Topic: Blue Cristmas

This is all about my godmother aunty Dolly, and how I used to wait for her to arrive at Christmas time, she lived in High Wycomb so it was quite a drive down to South Wales. For Dolly

Blue ChristmasUndefined


[F]Little candles on the [Dm]Christmas tree


[Gm]Chocolate Santa's [C]just for me


[Am]Silver tinsel [Bb]too


And I [F]keep [Am]one [Dm]gift [Gm]for [F]youREPEAT CHORDS FOR ALL VERSES




Needles falling to the floor


Every day a little more


Christmas makes me blue


If I can't be with you




chorus




[Bb]Blue [Am]Christmas,


[Bb]Blue [F]Christmas


The [Gm]angel seems so [C]blue


For [Bb]Christ[Am]mas [Gm]with out [F]you




[Bb]Blue [Am]Santa



[Bb]Blue [F]reindeer


[Gm]Christmas makes us [F]blue


If [Bb]we [Am]can't [Gm]be with [F]you


Noses pressed up to the window pane


Wanting snow, but getting rain


Looking out for you


For Christmas will be blue




repeat chorus




Christmas log on Christmas eve


But sadness falls as you take your leave


I start to cry for you


Without you Christmas is blue


I start to cry for you


Without you Christmas is blue

Re: Blue Cristmas

Phill very well written lyrics "noses pressed up on the window pane" kind of reminds me of my childhood the anticipation and waiting for the snow to fall good job phill smile

Re: Blue Cristmas

Lovely nostalgic song Phil,

Reminded me of my own lovely aunts i was blessed to have in life.

I could also cry at the thoughts of them not being around. But i am an aunt now to many, so i try to be there for all of them.

Ps i only got the chance today to listen to your other song!

"I tried to run away" great stuff Phil.

Thank You"

Re: Blue Cristmas

Hi Phill
Nice Christmas number liked the bell effect keyboard..
Well done.
Just a little aside the link takes you to Artist page and not the songs.:)
I had to fish around till i found the link to your songs.
Hope you don't mind if I post the link directly to your songs on soundclick

Hi Phill
I copied the link directly from the address bar at soundclick and it seems to contains a hidden attribute that doesn't appear in the actual link as it shows on the post.
If you copy and paste from the page's address bar on soundclick then the link should work ok.

Re: Blue Cristmas

Hi Phill,

Lovely song that I enjoyed playing along to.

I notice that your photo on Soundclick, just like your MySpace, has you holding a glass in your hand. I must come and visit you next time I am in the UK.............at the pub lol.

Seriously, a great song and recording.
