Verse 1 I’ll have a Black Christmas this year, ’Cause everybody I love is right here. All the laughter and cheer, Fillin’ up every room, loud and clear— Yeah, a Black Christmas feels like heaven when folks gather near. Verse 2 We’ll have that sweet holiday spread, Cornbread and ham, Auntie’s yams, Mama’s bread. Kids runnin’ ’round bein’ fed, Grandpa noddin’ his head— And the stories we tell keep the past walkin’ right where we tread. Chorus ’Cause when a Black Christmas comes, It’s the joy that just hums, Like a record that spins in your soul. All that love in the air, Family everywhere— It’s the season that makes you feel whole. Verse 3 I’ll have a Black Christmas so bright, All that warmth turnin’ winter to light. Every hug holdin’ tight, Every smile pure delight, And the music we play keeps the season just right through the night. Verse 4 We’ll have that whole family dance, Cousins jumpin’ up quick when they get the chance. Uncle Joe’s funny stance, Grandma givin’ that glance— Lord, this holiday rhythm put us all in a beautiful trance. Final Chorus Yeah, when a Black Christmas starts, It’s the beat of our hearts, And the memories wrapped up like gold. With our people right there, Ain’t a moment to spare— It’s the season that never grows old. Tag So here’s to Black Christmas again… Where the love never ends… And the joy just comes rollin’ on in.
