about
Soloist: Troy Topnik
Corlynn Hanney is a third generation Vancouverite. After graduating in Music from UBC, she sang commercials for Pontiac, Datsun (remember Datsuns?), Kodak, Kraft and Air Canada. She toured Europe and North America with Leonard Cohen and was on the sound track for Midnight
Cowboy. She taught music for more than a decade at Capilano University. Her song “Heaven In Your Arms” reached number six on the Canadian Charts. Her very gentle “Christmas Angel” beautifully blends elements of traditional and popular music.

lyrics
Oh how I wish I could sing like an angel,
I’d sing carols so high and sweet.
Oh if I had the voice of an angel,
I’d be singin’ that sweet child asleep.
Oh how I wish I had the wings of an angel,
Shining with glory bright.
Oh if I had the wings of an angel,
I’d be rockin’ that sweet child at night.
Christmas angel, so long ago,
You saw the Christ child in the star’s glow.
You sang to Jesus on his bed of hay,
On that first Christmas day.
I’d sing carols so high and sweet.
Oh if I had the voice of an angel,
I’d be singin’ that sweet child asleep.
Oh how I wish I had the wings of an angel,
Shining with glory bright.
Oh if I had the wings of an angel,
I’d be rockin’ that sweet child at night.
Christmas angel, so long ago,
You saw the Christ child in the star’s glow.
You sang to Jesus on his bed of hay,
On that first Christmas day.
