about

Recorded by Clay Williams.

Originally recorded in 2017, this 2018 update now features Paul Odegaard on trumpet!!

The song is called 'Christmas Wish' and was written for a holiday show and partly inspired by 'Unhappy Holidays' a Dissonance event.

Dedicated to everyone who struggles during the Holiday season. I hear you x

lyrics

All the stores are full of shiny and pretty things
bubbles and bows and chocolate and diamond rings
all that glitter and gold makes my head spin
but the only stuff that matters ain't a thing

It's never gonna be the same
its always gonna be a shame
'cause I know my Christmas wish
ain't coming true
so I gotta find a way
to make it through the holiday
when the only thing I want is you

This time of year
is always a little hard
and I can't say how I feel
in a simple card
so I try my best
to hang up my pretty lights
but without you here
they never shine so bright

It's never gonna be the same
its always gonna be a shame
'cause I know my Christmas wish
ain't coming true
so I gotta find a way
to make it through the holiday
when the only thing I want is you

You did all the things
that the season brings
and without you here
we try to carry on
but you're in our hearts
and you're on our minds
and I hope you know we know
you're never gone

It's never gonna be the same
its always gonna be a shame
'cause I know my Christmas wish
ain't coming true
so I gotta find a way
to make it through the holiday
when the only thing I want is you
