• December 24, 2025Keep Me Warm in Winter

  2025's Christmas Song

  Lyrics:

  Keep me warm in Winter

  Keep me safe and sound

  I’ll be yours at Christmas

  And the whole year round

  Let me be beside you

  Now and forever more

  I’ll keep you warm in winter

  Like no one has before

  Hold me by the fire

  And swear you’ll never let me go

  It’s the one thing that I require

  Please don’t let my body’s temperature be low

  But every year I’m faced with a dilemma

  When the ground outside has turned to white

  Do I go out and build a snow man?

  Or stay in my comfies tonight? Right

  I’ll stay in nice and cosy

  With the TV on

  Never mind the cold outside

  The snow will soon be gone

  “So why not seize the day, dear?”

  Your other half will say

  “Go out and build a snowman

  You’re never too old to play!”

  A snowman, becomes snowmen

  When someone’s there to lend a hand

  And the snowmen, will turn to nomen

  As soon as the sun shines on the land

  All that will be left is an assortment of twigs,

  A carrot and buttons there to show

  That for one man, to build a snowman

  It’s got to be cold enough to snow, so

  Keep it cold at Christmas

  Let the snowmen stay

  Hear those sleigh bells ringing

  For Santa’s on his way

  One more day of waiting

  Then what’s left to do?

  Just enjoy the moment before the day is through

  There shouldn’t be snow without the fire

  Together, the two can both remain

  So raise your glass a little higher now

  And welcome the cold and warm the same

  Keep me warm in Winter

  With a touch of frost

  Walk when it is freezing outside

  Then turn the heating on despite the cost

  Have the hottest chocolate

  To keep the cold at bay

  Have it with your loved ones

  On this Chirstmas Day!

• December 24, 2024Christmas Isn't What it Used to Be

  2024's Christmas song, written by Jamie Milburn and Libby Marsland.

  Lyrics:

  Tis the season for one another

  Happy just to be of good cheer

  No longer excited for Santa

  Or the coming year

  Cups of wine are all that I wish for

  That and someone lovely to hold

  No longer excited for presents

  Now I'm getting old

  Don't you worry, I will hurry

  Back in time for Christmas

  So save a chair

  And I'll be there to see you

  Maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be

  Cus nothing can forever stay the same

  No longer children living in a fantasy

  It's ruined and there's no one we can blame

  But maybe there's a twinkle just behind the eye

  A reminder that it all will be okay

  So maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be

  But Christmas is with us to stay

  Oh to stay

  Chestnuts used to roast by the fire

  Now they sit alone on the shelves

  People used to help as required

  Now they help themselves

  Wrapping up in warm winter clothing

  Going out to play in the snow

  Jack frost used to nip at our noses

  A long time ago

  In the cold dear, we'll grow old here

  Thinking ‘bout our Christmas

  So take your time

  You’ll see I'm still with you

  Maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be

  Cus nothing can forever stay the same

  No longer children living in a fantasy

  It's ruined and there's no one we can blame

  But maybe there's a twinkle just behind the eye

  A reminder that it all will be okay

  So maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be

  But Christmas is with us to stay

  It's going nowhere so everyone settle in

  Drink your wine and drink your beer and have a little gin

  Cus you’d better believe in something even on a whim

  There's Jesus Christ and Santa Clause when things are looking grim

  So even if you're all alone

  Find a Christmas of your own

  Grab a chair and I'll be there to see you

  You know I'll be there to see you

  Maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be

  Cus nothing can forever stay the same

  No longer children living in a fantasy

  It's ruined and there's no one we can blame

  But maybe there's a twinkle just behind the eye

  A reminder that it all will be okay

  So maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be

  But Christmas is with us to stay

• January 17, 2024Henry's Birthday Song

  Lyrics:

  Happy(x4) Birthday to Henry

  Happy(x4) Birthday to you

  Happy(x4) Birthday to Henry, and when he

  gets older he’ll clap and sing along too (doo doo doo doo)

  You are turning one today,

  You will laugh and love and play,

  Nothing is as precious as your smile

  Even when you learn to talk,

  Or jump or dance or sing or walk,

  Your smile will warm our hearts for a while

  With your family all around you

  who’ll be there to make you strong

  I just know the journey’s joyful

  And I know the journey’s long

  With love from all directions,

  Who could have a better start?

