The Christmas Song (chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) Lyrics - 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 

We'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 nippin' at your nose 

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir 

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 Santa's on his way 

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh 

And every mother's child is going to spy 

To see if reindeer really know how to fly 

And so I'm offering this simple phrase 

To kids from one to ninety-two 

Although it's been said, many times 

Many ways 

Merry Christmas, to you 

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 going to spy 

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase 

To kids from one to ninety-two 

Although it's been said, many times 

Many ways 

Merry Christmas, to you
