CHRISTMAS SERENADE

Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge


I walk along the city streets, as it's nearing Christmas day,
And the falling snow is music to my ears.
In the rumble of the subways, in the shoppers hustling by,
There's a melody in everything I hear.

It's like a Christmas serenade,
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh,
Coloured street lights watch the world at play,
A Christmas serenade.

From the Santas on the corner, to the skaters in the park,
Every sound's another symphony to me.
I can hear the Christmas carols, from the children in the square,
Singing songs in perfect harmony.

It's like a Christmas serenade,
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh,
Coloured street lights watch the world at play,
A Christmas serenade.

Deep in my heart I can hear a song,
Wish the feeling lasted all year long.

It's like a Christmas serenade,
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh,
Coloured street lights watch the world at play,
A Christmas serenade.

It's like a Christmas serenade,
Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh,
Coloured street lights watch the world at play,
A Christmas serenade.
