Sure’ve been missing…
Sure’ve been missing…
Sure’ve been missing this time of year
We’ll be reminiscing

So, the memory will remain

LYRICS
Maybe a fire will help inspire
As song for a sing-a-long
We can sit close and rub our noses
Under the mistletoe practicing poses
A Christmas picture
For our future
… to endure

Sit by the fire
Take spirits higher
Sing a long
To our song
Wrapping gifts
Gives a lift
Thought of snow and memory drift
A Christmas picture
Of our future
… to endure

LYRICS
Bring on the Christmas Spirit
And make it quick
Bring on the Christmas Spirit
And never quit
Make it last all day
Then get it to stay
Make it last all night
Straight through to dawn’s twilight

Pile on the Christmas Spirit
And make it thick
Pile on the Christmas Spirit
And quite a bit
Make it last all day
Then get it to stay
Make it last all night
Straight through to dawn’s twilight

Ring in the Christmas Spirit
And let’s hear it
Ring in the Christmas Spirit
And let’s hear it
Make it last all day
Then get it to stay
Make it last all night
Straight through to dawn’s twilight

What do you wish for
If you could wish some more
What do you wish for this year?
Alleviate the fear
Bring back the cheer
Find our way clear
Bring your love near

What do you wish for this year?
Those we hold dear
See another year
Laugh and a tear

If you could wish some more
What do you wish for this year?

LYRICS
God’s unrest ye merry gentlemen
Why again and again and again?
Consider the worth of peace on Earth
Give our love a birth
As in your child
Born into the wild

Why again and again and again?
Are our children sufferin’
Due our fear of fear
Instead, endear
Give our love a birth
As in your inner child
Born wild

They’d say, “We’re calling for snow.”
Our anticipation would grow

As the clouds shadow below
Oh, it seems such a long time ago

LYRICS
On such a cold winter’s eve
From greed can you take leave
In the age of hysteria
Push and shove given to love
First is last in America
America, USA
Love gave way

On such a dark winter’s night
Being the beacon’s light
In the age of hysteria
From above shines on love
Last is first in America
America, USA
Loves the way

LYRICS
Has my heart lost it’s allure
The way things are going… I’m not sure
Is the loving coming
Behind closed doors
Is the loving coming
More of a chore

In the thick of pandemic
Quick!
In the thick of pandemic
Quick!
The Christmas Cure
Rid the sick of their panic
Quick!
Rid the sick of their panic
Quick!
The Christmas Cure

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is entitled Christmas Cure because I almost died of COVID. After surviving the virus, I developed COVID-long Haulers Syndrome. When I started writing the album, I hoped the Christmas Spirit would bring a cure. Sure enough, through an Act Of God, I was shown the cure — COVID-19 Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP) and the Coronavirus Cure.

LYRICS
So far off in the distant sky
The brightest star cries… wonder why?
Birth on Earth will die
The birth will die
We’ll arise

The Wisemen could not say
Why things end up this way
Nor could the angels sway
A reprieve? No, no delay
No delay

So far off in the distant sky
The brightest star cries… wonder why?
The birth will die
Birth on Earth will die
We’ll arise

The shepherds could not foresee
The End would come to be
There’ll be a jubilee
The day we’re all set free
A reprieve come to be
