Christmas Is Coming
Guaraldi Vince Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
The song "Christmas is Coming" by Vince Guaraldi Trio is a classic Christmas tune that captures the essence of the holiday season, with its joyful celebrations and lively atmosphere. The first lines of the song, "Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer," set the tone for the rest of the melody. The song goes on to describe the festive ambiance of the season, with snowflakes in the air, carols everywhere, and sleigh bells ringing. The lyrics also reflect on the nostalgia of the holiday, with references to "olden times" and "ancient rhymes."
The final lines of the song express a universal wish for the holiday spirit to be present throughout the entire year. The chorus repeats the refrain, "Oh, that we could always see, such spirit through the year." This sentiment speaks to the deeper meaning of Christmas, beyond just the gift-giving and merry-making, and reminds us of the importance of kindness, generosity, and love.
