CHRISTMAS
TIME FEELING (Robert J. Purvis)
By a stand in the park just before dark, I will remember
How we met here before
And that picture still clear in my mind, mm mm mm
I remember you standing
The snow gently branding your shoulders
And that Christmas time feeling
Those bells sound appealing to me, ooh ooh ooh
Something makes me look back
On that crystal white path we used to linger
And the old drinking well
Where we wished nearly all our lives away, mm mm mm
All these things that I do
They remind me of you
And of that moment
As the snow slowly freezing
The season invites me to stay, ooh ooh ooh
Though you exist in my past
In my mind, you're quite real to me
With every snowflake that falls
Brings me closer to you
I'm not alone, I'm with you
I'm at home, I'm with everyone
Everything moves me
The feeling of you next to me
One for your eyes
Two for the smile you never left me
Three little words tell me so much I need to know, mm mm mm
For all it's worth
I still carry your old folded picture
And though it will fade
Shall always remain close to me, ooh ooh ooh
[scat singing (in place of solo)].
