Name: MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR
Duration: P00H03M29S
Description: This is my only Christmas/Holiday song. No overcoming inspiration, other than I wanted to try my hand at writing a worthy Christmas song. Not sure I succeeded or not! This got sent out to a few different publishers and was turned down. They said it could be a good song, but didn't sound Christmas enough. I'm still working on it, just not lately. Tell me what you think please! :-)

lyrics

TITLE: MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR

OCTOBER NOVEMBER THEY’VE BOTH PASSED AWAY
OH BOY DECEMBERS FINALLY HERE
THERE’S SONG IN THE AIR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS EVERYWHERE
AND KIDS FACES FILLED WITH JOY AND CHEER
JACK FROST AND HIS HELPERS HAVE PAINTED THE WINDOWS
AND SNOWFLAKES HAVE COVERED THE GROUND
WITH THEIR MYSTICAL STAR DUST
AND SURE AS THE WIND BLOWS
CHRISTMAS DAY WILL SOON BE AROUND

(CHORUS)

MERRY CHRISTMAS – MERRY CHRISTMAS – MERRY CHRISTMAS
LET’S MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY THIS YEAR
BY SPREADING THE LOVE SENT FROM GOD UP ABOVE
WE WISH YOU ALL MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR

(END CHORUS)

LET’S TURN ON THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS
PLUG IN THE CHRISTMAS TREE
GIVE ALL THE CHILDREN A HUG
CALL GRAMMA AND GRAMPA YOUR COUSINS YOUR FRIENDS
TELL THE MAN ON THE STREET THAT HE’S LOVED

NOW OPEN THE PRESENTS AND COUNT UP YOUR BLESSINGS
AS WE THANK THE LORD UP ABOVE
FOR THIS WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND THOSE SHARING IN IT
A NATION AT PEACE FILLED WITH LOVE

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
