I'm Dreaming of an Aussie Christmas

So it's almost Christmas again. I finished another of my Aussie Christmas songs earlier. This is my seventh song now and this year I thought I'd do an Aussie version of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas. I chose it as it's one of those songs everyone knows so hopefully it'll be easy to follow, and also because I wanted to tell a bit more of a story this year.

Christmas is a fun time but it can be very hard if you're overseas and wishing you could be back home or waiting for a plane home. I wanted to try to capture that feeling as it's a side of Christmas we don't often see.

I hope you enjoy it and if you have any suggestions for next year's song, let me know. ;)

I'm Dreaming of an Aussie Christmas

The snow is falling, the wind is cold The airport is crowded and grey There's never been a colder day And I miss my family so far away It's December the twenty-fourth And I'm still waiting here way up north...

I'm dreaming of an Aussie ChristmasJust like the ones I used to knowWhere the summer sizzlesAnd it never drizzlesAnd there's cricket on the radio

I'm dreaming of an Aussie ChristmasWith friends on a warm December nightMay your summer be warm and lightAnd may all your Christmases be bright

I'm dreaming of an Aussie ChristmasJust like the ones I used to knowWhere the hot sand glimmersAnd the water shimmersAnd we play in the sun's golden glow

I'm dreaming of an Aussie ChristmasWith my family holding me tightMay your days be filled with delightAnd may all your Christmases be bright

And may all your Christmases May all your Chrissie days be May all your Christmases be bright
