Prompt
An intimate contemporary holiday singer-songwriter ballad at a slow, unhurried tempo, led by a warm, soft male voice with conversational narrative delivery and narrow-range, speech-like stepwise phrasing. Use clean electric piano with sparse sustained chords, minimal arrangement, gentle rubato, and no percussion, keeping the vocal close and unobscured.
Lyrics
The kitchen chair is still a little cold. I’m heating up the coffee from the pot. The radio is playing something old, About a winter that the world forgot. I watched the neighbor hanging up his lights, Balancing a ladder in the snow. It’s funny how these quiet, frosty nights Make everything feel fifty years ago. It’s just a simple kind of Christmas. Nothing loud and nothing new. It’s just a simple kind of Christmas, And I’m spending it with you. We didn’t buy the biggest tree this year. Just a little cedar by the door. But when the evening settle down in here, I couldn’t ask for any second more. The wrapping paper’s scattered on the rug. The dog is sleeping heavy by the heat. There’s a comfort in a ceramic mug, And the way the silence feels so sweet. It’s just a simple kind of Christmas. Nothing loud and nothing new. It’s just a simple kind of Christmas, And I’m spending it with you. Maybe later we can take a walk, See the way the ice hangs from the eaves. We don’t even really have to talk, Just listen to the wind among the leaves. It’s just a simple kind of Christmas. Nothing loud and nothing new. It’s just a simple kind of Christmas, And I’m spending it with you. With you. Just a simple kind of day. Merry Christmas.
