It's Time
Eric and Monique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you put your hand in mine
No matter where we are it's Christmas
With you, I feel it all the time
When you sing along it's Christmas
You know your pitch ain't perfect, but oh you make me smile
When you share your heart, it's Christmas
No, this love ain't ever ever going out of style
Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo
Buying groceries for dinner
Dancing in the aisles to love songs on the radio, at Trader Joe's
You make me feel, feel like the greatest winner
And every time i look at you
You make me see how beautiful
The colors that were black and white
Are purple hues and silver skies
Though sometimes I forget the light
You remind of the truth inside
With you, this loving in my life
It's Christmas all the time
Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo
When I see your face it's Christmas
When you put your hand in mine
No matter where we are, it's Christmas
With you, I feel it all the time
With you, it's Christmas
It's Christmas all the time
The song "It's Time" by Eric and Monique features an intro and outro that repeatedly says the lines "It's been a long time" which are sampled from legendary rapper Rakim's 1997 song "It's Been A Long Time".

Rakim's verse talks about how he is still one of the best and most respected rappers in the game, and how he has brought new styles to the world of rap.
