Comes the time for Christmas, and I really have to ask
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
I wish your one-horse open sleigh, would come and carry me away
But I've been waiting here all day, and one just hasnt come my way
Now excuse me if Im 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 your with
La Laaaa La La La La
Laaaaaa
Comes the time for Christmas, and as you raise your Yuletide flask
Theres like this feeling that you carry, as if from every Christmas past
Its as if each year it grows, its 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 benevolence, and I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Make me know what its 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 CHORUS
As if a cold and frozen soul was warmed, to love, by loves own hand
So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
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 ride
And how the next day theyll get up and they will play, in the still falling Christmas snow
And together well celebrate forever, in defiance of the winds that blow
My God in Heaven, now I feel like Im 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 warmed, to love, by loves own hand
So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
Mixed Verses
Comes a time for Christmas, and I can not help but ask
Twenty below, the winter storm it billows, but the fire is so warm inside
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
The children while nestled in their pillows, dream of St. Nicholas ride
I wish your one-horse open sleigh, would come carry me away
Comes a time for Christmas, and I can not help but ask
But I've been waiting here all day, and one just hasnt come my way
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
Its as if each year it grows, its like you feel it in your toes
Comes a time for Christmas, and I can not help but ask
Now excuse me if Im not being reverent, but I was hoping for a miracle
My God in Heaven, now I feel like Im seven
And on and on your carol grows, harvesting love among your woes
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
Save me from my righteous doubt, as I watch helpless
Oh Chanukah Oh Kwanza, Solstice Harvest or December twenty fifth
Comes a time for Christmas, and I can not help but ask
I wish your one-horse open sleigh, would come carry me away
La Laaaa La La La La, La La La La La La La La, La La
Peace on Earth to everyone, and abundance to everyone your with
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
But I've been waiting here all day, and one just hasnt come my way
