about
A bonus track especially for the holidays! This song was written and recorded right after extensive sessions with Javier's Theme, December of 2010. I had considered this to end the album, but being a seasonal song, I elected to end the album with Javier's Theme instead, and keep the focus of its story intact. This song reflects what was a very tense and trying time and in turn, brings in that familiar holiday feeling to cap off the year with a little more hope.

Christmas Begins With You
(Written and recorded by J. DiCera, Dec. 18, 2010)
Christmas,
Christmas begins with fall,
With autumn leaves,
The warmth and the mist will fall,
And Christmas,
Christmas begins with love,
And Christmas,
Christmas begins with you.
The days behind you came and went
To teach you where your heart truly is.
There’s only love to share,
Now is the time.
There’s always faith inside,
Now is the time.
There’s all these things to heal,
Now is the time.
And there’s more time than we feel to give it a try. Oo-ooh..
And this Christmas,
Christmas will begin with you,
And this Christmas,
Christmas will begin with you.
Snowfall,
Light as the snow is peace,
And patience,
Peace on earth is ours,
You gotta trust it now.
You gotta want it now.
I know that you do.
And this Christmas,
Christmas begins with you.
The nights behind you came and went,
To teach you what your heart can really do.
There’s only love to share,
Now is the time.
There’s always faith inside,
Now is the time.
There’s all these things to heal,
Now is the time!
And there’s more time than we feel to give it a try..
And this Christmas,
Christmas will begin with you.
And this Christmas,
Christmas will begin with you.
And this Christmas,
Christmas will begin with you.
And this Christmas,
Christmas will begin with you…
Christmas will begin with you…
…begin with you!
