《The Christmas Spirit》歌词

[00:00:00] The Christmas Spirit - Johnny Cash

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

[00:00:17] On Christmas eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth

[00:00:21] And in my dream I saw and heard the ways the different people

[00:00:26] Hail the king

[00:00:28] 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 moving here and there I wandered where

[00:00:48] On every face at every place was hurry up I'm late

[00:00:53] But a kind old man at a chestnut stand said merry Christmas mate

[00:01:00] And I felt the Christmas spirit

[00:01:11] In a little town nestled down in Bavaria Germany

[00:01:16] I walked along to see what the feeling there would be

[00:01:21] And here again was the busy din the rushing the yelling

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

[00:01:31] Not understanding the words but getting the buying and selling

[00:01:36] I felt the Christmas spirit

[00:02:06] In Bethlehem I heard a hymn some distant choir sang

[00:02:12] And with other tourists I walked along to a church as its bells rang

[00:02:18] Then I heard someone tell someone there's where Christ was born

[00:02:24] I wonder if he looked like our baby looked on that first morn

[00:02:29] And then I really felt the Christmas spirit

[00:02:40] From a businessman in the holy land as a sidewalk souvenir shop

[00:02:46] I bought a little bible since I'd hardly stopped

[00:02:52] And it was in Paris France somehow by chance that I took the bible out

[00:02:58] And as I flipped the pages I saw these words and

[00:03:01] I knew what it was all about

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

[00:03:09] Which shall be to all people

[00:03:12] For unto you he was born this day in the city of David a savior

[00:03:17] Which is Christ the lord

[00:03:33] Then I took the little holy book held it close and tight

[00:03:38] I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night

[00:03:43] So suddenly it came to me for when I awoke on Christmas day

[00:03:48] I felt the Christmas spirit down deep inside to stay

[00:04:01] O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie

[00:04:14] Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

[00:04:28] Yet in thy dark streets shined the everlasting light

[00:04:39] The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