  You’re the boy who’s full of laughter

  With the biggest little heart

  Happy(x4) Birthday to Henry

  Happy(x4) Birthday to you

  Happy(x4) Birthday to Henry, and when he

  gets older he’ll clap and sing along too (doo doo doo doo)

• December 25, 2023Those Who Didn't Arrive

  2023's Christmas song, written by Jamie and Paul Milburn.

  Lyrics:

  Feeling awful, feeling numb

  Feeling sadness over someone

  Oh the emptiness inside

  Has left me cold

  To think about the many who won’t grow old

  What’s the use in Merry Christmas and the sentiment it brings?

  What’s the point in singing Christmas songs? And who likes carolling?

  It’s the ones who have a family, it’s the ones who love them so

  It’s the ones who sing "White Christmas" when there’s seldom any snow

  It’s beginning to look a lot like just another time of year

  When you don’t miss any presents and there presence isn’t here

  I’ve been dreaming of a night when they would magically appear

  And they tell me not to worry, have no fear

  Because once a year we all appear

  To find our way to Christmas day

  We’re the ones who made it out alive

  Here’s to those who didn’t arrive

  Feeling pointless, feeling rough

  Life disappoints us, life is tough

  And though the tears they may have dried the pain lives on

  Laced within the memories of a time before you were gone

  Oh I wish it could be different but alas it isn’t so

  So forget the decorations kiss goodbye to mistletoe

  All I want for each and everyone is peace and love tonight

  And the strength to rediscover that the world’s still full of light

  It’s beginning to look a lot like just another time of year

  When you don’t miss any presents and there presence isn’t here

  I’ve been dreaming of a night when they would magically appear

  And they tell me not to worry; have no fear

  Because once a year we all appear

  To find our way to Christmas day

  We’re the ones who made it out alive

  Here’s to those who didn’t arrive

  Because once a year we all appear

  To find our way to Christmas day

  We’re the ones who made it out alive

  Here’s to those who didn’t arrive

• November 27, 2023He was Loved (My Little Charlie Boy)

  The twelfth song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023).

  Lyrics:

  He used to run as fast as anything

  He used to climb the highest mountain top

  And although he couldn’t talk

  I knew he loved a walk

  You could see it in his eyes

  From morning till the end of day he’s there

  Waiting for us sat upon a chair

  Then shortly after four

  He’d greet us at the door

  You could see it in his smile

  That he was loved

  Over and over and over again

  And he did love

  Over and over and over again

  He brought into my life such joy

  My little Charlie Boy

  And if I had a rope he’d hold on tight

  I’d swing him in the air with all my might

  And if he lost his grip

  Was cut, or bruised, or nipped

  You could hear it in his voice

  He used to cuddle up on the settee

  He always wanted to sit next to me

  And if the tea I’d make

  He’d follow in my wake

  You could hear it in his paws

  That he was loved

  Over and over and over again

  And he did love

  Over and over and over again

  He brought into my life such joy

  My little Charlie Boy

  He walks with God now anytime he wants

  He eats in Heaven and drinks from endless fonts

  He will not be in pain

  He’ll never cry again

  And even though the sun has set on him

  The light he leaves behind will not go dim

  He was my special friend

  From the kennel to the end

  You could see it in his tail

  You could see it in his smile

  You could see it his life

  That he was loved

  Over and over and over again

  And he did love

  Over and over and over again

  He brought into my life such joy

  My little Charlie Boy (x3)

• November 27, 2023Erased

  The tenth song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023).

