Bastiaan Ragas was a member of the popular Dutch boy band, Caught In The Act, a group that enjoyed significant success in Germany and Austria from 1992 until their break-up in 1998. Before recording "Christmas Time", Ragas had a huge hit with the ballad "Alles", performed as a duet with his wife Tooske Breugem, a well-known Dutch television host/presenter. "Christmas Time" was produced by Erwin Steylen, a musician, composer and producer from the Dutch city Tilburg, and a one-time member of UK singer Ian Perry's backing band. |

Lyrics: | We waited all through the year For the day to appear When we could be together in harmony You know the time will come Peace on earth for everyone And we can live forever In a world where we are free Let it shine for you and me Theres something about Christmas time Something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day To see the joy in the childrens eyes The way that the old folks smile Says that Christmas will never go away We're all as one tonight Makes no difference if you're black or white If we can keep the spirit More than one day of the year Send a message loud and clear Theres something about Christmas time Something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day To see the joy in the childrens eyes The way that the old folks smile Says that Christmas will never go away It's the time of year when everyone's together We'll celebrate here on Christmas Day When the ones you love are there You can feel the magic in the air You know it's everywhere Theres something about Christmas time Theres something about Christmas time Theres something about Christmas time Something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day To see the joy in the childrens eyes The way that the old folks smile Says that Christmas will never go away Please tell me Christmas will never go away |
