Norah Jones

Released: November 29, 2017

Songwriter: Sarah Oda

I won't believe it's Christmas
Till you make it home to me
The snow isn't white, the stars aren't bright
And lights don't belong on the tree

I will stay up all night waiting
For you on Christmas Eve
The sleigh bells won't ring
Bing Crosby won't sing
It's not Christmas till you come home

I won't believe it's Christmas
Till you walk through that door
There's no Tiny Tim and Santa is slim
And mistletoe's hung on the floor

I made a promise to you
To wait for your return
The snowflakes won't fall
We can't deck the halls
It's not Christmas till you come home

The snowflakes won't fall
We can't deck the halls
It's not Christmas till you come home

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
