From the recording Christmas/Holiday
Lyrics
When we first thought about it, seemed like it was months away
Now the pile of presents round the tree get bigger everyday
There’s a kind of magic happens this time every year
No matter where we are it brings us here
It’s not about the sparkle, it’s not about the lights
It’s the ones you’ve loved from miles away
Now you get to hold them tight
People laughing, people smiling, or holding back a tear
‘Cause it isn’t really Christmas …Till everybody’s here
Every time the bell rings out, we all rush to the door
There’s kids and dogs and chaos but there’s always room for more
Grandpa’s playing Santa and there’s paper everywhere
It’s really loud but no one seems to care
It’s not about the sparkle, it’s not about the lights
It’s the ones you’ve loved from miles away
Now you get to hold them tight
People laughing, people smiling, or holding back a tear
‘Cause it isn’t really Christmas …Till everybody’s here
It’s what brings us all together, it comes right from the heart
It takes away the sadness
Of the time we’ve spent apart
People laughing, people smiling, or holding back a tear
‘Cause it really feels like Christmas …Now everybody’s here
