Favorite Christmas Songs: Christmas Time is Here (from A Charlie Brown Christmas)

From now until Christmas I’ll be posting lyrics to some of my favorite Christmas songs, along with links to each one (if available).

The first is from one of my favorite Christmas specials: A Charlie Brown Christmas, which you can watch at hulu.com (until January 1, 2010)!

Christmas Time Is Here (listen at Last.fm)
By Vince Guaraldi Trio

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year…

Stay tuned for a few more!
