Fall In Love with Christmas Again
Previously we released "Mothers And Shepherds", which has the gravitas of a Christmas classic. We wanted to follow it up with a lighthearted bop - to fully round out our Christmas offering.

CHORUS
I wanna fall in love with Christmas again
I wanna feel the warmth and magic in the air
Maybe it’s the season, maybe it’s the lights
Maybe it’s feeling when I look into your eyes
That’s making me fall in love again
VERSE 1
Been homesick for another me
Who waited by the Christmas tree
Just dreaming of the presents in every box
I want to hear the melodies of
Yultetide hymns we used to sing
That made the season live inside my heart
VERSE 2
I wanna be the kind of soul
That still believes in miracles
In spite of every reason to give up
I don’t how I let it slip away
There’s still a child thats still inside that wants to play
On Christmas day
