When I was in Grade 9, so many years ago, I was in the Glee Club. That year, one of the local radio stations was recording school choirs singing Christmas carols. Our club had learned I song that I thought was called You, You, Tender and Wistful. Our director said that if anyone wanted to write some words to make it a Christmas song we could sign that for the radio. I tried to find the song on the internet but couldn't find it, I'm thinking now that it might be a classical piece that later had words put to the music.
Anyway, one of my fellow students wrote the following words:
Snowy fields in the winter
White sheep looking for food
Star and angel appearing to the poor shepherd so good
Star and angel to the poor shepherd so good.
Haste to Bethlehem stable
There in manger for bed
You will find the Christ Child
That's what the angel had said
Find the Christ Child that's what the angel had said
Bowing before such glory
on that beautiful morn
there the shepherds beheld him
thus was the Christ Child born
They beheld him, thus was the Christ Child born.
After all these years I still remember the words to the carol but not the words to the song I originally learned.
Since I couldn't find the original song or music, you'll just have to listen to me sing. My apologies. If you know the melody please let me know what it is.
I've never heard this song before and don't know the melody. I hope someone can help you. You have a nice voice, Helen.
