This is my original Christmas song :) I originally wrote a version of it as a ballad, but soon realized that its lyrics worked better with a more lively spirit. I love the simple things about Christmas time, like the cozy nights in and the spontaneous adventures with loved ones. Growing up close to New York City, my winter months consist of walking around taking in all of the wonders the city has to offer during the holidays. I decided to write a song about a little love developing during the most wonderful time of the year and sharing all these fuzzy Christmas traditions with this new person. <3 Hope you all enjoy it!
lyrics
Verse 1:
There's a sort of magic in the air
Oh no other time of the year really compares to Christmas time
We're sitting by the fire cozy by the tree
Sippin' our hot chocolate, what a perfect scene
And I don't know what's burning brighter,
The sparks between us, or the fire
And as it snows, I've gotta let you know
That the snowflakes aren't the only ones falling tonight
Chorus:
There's no better time to fall in love
than the most wonderful time of the year
So take my hand, 'cause I'm so glad
That it's Christmas, and you're here.
Fa la la la la la.
Hey, let's go ice skating
In Rockafellar Center
And window shopping in Times Square
Then we'll take the subway back to New Jersey
Talk about all the sights, and the city lights
As I look into those eyes
Oh the snowflakes aren't the only ones falling tonight
Verse 2:
There's no better time to fall in love
than the most wonderful time of the year
So take my hand, 'cause I'm so glad
That it's Christmas, and you're here.
Fa la la la la la.
Bridge:
You're the best gift this year
Bringing joy and so much cheer
Do you see what is happening here
Oh it's not just the Christmas spirit
There's something more, I can feel it
Do you feel it, too?
Chorus:
There's no better time to fall in love
than the most wonderful time of the year
So take my hand, 'cause I'm so glad
That it's Christmas, and you're here.
Fa la la la la la.
There's a sort of magic in the air
Oh no other time of the year really compares to
Falling in love, falling in love at Christmas time.
