Subject: RE: Song Lyrics From: Greg549@rcn.com Date: 04 Jun 99 - 12:52 AM I'm trying to find anyone who might know a Christmas tune about a young boy and an old woman sharing a meager Xmas dinner . I belive its called "By Candlelight" the only part I remember goes : the most wonderful Christmas dinner was shared by candlelight , not much to go on but if anyone can help I'd be forever grateful Thanks |
Subject: LYR REQ: Christmas by Candlelight From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 04 Jun 99 - 05:13 AM Greg549 posted a request for this on another thread. I will steer him here. His request reads: I'm trying to find anyone who might know a Christmas tune about a young boy and an old woman sharing a meager Xmas dinner . I believe its called "By Candlelight" the only part I remember goes : "the most wonderful Christmas dinner was shared by candlelight" That's not much to go on but if anyone can help I'd be forever grateful Thanks.

Subject: RE: LYR REQ: Christmas by Candlelight From: Susan-Marie Date: 04 Jun 99 - 08:30 AM Roger - That's one of my favorite Christmas songs - I learned it from a Peter Paul and Mary record, it might be in the songbook I have at home if you need guitar chords. Here are the words - let me know if you plan to sing it in the Baltimore area and I'll come to hear it - I can't sing it myself without choking up.
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
Into his pocket reached the boy child
His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled
The grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening

Subject: RE: LYR REQ: Christmas by Candlelight From: MMario Date: 08 Jun 99 - 12:42 PM I am glad I took a look at this thread. It is not "period" but I would really like to use this this winter at my run at "Dicken's Christmas". I suspect I am going to have to practice this one a lot in order to get through without choking... MMario |
Subject: RE: LYR REQ: Christmas by Candlelight From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Jun 99 - 08:06 PM Apparently, the song is a Noel Paul Stookey original. Click here to get to the lyrics at the Peter, Paul and Mary home page. -Joe Offer- Darn it all, I just got kicked off the computer at the Denver Public Library. They say they don't allow e-mail or chat rooms. I said this is neither, but they don't buy it. 'Bye.... |
