For Lynard Dylan
You're a cool guy, brother. I went ahead and penned a Merry Christmas song in your honor. Obviously, you're not the subject of the lyrics, though!
"Crystalize/Materialize"
In your eyes,
There might materialize;
A glimmer,
When you hear kids vocalize:
Carols sung,
To the backdrop of bells rung;
No penny,
We can raise voices for free:
And Sing:
Gloooooooooooooooooorrrrriiiiaaaaa,
In excelsis deo;
Gloooooooooooooooooorrrrrriiiaaaaa,
In excelsis deo!
Now my eyes,
They begin to crystallize;
Happy tears,
Those voices assuage all fears:
Now we're here,
Thinking about what's held dear;
It's Christmas,
I want only one thing this year:
I don't want cash cards or stuff packed in stockings,
This year all I want are the meaningful things;
For all to be calm and happy for awhile,
All I want for Christmas is to see you smile.
Money's tight,
But at least we have tonight;
Live it right,
No reason to be contrite:
I don't care,
Don't worry about a thing,
I won't scare,
As long as I can hear you sing:
Gloooooooooooooooooorrrrriiiiaaaaa,
In excelsis deo;
Gloooooooooooooooooorrrrrriiiaaaaa,
In excelsis deo!
Now your eyes,
They begin to crystallize;
Stuff unbought,
Be happy with what we've got:
The children,
May not get all that they want;
By and by,
They've still got what cash can't buy!
I don't want cash cards or stuff packed in stockings,
This year all I want are the meaningful things;
For all to be calm and happy for awhile,
All I want for Christmas is to see you smile.
I don't want cash cards or stuff packed in stockings,
This year all I want are the meaningful things;
For all to be calm and happy for awhile,
All I want for Christmas is to see the kids smile!
And hear them sing:
Gloooooooooooooooooorrrrriiiiaaaaa,
In excelsis deo;
Gloooooooooooooooooorrrrrriiiaaaaa,
In excelsis deo!
