Sing Me the Songs of Christmas
“Buckshot Dot”* © 2012, ® 2020
Don’t sing me songs that make me sad,
Sing songs about Christmas joys!
Sing me the songs about peace and love,
Let us all make a joyful noise!
Chorus: Sing me the songs of Christmas,
The wonderful carols of old
That tell of the birth of a tiny child
By prophets and kings foretold.
Sing me the songs of the Prince of Peace,
Of joy and of firelight bright,
Of holly and ivy and mistletoe,
Sweet children whose songs delight.
Don’t tell me stories about lost love,
Tell me only of love that lasts.
Let us go dancing all through the streets,
As in all of our Christmases past.
Chorus: Tell me the tales of Christmas,
The wonderful stories of old
That tell of the birth of a tiny child
By prophets and kings foretold.
Yes, let us go dancing through the streets
Where colored lights shine on high,
Merrily greeting the people we’re meeting
As we go a-caroling by.
As we go a-dancing and singing,
Bells ringing,
As we go a-caroling by!
