Beautiful, Altogether

Jamie Cullum


We are beautiful, when we're altogether
Round a table that could burst at the seams
Singing old melodies
That just live on the breeze

We are magical, when we're altogether
With the holly and the ivy in bloom
Share a present or two
With a warm merry tune

Decorating the room
I know that we've been untethered
But it's true, whatever the weather
We're beautiful when we're altogether

Just once a year
We'll gather here
And bring out all the joy of festive cheer
Familiar scenes
The same routines
Of paper crowns and mistletoe and old movies

We are beautiful, when we're altogether
Why don't you and I just drift back to shore?
Where the fireplace roars
From the rooftops we'll call
Merry Christmas to all!

I know that we've been untethered
Now come home, where there's always shelter
We're beautiful when we're all together
