Here Is My Heart For Christmas [*]
Louis Armstrong · Other Songs - Louis Armstrong
Take it with love and a kiss
I can't give you anymore than this
Here is my heart for Christmas
Sent with devotion to you
All wrapped up in mistletoe for two
(?) in the season for giving
And send you all my reason for living
Here is my heart, yes, for Christmas
And may I ask in return
Won't you fill my holiday with (?)
And let me love you each and every day, each year?
Here Is My Heart For Christmas
Louis Armstrong's 'Here Is My Heart For Christmas' stands as a tender addition to his extensive holiday catalogue. Known for his gravelly, emotive vocal delivery, Armstrong approached seasonal material with a unique blend of swing and sincere warmth. This recording captures his ability to transform standard fare into deeply personal statements, reflecting the intimate connection he forged with audiences throughout his career. While often overshadowed by his more famous novelty numbers, this track highlights the jazz legend's capacity for quiet reflection during the festive season. It remains a cherished piece for listeners who appreciate the subtlety of his later work and his enduring contribution to American popular music.
