lyrics

© Dan Sullivan 2011

Carolers are singing
They’ve gathered all around
A brightly lit Christmas tree
In a snowy park downtown
Stores are full of Santas
And shoppers in good cheer
But it doesn’t feel at all
Like Christmas this year
It doesn’t feel at all
Like Christmas this year

I listen to the radio
And all those Christmas songs
I hear Salvation Army bells
Ringing all day long
I see the happy faces
As Christmas day draws near
But it doesn’t feel at all
Like Christmas this year
It doesn’t feel at all
Like Christmas this year

There’s nothing to look forward to
Now that you’re not here
Snowflakes aren’t as pretty
When you’re seeing them through tears

Carolers are singing
They’ve gathered all around
A brightly lit Christmas tree
In a snowy park downtown
Stores are full of Santas
And shoppers in good cheer
But it doesn’t feel at all
Like Christmas this year
It doesn’t feel at all
Like Christmas this year

about

Dan Sullivan Kalamazoo, Michigan

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
