Story Behind The Song
I was singing in the group Silver by Fire and we needed some songs for a Christmas Album. Why not original songs? So I wrote this. It pretty much reflects my feelings as a musical person about this special time of year.
Song Description
It's the Christmas music you pull out, the choirs that pop up everywhere, bells of churches, bells everywhere, music everywhere, it's the feeling of having family gathered round and especially young children.

Lyrics
SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS
Let's hear some Como some Streisand and Bing
And don't forget good old Nat King
They capture the mood, sublime and subdued
That makes the whole world start to sing
SO MANY SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS OUR HEARTS HOLD DEAR
CHURCH BELLS RINGING AND SLEIGHBELLS CHING CHINGALING
CHILDREN LAUGHING WARM FIRES SNAP CRACKLING
THE MAGICAL SOUNDS FILL THE AIR
PIANOS AND STRINGS PLAYING GLORIOUS THINGS
AND CHOIRS CAROLING EVERYWHERE
Merrily ding dong ding
Bring on the sing song sounds of Christmas
Lyrics to songs that I learned way back when
Return with the chill in the wind
The songs full my heart releasing a spark
That starts all that spirit again
SO MANY SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS OUR HEARTS HOLD DEAR
CHURCH BELLS RINGING AND SLEIGHBELLS CHING CHINGALING
CHILDREN LAUGHING WARM FIRES SNAP CRACKLING
THE MAGICAL SOUNDS FILL THE AIR
PIANOS AND STRINGS PLAYING GLORIOUS THINGS
AND CHOIRS CAROLING EVERYWHERE
YES ALL THE SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS RING LOUD AND CLEAR
GOOD FRIENDS HELLOING AND SANTAS HO-HO-ING
OUR ENDLESS TALKING CHAMPAGNE CORKS POPPING
BUT WHAT WE LOVE MOST TO HEAR
ARE THE CHRISTMAS WISHES AND GOODNIGHT KISSES
AS OUR ANGELS SAY THEIR PRAYERS
YES THE SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS WE LOVE TO HEAR
ARE THE SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR
THE SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR
