Christmas in Memphis
Christmas In Memphis
©1985 Singles Only Music, BMI
By Michael Porter & Stephony Smith
It’s December Twenty-Four
Just Like All The Ones Before
This One Is Different
Seems Like Everyone I See
Makes A Point of Wishing Me
A Merry Christmas
*It’s Not The Presents Or The Lights Up On The Trees
It’s Not the Santas Ringing Bells Out In The Streets
It’s That I’m Home and There’s No Place I’d Rather Be
Because It’s Christmas in Memphis
Christmas In Memphis
Christmas in Memphis, Tennessee
Once Again It Didn’t Snow
And I Turn on My Radio
And “Blue Christmas” Plays
When the Clock Rolls Past The Twelve
We Put Time Put Up On A Shelf
Just For A Day
*Repeat Chorus
On This Silent Night Hear The Church Bells Ring
As the River Goes By Caroling
There’s Not A Stranger Tonight In This Town On The Bluff
A Star Shines Bright As A Symbol of Love
*Repeat Chorus
Remember The Babe
“Remember the Babe”
©1996 Michael Porter and Phil Black
I love the scent of burning logs
I love the taste of fresh eggnog
I love to make my Christmas list
I love the frost and snowy mist
I love the tinsel in the trees
I love the season shopping sprees
I love the greetings and the cheer
But most of all I love to hear the story of the Babe
The Babe of the Christmas Day
And in His name to you this prayer I say
*Like the angel may your words bring good news to behold
May you come to know the wealth of frankincense and gold
May you posses great knowledge like the Eastern Magi men
May your light shine as bright as the Star of Bethlehem
May you receive a miracle when the night is cold and hard
May your heart always be open like a living Christmas card
I love the thought of peace and joy
I love “The Little Drummer Boy”
I love it when George Bailey sings as Clarence finally gets his wings
I love the flavors and the smells
I love the Barking Jingle Bells
I love Rudolph and Santa Claus
But most of all I love to pause and remember the Babe
The Babe of Christmas Day
And in His name to you this prayer I say
*Repeat Chorus
