Lyrics:
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The road is so long (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
Happy Christmas!

This is my favorite Christmas song! Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and Healthy New Year!! ❤

[@jeffschielka7845]

Mine too! Love John Lennon's version. Hope it's a good one for all.👍☮️

[@mr.b3837]

That was beautiful. Got me in the Christmas spirit! Christmas blessings to you and your family!!

[@wishuponastar4928]

My favorite Christmas song too! You did a wonderful cover of this classic song. Happy Christmas!

[@mjcleveland4787]

Mine as well & beautifully done. Also belated Happy Birthday & early Merry Christmas Emily!

[@clint6872]

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones Emily.

[@KarolinaProtsenkoFansChannel]

It's perfect, very beautiful voice, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family ❤

[@nandesjl]

Today is the day John Lennon passed away, 43 years ago. Emily Linge surprises her fans and John's fans with this wonderful version of this wonderful song. Emily always surprises us, she is a very talented artist.

[@nandesjl]

Sou fã de John Lennon desde minha infância. Dia 8 de dezembro de 2023. Emily Linge canta Happy Xmas (War is Over) neste momento oportuno (afinal, a guerra não acabou). É uma chuva fresca em nossa consciência. A mensagem da música é revivida. Nós, a humanidade, podemos voltar a imaginar que o mundo pode melhorar, assim como Emily fez com a linda canção de John. Está bem, está bem. Não é possível melhorar uma obra-prima. Mas Emily acrescentou frescor à canção de Natal de John Lennon tornando-a mais doce, doce como sua voz.

[@brianburman6580]

43 years ago today the world of music as we knew it was changed forever. R.I. P. John Lennon. Thank you Emily for doing this wonderful song!!

[@nicholasstaddon]

Emily, never has this iconic Christmas song been more appropriate, and you sang it absolutely beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

[@maurojosedealmeida6429]

Amo vc

[@richardfehlmann4593]

Wonderful Christmas song choice 👌😍 Wonderful rendition 😊❤️🎄👏👏👏

[@chorlauheung4920]

A well-known Christmas tune by Lennon. Sadly, war is not over.

[@computerbob5407]

War is over....if you want it!

[@anje2150]

Thank you Emily. I am a child of the 60's. You brought tears to my eyes and my heart breaks for the cruelty and suffering in this world. Bless you ❤

[@jferguson8127]

If I may intrude, I too (born late in 1960) found this utterly beautiful. I salute & second your sending here kind appreciation and cheers

[@waynetaylor4995]

This is wonderful,so nice .A nice tribute to John Lennon on the anniversary of his passing.

[@elvandylis867]

Wonderful memorial cover of John Lennon's classic Emily , so beautifully sung!! Merry Christmas!!✨🎄🎼💖🕊️

[@wimmagerman9602]

Wonderful ❤ Best wishes ❤

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you! You too!

[@user-mk3vk7kb6b]

What an unexpected treat, Emily. Perfect song for you to cover…In the thick of Christmas season, war on the front pages of newspapers, and the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. Thanks for showing him this respect!

[@AntonioMendeSilva]

The most beautiful Christmas' song 🎄 I ever heard was sang by Emily Linge, a young lady, just 16th, but already a great Singer, composer and song writer. What a voice, my Lord 🙏 ❤️!!!

[@clint6872]

Heavenly Emily, I so wish your message goes out to all corners of our world. Honestly the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard. 👏👏👏❤❤❤🌹🍀🍀🍀

[@leszekkoodziejczyk4864]

Dear Emily, thank you for all the songs you sang for us this year, you are wonderful.💚 I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year❤❤❤

[@mrBlagstock]

At last. A young female singer who sings with her own voice and not copying that awful breathless drawl that has dominated for years. Excellent stuff.

[@nandesjl]

I completely agree with you.

