I Love The Holiday Season-Music & Lyrics by ZL Zeal

[Intro] [piano melody, sleigh bells, orchestral strings] [Verse 1] [piano and strings] For a little while the world slows down The busy days just fade away Time with those we hold so dear Makes every moment worth the wait [Pre-Chorus] [drums enter, driving beat] I love the holiday season When the house smells like pine Bare feet on the cold floor Hot cocoa at eight-nine The windows wear a frost lace And the porch light glows gold Every wrapped up little box Feels like a story told [Chorus] [full band, sleigh bells, bright energy] You can hear it in the hallway In the laugh behind the door Little moments pile up And I want a little more I love the holiday season Love the spark in your eye I love the holiday season When your hand finds mine I love the holiday season Every wish feels near I love the holiday season Hold me close this year [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, piano accents] The old song on the radio Makes the whole room sway Cookie crumbs on the table We just let them stay Scarves on the chair back Snow on your coat Family in the doorway Warmth in every note [Chorus] [full band] You can hear it in the hallway In the laugh behind the door Little moments pile up And I want a little more I love the holiday season Love the spark in your eye I love the holiday season When your hand finds mine I love the holiday season Every wish feels near I love the holiday season Hold me close this year [Bridge] [brass section enters, high energy] Through the year we're on the go Different roads and lives we know Now there's time to share and care Building memories year by year [Chorus] [soaring vocals, full orchestral pop arrangement] You can hear it in the hallway In the laugh behind the door Little moments pile up And I want a little more I love the holiday season Love the spark in your eye I love the holiday season When your hand finds mine I love the holiday season Every wish feels near I love the holiday season Hold me close this year [Outro] [tempo slows, piano and strings] Let the night go slow Let the frost shine bright All the little things feel just right tonight I love the holiday season Love the spark in your eye I love the holiday season When your hand finds mine I love the holiday season Every wish feels near I love the holiday season Hold me close this year [vocal ad-libs] I love the holiday season [piano and strings fade] The laughter lingers in the air The little moments that we share And though the seasons come and go The warmth of friendship always shows
