Lyrics

NOT ABOUT A CHRISTMAS SONG
© 2007 Lyrics & Music by Bob Bentley

Verse 1. It's not the cold or the twinkling lights
Or the snow outside, or the stars so bright
It's not what you eat or how loud you sing
That's nothing to do with anything

Chorus 1. It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about the presents under your tree
It's all about love the whole year long
It's not about a Christmas song
It's not about a Christmas song

Verse 2. It's all about the way we choose
To show respect for other views
The gift of love is what we need
For the Christmas Story to succeed

Verse 3. It's what you do for all mankind
For rich or poor, the strength you find
For people who are on their knees
Christmas is about all these

Chorus 2. It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about the gifts that we get for free
It's all about love the whole year long
It's not about a Christmas song
It's not about a Christmas song

Chorus 3. It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about the things that we get for free
It's all about love the whole year long
It's not about a Christmas song
It's not about a Christmas song

good harmony and theme on christmas nice melody

First of all, the bass line going 4/4 set the tone (with the keys also) and my brain kept searching for where it was going, and then it hit me that the beat reminded me of Genesis, and then the whole song fell into place for me. It's a strong-sounding song overall with a message.

I know who this is and another great song...you voice is charming with this song and a reminder of what xmas should be...

Well put-together production! Good job!

I like your instrumental parts

I love the introduction, it sounds so open and spacious - very good outlook on Christmas. Great vocals and instrumentation, sounds a little like Kenny Rodgers (The Gambler).

Nice lyrics good vocals.

Very nice feel to song, vocals are nice and lyrics are good, mix and recording quality are good too, Good Job!
