Christmas In The Air
Year: 1998
Written By: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill/Kenny Rogers
The Trans-Siberian
Orchestra is an impressive 60-piece orchestra that has specialised
in original Christmas material under the guidance of songwriter
Paul O'Neill. The collective have to date recorded 3 seasonal
themed LP's and the euphoric 'Christmas In The Air' is taken from
the middle one 'The Christmas Attic'. The song is never less than
uplifting and is marked by its lovely piano intro. It might veer
into bombast on occasion but that hardly seems to be a problem for
much of our most cherished festive favourites.
Kenny Rogers also
recorded a song called 'Christmas In The Air' for his 2004 CD/DVD
presentation 'Keep Christmas With You'. Whereas Trans-Siberian
Orchestra went for big and bold, Kenny instead opted for gentle and
soft and it resulted in a charming number by the country star.
Christmas In The Air Lyrics
Christmas time in the middle of a city
Seeking its salvation
With every string of lights
That suddenly appears
Children stare with new found wonder
No one dares to break the trance
Every wish is carefully numbered
And God has granted all a second chance
This day
And all at once
The dream's begun
And as we mark the old year's passing
Strangers greet
On every street
And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere
There's Christmas in the air
On this night
To this light
We see it all again
On this night
To this light
We see it all again
On this night
To this light
We see it all again
On this night
To this light
We see it all again
All again
On this winter night
We still wait for you
And now the time has come
When all the world is one
And as we mark the old year's passing
Strangers greet
On every street
And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere
There's Christmas in the air
There comes a time when we're on our own
Some times in life such a thing must be
But such a thing should not be known
This night
This night
This night
And now the time has come
And now the time has come
And now the time has come
And now the time has come
And now the time has come
And all the world is one
And as we mark the old year's passing
Strangers greet
On every street
And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere
There's Christmas in the air
