It’s a song that was released as a single in 1970.

The lyrics were written in 1946 by Frank Pooler when he was 20, and he said they were about someone he had feelings for at the time.

The song itself is a Christmas ballad with a gentle melody line, making it something you can sing in a calm manner rather than with intensity.

Since it gradually builds toward the chorus, the structure makes you naturally think, “This is the chorus.” It’s better sung with a composed, steady tone rather than by belting.

You could accent the beginning of the melody, but don’t overdo it—using a deeper, softer voice will suit the mood.

Try singing with the sensation of resonating inside your mouth!
