From the recording Our First Christmas Together Album
Lyrics
Just Be Thankful
[Verse]
While carols play softly by the fireside,
No need to peek at what’s wrapped in surprise.
Just be thankful for the love that surrounds,
Cherish the hearts in which your joy is found.
[Verse 2]
Instead of sneakin' under that twinkling tree,
Remember those here, it's them we should see.
Respect the moments, sweet and rare,
Our gratitude shows how much we care.
[Chorus]
Let’s gather close, feel the warmth and cheer,
Celebrate love with those we hold dear.
No need for gifts, the best one's free,
Thankfulness makes the sweetest memory.
[Verse 3]
The ornaments may shimmer and gleam,
But it’s the laughter that forms the dream.
In every hug and whispered tone,
Find the magic of never being alone.
[Verse 4]
Put away your guessing games,
Count blessings, don't count names.
Each face a precious, cherished part,
Love and kindness warm the heart.
[Bridge]
The seasons may change, but one thing’s true,
Family and friendships get us through.
By the light of the tree, oh can’t you see,
The greatest gift is you and me.
David Rose