  Lyrics:

  It’s like I’ve been erased

  From all your days

  Each and every little picture

  Depictures a haze

  I’ve been relegated to a rueing phase

  Yes it’s like I’ve been erased

  From all your days

  It’s like I’ve been replaced

  With someone else

  And impersonating person

  Who’s worse than myself

  It’s a tragedy to see, that we

  Cannot see eye to eye or face to face

  It’s like I’ve been erased

  Here,

  All of my life has been a wasted

  Say what you like, but I’m falling

  Crumbling to the ground

  I know

  People move on so you should let go

  Nothing will stay the same forever

  Whatever comes your way

  You’ll live to see another day

  You take what you want it’s

  True dear

  But I can’t live without you dear

  It’s the price that I pay

  When I do what I do just to say

  It’s like I’ve been erased

  From all your days

  Each and every little picture

  Depictures a haze

  I’ve been relegated to a rueing phase

  Yes it’s like I’ve been erased

  From all your days

  It’s like I’ve been replaced

  With someone else

  And impersonating person

  Who’s worse than myself

  It’s a tragedy to see, that we

  Cannot see eye to eye or face to face

  It’s like I’ve been erased

  Why suffer through love and make mistakes

  I thought about love just for a second

  I reckoned I might

  But lately

  All of my life has been a daydream

  Crashing and burning to the ground

  And I found

  That I’m ill equipped to deal with all the stress

  You take what you want it’s

  True dear

  But I can’t live without you dear

  It’s the price that I pay

  When I do what I do just to say

  (It’s like I’ve been erased

  From all your days

  Each and every little picture

  Depictures a haze

  I’ve been relegated to a rueing phase

  Yes it’s like I’ve been erased

  From all your days

  It’s like I’ve been replaced

  With someone else

  And impersonating person

  Who’s worse than myself

  It’s a tragedy to see, that we

  Cannot see eye to eye or face to face

  It’s like I’ve been erased) x2

• November 27, 2023One Day at a Time

  The ninth and titular song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023).

  Lyrics:

  Mama cries into her tea

  Tears that will upset him

  He who sleeps sat next to me, today

  I’m caught in the middle

  Dry your eyes and count to three

  Clean the mess you’ve made here

  Lay me down so you can run away

  I’m caught in the middle

  I feel bad, I feel down, I feel blue

  You tell me what I’ve got to do

  Just take

  One day at a time

  One day at a time

  You’ll never be afraid

  To take

  One day at a time

  One day at a time

  Then you’ll never be done

  Drink a beer and watch T.V

  Try to numb the pain here

  Drown your joy with misery today

  I’m caught in the middle

  Weekends spent alone with him

  Bruises to explain here

  You tried your best to live on holiday

  I’m caught in the middle

  I feel bad, I feel down, I feel blue

  You tell me what I’ve got to do

  Just take

  One day at a time

  One day at a time

  You’ll never be afraid

  To take

  One day at a time

  One day at a time

  Then you’ll never be done

  You get up in the morning

  Then go back to sleep just to

  Get up again, and again, and again

  And with every morning you wake up to

  Is a beautiful future in front of you

  Forever, and ever

  Just take

  One day at a time

  One day at a time

  You’ll never be afraid

  To take

  One day at a time

  One day at a time

  Then you’ll never be done x3

• November 27, 2023Beef Bourguignon

  The eighth song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023).

  Lyrics:

  Got out of prison just today

  You bet I’m hungry

  Stopped at McDonalds on the way

  And I sat there numbly as I couldn’t eat a thing

  So I went to burger king

  But my craving was for something more gourmet

  You might be wondering how I ended up in prison

  It’s quite the story, let me tell you

  That one day I was minding my own business

  And on old lady left

  Something up upon her window sill

  It sat there so that it could chill

  You shouldn’t leave your precious things alone

  I was just walking by

  Then this dish did catch my eye

  Tempting me to eat

  Calling my name

  After I would never be the same

  And I thought it’s not so complicated

  I should have maybe waited to say

  Hey! Bourguignon!

  Give me some of that beef bourguignon

  No need to marinate it all night long

  Put it in a stew, call it bourguignon

  I heard you had a recipe

  That seemingly was meant for me today!

  Bourguignon!

  Wrap it up and send some bourguignon my way

  I was done for trespassing and stealing

  They gave me thirty days in the pen

  Who could know my time would be revealing

  I know more now than I did then

  I know I like that beef

  Even if it causes grief

  And I said as much to the lady who came by

  This little old dear,

  I said what the hell you doing here?

  Rubbing in my face

  What I couldn’t enjoy

  For she came there only to destroy any hope of

  Being satiated

  I must have been frustrated cus I said

  Hey! Bourguignon!

