Silent night, holy night)
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round young virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
All is dark save the light

See the Eastern wise men
Bring gifts and homage to our King
Christ, the Savior is born
Jesus, the Savior is born

Silent night
(Holy night)
All is calm, all is bright
Poorest dreams from heaven
Afar heavenly host sing Hallelujah
(Christ, the Savior is born)
(Jesus, the Savior is born)

Silent night, holy night
Wondrous dark lend Thy light
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah, hail the King
Christ, the Savior is born
Jesus, the Savior is born

I'm 40 years young and for some reason I can't exactly explain I cannot get enough of this vintage classic sound & Christmas Songs. It's feels as GENUINE AS IT GETS. Bing Crosby just has one of those voices. JUST INCREDIBLE.

42 on friday......this was my childhood. I have a very jaded and cynical soul. Christmas is the time i get that spark of humanity back into me and seeknout those childhood feelings. We didn't have much growing up but mom and dad always made christmas special. My dad was the same way i am and it was the one tike of year he seemed to have hope.

Creo que irrepetible, fue una época de aguas muy claras. Ellos se llevaron la música y la Fe al cielo.
