Comes the 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 was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

Save me from my righteous doubt

 as I watch helpless, and everybody sings

 If it's Chanukah or Kwanza

Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth

Peace on earth to everyone

 And abundance to everyone you're with

La ha 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

Comes the 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 goes

 Harvesting love among your woes

 I want to buy into the benevolent

 And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

Make me know what it's about

 As the longing in me makes me want to sing

Noel or Navidad

Season celebration or just the end of the year

Christmas can mean anything

 And I mean to keep its hope forever near

Repeat la's....

 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 twenty 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 the 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.......
