Sobre el álbum

El disco Christmas Memories de 2001 es la segunda incursión de Barbra Streisand en el repertorio navideño, y una obra de una belleza y una melancolía exquisitas. A diferencia de su primer álbum festivo, en este trabajo la artista opta por un tono más introspectivo y reflexivo. El disco se centra en baladas y canciones que evocan la nostalgia y el recuerdo, creando una atmósfera de serena contemplación, perfecta para la temporada de invierno.

La producción y los arreglos orquestales son de una elegancia superlativa, aportando un toque cinematográfico y solemne a las composiciones. El álbum se aleja de los villancicos más alegres para ofrecer una experiencia auditiva más profunda y emocional. "Christmas Memories" es un complemento perfecto a su primer disco navideño, una obra de una clase y una sensibilidad que la confirman como una de las grandes intérpretes de este género.

  1. I'll Be Home for Christmas4:12
  2. A Christmas Love Song3:56

    Letra

    All I want for Christmas is you Your the gift that's made my dreams all come true All I need for Christmas is here Finding every sweet surprise wrapped up in your eyes Waiting there for me underneath the tree We'll the spend the day exchanging kisses Smile and say What a Christmas this is Long before the snowflakes appear Without bells or mistletoe or the tinsel silver glow You just look at me and Oh! Christmas is here! We will smile and say What a Christmas This is Long before the snowflakes appear Without bells or mistletoe Or the tinsel silver glow You just have to look at me and Oh! Christmas is here
  3. What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?3:53
  4. I Remember4:57

    Letra

    I awake on a chilly Christmas morning Watching choirs singing carols on TV I gaze out through my window at a dozen other windows Then I plug in my artificial tree And like a dream I begin to remember every Christmas I used to know A thousand miles away, a million years ago I remember sky. It was blue as ink Or at least I think I remember sky I remember snow, soft as feathers, sharp as thumbtacks Coming down like lint And it made you squint when the wind would blow And ice like vinyl on the streets Cold as silver, white as sheets Rain like strings and changing things Like leaves I remember leaves Green as spearmint Crisp as paper I remember trees Bare as coat racks, spread like broken umbrellas And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos Ruddy faces, muddy shoes Light and noise and bees and boys And daaaaays, oh! I remember days or at least I try But as years go by, they're a sort of haze And the bluest ink isn't really sky. And at times I think I would gladly die For a day of sky!
  5. Snowbound2:59
  6. It Must Have Been the Mistletoe3:09

    Letra

    It must have been the mistletoe The lazy fire, the falling snow The magic in the frosty air That feeling everywhere It must have been the pretty lights That glistened in the silent night It may be just the stars so bright That shined above you Our first Christmas More than we'd be dreaming of Oh, Saint Nicholas had his fingers crossed That we would fall in love It could have been the holiday The midnight ride upon a sleigh The countryside all dressed in white That crazy snowball fight It could have been the steeple bell That wrapped us up within its spell It only took one kiss to know It must have been the mistletoe Our first Christmas More than we'd be dreaming of Oh, Saint Nicholas must have known that kiss Would lead to all of this It must have been the mistletoe The lazy fire, the falling snow The magic in the frosty air That made me love you On Christmas Eve our wish came true That now I've fell in love with you It only took one kiss to know It must have been the mistletoe It must have been the mistletoe It must have been the mistletoe One kiss to know, I love you so
  7. Christmas Lullaby3:29

    Letra

    This is a Christmas Lullaby To steal softly into dreaming A simple Christmas lullaby I sing to you each passing year The world is wrapped in joy and wonder in silent mystery And in this spell that we are under Blessing surround our hearts completely This is a Christmas Lullaby For someone lovely as snow falling I sing your Christmas Lullaby To cradle you with all our love Let peace on earth be yours tonight Under the star that shines so bright The world is wrapped in joy and wonder In Silent mystery And in this spell that we are under Blessing surround our hearts completely Now close your eyes and as you sigh Make up a Christmas wish to dream on And like the moon that shines on high Send out your wish to that star in the sky Blessed by this Christmas lullaby.........!

  9. Grown-Up Christmas List3:29

    Letra

    Do you remember me I sat upon your knee I wrote to you with childhood fantasies Well I'm all grown up now Can you still help somehow I'm not a child but my heart still can dream So here's my lifelong wish My grown-up X-mas list Not for myself but for a world in need No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Every man would have a friend That right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list What is this illusion called The innocence of youth Maybe only in that blind belief Can we ever find the truth There'd be no more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts And every man would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grow-up X-mas list This is my only life-long wish This is my grown-up X-mas list....

  11. Closer3:58

    Letra

    As close as the sea is to the seashore Tide still rises twice a day That's just the ocean's way of getting Closer, closer. As close as today is to tomorrow At midnight they can finally touch 'Cause every minute brings them that much closer Closer So on this silent night I call your name And suddenly all time and space disappears I see your face in firelight I hold you close in memory And even though you're gone I know you're here As close as the glow is to the ember You've always been a part of me Now living in my heart you're even closer Closer. I see your face in firelight I hold you close in memory And even though I know you're gone I know you're here.... As sure as there's snowfall in December Your love lives in everything Summer Winter Fall or Spring Every thought of you will bring us closer The distance may be large or small Someday I pray that we may all be Closer... Closer.
  12. One God3:39
