about
Song 16. I wrote this about 20 years ago. It was recorded for my kids and as a gift to give my family and friends. My children were young and I thought it would be fun to include them in the song, so for the last two choruses I had Nathan and Maddie round up some of their friends and bring them to the studio. We rehearsed the song a couple of times and then recorded their parts. They did a killer job and their performances make the song come alive. The drawing "Santa at the Beach," is by my son, Nathan, when he was about 8 years old, based on an original print by my brother, Brad. This was a blast to record!
lyrics
It's 12:24, the snow's coming down,
It's Christmas time.
Santa and Rudolph are coming to town,
It's Christmas time.
Children safe in their beds now,
Dreaming sweet dreams of miracles and sleigh bells.
CHORUS:
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas everywhere.
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas time of year.
The mantle holds the stockings, the front door holds the wreath,
It's Christmas time.
Presents spill like rainbows from under the tree,
It's Christmas time.
Christmases and laughter,
They're our footsteps to happy every after.
CHORUS:
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas everywhere.
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas time of year.
Christmases and laughter,
They're our footsteps to happy ever after.
CHORUS:
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas everywhere.
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas time of year.
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, when dreams come true.
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas time to you,
Merry Christmas time to you,
Merry Christmas time...
