You Can Still Believe in Christmas

Here's a rough demo (voice and guitar) of a Christmas song I came up with a few years ago but just polished up this year.

 

S You Can Still Believe in Christmas C

(click here to listen)

If you don’t believe in Santa Claus

you might believe in love.

You don’t have to picture angels

in choirs up above.

You can still believe in Christmas,

that magic time of year

when family, friends, and miracles appear.

You don’t have to drain your bank account

to give someone a smile.

Kind words said to a stranger,

hey, now that’s the Christmas style.

You can still believe in Christmas

and warm a winter’s night

for love will always make the season bright.

I’ve had my humbug moments, 

held a Christmas grudge or two.

But I let them go, ‘cause now I know

t’was the Christmas thing to do.

I believe in Zuzu’s petals. 

I believe in Nat King Cole.

I believe that nearly everyone 

has some Christmas in their soul.

You can still believe in Christmas 

and toast on Christmas Eve—

t’is better to forgive than to receive.
