I first met her in December |
|
on a snowy winter's night |
|
And it didn't take me long to see |
|
that something wasn't right |
|
They called her Christmas Carol |
|
Said her mind was nearly gone |
|
But she could still light up the room |
|
When she sang a Christmas song |
|
Seems no one knows the story |
|
to explain her Christmas cheer |
|
Why she keeps the decorations up |
|
all through the year |
|
And though she long ago |
|
forgot the names of family and friends |
|
When it comes |
|
to singing Christmas songs |
|
She's like a child again |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing with all of your might |
|
Sing Joy to the World |
|
Sing O Holy Night |
|
You're closer now to Jesus |
|
Than you've ever been |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing your songs to him |
|
I had told my son about her, |
|
so I thought I'd take him by |
|
And he was so amazed at all |
|
the tinsel and the lights |
|
She laughed and told her stories |
|
of her Christmas memories |
|
But nothing told it better than |
|
when she began to sing |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing with all of your might |
|
Sing Joy to the World |
|
Sing O Holy Night |
|
You're closer now to Jesus |
|
Than you've ever been |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing your songs to him |
|
The last time that I saw her, |
|
she didn't recognize me |
|
Her hair was thin and she was frail, |
|
and she couldn't even speak |
|
But I could sit down next to her, |
|
sing her favorite Christmas songs |
|
And somehow, God only knows how |
|
She could still sing right along |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing with all of your might |
|
Sing Joy to the World |
|
Sing O Holy Night |
|
You're closer now to Jesus |
|
Than you've ever been |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing your songs to him |
|
Sing with all of your might |
|
Sing Joy to the World |
|
Sing O Holy Night |
|
You're closer now to Jesus |
|
Than you've ever been |
|
Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
to Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol |
|
Sing your songs to him |
