Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said
the night wind
to the little lamb,
do you see what I see
Way up in the sky,
little lamb,

do you see what I see

A star,
a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big
as a kite

Said
the little lamb
to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear

Ringing
through the sky,
shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear

A song, a song,
high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big
as the sea

Said
the shepherd boy
to the mighty king,
do you know what I know
In your palace warm,
mighty king,

do you know what I know

A Child,
a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver
and gold

Said
the king
to the people everywhere,
listen to what I say

Pray for peace,
people everywhere!
listen to what I say

The Child,
the Child, sleeping
in the night

He will
bring us goodness
and light

He will
bring us goodness
and light

lyrics by Noël Regney and
music by Gloria Shayne.

*”Do You Hear What I Hear?” is
a song written in October 1962,
with lyrics by Noël Regney and
music by Gloria Shayne.

The pair, married at the time,
wrote it as a plea for peace
during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Regney had been invited by
a record producer to write
a Christmas song,

but he was hesitant
due to the commercialism
of the Christmas holiday.

It has sold tens of millions
of copies and has been covered
by hundreds of artists.
