Christmas, Like a Lullaby

Christmas, Like a Lullaby is the twenty-third studio album and second Christmas album by American singer-songwriter John Denver released in December 1990.

This was Denver's first solo Christmas album of music since 1975's Rocky Mountain Christmas. He also released the collaborative Christmas album A Christmas Together in 1979 with The Muppets.

The only original track was the title track "Christmas Like A Lullaby" written by Denver. The rest were Christmas carols and standards and two Tom Paxton songs, "The Children Of Bethlehem" and "Marvelous Toy".
