Merry, merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
I said merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice

Gave me diamond rings for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe

I said, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice, yes, you did
Yes, you did, yes, you did, yes, you did
I said merry, merry Christmas baby

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

Underneath your mistletoe

We live very near Ms. Crow in Santa Rosa Beach FL. Have seen her chatted with her many times and she is simply perfect. Beautiful, smart, eloquent, charming and authentic! She's an American artist with a deep understand and high regard for our culture and community. She's truly a decent and approachable human being with amazing gifts

"That girl" and "That guy"? Are you being serious?

@misslantana52

Indeed I am! Eric is a fave of mine, in a class all by himself. Sheryl is fabulous! I'm good with the way I state things...to each his own.
