There’s enough joy at Christmas time to be shared by all, but for some, the Christmas season can be a tough time.  Our next-door neighbor lost her husband this past year and we know she’s already struggling with how she’s going to face it after spending it for the past 50 years with Bill.

It’s a wondrous time for expectations and, unfortunately, a potential time of disappointments for others – adults and children alike.

So, we thought we’d address this issue as well on our album.  It’s a story too often lived by many, but we’ve tried to give it a happy ending and simply pour in the Truth to the moment.  Julia will take you on a most plaintive ride, yet, in the end, provide the solution to all of our Christmas disappointments.

In this song, we envision a daughter and mother …

And That’s Enough

Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
But they weren’t ringing them for me
I woke that morning just like any other kid
Knowing it would be right there, under the tree
Dressed in silver and gold with red ribbons
Waiting there
Waiting there just for me

But as the day went by
And time ran out
The hope inside my heart just slipped away
Cuz I didn’t get what I wanted
And I kinda felt cheated
I thought this was to be my special day

I knew my ma was watching me
I know she knew just how I felt
Since Dad had left us it was only just us two
It was tough enough to deal with all we were dealt
Mama said, “Darlin’, oh girl I wanna talk to you
You know,
Now we’re just scraping by and oh baby
If I could, I would buy you the world” she cried.

“But now it’s time for truth
Ya’ know, it’s just not your day
This day is really all about another child
An’ I’m so sorry

So ya’ didn’t get what cha wanted
But ya’ got what you needed
We got love in our life and that’s enough”

We got love in our life
And that’s enough
Love in our life
And that’s enough
That’s enough
That’s enough for us

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
And they were ringing just for us
For us
For us
And that’s enough
