waltz with me this christmas - album cover - illustration by Cheryl Chow - Jodie Chan (JOYA)

This latest song is my first original Christmas single. I hope this song makes listeners feel snug, as if they’re being tucked in Christmas stocking, by their favorite fireplace, sipping mulled wine. It’s a feel-good song.” Album cover by my very talented friend, Cheryl. 

Jodie Chan 最新演繹的作品是她第一首原創聖誕歌曲。乍聽起來像「一首輕鬆悅耳的聖誕歌」,但背後是自由奔放的聲樂和爵士流行樂的完美融合。 R&B 的節奏恍如Bruno Major(布魯諾·馬傑伊)與Norah Jones(諾拉·瓊絲)的無瑕結合。

「我期望這首歌能讓聽眾感到溫馨舒坦,恍惚置身於聖誕襪子裏,靠在暖烘烘的壁爐旁,搖晃著手中的暖葡萄酒的那種溫暖幸福感覺。」

 

LYRICS

 

The air smells of cinnamon

My feet light as snow

The only missing 

is you, don't you know

 

A three-quarter dance, 

made for two 

I'm hoping to dance with you

 

So, won’t you waltz with me this Christmas? 

It’s not much that I ask, 

white top tree’s are glistening, your favourite tune’s playing

We’ll sway til the morning nears 

(I’m starting to question, 

the place I’m heading, 

a new year without you here) 

 

Oh won’t you waltz with me this Christmas? 

don’t you feel the ache 

we’ll go and set the world on pause

Waltz with me right here/ my dear 

 

The fireside's warming,

Come fight the cold

Slowly we'll sway to

Sweet carols of old,

Time has passed and 

the stars will align, 

Just not on their own 

 

So, won’t you waltz with me this Christmas? 

It’s not much that I ask, 

white top tree’s are glistening

your favorite tune’s playing

We’ll sway til the morning nears 

 

Oh won’t you waltz with me this Christmas? 

don’t you feel the ache 

we’ll go and  put the world on pause

Waltz with me my dear 

Waltz with me my dear
