Story Behind The Song

A SONG REFLECTING ON THE BABY BOOMER MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS IN THE 60'S- PERSONALIZED IN A FEW PLACES...THE CONCEPT OR THE SONG IS A GENERAL THEME THAT COULD BE TWEAKED LYRICALLY TO FIT THE SCRIPT, BUT THINK THE SONG IS A UNIQUE CHORD PROGRESSION FOR A CHRISTMAS SONG...THE MUSIC IS STRONG AND ORIGINAL AND WORTH A LISTEN.

A CHRISTMAS SONG I WROTE FOR MY FAMILY IN 1996

Lyrics

CHRISTMAS TIME WITHIIN OUR HEARTS
NO MATTER HOW FAR
WE MAY BE APART
THE MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS TOGETHER FOREVER WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS
CHRISTMAS EVE AT GRANDMAS HOUSE
NOW IT'S TIME FOR BED
BUT NOT BEFORE THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS WOULD BE READ
BY DAD THEN MOM WOULD TUCK US INTO BED
AND THO WE HAD NO CHIMNEY THEN
WE KNEW THAT SOMEHOW SANTA WOULD GET IN
CHRISTMAS 1968 NONE OF US COULD WAIT
SO WE CRAWLED OUT OF THE COVERS OH SO QUIETLY
WHILE MOM AND DAD WERE SLEEPING WITH BRIAN AND BARRY THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS REFLECTED OFF THE SNOW
AND IN THAT MAGIC CHRISTMAS MOON
SHINING THROUGH THE WINDOW
WE SAW SHADOWS OF PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE
AND WE ALL WENT BACK TO SLEEP BUT GOING BACK TO BED I PAUSED
AND STOLE ONE OF THE COOKIES WE LEFT FOR SANTA CLAUS CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE AGAIN REMEMBER WHEN
WE WERE JUST CHILDREN
BENEATH THE SLIVER TREE
AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE CAMERA IN 1963
AND THE YEAR THAT WE THOUGHT THAT SANTA HAD FORGOT
WITH WATCHES ON THE TREE
WE THOUGHT THAT'S ALL HE BROUGHT US
THEN SMILING TO EACHOTHER
MOM AND DAD SUGGESTED WE GO OUT TO THE GARAGE
A BRAND NEW BIKE FOR YOU AND ME
THAT WAS THE CHRISTMAS OF 1970
CHRISTMAS TIME WITHIN OUR HEARTS
NO MATTER HOW FAR WE MAY BE APART
THE MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS TOGETHER FOREVER WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS
FA LA LA FA LA LA
FA LA LA LA LA LA
FA LA LA FA LA LA
FA LA LA LA
CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE AGAIN
