When Love Came Down

Lyrics

1.  The Brightest Light

 

Silent, unwilling, I bend to my task

Servant to none, ever proud

Look up and follow is all that you ask

Fearful, I lift up my eyes

 

And the brightest light you ever saw

The greatest gift, the loudest call

A son, a son is born to us all

Glory and praise to His name

 

There in your presence I fall on my knees

“Choose someone else,” I reply

“There must be others more worthy than I”

But still you beckon me

 

And the brightest light you ever saw

The greatest gift, the loudest call

A son, a son is born to us all

Glory and praise to His name

 

Many are wealthy and many are strong

Why such a gift just for me?

This child—a baby, our savior, your son

Has come to bring us peace

 

And the brightest light you ever saw

The greatest gift, the loudest call

A son, a son is born to us all

Glory and praise to His name

3.  Furry Christmas

 

I remember Christmas Day when I was just a kid

Mom and Dad did something that I never will forget

Curled up underneath our tree I found a new friend for me

 

This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs

And all our furry friends

When they can be in your family

Then Christmas never ends

 

I made myself a promise if I had kids of my own

Dogs and cats and furry things would always have a home

Underneath our Christmas tree in a happy family

 

This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs

And all our furry friends

When they can be in your family

Then Christmas never ends

 

Now I wake up Christmas morning, a cat lays on my head

I try to roll over but there are two dogs on my bed

I wonder if they’ll ever know about that Christmas long ago

 

This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs

And all our furry friends

When they can be in your family

Then Christmas never ends

 

Merry Christmas to

Cleo and Pikalo

Zulu and Maverick and Domino

Sammy and Mark and Cammie so rare

And Normandy who was fine and fair

Friday and Oakley and Tanner untamed,

Cali and Darkrow and fishes unnamed,

To Bonnie and Ginger and Lady too

This furry Christmas song’s for you

 

This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs

And all our furry friends

When they can be in your family

Then Christmas never ends

Christmas never ends, Christmas never ends

5.  When Will Christmas Come?

 

I was sitting in a classroom

The clock was turning backward

I didn’t hear a word the teacher said

It’s my favorite time of year

My mind is far away from here

I forgot the words that I just read

Outside the snow was falling—I heard vacation calling

I raised my hand and asked the only question in my head

 

When will Christmas come?

When will Christmas come?

 

Now I’m sitting in an office

Trying to get some work done

But everybody needs some of my time

Don’t they know what day it is

Why don’t they see how late it is

I nod my head pretend that all is fine

Outside the snow is falling—I hear vacation calling

And now I’m shouting out the only thing that’s on my mind

 

When will Christmas come?

When will Christmas come?

 

Because I can’t wait

I can’t take it any longer

 

Now I’m wishing I was with you

‘Cause all I do is miss you

But you are half a continent away

I’m staring at the calendar

I'm just waiting for the page to turn

‘Til you are coming home for Christmas day

Outside the snow is falling—I hear vacation calling

You know what I am thinking and there’s just one thing to say

 

When will Christmas come?

When will Christmas come?

When will Christmas come?

2.  My Christmas Love

 

There’s a feeling we get once a year

Peaceful, quiet, and calm when we hear

That God’s own love came down

Why does this beautiful time never last

The wind blows and all of a sudden it’s past

and the world keeps spinning ‘round

 

But no, not for me

The song won’t stop

The story never ends

 

With my Christmas love

Every day’s a holiday

The world slips away

while every night I celebrate

My Christmas love

 

I know this year was tougher than most

I pray to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

For your health and happiness

Next year adventures are beckoning us

Together we travel in wonder and trust . . .

that we are truly blessed

 

I’ll fall to my knees

Sing Gloria

The story never ends

 

With my Christmas love

Every day’s a holiday

The world slips away

while every night I celebrate

My Christmas love

 

And so the snow starts to fall once again

Seasons mark all the places we’ve been

And everywhere we’ll go

It’s Christmas time

When love came down

The story starts again

 

You’re my Christmas love

And every day’s a holiday

The world slips away

while every night I celebrate

My Christmas love

Together Christmas, forever Christmas love

4.  Home Again (Hallelujah)

 

A winter night, snow on the sidewalk

It’s Christmas time, silently wishing and dreaming (hallelujah)

And there’s a light, a light in the window

Come inside where everyone’s waiting and it calls you (hallelujah)

 

And peace will make you whole again

You find yourself at home again

 

The wind is cold, swirling around you

But you don’t move ‘cause everything’s perfect—can you feel it (hallelujah)

And something new has happened to you

Far beyond any words that you knew so you sing it (hallelujah)

 

And peace will make you whole again

You find yourself at home again

 

And the days fly so fast

They race into the past

Tonight—tonight you’re home at last

 

And peace will make you whole again

You find yourself at home again

6.  Lonely Christmas Day

 

If only I could turn back time and try it all again

I would say what I meant to say

Forget about what happened yesterday

And dream that now you were here somehow

 

Don’t you know it’s Christmas and you’re so far away

And all I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day

 

I don’t ask much—just a word or touch to tell me you’re still there

I’m feeling low and it scares me so

If I don’t hear from you I’ll never know

If you will be here with me

 

Don’t you know it’s Christmas and you’re so far away

And all I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day

 

Christmas comes just once each year

We shouldn’t be alone

I shed a tear for each falling flake of snow

 

The bells have rung, your stocking’s hung, the star is on the tree

The night’s so clear, but will you appear?

It won’t be Christmas until you are near

Say you’ll be here with me

 

Don’t you know it’s Christmas and you’re so far away

And all I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day

All I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day

7.  Little Angel

 

It’s time for bed little angel

It’s been a wonderful day

We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do

Won’t you dream of us too?

Little angel

 

Tomorrow we’ll go to the zoo

See zebras and lions and elephants too

When we come home

We’ll make a zoo of our own

Where the animals all play with you

The animals all play with you

 

It’s time for bed little angel

It’s been a wonderful day

We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do

Won’t you dream of us too?

Little angel

 

Tomorrow we’ll go ‘round the world

Curled up together with books in your room

We’ll climb a tall tree

We'll sail on the sea

Then we'll fly from the sun to the moon

We’ll fly from the sun to the moon

 

It’s time for bed little angel

It’s been a wonderful day

We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do

Won’t you dream of us too?

Little angel

 

We’ll have so many tomorrows

We’re going to spend them together with you

While you learn and play

And grow every day

We’ll make all your wishes come true

We’ll make all your wishes come true

 

It’s time for bed little angel

It’s been a wonderful day

We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do

Won’t you dream of us too?

Little angel

Good night, sleep tight little angel
