Lyrics

IT WOULDN'T BE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU
(Papageorge)

I could buy some mistletoe
Candy cane and holly, too
But if I was by myself
What good would it do?

I could have a string of lights
To drape around the tree
But all the joy they could bring
Wouldn't mean a thing to me, cause

Chorus:
It wouldn't be Christmas without you
Here with me tonight
And the beauty of the season
Soon would pass me by
It wouldn't be Christmas without you
And holding you so near
Cause you're my inspiration today
And all through the year

I could walk Fifth Avenue
To feel the magic in the air
But I'd be lost and all alone
Completely unaware, cause (repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Warm by the fire's glow
Love and peace within
It's so nice to watch it snow
At Christmas time again, but (repeat Chorus)

Smooth and sweet, this acoustic Christmas song is like a warm holiday sweater. The lyric, vocal, guitar, and production knock this thing outta the park. Way outta the park. Perfect.

What a great voice! Crystal clear. I could understand every word! Vocal is heartfelt and very believable. This is a very nice holiday song. I really like your voice. The guitar work is beautiful and sounds great. The song's structure works well...I like the way you moved into the bridge.

I really like the sound of the guitar and I also like the vocals - the lyrics are fantastic - sounds a little like Ed Ames.

As you can see, I haven't gone over the top with my ratings, more middle of the range. That doesn't mean I can't hear potential. I actually hear a bit of a The Carpenter's sound within the melody and with an arrangement that help me get into the Christmas mode, more than the single guitar can do on the last day of January. I feel the hook is good enough to carry your song. Good luck!

You had a voice that reminded me of Tony bennet and that style of holiday music. I could see this being played on the radio at Christmas time. You send it out! You had a strong vocal and melody on this song. You did a great job, a few tweaks would be great.
