HERE  IS  CHRISTMAS

Written by  Ann Wilson / Nancy Wilson / Richie Zito Performed by  Ann & Nancy Wilsons as the Lovemongers

The night was black and velvet, the stars were all around A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground His eyes were wide with wonder, filled with stars and space He'd searched the heavens over till he'd found this place A sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears A song so feint and distant, so strong it drew him here Here is Christmas, come inside Here is Christmas, far and wide A thousand candles burning bright Here is Christmas shining in our eyes He wandered through the city, lost in the shopping crowds People rushing, people pushing, he watched without a sound Cash machines were singing about the biggest year But above this strange confusion, the carol still rang clear Then he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin And he knew he'd found the answer when the song began again Here is Christmas, come inside Here is Christmas, far and wide A thousand candles burning bright Here is Christmas shining in our eyes Here is Christmas, come inside Here is Christmas, far and wide A million candles burning bright Here is Christmas shining in our eyes

This song was one I searched long and  hard for.  I always have loved Christmas music, and a song about a special Christmas song that a galactic visitor searched long and hard for appealed to me even if the premise strains credibility just a little.  Suspending disbelief is OK this time of year.
