This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Rocky Mountain Christmas album, and has also been released on the Christmas. Like A Lullaby album. All through the year We've waited Waited through spring and fall To hear silver bells ringing See winter time bringing The happies season of all Chestnuts roasting on a open fire Jackfrost nippin' at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistleoe Will help o make he season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said, many times Many ways Merry Christmas, to you They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said, many times Many ways Merry Christmas, to you Words and music by Mel Torme and Robert Wells
