A Christmas Carol

Voicing: SATB

This original choral piece was written for the end of a new version of the classic A Christmas Carol. However, this has been performed by many choirs as a stand alone piece for holiday and Christmas concerts.

Lyrics
(by Denis McCourt)

Why do we talk about old times and remember? Remember?
Why do we shop for presents in December? December?
Why do kids care and friends say more than anything else in this world, 
we want to share a perfect day.

It’s a day to dream, a day when wishes all come true. 
It’s a day to dream, a day to say that I love you. 

As we sing A Christmas Carol for you, we hope that love and joy ring through. 
We share a peace and joy so true, 
As we sing a Christmas Carol for you. 

Why do we put a tree inside, in December? December? 
Why do we love a fire’s glow and it’s ember? It’s Ember.
Why do friends laugh and kids say more than anything else in this world, 
we want to share a perfect day.

It’s a day to dream, a day when hearts can all be true. 
It’s a day to dream, the day we say, “I Love You.”

As we sing A Christmas Carol for you, we raise a glass make a toast or two.
We wish you health in all you do, 
As we sing A Christmas Carol for you. 

Laugh in the light of the past.
Live in the joy that is now. 
Love, dream, hope, joy and live the life that’s meant to be. 

It’s a day to dream, a day when wishes all come true. 
It’s a day to dream, a day to say that I love you. 

As we sing A Christmas Carol for you, we hope that love and joy ring through. 
We share a peace and joy so true, 
As we sing, as we sing a Christmas Carol for you.
