[00:22.143]They said there′ll be snow at Christmas
[00:27.110]They said there'll be peace on Earth
[00:31.745]But instead it just kept on raining
[00:36.462]A veil of tears for the Virgin′s birth
[00:41.900]I remember one Christmas morning
[00:45.518]A winter's light and a distant choir
[00:50.293]And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
[00:54.650]And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
[01:19.025]They sold me a dream of Christmas
[01:23.628]They sold me a Silent Night
[01:28.338]And they told me a fairy story
[01:32.512]'Til I believed in the Israelite

[01:50.204]And I saw him and through his disguise
[02:17.135]I wish you a hopeful Christmas
[02:21.683]I wish you a brave New Year

[02:30.555]Leave your heart and let your road be clear
[02:35.062]They said there′ll be snow at Christmas
[02:39.527]They said there'll be peace on Earth
[02:43.152]Hallelujah Noel be it heaven or hell
[02:47.625]The Christmas we get we deserve
[02:52.289]Ah ...
