Τα δυο κομμάτια του Marvin Gaye, το ‘I Want To Come Home For Christmas’ και το ινστρουμένταλ ‘Christmas In The City’ (με τον MG στο moog), ηχογραφημένα το 1972, επρόκειτο να κυκλοφορήσουν σε single, A & B side αντίστοιχα. Το σχέδιο δεν πραγματοποιήθηκε, και έπρεπε να περιμένουν την συλλογή του 1990 για να δουν το φως της ημέρας. 🍄 🍄 These two Marvin Gaye’s pieces, ‘I Want To Come Home For Christmas’ and the instrumental ‘Christmas In The City’ (with MG on the moog), recorded in 1972, were to be released as a single, A & B side respectively. The project did not materialize and they didn’t see the light of day until the release of the 1990 collection.

I’d give anything to see
A little Christmas tree
And to hear, hear the laughter
Of children playing in the snow
To kiss my baby, under the mistletoe
But I can’t promise my eyes this sight
Unless they stop the fight
Cause I’m a prisoner of war
Lying here in my cell
Hoping my family is well
Wish they wouldn’t worry so much about me
Just try to get us home
In time for the Christmas tree
Listen, oh yeah, ooo
I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Ooo, I want to hear jingle bells ring
Want to hear jingle bells ringing
But I can’t promise my eyes this sight
Unless they stop the fight
Ooo, ooo, ooo
If I can’t make it home in time
I know you’ll be keeping my spirit bright
By wearing my name and trying to stop this fight
Ah, but I’d give anything to see you the family
And that little Christmas tree
Ooo, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Oh, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Yes, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Ooo, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
