So long, trying to do my best for so long Living in a world that I don't recognise What a time to be alive Outside, the nights are getting colder Outside, trying to find someone to hold you Out there in the snow As the city starts to glow I apologise for getting sentimental I'm only trying to be sincere I guess there's nothing much left to say Merry Christmas what a hell of a year Merry Christmas what a hell of a year Our time, we're so terrified of wasting our time But I'm thankful for the chance to waste mine It's a gift Nothing else there, on my list So hold on, something's got to change And I hear, something kind of strange Sleigh bells, in the air Magic, everywhere And I apologise for getting sentimental I'm only trying to be sincere I guess there's nothing much left to say Merry Christmas what a hell of a year Merry Christmas what a hell of a year Stranger things have happened now I wouldn't rule a reindeer out So long, trying to do my best for so long Living in a world that I don't recognise What a time to be alive

Can you feel it, in the air? Choirs singing, everhwhere Could it be Christmastime? All the lights begin to shine All the presents, all the wine Could it be Christmastime? Some people celebrate, some people don't And that's okay, each to their own I think this year I've got something to say I just hope everybody is okay All the trees in the windows Wearing boots and your big coat Oh could it be Christmastime? Call your family, call your friends It's been a bad year, soon to end Oh could it be Christmastime Some people want to talk, some people don't Some people just want to be on their own This year's no pressure, just do what you feel If you want to do nothing, it's no big deal A little more kindness, a little more joy A little too much sugar for each girl & boy Oh could it be Christmastime I'm not sure I believe in a god up above So why is my heart, so filled with love? Oh could it be Christmastime

What if nobody ever found Jesus? What if there was no star in the sky? What if Mary told Joseph her secret? And Joseph went out of his mind? What if Gabriel just couldn't make it? And God couldn't handle the guilt? What if the three wise men were three wise women? Imagine what we could've built

It didn't happen in a flash of pain Nobody drowning in the driving rain In the end it was so beautiful and slow Everybody dancing in the snow I watched the chaos as it slowly unfurled Christmas at the end of the world Everyone smiling every boy every girl Christmas at the end of the world Christmas at the end of the world Nothing mattered and nobody cried Peace and goodwill to all mankind No possessions and no jealousy Only joy and possibility Everyone scattered like a string of pearls Christmas at the end of the world Singing carols as the madness swirls Christmas at the end of the world Christmas at the end of the world Christmas at the end of the world

The story of Rudolph, well known I suppose But his friends only liked him because of his nose Well I'm here to tell you, wherever you are You don't need something special, to set you apart They all should have loved him, in spite of his flaws They all could have done better, even Mrs Claus We all have a light, that's shining inside You can't always see it, but that's alright
6.
Santa Claus, you had a good run Santa Claus, nothing you could've done We're downsizing, digitizing The elves are even unionizing Santa Claus, went out of business today Santa Claus, times are changing Santa Claus, we're re-arranging Your service is appreciated But these times are unprecedented Santa Claus, went out of business today Suspended on full pay, you can even keep the sleigh Just sign this NDA Santa Claus, we really hope that Santa Claus, you really know that We just want what is best for the kids Wooden toys are bad for business Santa Claus, get on your merry way Ho, ho, ho, oh yay Ho, ho, ho, oh yay Ho, ho, ho, oh yay

Baby, things will get better I know As the morning sun melts the snow I can feel it right in my bones Maybe, love is really all we need And I'm thankful that you're loving me You're the tide and I am the sea I'm not saying that I've figured it out But I feel a little lighter somehow On this early Christmas morning now On this early Christmas morning now On this early Christmas morning now On this early Christmas morning now
8.
Noel, noel, go ring the bell I see snow on the leaves Children rejoice, raise up your voice I see snow on the leaves Lining the streets of our town Angels lay in the park Every road you walk down Glistening in the dark Noel, noel, go ring the bell I see snow on the leaves Silent it falls, no sound at all I see snow on the leaves Awaken into a new day Nose pressed up to the glass A joy you can barely contain You pray it won't leave too fast Snow on the leaves Snow on the leaves Snow on the leaves Snow on the leaves
