Lyrics
NOT ABOUT A CHRISTMAS SONG
© 2007 Lyrics & Music by Bob Bentley
Verse 1. It's not the cold or the twinkling lights
Or the snow outside, or the stars so bright
It's not what you eat or how loud you sing
That's nothing to do with anything
Chorus 1. It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about the presents under your tree
It's all about love the whole year long
It's not about a Christmas song
It's not about a Christmas song
Verse 2. It's all about the way we choose
To show respect for other views
The gift of love is what we need
For the Christmas Story to succeed
Verse 3. It's what you do for all mankind
For rich or poor, the strength you find
For people who are on their knees
Christmas is about all these
Chorus 2. It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about the gifts that we get for free
It's all about love the whole year long
It's not about a Christmas song
It's not about a Christmas song
Chorus 3. It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about the things that we get for free
It's all about love the whole year long
It's not about a Christmas song
It's not about a Christmas song
