[00:21.100]They said there'll be snow at Christmas
[00:25.100]They said there'll be peace on Earth
[00:29.300]But instead it just kept on raining
[00:33.300]A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
[00:37.600]I remember one Christmas morning
[00:41.400]A winter's light and a distant choir
[00:45.400]And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree's smell
[00:49.600]And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
[01:14.500]They sold me a dream of Christmas
[01:18.500]They sold me a Silent Night
[01:22.500]They told me a fairy story
[01:26.700]'Till I believed in the Israelite
[01:31.000]And I believed in Father Christmas
[01:34.600]I looked to the sky with excited eyes
[01:38.700]'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
[01:42.900]And I saw him and through his disguise
[02:08.100]I wish you a hopeful Christmas
[02:12.200]I wish you a brave New Year
[02:16.500]All anguish pain and sadness
[02:20.300]Leave your heart and let your road be clear
[02:24.900]They said there'll be snow at Christmas
[02:28.800]They said there'll be peace on Earth
[02:32.100]Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
[02:36.700]The Christmas we get we deserve
