Me & the machine (along with occasional friends)
My band is me. I am the band.
Story behind the song
I wanted to write a Christmas song that brought all of my memories of the holiday to bear.
Lyrics
Once a year comes Christmas,
Hopefully there's snow
Sledding, skates and snowball fights
Then thawing frozen toes
Once a year comes Christmas, then it's gone.
Once a year comes Christmas
And hopefully there's fun
With food and games for family,
Enough for those who come
Once a year comes Christmas, then it's gone
Once a year comes Christmas
And hopefully there's rest
From wrapping gifts and baking pies
And readying for guests
Once a year comes Christmas, then it's gone.
Christmas time is the merriest time of year
When children 'round the world begin to smile
They know the joy of every Christmas toy
That Santa puts beneath the Christmas tree
Once a year comes Christmas
Familiar carols bring
A sense of peace and harmony
To all who join and sing
Once a year comes Christmas, then it's gone.
Once a year comes Christmas
But most important rings
The birth of one who loves us all
Yes, Jesus, King of kings
Once a year comes Christmas,
Once a year comes Christmas
Once a year comes Christmas, then it's gone.