[@rickymolina7390]

Thank you for your beautiful harmonies and message of peace and hope. Merry Christmas to all.✌✌✌

[@rohinigokhale2943]

Simply beautiful 😍 ❤ Very awesome music 🎶 🎵 🎊🎊💖💖🌲🌲🌷🌷🌷🌷 Emily you are immortal 💖💖

[@LuisGonzalez-ye6ty]

What a beautiful Christmas carol and what a wonder, what a wonder it was sung with your pleasant and wonderful voice, I loved the beautiful singing it even transmitted to me. 💖💖👍👍👍👍 Merry christmas 🎄🎄👍👍

[@DanielFrost21]

It's technically a Christmas song. A Christmas carol specifically references the birth of Jesus, such as "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" or "The First Noel"

[@alecspeer]

Essential John Lennon. The heart of the man. Great choice of song. Released in 1971, a full 37 years before she was born, now performed by Emily at age 16. The youth of today have inherited a planet on fire with wars a-raging everywhere. And human suffering beyond belief. Emily, my 70+ boomer generation prays that yours will not just survive this, but will find ways to vanquish that which sows division. The flip side of hate is love and the flip side of fear is a helping hand.

Hey Emily! Great job here. I love John Lennon's version. Wishing everyone good health and peace in the new year. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to all!!!🌲☃️🎁☮️

[@theodorelacroix5669]

I think that if Emily keeps singing it will be a good one for all of the colors we see at this time of year and for all people!

[@captainmike5303]

Emily, there is an amount of sadness in having another year gone and as life goes on you remember all the good times you had with family and friends. Those days are gone and people are pushed apart by life in general. Christmas was always a time to reconnect with your loved ones and friends especially when you are young, so do that as much as possible. Your music brings joy to many people and it is a blessing to have such great talent and beauty. I wish you and your family a great and blessed Christmas and a happy and joyful New Year!

[@peterallison9402]

WOW such a beautiful cover Emily, what a sweer beautiful voice, great harmony, love it🎶🎹❄️☃️❤️🎸

[@EmilyLinge]

Glad you liked it!!

[@ocelot7047]

Wonderful!, Emily. It's so nice to hear your voice!

[@saito_studio753]

良い歌をありがとう、世界に幸せが届きますように。

[@koinaochiro]

I love this performance, the overlapping voices, the slow feel, John Lennon's Christmas song. Thank you for the gift of song.

[@lifelongconservative3338]

I especially liked your backing track vocals. I can't remember you ever doing it that way and I really really liked it. You somehow always release a song that I needed to hear. I appreciate the hard work you put into these songs. You are crazy good Emily and I wish you all the joys that Christmas brings to us. Merry Christmas Emily and a Happy 2024.

[@johndej]

Wonderful cover Emily! I wish you and your family the happiest of the holiday season,

Beautiful rendition of this wonderful iconic Christmas song. Your voice is so pure and clear, which enhances the meaning in the words of the song. Truly lovely performance Emily Well Done

[@johnzannini1372]

Wow!! Hearing you harmonize with yourself is delightful - twice the blessing! Your voice range is remarkable like so gifts 🎁 under the 🎄. Thank you for breathing life into your favorite Christmas song. I wish you peace and many blessings. ❤

[@tonyrobertson6886]

A classic Christmas 🎄 song 🎵 beautifully performed 👏👏

[@theStranger666]

This performance is going to make a lot of listeners tearful for several reasons. The song's special message during the festive season, what happened to John Lennon on the 8th of December, 1980, and, especially the beautiful way you sang it. Thank you. Merry Christmas. xxx

[@EmilyLinge]

Heartbreaking! May he RIP forever and his music live on!

[@timbutts809]

Your talent never ceases to amaze me😊🎉🎉🎉

[@martinraiser9205]

Good. This is definitely a very high quality cover of this song and I can only tip my hat in deep respect because this video is simply perfect. Greatly chosen decorations in the background, great and clear sound. Furthermore, the great idea with live music in the form of a guitar and the very well-chosen look of the author of this video together with her beautiful voice must be appreciated. Thank you for such a great performance.
