Rather than have a fundraiser for charity like we've done the past several years, we thought we would simply put this song out there for people to enjoy without the pressure of asking for donations. The Dalliance wishes everyone a healthy and happy holiday season, and we look forward to bringing you new music and new performances in 2014!
lyrics
Is it true, what they say?
Does the spirit of the season really go away?
Is it real? Can it last?
Do we let go of these feelings way too fast?
Do we really know
What it means
To give love?
Why do we waste so much energy
Holding on to painful thoughts and memories?
Can we find the strength to let go and forgive?
Can we open up our hearts and let love live?
Do we really know
What it means
To give love?
Time is a gift that can never be returned
Love is the only gift that gives itself back
Life gives us chances to live and to learn
When will we learn?
Do we really know
What it means
To give love?
