LYRICS
How I long for the winter’s cold
Ice skates
Snowflakes
Stories told
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Do you long for the winter’s cold
Snow days
Holidays
Stories told
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Start to long for Christmases old
Days were merry… winter’s cold
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Bring on tidings of joy
Bringing on tidings of joy

Posted on by admin

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

LYRICS
Looked in the eye…
I looked in the eye…
I looked in the eye of the abyss
The story goes something like this:
I looked in the I of the abyss
Wondering “what’s this abyss?”
What is this
Abyss
Heaven on Earth is this
This is bliss
Forgiven for my sin
Over and over and over again

Oh, grandchild
Look what I’ve done
Tamed the wild

May your days be merry and bright
May all your Christmases be white!

Will any Christmases be white?

Oh, grandchild
What can be done
To recompile

May all your Christmases be white!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What lengths to go to to find you
When you’re already there
Right out in front in plain view
So far, yet oh so near
Pinch me to see if I can see

What lengths to go to to find you
To see if you see me
Right out in front in plain view
So far, yet not nearly
Pinch me to see if I can see

When lengths are more behind you
When you’ve already passed
Still out in front in plain view
Before I fade to past
Pinch me to see if I can see

LYRICS
Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Will I remember Merry Gentlemen
Too late for Tiny Tim…
… on the way to heaven
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Well past September
The leaves have fallen
Can’t forget again
To help the appalling
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Feeling the part
Of the Grinch That Stole Christmas
Alas,
With added Scrooge Attitude
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

A real life red nosed reindeer
with Santa Claus in tow
A story I hold dear to me
The story… do you know?
On now:
Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen

A story I hold dear to me
The story… do you know?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A smile, a nod
It’s not that odd
What a little love can do
A heart that’s true
Will comfort you
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

It’s not that odd
You can be like god
What a little love can do
You’ll heal the sick
Make the dead quick
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

LYRICS
Here’s a little holiday feast
For all those with the least (ceased)
If you’re already there
We’ve saved you a chair

Here’s a little holiday feast
We all slayed the beast (leashed)
If you’re already there
We’ve saved you a chair

Here’s a little holiday feast
At least the beast is peaced
Here’s a little holiday feast
At least the beast is pieced
Thanks to our savior
He’s yours to savor

Original “Three Kings of Orient” written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr.

Em                B7     Em
We three kings of Orient are 
Em               B7        Em
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Em        D         G
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, 
Am        Em B7  Em
Following yonder star. 
D D7 G               C       G
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
                C      G
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Em       D        C        D
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
G               C       G
Guide us to thy perfect Light. 

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, 
Gold I bring to crown Him again, 
King forever, ceasing never 
Over us all to reign.
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
Guide us to thy perfect Light. 

Frankincense to offer have I. 
Incense owns a Deity nigh. 
Prayer and praising all men raising, 
Worship Him, God on high.
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
Guide us to thy perfect Light. 

Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfume 
Breaths a life of gathering gloom. 
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, 
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
Guide us to thy perfect Light.

LYRICS
Can I find a word to rhyme
With Christmas time?
A kind of word to hold dear
Throughout the year
No matter how the snow may pile
The kind of word to make you smile
Bursting out in that Christmas cheer
Bringing those far in to hear / here

Can I find a word to rhyme
With Christmas time?
A kind of word to hold dear
Throughout the year
Sending a word in from above
Saying the word — the word is love
Sending peace in the form of a dove
Saying the word — the word is love

Can I find a word to rhyme
With Christmas time?
Sending a word in from above
Saying the word — the word is love
