Christmas Present
Year: 1974
Written By: Larry H. Brown, Keats Tyler
There are 2
different compositions named 'Christmas Present' by 2 of the
20th centuries biggest stars. The first arrived in 1964
on Doris Day's 'The Doris Day Christmas Album'. This Sydney Robin
penned track sure was a slow burner which perfected suited Day's
crystal vocals. Lush instrumentation abounds which gives the song a
cinematic feel, the shame of course that it never graced a magical
festive celluloid scene.
10 years later Andy
Williams released his million plus seller 'Christmas Present' and
the title track opened up the album. It was a low ebbed affair,
full of bright musical backdrops and Williams with a slightly less
than joyful performance. Some might even call it dissappointing
given the breath of fabulous Christmas songs he has produced.
Christmas Present Lyrics
Christmas present, Christmas tree
Children's eyes are wide to see
Santa's presents 'neath the tree
All day asked for on his knee
Christmas present, Christmas past
From the presents which one's last
Christmas future sure to be
Looking underneath the tree
For the present, look high, not low
Christmas was a gift itself many years ago
Christmas presents at the start
Was a gift from someone's heart
Christ is Christmas, that day is His
That's what Christmas presents is
