From the recording Christmas/Holiday
original song, jazz waltz, female vocal
Lyrics
Oranges and cinnamon
Dance on my tongue
Eggnog with nutmeg
honey as gold as the sun
Holly and mistletoe
Hung by the fire
Yule log a-blazing
calling up my heart’s desire
CHORUS:
Oh this Christmas is for dreamers
With a hope in my heart
That a wish on a star
can come true
Oh, this dreamer’s dream is you
Tin stars and angels
Placed on the tree
Christmas lights shining
twinkling for you and for me
Snow at the window
flickering flame
can’t hold a candle
To a fire that’s burning your name
Your name
CHORUS:
Oh this Christmas is for dreamers
With a hope in my heart
That a wish on a star
Can come true
Oh, this dreamer’s dream is you
Oh this Christmas is for dreamers
With a hope in my heart
That a wish on a star
Oh this Christmas is for dreamers
Nothing more, nothing less
And I swear I confess that it’s true
Oh, this dreamer’s dream is you
It’s always been you
