LYRICS
Are you feeling very merry
Dear,
Please spread the cheer
At years end
People tend
To share the love above
Call it what you will
But right up until
Christmas Day
Hey!
People’s Day

Maybe snow?
I don’t know
Oh, I sure hope so
Maybe the chill
In the air will
Let your heart be still
Call it what you will
But right up until
Christmas Day
Hey!
People’s Day

LYRICS
Setting sail for a distant shore
One I’ve never been to before
Don’t know if I’ll make it for sure
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

Waiting for the four winds to blow
Which direction I don’t know
All I know is I’ve got to go
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

This isn’t the same sad ‘ole song
I can’t wait to be moving along
Set my sight for right left wrong
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

If days and nights should turn to years
Please alleviate your fears
Love can be dear no matter how near
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

(Lord, relieve me!)

LYRICS
Searching to see
L. O. V. E.
Harking to hear
“Nothing to fear”
By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

People everywhere
Get together to share
Where ever they live
Willing to give

Let’s seek the meek
Help peak the weak
Shower those lower
With our hour of power

Time for bed
Lay your head
I thank you…
Yes, I do

By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

When we witness the Lord sow snow
See a glimpse of beauty
Ohhhh…

Turn the dark to bright
Absorb the sound
Reflect the light
Peace is found
Clinging tight
So, Lord, sow snow!
Ohhh….

Looking back at my track
Into the virgin snow I go
So, Lord, sow snow

Save me!

LYRICS
If it’s redundant
To savor the flavor
Then, so…? Let it be done!
Please don’t let the taste
Go to waste
Making haste of leaving
Nothing to waste

Holiday pundit
“To savor the flavor”
Let’s go! Let it be done

Could you’ve meant
Flavor the savor?
I don’t know… can it be done?

A redundant chant:
“Savor the flavor!”

Drink from the angel well

The more you put into it
The more you can get
The more you get
The more you can give
The more you give
The better “the live”
What’s it take to initiate?
Given the livin’
Lovin’ the givin’
Givin’ the lovin’
Is a given

The more you can take
Before you break
The more you can break
From harsh intake
The more you deflect
What’s incorrect
The more intake
To facilitate
Given the livin’
Lovin’ the givin’
Givin’ the lovin’
Is a given

You fit the angel well

The cooks are in the kitchen
Smells like it won’t be too long
The scent gets me itchin’
For a savory holiday song

Takin’ a trip down memory lane
Do you want to remain
Or come along?

I feel that appetite
And, it’s coming on strong
Gonna try with all my might
Temptation don’t steer me wrong

(chorus)

What dish do you fancy
Something we have or you brought along
Maybe turkey with gravy
Dilute with moonshine… we all belong

From the heart
It’s coming through true
From the soul impart
The “thank you” you are do!

Christmas Candle Light

LYRICS
There’s a way
A cold day
Gets the season
Underway
Then, the glow
Sunshine in the window
Participant in the radiant
With warmth, come to know

The leaves left
Leaving in the light
Shadow’s theft
Looming is the night
Afterglow
Lighting candles in a row
Participant in the radiant
With warmth come to know

If time must transpire
Might as well, light a fire
Participants in the radiance
If time must transpire
By the light of the fire
By a candle light’s glow
With warmth come to know

LYRICS
The candle is burning
As our hearts are yearning
From both ends
Godspeed to learning
Combine with some smiling
The spirit mends
Three kings ace high
Take a sign from the sky
And stop on by
To find out why
The shepherds’ herd
Heard angels on high
Take the sign to answer why

Survival of the fittest
The human race’s race quest
Hard to digest
Self-preservation
Situation frustration
Really for the best…
Is it really for the best?

Three kings ace high
Take a sign from the sky
And stop on by
To find out why
The shepherds’ herd
Heard angels on high
Take the sign to answer why
