Lyrics

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?.......(do you see what I see)
way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?........(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?......(do you hear what I hear)
ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?......(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?.....(do you know what I know)
In your palace warm mighty king
Do you know what I know?......(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........(listen to what I say)
pray for peace, people everywhere
listen to what I say ( 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

Very nice cover of a Christmas classic. The orchestral elements are executed well and provide a majestic feel to the composition. The vocalist has a sincere and considerate style that's reminiscent of classic Disney Films/Songs (a good thing). Nicely done!

I liked the intro, very nice version of this song, You have a pretty voice.

Very gentle beautiful melody, touching song, wonderful arrangement! This song has the potential to be featured in a cartoon or on television. Very festive solemn mood with a drop of a fairy tale. From the first time it is remembered and stays in the head for a long time.

A landscape is unfolding with pleasant unique sounds with piano answering the soft guitar statement. Until...a beautiful female voice with excellent vibraro presents a well known song....... and showcased with wonderful instruments.The background voices support the melody tastefully. Truly an excellent arrangement intertwining with the voice! Good buildup of sounds gradually to a highest peak!! Appropriate material!

Very pretty rendition of Do you see what I see

Really nice build up from the beginning. Great choice of sounds and balance in the production. I was almost expecting a Chinese style tune in the intro bars. This tune makes me realise that in many instances I give high marks for arrangement when in fact, tunes like this truly deserve such praise - really great build up and presence.

Great instrumentation and the vocalist did a great job of using dynamics and shaping to bring the pieces to life even if it is a known classic. Makes me want to watch old clay mation movies. :) thank you for the good flashback memories.

I like the instrumental arrangements. Nice voice.
