CFGAmG Comes the time for Christmas, and I really have to ask AmFGC If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last CFGAmG I wish your one-horse open sleigh, would come and carry me away AmFGC But I've been waiting here all day, and one just hasn’t come my way CFGAmG Now excuse me if I’m not being reverent, but I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me AmFGC Save me from my righteous doubt, as I watch helpless, and everybody sings CFGAmGAm If it's Chanukah or Kwanza, Solstice Harvest or December twenty fifth AmFGC Peace on Earth to everyone, and abundance to everyone your with
CHORUS: CFGAmGAmFGBbCCBbBbCC La Laaaa La La La La… Laaaaaa
CFGAmG Comes the time for Christmas, and as you raise your Yuletide flask AmFGC There’s like this feeling that you carry, as if from every Christmas past CFGAmG It’s as if each year it grows, it’s like you feel it in your toes AmFGC And on and on your carol goes, harvesting love among your woes CFGAmG I want to buy into the benevolence, and I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me AmFGC Make me know what it’s about, as the longing in me, makes me want to sing CFGAmGAm Noel or Navidad, season celebration or just the end of the year AmFGC Christmas can mean anything, and I mean to keep its hope forever near
REPEAT CHORUS
AmAmGGAmAmCC As if a cold and frozen soul was warmed, to love, by love’s own hand AmAmGGFFG So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
CFGCG At twenty below the winter storm it billows, but the fire is so warm inside AmFGC And the children while nestled in their pillows, dream of St. Nicholas’ ride CFGCG And how the next day they’ll get up and they will play, in the still falling Christmas snow AmFGCG And together we’ll celebrate forever, in defiance of the winds that blow CFGC My God in Heaven, now I feel like I’m seven, and the Spirit calls to me as well AmFGC As if Christmas, had made the winter warmer, made a paradise from what was Hell
AmAmGGAmAmCC As if a cold and frozen soul is warmed, to love, by love’s own hand AmAmGGFFG So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