  Give me some of that beef bourguignon

  No need to marinate it all night long

  Put it in a stew, call it bourguignon

  I heard you had a recipe

  That seemingly was meant for me today!

  Bourguignon!

  Wrap it up and send some bourguignon my way

  Hey! Bourguignon!

  Give me some of that beef bourguignon

  No need to marinate it all night long

  Put it in a stew, call it bourguignon

  I heard you had a recipe

  That seemingly was meant for me today!

  Bourguignon!

  Wrap it up and send some bourguignon my way

• November 27, 2023When You're Gone

  The seventh song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023).

  Lyrics:

  Oh I,

  Was enthralled with your mystical kiss,

  But if you’re gone, when you’re gone, then you’re gone

  Oh I,

  Said that you’d be emphatically missed

  But when you’re gone, then you’re gone

  I like sunshine

  And looking at clouds as they float through the sky

  I like the view

  I don’t know why

  See how I walk through the town

  I look most like everyone else

  I smile through the sadness of what I have lost

  Now you’re no longer around

  Oh I,

  Was enthralled with your mystical kiss,

  But if you’re gone, when you’re gone, then you’re gone

  Oh I,

  Said that you’d be emphatically missed

  But when you’re gone, then you’re gone

  We had bookings,

  Now that you’ve left me I’ve cancelled them all

  I used to dream big,

  Now I dream small

  Never again will I love

  Not after this turmoil I’m in

  The nights are the worst when I’m sleeping alone

  You’re lips are what I’m thinking of

  Oh I,

  Was enthralled with your mystical kiss,

  But if you’re gone, when you’re gone, then you’re gone

  Oh I,

  Said that you’d be emphatically missed

  But when you’re gone, then you’re gone

• November 27, 2023Worth His Weight In Gold

  The sixth song on the album "One Day at a Time" (2023).

  Lyrics:

  Perhaps my parents were misled that I would ever come to something

  It’s a small miscalculation that some promise leads to nothing

  It’s the end for me forever for there’s nothing left to say

  I’ll pack up my things and say goodbye then I’ll be heading on my way

  And yes I’m fine

  Thank you for asking

  Wait? No one was asking?

  It’s simply a figment of imagination now

  It’s fine I’m a grown up

  So nobody showed up

  It takes more than absence to bring me down

  But just because you’re eighteen doesn’t mean you’ve mastered how to cope

  You’ve spent years inside a building with the opposite of hope and now you’re

  Suddenly expected to have everything together

  That no matter what life throws at you you’ll fix it cus you’re clever

  Never mind

  Fumble and panic

  You’re life’s a titanic

  One little bump and you crumble to the ground

  Why did nobody tell you

  What kind of hell you’d face on this magical merry-go-round

  Don’t think that you deserve it

  Cus baby you’re worth it

  See through the demons that are prowling in the night

  Don’t hide on the surface

  Cus baby you’re worth it

  Dig a little deeper till you start to feel right

  I don’t understand you

  But at least I can stand you

  Which is more than I can say for other people on the Earth

  What kind of a person is not very old

  And worth his weight in gold

  You!

  Nobody tells you that this life is made for some

  Half the world is full of fishes and the other half is chum

  On one hand there’s despair and on the other hand there’s fun

  It’s a world where if you’re smart and poor you might as well be dumb

  Cus then you won’t know how lamentable your situation is

  You’d figure something’s wrong but then you’d fill your life with love and kids

  And they inherit all the bad decisions that you ever did

  And by the time you’re bored with playing dad you can’t get rid of your mistakes

  Roll with the damage

  Collect all the baggage

  See what a mess you can make of this life

  It’s all just a game to you

  It’s always the same to you

  Then it all ends in a blink of an eye

  Don’t think that you deserve it

  Cus baby you’re worth it

  See through the demons that are prowling in the night

  Don’t hide on the surface

  Cus baby you’re worth it

  Dig a little deeper till you start to feel right

  I don’t understand you

  But at least I can stand you

  Which is more than I can say for other people on the Earth

  What kind of a person is not very old

  And worth his weight in gold

  You!

  Ah you!

  What kind of a person is not very old

  What kind of a person can never be told

  You’re kind of a person a sight to behold

  And worth his weight in gold
