Have you seen the mistletoe It fills the night with kisses Have you seen the bright blue star It fills your heart with wishes Have you seen the candlelight It shines from every window Have you seen the moon above It lights the sky in silver Green is in the mistletoe And red is in the holly Silver in the stars above That shine on everybody Gold is in the candlelight And crimson in the embers White is in the winter night That everyone remembers Have you heard the boys outside When all the girls are skating Have you heard their sweet hearts cry For all this time they're waiting Green is in the mistletoe And red is in the holly Silver in the stars above That shine on everybody Gold is in the candlelight And crimson in the embers White is in the winter night That everyone remembers Have you seen the children playing Tiny hands are frozen Have you seen them hurry home When suddenly its snowing Green is in the mistletoe And red is in the holly Silver in the stars above That shine on everybody Gold is in the candlelight And crimson in the embers White is in the winter night That everyone remembers Have you heard that bells are ringing Ringing out their story Have you heard the choir singing Glory, glory glory
