Story Behind The Song

When we started writing this, we decided to put myself in the shoes of this person. Once we got into this, we had to work really hard to make it a positive experience for the listener so they could empathize with the many people who are living in this reality. The hope is to encourage everyone to share their time and love with the people in their lives not only at Christmas but throughout the year.

Song Description

This older gentleman is reacting to the world around him and moving from a pensive observation to being surrounded by sheer joy.

Lyrics

It doesn't feel like Christmas
But there's a stocking on my door
A tree out in the lobby
Lots of presents on the floor

It's snowing out my window
And it's sticking to the trees
It doesn't feel like Christmas
When my family's not with me

I hear the sounds of laughter
From somewhere down the hall
Their voices singing softly
Of their love for one and all

It's not that I feel lonely
It's not that I feel sad
It doesn't feel like Christmas
I miss the family that I have

Jingle Bells always makes me smile
Let it snow all night long
Gentle souls dressed in holiday style
Too many years have come & gone

Well, I can smell the turkey
When the nurse brings in my tray
The pills are in a Santa Cup
See him riding on his sleigh

She wished me "Merry Christmas"
When she took the tray away
It doesn't feel like Christmas
Seems like any other day

Silent Night on the radio
All alone in my chair
Seasons come and seasons go
Like a clock with no time to spare

They say today is Christmas
What's that sound outside my door?
Excited little voices
And my spirit starts to soar

My room soon fills with laughter
From every girl and boy
At last, it feels like Christmas
& my heart is filled with joy
I'm glad today is Christmas
Sharing love and peace with joy!

Share your Love with Joy
Share your Peace with Joy
Share your Hope with Joy
Share your Faith with Joy

Fill your Heart with Joy
Fill your Home with Joy
Fill your Life with Joy
Fill this World with Joy
