The Muppets - John Denver

A frosty Christmas Eve, when the stars where shining 

I traveled for the home, where westward falls the hill 

And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley 

distant music reached me, peels of bells were ringing. 

Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmases 

when shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields 

and they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell 

whether it were angels, or the bright stars a-singing 

But to me heard a far, it was starry music 

the singing of the angels, the comfort of our Lord 

words of old that come a traveling, by the riches of the times 

and I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill 

and I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill
