Christmas Bells (2020 Demo)

about

Happy Holidays! Due to the overwhelming response when this was played live, I recorded a quick demo of Christmas Bells for everyone to have FOR FREE!

It's a demo, so it's not perfect by any means. I also got REALLY folky with it for some reason. The song just has that effect I guess. But I wanted to get it down on (digital) tape and at least let folks have it if they wanted it.

Thank you all for listening!

lyrics

A gray sky looms overhead
Threatening to snow
And the Santa on the corner
says it's once again that time of year
To spread joy and love and cheer
To those you care about most
For me it's you
And for you I hope it's me

When the Christmas bells are ringing
You'll know my love is true
I'll get the gift of your heart
Cuz I spent all my money on you

I might not make much
At this crummy store
I'm saving up for you
every penny stashed away
eating alone in my freezing apartment
Where the the thought of us together   
keeps me warm

No one looks at me the way you do
or talks to me without pity in disguise
Everywhere the message is so clear
For you to be mine
the more I'll have to buy
