The Christmas Waltz
Robert Goulet & Carol Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Candles gleaming inside
Painted cany canes on the the tree
Santa's on his way,
He's filled his slay
With things, things for you and for me
It's the time of year
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas to you

The song continues with the chorus describing how this is the time of the year when the world falls in love and every song seems to say "Merry Christmas." The lyrics express the hope that everyone's new year dreams come true. The song winds down with a reminder that, in the spirit of the holiday, the singer wishes the listener and their loved ones the same blessings of Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

This is arguably the best Christmas Song ever.
@beckyjantzen134
Definitely in the top 5! Yet all you hear on the radio is The Christmas Song ("chestnuts roasting on an open fire") which is nowhere near as good as this one. I'm fortunate to still have this album and listen to it every Christmas.

This song and the album bring back so many memories. It's my favorite album of all the tire company albums, and this song especially. Beutiful!
@RondaBernstein
Someone else who remembers the Goodyear Christmas records! 😮😮 I just bought the entire set on eBay a few years back, all because I loved this one in particular, as we had it at home, then learned there were more. I had even recorded the fully scratched record onto a tape so I could still listen.

Love this song...and this was the only Chistmas album we had for years. Thanks for posting it so I could share it with my sister who is miles away from me right now! So awesome!

My parents had this album, and I grew up with my mom playing it every day in December when my sister and I were getting ready for school. Love it.
