I Believe in Father Christmas

[00:21.28] They said there'll be snow at Christmas
[00:25.47] They said there'll be peace on earth
[00:29.52] But instead it just kept on raining
[00:33.33] A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
[00:37.52] I remember one Christmas morning
[00:41.71] A winter's light and a distant choir
[00:45.39] And the peal of a bell, and that Christmas tree smell
[00:49.51] And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
[00:53.61]
[01:12.93] They sold me a dream of Christmas
[01:17.27] They sold me a silent night
[01:20.85] And they told me a fairy story
[01:25.12] 'Til I believed in the Israelite
[01:29.22] And I believed in Father Christmas
[01:32.88] And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
[01:36.99] 'Til I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
[01:41.00] And I saw him, and through his disguise
[01:45.77]
[02:02.53] I wish you a hopeful Christmas
[02:06.56] I wish you a brave new year
[02:10.96] All anguish and pain and sadness
[02:15.09] Leave your heart and let your road be clear
[02:18.62] They said there'll be snow at Christmas
[02:23.18] They said there'll be peace on earth
[02:26.58] Hallelujah, noel, be it heaven or hell
[02:30.86] The Christmas you get you deserve
[02:34.93]
[02:41.83] They said there'll be snow at Christmas
[02:46.03] They said there'll be peace on earth
[02:51.54]
