This is my 10th year of posting a Christmas video and after moving to Nashville this year, I forgot I wrote a Christmas song in 1983 with Atlanta country legend Freddy Weller, my studio partner at the time Danny Jones and R & B Legend Brook Benton recorded it. Being around songwriter friends and in Nashville these days reminded me to look at my songs I wrote over the years. MikeStewartSongs.com if you want to hear more Watch the video to get the password!
In the past, I would do a public domain Christmas song, but this year I made a video with images that were the inspiration when I wrote the song in my studio over 30 years. I also included for your enjoyment the download the country version I did and lyrics to the song as well. So Merry Christmas and here’s to an awesome 2017!
Beautiful Memories of Christmas
Written by Mike Stewart, Freddy Weller, & Danny Jones
You know, Christmas really is for children, but there’s a little child in all of us.
This time of year, I get a little sentimental when I think about some of the precious memories
I had as a child. I’d like to share a few of those memories with you right now.
Christmas lights shining bright,
Snow was falling oh but I was warm inside.
Nose pressed on the store front glass,
Electric trains,
Things I thought I couldn’t last till Christmas morning.
Almost scared to sit on Santa’s knee,
But you know I had to tell him what to bring to me.
I guess the favorite times that I had,
Were decorating the Christmas tree with my mom and dad,
Oh love them.
We’ve got beautiful memories of Christmas,
Memories I’ll always remember,
Beautiful memories of Christmas.
Many years have come and gone,
I’ve grown up and I’ve got children of my own.
But the thrill of Christmas never dies,
When you see it through a young child’s eyes,
Watch them light up on Christmas morning.
We’ve got beautiful memories of Christmas,
Memories I’ll always remember,
Beautiful memories of Christmas.
Beautiful memories of Christmas.
Memories I’ll always remember,
Beautiful memories of Christmas.
We’ve got beautiful memories of Christmas,
Memories I’ll always remember,
Beautiful memories of Christmas.
