10 days ago I had the pleasure of reaching half a million plays on Soundcloud. After 11 years ;-)
So a thank you with a little composition to everyone!

Half a million - thank you !

A little keyboard noodling and few scrawled lyrical ides quickly grew into a festive seasonal tune of a crooner style. Schmaltzy? Absolutely! Sleigh bells? Check. Church bells? Yup! Angelic choir? It's all there! And Santa, too

Many thanks to Ray Brookes who was willing to work on the musical arrangement in breaks from his demanding carer role while his wife recuperates.

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! or whatever expression of goodwill you prefer!

Uploaded in time for the 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

Lyrics 

Oh the joy of Christmas
The snow is all around
Oh the joy of window shopping
Along the streets, in our town
And oh the joy it brings as the carolers merrily stroll
I love to see the snowflakes on your nose

Though the winds may howl
And the cold keeps an icy grip
There's still a joy that comes from
Holding loved ones oh so close
And time will tell 
Just how well we held
Each other as seasons come
And seasons go
With a twinkle in our eyes our hearts glow
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus

HEART OF THE FOREST

Like a soft summer breeze...

In the whispering woods where shadows play,
A boy walks alone, night turns to day.
Warm tree roots as his friends, and stars as his guides,
Learns from the silence, where secrets abide.

Like a soft summer breeze...

With every fallen leaf, a story unfolds,
Of dreams intertwined and awakenings bold
As he dances with shadows, and sings with the trees,
He learns to be free, like a soft summer breeze

Like a soft summer breeze...

[In the heart of the forest] He finds his way,
[Through echoes of laughter] In the light of the day.
[Growing strong in the wild] Where the wild things roam,
[In nature's embrace] He’s making his home.

Oh what will become of him?
What of his joy?
Weep for the future
And sing at his death
If we are the last of the trees to fall
The winds will pass unnoticed
And no-one else, no-one else can dance…

Lyrics:

All the crap you put me through
The hurtful things you said and done
Now you beg me to forgive and forget
And not to turn my back on you..

Chorus:
Forgiveness is not a free pass
Forgiveness is not forgetting
Forgiveness is letting go
So baby, I forgive you right now!

I could plan to take revenge
But I am not that kind of woman
Instead I take my hat, get ready to go
Cause baby, I forgive you right now..

Chorus

Chorus

I will not let hate take control
Because its simply not worth it
Instead I take my hat, ready to go
Oh baby, I forgive you right now..

Chorus:
Forgiveness is not a free pass
Forgiveness is not forgetting
Forgiveness is letting go
So baby, I forgive you right now!
