Do You Hear What I Hear - Various Artists (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Do You Hear What I Hear -(Various Artists). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-12-24 "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Do You Hear What I Hear," written by Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne Baker in 1962, has become a Christmas time favorite and has been recorded by a multitude of artists. The Harry Simeone Chorale version was the first to hit the airways in 1962, but it was Bing Crosby's version that popularized the song worldwide (songfacts, 2022; Whitburn, 2013). Neither of the versions made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart; however, in 2007, Carrie Underwood recorded the song, and her version hit the chart but stalled at no. 90 (Whitburn, 2013). Regney wrote the lyrics as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 when the USSR was constructing bases for ballistic nuclear missiles in Cuba (M. J. Dangel, franciscanmedia, 2019). Baker has stated that neither she nor Regney "could personally perform the entire song at the time they wrote it because of the emotions surrounding the [Cuban missile] incident" (songfacts, 2022). **As an interesting side note, Bing "Crosby laid down his vocals on November 22, 1963, the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas" (songfacts, 2022).

Lyrics:
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 Shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky Shepard 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 Shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall 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
