Sarah Brightman - I Believe in Father Christmas |
|
They said there'll be snow at Christmas, |
|
They said there'll be peace on earth, |
|
But instead it just kept on raining, |
|
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth. |
|
I remember one Christmas morning, |
|
The Winter's light and a distant choir, |
|
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell, |
|
And eyes full of tinsel and fire. |
|
They sold me a dream of Christmas, |
|
They sold me a silent night, |
|
They told me a fairy story, |
|
'Til I believed in the Israelite. |
|
And I believed in Father Christmas, |
|
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes, |
|
Then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn, |
|
And I saw him and through his disguise. |
|
I wish you a hopeful Christmas, |
|
I wish you a brave New Year, |
|
All anguish, pain and sadness, |
|
Leave your heart and let your road be clear. |
|
They said there'd be snow at Christmas, |
|
They said there'd be peace on earth, |
|
Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell, |
|
The Christmas we get, we deserve. |
