about

As I sat down to write this year's Christmas song I rummaged through the attic in my brain for topics. I just couldn't seem see past the boxes of junk filled with how much our family has endured in the past few years - snow storms, hurricanes, and too many friends and family gone.

I think one of my favorite Christmas songs is "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and it's use of the word 'muddle'. I recall many Holiday seasons where I muddled through and I think that this 2013 season will be that for many in our neck of the woods. But we'll get through because we'll still go through the motions albeit with a few gaping holes here and there.

"Christmas With You" is not a song about a specific time or place or person. We could be missing distant friends, children away at college, service men and women and this song will still hit the mark.

Peace to you all this season -

We Choose Love!

Darryl

lyrics

Christmas With You

The snow’s fallin’ down like angels tears
On a winter’s night like the one’s we shared for so many years
But now you’ve gone so far, so far away from me
And this time of year just ain’t the same as it used to be

I’ll light the candles and place them in my windows
Like a star for the Kings they’ll help you find your way back home
And I’ll think of moments lost
Like our breath when it turns to frost

I’m closing up my presents with ribbons and rue
And I dream about spending Christmas with you

I keep our old traditions close to my heart
I still trim the tree, light a fire, even though we’re apart
I pour a glass of wine and toast some cheer
And somehow, I seem to muddle through, even though you’re not here

I’ve written out my last card and put them all in the mail
I’m not sure if the one I wrote to you will ever find your door
I wait for one last kiss
Under the mistletoe I make a wish

I sing a few notes of a carol we both knew
And I dream about spending Christmas with you

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
