Musical Advent Calendar - Day 27 -Christmas Time Is Here

"Christmas Time Is Here" is a popular Christmas song written for the 1965 TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas, One of the very first animated Christmas special produced for network TV in the United States, Since the song had become a hit, it was then released on the album A Charlie Brown Christmas as two tracks: an instrumental version by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and a vocal version as sung by the cast of the television special. This is simply my tribute to a great songwriter and musician, Mr. Vince Guaraldi. I play all the instruments and sing all the parts on the track.

Christmas Time Is HereWritten byMaurice Lee MendelsonVince GuaraldiChristmas time is hereHappiness and cheerFun for all that children callTheir favorite time of the yearSnowflakes in the airCarols everywhereOlden times and ancient rhymesOf love and dreams to shareSleigh bells in the airBeauty everywhereYuletide by the firesideAnd joyful memories thereChristmas time is hereWe'll be drawing nearOh, that we could always seeSuch spirit through the yearOh, that we could always seeSuch spirit through the year
