From the prolific US singer-songwriter’s second box set of festive songs, Silver and Gold, volume titled Christmas Infinity Voyage: Songs for Christmas, Vol. VIII, a cosy, beautiful, if slightly melancholy of depiction of a couple-only non-family occasion of just watching TV. There’s a strange aura to this - relaxing, faintly blissful, but without any family, it’s also empty, and for many at Christmas time, an increasingly common scenario …
No travel plans, no shopping malls
No candy canes or Santa Claus
For as the day of rest draws near
It's just the two of us this year
No silver bells or mistletoe
We'll kiss and watch our TV shows
[Chorus]
I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Until it's Christmas in the room
[Verse 2]
No traffic jams, no ice and storm
Far in the house the fire is warm
No Christmas tree, no great parade
It's just an ordinary day
No parties planned, no place to go
It's just the two of us alone
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we feel inside
[Chorus]
I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Until it's Christmas in the room
Until it's Christmas in the room
[Bridge]
Oh, I can see the day when we'll die
But I don't care to think of silence
For now, I hear you laughing
The greatest joy is like the sunrise
[Verse 3]
No gifts to give, they're all right here
Inside our hearts the glorious cheer
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we know inside
[Chorus]
I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Until it's Christmas in the room
Until it's Christmas in the room
Like it's Christmas in the room
Like it's Christmas in the room.
