Andy Williams' It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year has always filled me with delight, ever since I first heard it as a child. I sing it here with that same energy and delight, hoping it fills you and moves you in the same way. Plus: the song is a waltz! — which always makes it that much more enjoyable in my book of music.

LYRICS

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
Yes the most wonderful time
Oh the most wonderful time
Of the year

ADDITIONAL NOTES

The biggest challenge in singing this song was its speed: the words come fast and furious, and it took me a while to figure out where and how to breathe so the song could be song comfortably, rather than leaving me short of breath!
