AMY GRANT & VINCE GILL — “’TIL THE SEASON COMES ’ROUND AGAIN”: A TIMELESS HOLIDAY DUET FILLED WITH LOVE, FAITH, AND HOPE
When Amy Grant and Vince Gill come together in song, something magical happens — a harmony that feels both deeply human and quietly divine. Nowhere is that connection more beautifully captured than in their beloved holiday duet, “’Til The Season Comes ’Round Again.”
Originally recorded by Amy for her 1992 album Home for Christmas, the song has become a treasured classic — a heartfelt reflection on love, faith, and the bittersweet beauty of time passing. When performed alongside her husband, country legend Vince Gill, the piece takes on an even deeper emotional resonance — transforming from a Christmas ballad into an intimate expression of togetherness, gratitude, and enduring love.
With Vince’s warm tenor and Amy’s angelic tone intertwining so naturally, their voices create a quiet reverence that seems to pause time. The lyrics — “May you find what you’ve been dreaming of / And may the good Lord bless and keep you / ’Til the season comes ’round again” — carry a gentle blessing that transcends the season itself. It’s not just a Christmas wish; it’s a promise of hope and reunion.
The song has become a staple in the couple’s holiday performances, most notably during their annual “Christmas at the Ryman” concerts in Nashville. Every December, as the lights dim and the first soft notes play, the audience falls silent — knowing they’re about to witness one of the most tender moments in live music. The performance often closes their show, serving as both a farewell and a benediction.
Standing together on stage — Amy in her understated elegance, Vince with his ever-present guitar — they deliver the song with a sincerity that reminds audiences why their partnership, both musical and personal, has endured for decades. There’s no grand gesture, no theatrics — just two voices and one message: love lasts, faith endures, and kindness is never wasted.
In interviews, Amy has described the song as “a prayer set to music,” while Vince has called it “one of those songs that finds you where you are — whether you’re missing someone, starting over, or just grateful to still be here.”
Over the years, their rendition has comforted countless listeners, particularly those facing loss or separation during the holidays. It speaks to the quiet truth that not every Christmas is bright, but every season can still hold light.
The magic of “’Til The Season Comes ’Round Again” lies in its simplicity — a soft piano, a steady guitar, and voices full of lived experience. Both Amy and Vince sing not as stars, but as storytellers, offering warmth to anyone who needs it.
And perhaps that’s why this song endures — because it captures what Christmas truly means beyond the decorations and festivities. It’s about connection, remembrance, and the hope that love will bring us all back together again, no matter how far apart we may drift.
As the final notes fade, Amy and Vince often exchange a knowing smile — one that says everything the lyrics leave unsaid. It’s the look of two artists who understand that music, like love, is most powerful when it’s given freely.
More than three decades after its release, “’Til The Season Comes ’Round Again” remains one of the most poignant holiday duets ever recorded — a song that feels like a warm embrace from the heart of Nashville.
And every time Amy Grant and Vince Gill sing it together, it’s as though the season — and the love it represents — truly comes ’round again.
