Leon Russell - Slipping Into Christmas

My favorite Christmas song!

Well I'm slipping into Christmas

I'm sliding into New Year

And I'm missing all your kisses

Baby, since you're not here

The special thing you give me

I won't find underneath my tree

And I'm feeling sad and lonesome

Wishin' you were here with me!

And I'm felling a kind of useless

By the second hand Christmas tree

And I'm slinking into sorrow

These blues have go a hold on me

Well I know 'tis the season to be jolly

But Scrooge ain't got a thing on me

And so I'm slipping into Christmas

Wishing you were here with me!



Well I'm slipping into Christmas

Sliding into New Year

And I'm missing all your kisses

Darlin' since you're not here

Whoa, deck the halls with teardrops

Scrooge ain't got a thing on me

So I'm slipping into Christmas,

Wishing you were here with me!



Whoa, sittin' right here on my knee



Well, it's gonna be a blue Christmas!!!!

I have been looking for this sound. What album is it on. Where can I get it.

[iubballfan]

idk the answer to that :( a friend dl the song from internet for me a long time ago but i have searched online and all record stores and can't find it, i guess it's really obscure, which is why i decided to post it here.

Flip side to Slipping into Christmas was Christmas in Chicago. Promotional cds were issued around the time that Leon's only Virgin Records album was released, Anything Can Happen. Slippin' on CD turns up on ebay sometimes.

It was on a 1972 45 rpm only

Can buy it on E-Bay around Christmas. I too was searching for this one and Christmas in Chicago by Leon and a good friend copied one for me. It is one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time. Only place I hear is these days is on Sirius radio and here. Nothing like a little Leon Christmas music!

Well, Thanks for the post. I have looked also. I noticed on his site that he had a Christmas Record but didn't see that one listed on it. I always love to hear it and just chance hear on a radio station this time of year. Merry Christmas.
