I Believe In Father Christmas (Open Collaboration) by markjbennett published on 2017-11-30T14:14:35Z This is a respectful acappella cover of Greg Lake's 1975 hit, 'I Believe in Father Christmas'. As the post is a vocal only stem, please feel free to download, should you wish to add an arrangement of your own. If you post your version, let me know and then I'll repost on my cloud. Should you prefer a drier version of the vocal without any effects or treatments, please message me and I'll email/wetransfer you a copy. Please have fun with this and have a good holiday season when it comes. Best wishes, Mark They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin birth I remember one Christmas morning A winter’s light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a silent night And they told me a fairy story 'til I believed in the Israelite And I believed in father Christmas And I looked to the sky with excited eyes 'til I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave new year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas we get we deserve Just in case anyone hasn't heard the original - unlikely I know - here is a youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hjq8f2-3bM Genre Open Collaboration Comment by N.o.b.S.
