lyrics

The Yuletide Vibe (written by Jack Bashwiner and Jimmy Cowan)

Not a snowflake in site
On this cold winter's night
There are car horns not sleigh bells
Calling out In the distance

Problems my problems
Round my neck like a stone
Drift away like embers
To burn out on their own

It’s the Yuletide Vibe
That makes everything alright
Feel it by the fire
It’s the Yuletide Vibe

Winter thunder knocks once then twice
And finds us here, all naughty and nice
Lightning bright like Christmas lights
Shows us the way to go

Worry oh worry
Shackled me in chains
Now they fall away like shadows
Not a link remains

The Yuletide Vibe
It makes darkness bright
Oh feel it here tonight
It’s the Yuletide Vibe

Oh love my love
Oh she surrounds me
Wraps me in her arms
And sets me free

It’s the Yuletide Vibe
In the city at Christmas time
As we share quiet moments
Side by side

It's the Yuletide Vibe
That makes my darkness bright
In your arms tonight
The Yuletide Vibe

It's the Yuletide Vibe
That makes everything alright
Feel it by the fire
The Yuletide Vibe
