about

This song of mine is about the uniquely tender heartache of missing someone at Christmas. (The term "holiglo," coined by my friend Jim Martyka, represents the glow and warmth of the Christmas spirit.)

lyrics

Pour my cup of coffee
And plug in the lights
The room is full of holiglo, holiglo
But there's one feeling I can't fight

I miss you, my family, my friends, my loved ones
I wish I could be with you, feel your heart

So send me a card for Christmas
If I can't be with you
And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek
Fa la la la la la

I'll still bake the cookies
And I'll still trim the tree
I'll put the candles in the windows and hope it snows
And just dream of when you were with me

We'd sing and we'd laugh and we'd share our wishes
It's this time of year that I need you the most

So send me a card for Christmas
If I can't be with you
And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek
Fa la la la la la

I need you to know what your words mean to me
And how they soothe my heart
When I sit alone by the greenery
And we're worlds apart
But still I hope
That your envelope
Will find its way to my front door

So send me a card for Christmas
If I can't be with you
And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek
Fa la la la la la
