I Wish You Love For Christmas

Story Behind The Song

After watching Carrie Underwood's Christmas special and realizing she didn't have her own iconic Holiday song, I wrote this with her in mind.

What better wish for Christmas than Love!? Done in a smooth waltz time signature, this celebrates everything Christmas from the Religious aspect to families, kids, opening presents, snow and mistletoe.

Lyrics

I wish you love for Christmas. I wish you happiness and cheer.
It's good to be with family as we close another year.
I wish you a merry Christmas, filled with laughter,
hope and joy, and the promise of God's grace and love,
for every girl and boy.

Fresh Winter snow. Green mistletoe.
Brightly-wrapped presents with ribbons and bows.
These are the reasons the Holiday seasons will set your hearts a-glow.

I wish you peace for Christmas. I wish the whole world could unite.
Faith and prayer will lead you there out of darkness into the light.
But let's all remember what the Day of Christmas means:
From Paradise came Jesus Christ, to be your King of Kings.

The Bethlehem story is filled with glory. A Savior is born to you!
Spirits will lift with the giving of gifts, and that means Christmas, too.

I wish you love for Christmas. I wish you happiness and cheer.
It's good to be with family as we close another year.
I wish you love for Christmas. I wish you love for Christmas.
I wish you love for Christmas.
It's good to see it's still you and me as we start another year!
