about

I thought it was about time I wrote a Christmas song to play at the Lismore 'Carols in the heart' this year. Although its been a challenging year for all of us, I was surprised by the cheerfulness that came up for me in writing this tune.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
Merry Christmas from Lismore.
Luke

Christmas In Lismore- words & music by Luke Vassella 2020

I don’t wanna go anywhere else this year
I’m having Christmas in Lismore
I’m gonna stay right here
Here with my family and here with my friends
Here where the heatwave never ends

No I’m not afraid of the new year to come
I wanna look for the good side in everyone
Wanna savour the precious moments this life brings
Give my thanks and praise to the King of all kings

Oooh it’s Christmas in Lismore
Oooh Merry Christmas from Lismore

Yeah it’s been a year things turned upside down
I’m gonna stay right here in my own hometown
Why go north, south, east or west
When it’s Bundjalung country that I love the best

If we don’t have a fire, if we don’t have a flood
Drought, plague, war or cyclone, I’ll be happy enough
But if we do I’ll be here with the people I love
Praying for peace and some help from above

Oooh it's Christmas in Lismore
Oooh Merry Christmas from Lismore

Next year I’m gonna live more, I’m gonna love more
Believe me darlin I’m gonna kiss and hug more
Cos' we’ve been blessed to be a blessing let’s give more
Peace, love and understanding for Christmas in Lismore

No I don’t want to go anywhere else this year
If the family want to see me well they’ll have to come here
Bring grandma, the presents, the kids and the dog
We’ll keep the solar powered air conditioning on

I heard a song about happiness that’s still in reach,
Where we could drop all our worries like towels on the beach
Yeah well that sure sounds good to me
Let's be making the new year the best it can be

Ooh it's Christmas in Lismore
Ooh Merry Christmas from Lismore
Oooh it's Christmas in Lismore
Oooh Merry Christmas from Lismore
Merry Christmas from Lismore
Merry Christmas from live more, love more, give more, hug more
Merry Christmas from Lismore
