Christmas Auld Lang Syne
Bobby Darin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When mistletoe and tinsel glow
Paint a yuletide valentine
Back home I go to those I know
For a Christmas auld lang syne.

And as we gather 'round the tree
Our voices all combine
In sweet accord to thank the Lord
For a Christmas auld lang syne.

When sleigh bells ring and choirs sing
And the children's faces shine
With each new toy we share their joy
With a Christmas auld lang syne.

We sing His praise this day of days
And pray next year this time
We'll all be near to share the cheer
Of a Christmas auld lang syne.

"Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New Year!"





In sweet accord we thank the Lord
For a Christmas auld lang syne.

Never take a Christmas gathering with family and friends for granted... one day it will all be a distant memory. “Nothing is as beautiful as what we see no more.” This tune captures the feelings we keep dear in our hearts.

@GenevieveThornton

Why don’t they play this on the radio?? It has such sweet meaning.

@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont

Because program directors are stuck on "Holly Jolly Christmas". Over. And Over. Ad Nauseum.
