英文歌曲:Melodies of Christmas

Melodies¹ of Christmas

David Archuleta

There's something in the melodies that the Christmas season brings.
Joy and laughter in the air, smiling faces everywhere.
All familiar melodies, bring back special memories.
They remind us, they remind us.

Merrily the choir² sounds, spreading christmas joy around.
Filling hearts with cheer, may it last through all the year.
Happy Christmas melodies, bring back faded memories.
They remind us, they remind us.

(CHORUS)
Join us and sing, the sounds of heaven and nature ring.
With family, rocking around the Christmas tree.
Carols of hope, of the greatest story ever told. (Sing the melodies of Christmas)
Sing the melodies of Christmas.

There's something about the melodies, of Santa Claus and Christmas trees.
Favorite songs of Nat and Bing,
Elvis, Josh, and Celine.
It's the special time of year, bringing friends and family near.
To remind us, of love and kindness.

(CHORUS)

Joyful³ messages you may find, peace and happiness through all mankind.
In the melodies an offering, of the love that flows from the Heavenly King.
Of the love that flows from the Heavenly King.

Raise your voice, let us sing.
It's the message that these songs can bring.
'Round the fire, 'round the tree,
singing carols merrily.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

One more melody⁴ to sing at Christmas, one more memory of Christmas cheer.
Old familiar melodies, bring back special memories.

Raise your voice, let us sing.
It's the message that these songs can bring.
'Round the fire, 'round the tree,
singing carols merrily.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

Filling hearts with Christmas cheer, may it last through all the year.
Something in the melodies, that the Christmas season brings.
Joy and laughter in the air, smiling faces everywhere.

Happy Christmas melodies, bring back faded memories.
