C F G Am G
Comes the time for Christmas, and I really have to ask
Am F G C
If this is feeling merry, how much longer must it last
C F G Am G
I wish your one-horse open sleigh, would come and carry me away
Am F G C
But I've been waiting here all day, and one just hasn�t come my way
C F G Am G
Now excuse me if I�m not being reverent, but I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Am F G C
Save me from my righteous doubt, as I watch helpless, and everybody sings
C F G Am G Am
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza, Solstice Harvest or December twenty fifth
Am F G C
Peace on Earth to everyone, and abundance to everyone your with
CHORUS: C F G Am G Am F G Bb C C Bb Bb C C
La Laaaa La La La La� Laaaaaa
C F G Am G
Comes the time for Christmas, and as you raise your Yuletide flask
Am F G C
There�s like this feeling that you carry, as if from every Christmas past
C F G Am G
It�s as if each year it grows, it�s like you feel it in your toes
Am F G C
And on and on your carol goes, harvesting love among your woes
C F G Am G
I want to buy into the benevolence, and I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Am F G C
Make me know what it�s about, as the longing in me, makes me want to sing
C F G Am G Am
Noel or Navidad, season celebration or just the end of the year
Am F G C
Christmas can mean anything, and I mean to keep its hope forever near
REPEAT CHORUS
Am Am G G Am Am C C
As if a cold and frozen soul was warmed, to love, by love�s own hand
Am Am G G F F G
So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
C F G C G
At twenty below the winter storm it billows, but the fire is so warm inside
Am F G C
And the children while nestled in their pillows, dream of St. Nicholas� ride
C F G C G
And how the next day they�ll get up and they will play, in the still falling Christmas snow
Am F G C G
And together we�ll celebrate forever, in defiance of the winds that blow
C F G C
My God in Heaven, now I feel like I�m seven, and the Spirit calls to me as well
Am F G C
As if Christmas, had made the winter warmer, made a paradise from what was Hell
Am Am G G Am Am C C
As if a cold and frozen soul is warmed, to love, by love�s own hand
Am Am G G F F G
So goes the prayer, if for a day peace on Earth, and good will to men
