LYRICS
I didn’t know
That there’d be mistletoe
Now you mention it
I’d love to go
If we’re lucky
It might start to snow
Spectacle
Of Mother Nature’s show
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight

I didn’t know
That there’d be presents, too
Now you mention it
Love to see you
They say the temperature
Might drop real low
Spectacle
Of an icicle show
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight

I didn’t know
That she’d be there
Now you mention it
I’ve love to share
If we’re lucky
It might start to snow
After all
I’ve nowhere else to go
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?

LYRICS
I’d travel through the snow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Uncharted boat I’d stow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Paddle against the flow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

I’d search both high and low
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

[Under the tree…
… waiting for me]

LYRICS
On what may be the darkest night
I can still see the light
A little angel
Looks over my shoulder
My little angel
Guiding me older

’cause if I die way too young
How my heart’d come undone
On what may be the darkest night
I can still see the light
A little angel
Looks over my shoulder
My little angel
Guiding me older

Saw me through both thick and thin
So I may do it again
’cause if I die way too young
How my heart’d come undone
On what may be the darkest night
I can still see the light
A little angel
Looks over my shoulder
My little angel
Guiding me older

LYRICS
The same three words
Will come to mind
I love you

The bees the birds
And all mankind
I love you

It’s in all of us
It’s all in us
When we get festivous

When a holiday comes our way
Believe I feel it
In the spirit
It’s easy to fall
In love with you all

LYRICS
A spark is catching
Its’ starting to glow
The light it’s fetching
Starting to grow
As the flames start the dance
Look the same at first glance
But once I stop and stare
Then I become aware
Of the intimacy in the intricacy
Of creating me and letting free

The first to rib me
And have me take a knee
Putting together
Then, watching whether….
As the people start to dance
Look the same at first glance
But once I stop and stare
Then I become aware
Of the intimacy in the intricacy
Of creating me and letting free

Heaven’s calling…

Feel all alone
On your own?
The bad guys are knocking

There’s no use in sulking
Heaven’s calling
No need stalling
If you feel like talking

LYRICS
My gift to you
Think before I do
Gift in return
Please do the same, too
Doing unto others
As they would do to you
All sisters and brothers
From the broad point-of-view
What would God do
If she were you?

Save the planet
Consider the habitat
God won’t damn it
Why would you do that?
My gift to you
Think before I do
Gift in return
Please do the same, too
Dedicate the festivals
To all the animals
Don’t save the holidays
To show your kind ways
What would God do
If she were you?

How I long for the winter’s cold
Ice skates
Snowflakes
Stories told

Seasons tide

Do you long for the winter’s cold

Seasons tide

Bring on tidings of joy
Bringing on tidings of joy

LYRICS
Calling all girls and boys
Gather ’round here
Have you been cheers and joys
All through the year?
Do you know when you are sleeping
Do you know when you’re awake
Do you know when Santa’s peeping
Do you know what’s at stake?

Calling all girls and boys
Gather ’round here
Sack overstuffed with toys
I’ve gotta clear
Do you know when you are sleeping
Do you know when you’re awake
Do you know when Santa’s peeping
Do you know what’s at stake?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The collision of our galaxies
Is something that I did not foresee
Didn’t have the luxury
To be omniscient
To be…
The big bang event
To be omniscient
To be…
Omnipresent
To be omniscient
To be…
The essence

The fusion of our closest star
Then plant your life, would seem bizarre
I couldn’t have thought so far
To be omniscient
To be…
The big bang event
To be omniscient
To be…
Omnipresent
To be omniscient
To be…
The essence

Spinning in the light
Turning day to night
What brilliant insight
To be omniscient
To be…
The big bang event
To be omniscient
To be…
Omnipresent
To be omniscient
To be…
The essence
