Christmas Cards And Colors Bright Somehow Just Won't Do
My father wrote these lyrics for a song. Although he was a music composer and lyricist and published many songs, this one never got published. He died in 1986.
In tribute to him and to convey my holiday wishes to all during this season, here it is:
* * * * *
Christmas cards and colors bright
Somehow just won’t do,
So let music fill this night
With my wish for you:
A bright and cheery Christmas to you,
May all your magic wishes come true;
With mistletoe and holly
And little faces jolly,
With peace on earth and gladness everywhere.
When Herald Angels out of the blue
Sing Halleluiah so joyful and true,
I’ll be there at the start of
And gladly be a part of
That bright and cheery Christmas
With you.
