Christmas Doesn't Feel So Far Away
Rediscovering Warmth: A Christmas Tale in Song
Lyrics
I've been waiting all year long for something special
I have eagerly anticipated a special event throughout the entire year.
I was hoping you'd fly south with the birds
I had hoped that you would join me in going south, much like birds migrating.
There's no snow this year
This year, there is no snow.
But hey, that's nothing new
The absence of snow is not unusual or surprising.
What feels different now is I'm spending it with you
What feels different is that I am spending this time with you.
No matter what every year feels the same
Traditionally, every year seems the same.
But you brought back that feeling that melted away
You have reintroduced a feeling that had faded away.
Something's been missing
There has been a sense of something missing.
But this year it changed
This year, there has been a noticeable change in that feeling.
And now Christmas doesn't feel so far away
Now, Christmas doesn't feel distant; it's closer.
Years before this I would drive however far
In previous years, I would travel any distance to experience something emotionally significant.
Just to look at lights and feel anything at all
Even just viewing holiday lights provided a sense of connection or emotion.
I can't find the cold
I cannot find the cold, possibly referring to a lack of traditional winter elements.
But every year that's true
Despite the absence of cold, this is a recurring truth every year.
It just got warmer now that I'm sitting here with you
The warmth I feel now is because I am with you.
No matter what every year feels the same
Similar to the earlier sentiment, each year seems monotonous.
But you brought back that feeling that melted away
You have revived a feeling that had previously faded away.
Something's been missing
There has been a sense of something missing.
But this year it changed
This year, there has been a noticeable change in that feeling.
And now Christmas doesn't feel so far away
Now, Christmas doesn't feel distant; it's closer.
This December it feels different in your arms
In your arms, December feels different, perhaps warmer and more intimate.
Maybe Christmas isn't so far after all
The idea that Christmas may not be as distant as initially perceived.
