A Joyous Song – Boyz II Men

Here is the second Boyz II Men entry from the 1983 LP, Christmas Interpretations. This song, like the rest of the LP, gives me that “by the fireplace on Christmas morning” feeling. It’s not traditional, but it should be a classic. Like Share Love, it combines the joy of being with family with the joy of humanity in a chorus that celebrates life and thanks God for it. It truly is a joyous song.

Lyrics courtesy of lyricsmania.com:

Love over flows around this season
Our hearts find pleasure in the simplest of things
It brings joy to a child
When he sees all the decorations hanging all around
The birthday of our king
We sing praises to you
People gather around to see a tree
Light up the sky for all of the world to see
Of all the holidays that exist
None makes more happier than this one

I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I’ll say
Thank you Lord
It’s so great to be alive
Because it’s all about love

As we sit around the fire place
Windows fill with snow as it flutters down and gives the ground a glow
I feel your kisses
Your warm embrace
Kneeling as we pray
To thank our Lord for what he’s done for us
Time stands so still
As I touch your hand it says things to me words never will

I feel it (it’s easy to feel) peace all the way inside
Joy from a stranger as he walks by and says
Hi, Merry Christmas to you and yours
May you receive everything you wish for and more
I see love

I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I’ll say
Thank you Lord
It’s so great to be alive
Because it’s all about love
(repeats five times)
