🎅 It's Christmas (All Over the World) - Santa Claus The Movie - Sheena Easton

Details

Description

The song "It's Christmas (All Over the World)" was written by Bill House and John Hobbs with Freddie Mercury in mind. While it is known that Mercury recorded a demo for the House/Hobbs song at Pinewood Studios, he was never to make a full commitment to the project, as he and his Queen bandmates had already committed themselves to the Highlander soundtrack. In the end, Mercury turned down the project, stating that he felt that Queen had become overcrowded with requests to work on film soundtracks; as a result, Sheena Easton was ultimately chosen to record the tune.

Santa Claus: The Movie is a 1985 British-American Christmas film starring Dudley Moore, John Lithgow, and David Huddleston in the title role. It is the last major fantasy film produced by the Paris-based father-and-son production team of Alexander and Ilya Salkind. The film was directed by Jeannot Szwarc and released in North America on November 27, 1985, by TriStar Pictures. The 2005 DVD release was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment, under license from the film's current owner, StudioCanal; the 25th Anniversary home video release (which also now includes Blu-ray) was by Lionsgate Home Entertainment, again under StudioCanal's license.

Song Lyrics:
All my life
I tried to do what's right
First star I see tonight
Make my wish come true
Why can't we?
Join hands around one tree
Let live and let it be
Make Christmas last forever
When Santa's flying
In his magic sleigh
Goes all around the world
In just a day
From the North Pole
To the southern tip
He makes his trip
With love to give away
Here him say:
"It's Christmas all over the world tonight
It's Christmas all over the world"
All my life
I learned if I was good
Did everything I should?
My dreams would all come true
I can see
A special time when we
Join hands around one tree
And make Christmas last forever
When Santa's flying
In his magic sleigh
Goes all around the world
In just a day
From the North Pole
To the southern tip
He makes his trip
With love to give away
Here him say:
"It's Christmas all over the world tonight
It's Christmas all over the world"
It's Christmas all over the world tonight
It's Christmas all over the world
Christmas all over the world tonight
Christmas all over the world.
