Neil Diamond has been one of the most popular singers in the world ever since he entered the music scene in 1967, when he shot to fame for writing the Monkees’ huge hit “I’m a Believer.”

Over fifty years later, Neil is still as talented as ever, and he just showed this once again with his latest song “Christmas Prayers.”

Neil’s unique sound has made it so that he has fans of all ages, young and old alike! It’s safe to say that his new Christmas song has resonated with all of them in a big way.

“Christmas Prayers” is a powerful song that involves reminiscing about past holidays and our loved ones who are no longer with us.

“You’re in my Christmas prayers and in my Christmas dreams,” the lyrics read. “In every Christmas story told, in every song I sing. When I hear people laugh and I see children play reminds me of that photograph of us on Christmas day. I see you standing there smiling down on me as I untie the gifts that lie beneath our Christmas tree and every Christmas day.”

The emotional music video shows Neil performing alongside a piano with framed photos of his loved ones on it. The room is also full of beautiful Christmas decorations!

The lyrics continue:

“Grandma’s, Grandpa’s, Father’s, Mother’s, Friend’s I’ve loved dear Sister’s, Brother’s, Son’s and daughter’s, I once played with; Aunt’s and Uncle’s I once stayed with their story will be told. As long as love recalls those loved one’s smiling down on me. The greatest gift of all will be forever there. It’s Christmas up in Heaven, too, with love beyond compare.”

Neil’s song reminds us that our loved ones will always be with us, “in my Christmas prayers.”
