Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas — Johnny Mathis

Individual performer: Johnny Mathis

Artist background

Johnny Mathis built his career on romantic ballads and a voice that makes even a familiar melody feel intimate. Christmas became an important part of his repertoire, with “When a Child Is Born” reaching the UK Christmas number one spot in 1976. It’s a gentle, hopeful performance for a quieter moment in a busy season.

Show Lyrics — Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere 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 every store
But the prettiest sight to see, is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of hop-along 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
Everywhere 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

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
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas
