Topic: No Magic at Christmas

This is just a missing my Son during Christmas song. I’m sure he’s doing okay over there in the dirt but we all sure do miss him and wish he was here with us. Anyway I hope you all like it.

No Magic at Christmas By Jeff Gilpin


December 13th, 2007






[G]There is no [Em7]magic


At [D]Christmas this [C]year


[G]No Santa [Em7]Claus


[D]No Christmas [C]cheer


[G]You’re far far a[Em7]way


The [D]one we hold [C]dear


That’s why [G]there’s no [Em7]magic


At [D]Christmas this [C]year


Oh we’ll [D]hear all the carols just the [G]same


Peace on [D]earth and those other [G]refrains


Yet the [C]one who’s usually here


Is [D]in all our thoughts but not [D7]near


[G]There is no [Em7]magic


At [D]Christmas this [C]year


[G]No Santa [Em7]Claus



[D]No Christmas [C]cheer


[G]You’re far far a[Em7]way


The [D]one we hold [C]dear


That’s why [G]there’s no [Em7]magic


At [D]Christmas this [C]year


We’ll [D]open presents one at a [G]time


And yet [D]it’ll seem just like a [G]crime


As [C]we sit around the Christmas tree


[D]Missing a big part of our [D7]family


[G]There is no [Em7]magic


At [D]Christmas this [C]year


[G]No Santa [Em7]Claus


[D]No Christmas [C]cheer


[G]You’re far far a[Em7]way


The [D]one we hold [C]dear


That’s why [G]there’s no [Em7]magic


At [D]Christmas this [C]year [G]
