Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas May your every New Year dream come true Sweet December song The melody that saved me On those less than Silent Nights When snow would fall upon my bed Like sugar from Jesus And take me to the day She could always smile The Virgin Child would always show you see Just to save me (just to save me) There was always Christmas time To wipe the year away I guess that Mum and Dad decided That the war would have to wait There was always Christmas time Jesus came to stay I could believe in peace on Earth And I could watch TV all day So I dreamed of Christmas Maybe since you've gone I went a little crazy God knows they can see the child But the snow that falls upon my bed That loving I needed Falls every single day For each and every child The Virgin smiles for all to see But you kept her from me There was always Christmas time To wipe the year away I guess that Mum and Dad decided That the war would have to wait There was always Christmas time Jesus came to stay I could believe in peace on Earth And I could watch TV all day So I dreamed of Christmas Yes, I dreamed like you Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas May your every New Year dream come true
