Standard (EADGBE)

 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 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 your with

Chorus

  La Laaaa La La La La

Laaaaaa

 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 benevolence, 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 CHORUS

 As if a cold and frozen soul was warmed, to love, by love’s 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 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 warmed, to love, by love’s own hand

 So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
