Christmas By The Sea
	(written by Mike Bryant)
(key of D)

The snow is falling in the Rockies
It seems California's praying to get rain
All across this land everything is different
And at Christmas nothing ever stays the same
Memories are the things that seem to
	haunt me
Reliving Christmas of a past that used
	to be
But at least
"There's Peace On Earth"
In the sounds I hear around me
As we celebrate this Christmas by the sea

(Chorus)
I've left the hustle and the bustle of the
	city
Where people in a hurry never seem to see
All the magic to experience at Christmas
Like a child opening gifts beneath the tree
This year I celebrate in peaceful thought
	those memories
Sharing love and joy this Christmas by
	the sea

(Musical Break)

(Bridge)
All the boats are decked in Christmas lights
While the waves break up the "Silent Night"
And I realize our star is bright
Like the love you share with me
And I'm glad we spent this Christmas
	by the sea
Cause the peace we've found is just for
	you and me

(Chorus)
I've left the hustle and the bustle of the
	city
Where people in a hurry never seem to see
All the magic to experience at Christmas
Like a child opening gifts beneath the tree
This year I celebrate in peaceful thought
	those memories
Sharing love and joy this Christmas by
	the sea

This year I celebrate in peaceful thought
	those memories
Sharing love and joy this Christmas by
	the sea
