Is it Time to Say Goodbye? by Julian Harvey and David Kent Is it Time to Say Goodbye? After all these tears I’ve cried Do I walk right out the door Or should I think it through once more? Is it Time to Say Goodbye? There’s no magic in his kiss There’s no passion in his eyes Is he tryin’ to set me free And leave the leavin’ up to me? Is it Time to Say Goodbye? In dreams it’s just the two of us when we first met Those perfect endless nights and summer days But still my morning pillow is soakin wet It’s crazy how a broken heart behaves Has he found some other love? Should it even matter why? Do I end it just like that? Slip the key under the mat? Is it Time to Say Goodbye? I wonder does he feel it when he holds me Just one more thing I guess I’ll never know Like how can two hearts be so close and yet so lonely? And is it harder holdin’ on or lettin’ go? I can’t fight this any more It’s the same each time I try I pick up the paper and the pen Then I lay them down again Is it Time to Say Goodbye? Is it Time to Say Goodbye? © 2020 by Julian Harvey and David Kent All Rights Reserved

Christmas Lights By Julian Harvey Christmas is a fun time For it’s the one time: Christmas Lights are all around Lighting up the town; Every tree is made bright On the snowiest night. Every building wishes you Season's greetings too. But the light I hold most dear Is the light that’s so sincere In young ones’ eyes When Christmas is here. Christmas Lights on boulevards Look like Christmas cards; Every home is a show Every home is aglow. And inside a fire’s light Is a welcome sight. But the light I hold most dear Is the light that’s so sincere In young ones’ eyes When Christmas is here. Christmas Lights on Christmas morn Make us glad we’re born. Children finally can see Presents under the tree. Every girl and every boy Soon is filled with joy. And the light I hold most dear Is the light that’s so sincere In young ones’ eyes when Christmas When Christmas is here. © 2022 by Julian Harvey All Rights Reserved

Don’t Knock Over the Christmas Tree by Julian Harvey On Christmas Eve when you can't sleep, Slowly down dark stairs you creep, To peek in the living room. Prepare to meet your doom. Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree. Your daddy chose it and it ain't free. You'll trip and if you fell, You’ll fell the tree as well. You will trash the place, Be in deep disgrace, In court surely lose, And make national news. Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree. Dad when you sneak downstairs to eat Food you left for Santa's treat, And look for the liverwurst But Santa got there first, Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree, It's you who chose it and it ain't free. You'll cause a major stir When yelling out "timBER"! With that fir aground, Chaos all around, You will face, of course, Quite a messy divorce. Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree. When Santa visits your abode Lots of presents to unload, He's careful as he can be. You can be sure that he Won't knock over the Christmas tree, He knows who chose it and it ain’t free. And when he drives his sleigh You’ll always hear him say, “When the time of year Calls for Christmas cheer, You’ll enjoy the Yule If you follow my rule: Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree." He won't knock over the Christmas tree, He knows who chose it and it ain’t free. And when he drives his sleigh You’ll always hear him say, “When the time of year Calls for Christmas cheer, You’ll enjoy the Yule If you follow my rule: Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree, Don't Knock Over the Christmas Tree!" © 2022 by Julian Harvey All Rights Reserved

This Time words by Kirkwood Brodie music by Julian Harvey I never looked for love This Time For magic in the air This Time No ribbons in my hair Or dancing on the stairs Or rainbows above me No giddy girl on strings This Time No waiting in the wings This Time This miss was on a roll Completely in control Until he told me he loved me I swore I’d never fall again I’d never wait for someone’s call again And now I’m living for it all again To hear him say to me I’m lovely He’s answering my prayers This Time He promises he cares This Time No need to wear my grin and bear again For I have heard someone declare again Somebody loves me This Time (c) 2023 by Kirkwood Brodie and Julian Harvey All Rights Reserved
