Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year - James Brown

Merry Christmas everybody Yeah, Merry Christmas everybody, big deal Hey man, what's wrong with you Jermaine? Yeah, that's no kind of attitude This only happens once a year Hey, fellas, don't bug in He and his girl just broke up, so get off his back Can't you see there's tears in his eyes? Yeah, he's cryin', look he's cryin' Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry Christmas won't be the same this year Without her loving arms holding you so near Christmas won't be the same this year (no, it won't, now, darlin', no, no) Without her loving arms holding you so near I see the lights But they don't shine for me I see the presents Underneath the Christmas tree Our house is decorated My friends are celebrating Christmas won't be the same this year Without her loving arms holding you so near Christmas won't be the same this year Without her loving arms holding you so near The neighborhood kids Are having so much fun Counting off the days 'Til Santa Claus comes And I see the mistletoe Hanging from my door I wish I could kiss you again Like I did before Christmas won't be the same this year Without her loving arms holding you so near So go on, girl And have your fun Don't spoil your time Thinking about me This time next year, my darling dear Hopefully, you'll be having dinner with me Christmas won't be the same this year (no, no) Without her loving arms holding you so near (no, no, it won't be the same) Christmas won't be the same this year (without you darling) Without her loving arms holding you so near (no, no)

As fall rides off in the sunset I sweep the snow from my doorstep I just can't help but stop and grin It's like I'm ten years old again And everywhere I go I can feel it Some say it moves like a spirit It falls on us once a year Like it came on a midnight clear It's all love The season is a gift When love came down to let us live Let's open up and let our hearts embrace this moment For Christmas this year Gonna make a sound Gonna make it loud For Christmas this year We're gonna make some noise Let the world rejoice For Christmas this year For Christmas For Christmas this year The laughter starts before the sunrise I sneak downstairs at the sparklin' lights And oh what joy it brings to me Our family around our Christmas tree And I thank the Lord for His favor As we sing the songs of the Savior Our Savior It's all love The season is a gift When love came down to let us live Let's open up and let our hearts embrace this moment For Christmas this year Gonna make a sound Gonna make it loud For Christmas this year We're gonna make some noise Let the world rejoice For Christmas this year For Christmas For Christmas this year Holy Holy holy God is coming near Unto us a Savior born On a midnight clear Holy Holy holy God is coming near Unto us a savior born On a midnight clear Oh For Christmas this year Gonna make a sound Gonna make it loud For Christmas this year We're gonna make some noise Let the world rejoice For Christmas this year For Christmas For Christmas this year For Christmas this year Gonna make a sound Gonna make it loud For Christmas this year We're gonna make some noise Let the world rejoice For Christmas this year For Christmas For Christmas this year Holy Holy holy God is coming near Unto us a savior born On a midnight clear
