Twelve Chicks of Christmas

Nancy Wilson

The Christmas Waltz
-Sammy Kahn

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santas on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

Its that time of year
When the world fall in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas, May your New Year Dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too

Its that time of year
When the world fall in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas, May your New Year Dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too

while in columbus, wilson came to know and perform with famed jazz musician, cannonball adderley, who introduced her to her future manager, john levy. wilson signed her first solo recording contract with capitol records, shortly thereafter, joining a roster that already included the likes of nat "king" cole, frank sinatra and peggy lee. wilson's first two singles with capitol—"like in love" and the adderley collaboration "save your love for me"—scored big with the public and set wilson on her way to establishing a devoted and enduring fan base. the following years would see wilson surpass labelmates such as the beach boys to become capitol's second highest selling artist (the beatles held the number one spot) and their highest selling female artist. in 1964, wilson won a grammy for "how glad am i".
