Love is Free (This Christmas)

Snowflakes are falling all through the air
Traveling all through the night this year
Radio’s playing my favorite songs
Alleluia Alleluia Alle-luia

Merry, oh merry I hear the sounds
Children are singing and jingle bells
It’s been so long since we’ve all been home
No matter where you may have gone this year
Come in from the snow it’s so warm in here

CHORUS           
And love is free
You and me oh, we’ll be together
Our love is free
We’ll be one with nothing between us
Everywhere far as the eye can see

Shadows are playing in candlelight
Listening to stories of older days
Seeing the child on your smiling face
Laughing and carols around the fire

Sweet smells of dinner all thru the air
Cookies are warming on window sills
Worries and troubles can wait until
The New Year comes ringing and bringing light
Oh we’re all together it’s Christmas Night

CHORUS           
And love (this Christmas) is free (this Christmas)
You and me oh, we’ll be together
Our love (this Christmas) is free (this Christmas)
We’ll be one with nothing between us
Everywhere far as the eye can see

BRIDGE            
Open hearts and wishes
Fade with passing pages
Can we leave the whole world behind
Like a child

CHORUS (2X)           
And love (this Christmas) is free (this Christmas)
You and me oh, we’ll be together
Our love (this Christmas) is free (this Christmas)
We’ll be one with nothing between us
Everywhere far as the eye can see    

Everywhere far as the eye can see     (repeat, fade out)

Special thanks from Bill to Irene for the songwriting experience – it’s a great tribute to our friendship all these years! Thanks to Carl for your awesome ear and audio skill, plus lending a voice and an egg! Wonderful working with you Phil, and great sounds from Bradley and Kiley – you guys really made this song have some atmosphere!

Thanks to all our supporters, fans, friends, and most of all, family – without you, there would be no meaning in any of our favorite Christmas memories!  And thanks to God for the gifts he has given me, may I always use them for goodness and for your glory, especially in the time of year which celebrates the birth of your Son, Jesus!
