Stille Nacht

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

E' una delle più classiche canzoni americane dedicate al Natale. Scritta nel 1951, fu portata al successo da Pery Como e cantata dai maggiori interpreti degli anni '50, tra cui Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby e Dean Martin.

Ha avuto un rinnovato successo nel 1992  quando è stata riarrangiata e interpretata da Johnny Mathis per il film Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York (in Italia: Mamma ho perso l'aereo 2).

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

Questa è la classica versione di Perry Como
