The first ever song I wrote for the Festive Follies. 8/29/14.
lyrics
She smells like Christmastime,
I don't know why.
Like chestnuts roasting over an open fire.
And I wish I knew her prior.
She's coming down
With the snow around,
And I can't see but a flame, a beautiful stain.
Oh, I cry, I cry her name.
We can tell stories and carols, too,
Read the tale of Cindy Lou Who,
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
Would you like to come over?
And we can go skating and skiing, too,
Do what fireplace people will do,
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
Would you like to come over?
Cherry wine,
A special kind.
It's only out in December, I went and remembered.
Are we here, the end of the year?
Let's pass it around,
Maybe hit the town,
I just need you to care, say you'll meet me there.
I'm not fine with you on my mind.
We can tell stories and carols, too,
Read the tale of Cindy Lou Who,
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
Would you like to come over?
And we can go skating and skiing, too,
Do what fireplace people will do,
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
Would you like to come over?
Christmas lights,
A merry sight,
And the TV's only on for the ambient noise.
All we here is broadcasting joy.
We can tell stories and carols, too,
Read the tale of Cindy Lou Who,
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
(Honest to god, say you wanna come over).
Would you like to come over?
And we can go skating and skiing, too,
Do what fireplace people will do,
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
(Honest to god, say you wanna come over).
Would you like to come over?
But you gotta be honest, completely blunt.
Would you like to come over?
