A Gala Christmas in Vienna -- some lyrics

On this page you can find lyrics of some of the songs on the CD A Gala Christmas in Vienna, where Sarah Brightman sang Chrismas songs together with Plácido Domingo, Helmut Lotti and Riccardo Cocciante. If the song also appears on one of Sarah's own album, a link to the lyrics elsewhere on my Web site is made.

11. Fröhliche Weihnacht

Fröhliche Weihnacht! Überall
Tönet durch die Lüfte froher Schall
Weihnachtston, Weihnachtsbaum
Weihnachtsduft in jedem Raum!

Fröhliche Weihnacht! Überall
Tönet durch die Lüfte froher Schall.

15. Angels from the realms of glory

Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight over all the earth
Ye, who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

17. Santa Claus is coming to town

Oh!
You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list, he's checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake,
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for the goodness sake!
So ...
You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!

18. Happy Christmas

And so this is Christmas
And what you have done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dearest ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and for poor ones
The war is so wrong
And so this is Christmas
For black and for white
for yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
A war is over!
If you want!
War is over!
Now!

19. Silent Night

Sarah's part in this song:: Silent night, holy night,
all is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace.
