about

Greg made a Christmas card for Ron and family a few years ago and Ron set the words he'd written to music. The band worked up the arrangement.
Recorded at Neptunes Music in Britannia—thanks Dawn and Joe!

lyrics

It's Christmas time again, on this starry night
Stores decorated nice, all coloured lights
And great big signs that say "half price"
And it all looks so... pretty... really...
And the radio’s playing hymns and carols
About angels and the birth they herald
There's funny songs too, about momma kissing you know who
And seasons so white and blue
And it all sounds so... sweet... really Sweet... really

I guess this too's a Christmas song
A reminder to remember the day you’re on
Amid the shopping throngs and distractions
That I mentioned above you know what I'm speaking of
The lost the sick the lonely The ones who miss their one and only
And those who may have forgotten That there's still love on this big round world

Love, peace on earth, and goodwill yes there's still,
Love, peace on earth, and goodwill, on this big round world

hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Yes there's still, love, peace on earth and goodwill yes there's still
Love, peace on earth and goodwill, on this big round world
