Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule and I have a short list of personal favorites.
Without exception all my choices not only include
the song but the best performer of that song and so in no particular order here
is my fifteenth selection.
"Christmas Dream" written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
with German lyrics by Andre Heller and Performed by Perry Como & The London Boy Singers
Watch me now, here I go, all
I need’s a little snow!
Starts me off, sets the
theme,
helps me dream my Christmas
dream,
Every year I dream it,
hoping things will change,
An end to the crying, the
shouting, the dying,
And I hope you will dream it
too!
It’s Christmas,
Remember?
We’ve got to remember!
So, light the light, I’m
home tonight,
I need you to warm me, to
calm me, to love me!
To help me to dream my
Christmas dream!
Crazy things, said an’ done,
Every single day but one!
Every night should, I
believe,
Be the same as Christmas
Eve,
Nights should all be silent,
Days should all slow down,
An end to the hurry, the
noise and the worry!
And I hope you believe that
too!
It’s Christmas,
Remember?
Does no one remember?
The whole world needs, a
Christmas dream,
We need it to warm us, to
calm us, to love us . . .
To help us to dream our
Christmas dream!
(Lüge dirigiert die Welt, Ehrlichkeit bringt selten
Geld,
Jeder möcht' Sieger sein, wer verliert bleibt ganz
allein;
Doch manch Will' ist möglich durch die Fantasie
Du stirbst um zu leben und nimmst um zu geben;)
Einmal im Jahr wird alles wahr
Zu Weihnacht vergiss nicht,
Vergiss es gewiss nicht.
The whole world needs, a Christmas dream,
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us . . .
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us . . .
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us . . .
To help us to dream our Christmas dream!
