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

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

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

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

Hail the king[00:00:26]

Whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was[00:00:28]

In London town I walked around Piccadilly Circus[00:00:39]

A mass of people moving here and there I wandered where[00:00:44]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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