Tom Dyer and the True Olympians - Christmas is Love

from The Good, The Bad, and Other Christmas Favorites! by Green Monkey Christmas

/

about

I wrote this song and “Christmas in Olympia” in about 10 minutes and then fleshed out the lyrics. Life should always be that easy. The day I went to record this with the True Olympians was total Pro Tools disaster. The fellas were troopers and we got it done. I really like this band.
Produced by Tom Dyer Recorded at TDS Productions Olympia WA October 2017.

lyrics

Gather up your friends
Gather up your family
Hold close those that you hold dear
Take your time with them
Hear the words they have to say
Count those blessings for the year
Christmas is love

Gather in the kitchen
Sit before the fire
Watch the evening turn dark blue
Take part of your day
To greet the world out side
Help others more unfortunate than you.
Christmas is love

If you’re feeling lonely
Misunderstood
You can let it go today
There is hope now coming
If you only let it
Take a look outside

In the morning we may
Travel far away
To the places we call home
Before we leave let’s make a promise to hold dear
This day we shared and hope for many more
Christmas is love
