Christmas Lyrics

There comes a time for Christmas
And I really have to ask
If this is feeling merry
How much longer must it last

I wish a one horse open sleigh
Would come carry me away
But I’ve been waiting here all day
And one just hasn’t come my way

Now excuse me if I’m not being reverent
But I’ve was hoping for a miracle to hold me watch me
Save me from a righteous doubt as I watch helpless
And everybody sings
If it’s Hanukah or Kwanza
Solstice, Harvest, or December 25th
Peace on Earth to everyone
And abundance to everyone you’re with

Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
There comes a time for Christmas
And as you raise your yuletide flask
There’s like this feeling that you carry
As if from every Christmas past
It’s as if each year it grows
It’s like you feel it in your toes
And on and on your carol grows
Harvesting love among your woes
I wanna buy into the benevolence
And I’ve was hoping for a miracle to hold me watch me
Make me know what its’ about
As the longing in me makes me wanna sing:
“Noel!” Or “Navidad!”
“Seasons Celebrations!”
Or just, “The end of the year!”
Christmas can mean anything
And I mean to keep its hope forever near

Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da

As if a cold and frozen soul
Is warm to love by loves own hand
So goes the prayer, If for a day
“Peace on earth, And good will to man.”
At 20 below the winter storm it billows
But the fire is so warm inside
And the children while nestled in their pillows
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play
In the still falling Christmas snow
And together we'll celebrate forever
In defiance of the winds that blow
My god in heaven; now i feel like I’m seven
And spirit calls to me as well
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer
Made a paradise from what was hell
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer, if for a day
“Peace on earth, And good will to man…”
I wish a one horse open sleigh
Would come carry me away
And I'll keep waiting through next May
Until Christmas comes my way
