Where Are You, Christmas?

"Christmas, Why Can't I Find You?" is a song co-written by James Horner and Will Jennings for the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000. In the movie, it is first sung by Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Lou Who.

A longer and different version of this song, called "Where Are You, Christmas?", was co-written by Mariah Carey, James Horner and Will Jennings. The song was originally recorded by Carey, but because of a legal case with her ex-husband Tommy Mottola, it could not be released, so it was re-recorded and released by Faith Hill. A video was released featuring Hill singing from the Grinch's mountaintop home, interspersed with clips from the film and a cameo appearance by Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who.

Cindy Lou Who Version
Where are you christmas why can't I find you why have you gone away

My world is changing I'm rerranging does that means christmas changes too

where are you christmas do you remember the girl you used to know

even I were so carflie and nothing easy did christmas change or just me

Faith Hill Version
Where are you Christmas Why can't I find you Why have you gone away Where is the laughter You used to bring me Why can't I hear music play

My world is changing I'm rearranging Does that mean Christmas changes too

Where are you Christmas Do you remember The one you used to know I'm not the same one See what the time's done Is that why you have let me go

Christmas is here Everywhere, oh Christmas is here If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind You will feel like Christmas all the time

I feel you Christmas I know I've found you You never fade away The joy of Christmas Stays here inside us Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas Fill your heart with love
