Bing died in 1977. He was a true musician. It's sad that the people in charge of his legacy find it acceptable that his lyrics are all over the web, but they won't officially release them. These were on the web for all to see, and since it's one of my favorite songs (which has special meaning to me due to company arriving for the holidays), I feel like sharing. Today's musicians cannot touch the quaility of Christmas music we were blessed with from Bing, Julie, Nat, Burl, and many others of that time period.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten,
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
On ein the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
