Love Is Christmas
Sara Bareilles Lyrics
I don’t care if the house is packed
Or the strings of light are broken
I don’t care if the gifts are wrapped
Or there’s nothing here to open
Love is not a toy, and no paper will conceal it
Love is simply joy that I’m home
I don’t care if the carpet's stained we've got food upon our table
I don’t care if it’s gonna rain, our little room is warm and stable
Love is who we are, and no season can contain it
Love would never fall for that
We sing oo
Oo
Oo
Let love lead us, love is Christmas
Why so scared that you’ll mess it up? When perfection keeps you haunted
All we need is your best my love, that’s all anyone ever wanted
Love is how we do, let no judgment overrule it
Love I look to you, and I sing
Let love lead us, love is Christmas
Let love lead us, love is Christmas

My Symphony ~ William ElleryChanning
To live content with small means.
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion.
To be worthy not respectable,
and wealthy not rich.
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently,
act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes,
and sages with open heart, to bear all cheerfully,
do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.

Good Lord. I had no idea that I would come across the most real and beautiful Christmas song I've ever heard, tonight. What a find.
Michael Krieger Music
Agreed.😊
Hannah Gidley
This is the perfect Christmas song for 2020.

"Love is who we are", and no pandemic can ever change that. I've loved this song for so long, but I loved it more this year, when our homes are a bit emptier and our tables lighter. It's good to remember that it's not the food or the decorations or the gifts, that make Christmas.

I get chills every time I listen to this...truly captures the essence of Christmas.

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. I can't stop listening to it. I am just now hearing it for the first time today.

This is quickly becoming my favourite Christmas song. It's just so sweet and wonderfully sung.
