Lyrics

Christmas Bossa Nova

Words & Music by Jan Garrett and Glen Roethel


[Just because it's December, and the nights are getting long
Doesn't mean we have to surrender to the weather
I would rather remember the place inside a song
Where we can travel to heaven together......]

Close your eyes and I'll hold you, And we'll sway like an ocean breeze
(You got to) use your imagination, Cause I don't speak Portuguese
Maybe we don't got airline tickets, but Baby, I got the moves
(Let me do the) Christmas Bossa Nova with you......

Feel the silky sand slippin solftly between your toes
Come on back to the cabana, and we'll.....see where it goes
The sun is slowly setting, and it feels like the time is right
(To the) Christmas Bossa Nova...tonight.

We can do the Tango, the Cumbia, the Salsa groove is cool
There's the merengue, the cha cha,
But I've got a special dance for you

Baby, isn't this better than presents under the tree
Money just can't buy the kind of love between you & me
We don't have to leave the house to celebrate this year
We can do the Christmas Bossa Nova right here!

We could do the hip hop...the be bop...I would even begin the Beguine
We could samba to La Bamba
If only you'll come and dance with me

Baby, isn't this better than presents under the tree
Money just can't buy the kind of love between you & me
We don't have to leave the house to celebrate this year
We can do the Christmas Bossa Nova
Over and over
We can do the Christmas Bossa Nova right here!
