Lyrics
Searching for Christmas
Written by Elayne Schroeder and Ricky Nalett
Searching for Christmas, where did you go? I need to know.
Searching for Christmas, all of those feelings I miss so,
The ones from long ago.
Thru the traffic and the noise,
I need to find those simple joys.
Is there something missing to this season?
There must be so much more it seems,
Have we lost those precious dreams?
They?ve been long forgotten, what?s the reason?
Searching for Christmas, what can I do to make it true?
Searching for Christmas, where is the magic I once knew?
Do you miss it too?
The sparkle in a young child?s eye,
The song that makes a grownup cry,
The touch that reaches out to say, ?I?m with you?.
Why?s it just one day a year
We choose to celebrate with cheer.
Can?t we keep this feeling, the whole year through?
Searching for Christmas, I know the answer can?t be far.
I?m getting closer, closer to reaching for that star.
Holding hands and touching hearts
That?s how the magic starts
Gifts of love we?re bringing make it Christmas
Believing what the eyes can?t see
Now it?s coming back to me
I know it?s always been there, I found Christmas
I found Christmas.
In my heart.
