lyrics

At this time of year
We unwrap words like colored lights
And with bated breath
Carefully hang them in greeting cards

At this time of year
We share our toys and mistletoe
The chili on the stove
The shouts of neighbors by our windows
We want to wrap the whole year in a paper package

Joy appears this time of year

At this time of year
We want to laugh at our mistakes
To sing familiar songs
To watch our breath like smoke exhaled
We want our whole joy to appear in that cold, crisp air

Joy appears this time of year

Racing home in the snow
Our laughter is bouncing off of the buildings
We can almost hear
The angels rejoicing, the stars that are singing
Racing home in the snow
I’m trying to tell you, our life’s like a movie
We can already hear
The neighbors rejoicing, the landlady singing
Along with the pub band, and along with us

Do you hear what I hear?
Do you know what I know?
Do you see what I see?
Do you know what I know?

It's the book we just finished, the friend we just met, the laundry and the dishes. It's every sunset and celebration - sung out loud. Grab a banjo or a pan from the kitchen. This is a free-for-all. ... more
