Lyrics
At Christmas Time [We Do]
[2019-12-21]
[V]
Why only once a year
there's so many days?
Why can't that feeling last
when life gets in the way?
Why can't we get along,
change our narrow-minded views?
Get along all year long
at Christmas time, we do?
[Break]
[V]
When will we wake up,
open up our eyes?
See what we've been given,
hear the truth than the lies?
Will we stand arm in arm,
you with me and me with you?
Get along all year long
at Christmas time; we do
[C]
"Peace on earth." are not just words
to hear once a year.
Nor is wishing joy and laughter,
good times, and good cheer.
It's hard to keep that spirit burning
yet it's there in plain view.
Get along all year long
at Christmas time, we do.
[Break] Instrumental
[B]
one can make a difference,
two can start a chain
three can lead to four, then five
I know this is not in vain.
It starts with me. I understand,
know this to be true.
We can get along all year long
at Christmas time, we do.
[C]
"Peace on earth." are not just words
to hear once a year.
Nor is wishing joy and laughter,
good times, and good cheer.
It's hard to keep that spirit burning
yet it's there in plain view.
Get along all year long
at Christmas time, we do.

"This the season for giving; Merry Christmas to you."
