Lyrics
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoo hoo,
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
That’s the quiet heartbreak behind “When Sunny Gets Blue,” a song Johnny Mathis didn’t just sing—he lived through every note. Recorded in 1956, his voice turned sadly into something strangely beautiful… like rain on a summer day. Decades later, it still aches in the best way—proof that some melodies don’t fade. They linger. 
“Wish You Were Here” isn’t just a song by the Bee Gees—it’s a quiet cry of love written for Andy Gibb, whose absence still echoes through their harmonies. Every lyric aches with longing, every note a memory kept alive. It’s not just a tribute to Andy—it’s a reminder that family and music can carry us through the hardest
