lyrics

Christmas Comes and goes away.
I wish, for once, that it would stay a little longer.
Every trick of magic that I try
Just ends up tragically,
But my dream just grows stronger.

Christmas Comes and goes away so soon.
I wish that it would come again .. in June.
I’m very fond of every holiday,
But Christmas is the most - in every way.

In Santa’s sleigh, a gift for everyone.
No other day is filled with so much fun.
Yet, every time it goes away so soon;
I wish that it would come again in June.

I can think of nothing else eight months of every year.
By April I am filled with Christmas cheer(ing).
In May & June, I carol with delight.
By August, Mama’s sick of hearing:
"Silent night, Holy Night”

All is NOT calm nor bright.
Dear Santa:
I’m so very fond of you,
But how I could love you more six months from now.

Yes, Christmas Comes and goes away so soon.
I wish, I wish,
Oh how I wish it came again
In June (Christmas Comes and goes away too soon)
Too soon (sigh).

Not all remarkable creators get the spotlight they
deserve during their lifetime, and the Joan Beckow
Legacy Project came into existence to produce the
debut, albeit posthumous album of prolific, brilliant,
and under-celebrated female, Jewish, Canadian
composer, Joan Beckow, ... more
