Born in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, with his parents Mr. & Mrs. William Gilman Jr., Gilman first received notice as a performer at age seven, attracting the attention of a local vocal coach, Angela Bacari, who later became his manager. Eventually he met with Ray Benson (of Asleep at the Wheel) who helped him record demos, including "Roly Poly". Two months later he was signed by Sony Music Nashville.
His 2000 debut album, One Voice, had a very widely-played single that crossed over well into top 40 airplay. The album reached multi-platinum status, and earned a Grammy nomination. Generally touted as a child prodigy, Gilman appeared on various talk shows. Classic Christmas (which was certified gold) was released later in the year.
He released Dare to Dream (certified gold) on Sony BMG Music Entertainment/Epic Records in 2001, and in 2003 released Music Through Heartsongs, an album inspired by the poetry of Mattie Stepanek. Later in 2003, he performed at a benefit for The Station nightclub fire. In May 2005, he released Everything and More, his first album since his voice changed.
Billy's latest album, self-titled, was released in September 2006 on the Image Entertainment label. The first single off the upcoming album, Southern Star, heralds a return to his country music roots. Billy is scheduled to begin working on his next album with Eddie Galan and Andrew Lane of Trilogy Productions.
Warm and Fuzzy
Billy Gilman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wonder what ol' Santa's bringing
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year
Snow flakes fall the temp is dropping
Families out together shopping
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year
Making all our toys
Reindeer hooves on all the roofs
Of good little girls and boys
Big old cups of steaming cider
Fall asleep by a cozy fire
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year
[Repeat: 2nd & 3rd verses]
Santa's on his way
with his sleigh bells ringing and choirs singing, and the excitement of what he will bring fills the air. It's that special time of year, the warm and fuzzy time, filled with snowflakes falling and temperatures dropping. Families venture out, braving the cold, to shop together and prepare for the holiday season. The elves are working overtime to make sure all the toys are ready, and the reindeer's hooves can be heard on the roofs of good little boys and girls. It's a time for big old cups of steaming cider and falling asleep by the cozy fire. The warm and fuzzy time of year is a time of magic and joy, where memories are made and traditions are upheld, all in the anticipation of Santa's arrival.

Sleigh bells ringing, choirs singing
The joyful sounds of the holiday season fill the air
Wonder what ol' Santa's bringing
Anticipation for the gifts that Santa will deliver
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year
The season brings feelings of warmth and comfort
Snow flakes fall the temp is dropping
The weather is getting colder and snow is falling
Families out together shopping
Families are spending time together and shopping for gifts
Elves are working overtime
The elves are busy making toys for children
Making all our toys
The elves are creating toys for children to enjoy
Reindeer hooves on all the roofs
The sound of reindeer on rooftops is heard as Santa makes his deliveries
Of good little girls and boys
Santa brings gifts to those who have been good
Big old cups of steaming cider
Warm drinks like cider are enjoyed during the holidays
Fall asleep by a cozy fire
The warmth of a fire is comforting and encourages relaxation
Santa's on his way
Santa is coming to bring gifts and joy to all

Need more song from Billy 😢 I love his voice ever since I was young
John Smith
Each and every December, I queue up youtube and pop up this marvelous, good-feeling gem of a song. The lyrics pay homage to the sweet, good things about the Christmas season. Billy Gilman and the song together are absolutely adorbs and brings me so much joy, year after year. Thank you, Billy, for something sweet and memorable that endures.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite videos of Billy Gilman of all time. It is so timeless because of the music and because he's wearing a suit and because of the overall presentation of both his performance and the video itself. And he really acts like he's enjoying what he is doing and that is what's so hot about it.
