《The Christmas Spirit》歌词

[00:00:00] Praises sing to christ the king and peace to men on earth

[00:00:14] The christmas spirit - johnny cash

[00:00:17] On christmas eve i dreamed i traveled all around the earth

[00:00:22] And in my dream i saw and heard the ways the

[00:00:25] Different people hail the king

[00:00:29] Whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was

[00:00:39] In london town i walked around piccadilly circus

[00:00:44] A mass of people movin' here and there i wandered where

[00:00:49] On every face at every place was hurry up i'm late

[00:00:53] But a kind old man at a chestnut stand

[00:00:56] Said merry christmas mate

[00:01:01] And i felt the christmas spirit

[00:01:11] In a little town nestled down in bavaria germany

[00:01:17] I walked along to see what the feeling there would be

[00:01:21] And here again was the busy din the rushin' the yellin'

[00:01:27] But some kind boy said frohliche weihnachten

[00:01:32] Not undesratnding the words but getting' the buyin' and sellin'

[00:01:37] I felt the christmas spirit

[00:02:07] In bethlehem i heard a hymn some distant choir sang

[00:02:13] And with other tourists i walked along to a church

[00:02:16] As its bells rang

[00:02:19] Then i heard someone tell someone there's where christ was born

[00:02:25] I wonder if he looked like our baby looked on that first morn

[00:02:30] And then i really felt the christmas spirit

[00:02:41] From a businessman in the holy land as a sidewalk souvenirshop

[00:02:47] I bought a little bible since i'd hardly stopped

[00:02:53] And it was in paris france somehow by chance that i took the bible out

[00:02:59] And as i flipped the pages i saw these words

[00:03:02] And i knew what it was all about

[00:03:04] For i read fear not for behold i bring you good tidings of great joy

[00:03:10] Which shall be to all people

[00:03:13] For unto you he was born this day

[00:03:15] In the city of david a saviour

[00:03:18] Which is christ the lord

[00:03:34] Then i took the little holy book held it close and tight

[00:03:40] I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night

[00:03:44] So suddenly it came to me for when i awoke on christmas day

[00:03:49] I felt the christmas spirit down deep inside to stay

[00:04:03] O little town of bethlehem how still we see thee lie

[00:04:16] Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

[00:04:30] Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light

[00:04:41] The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
