Emerson, Lake & Palmer - I Believe in Father Christmas lyrics

rate me

They said there'll be snow at christmas<br /> They said there'll be peace on earth<br /> But instead it just kept on raining<br /> A veil of tears for the virgin's birth<br /> I remember one christmas morning<br /> A winters light and a distant choir<br /> And the peal of a bell and that christmas tree smell<br /> And their eyes full of tinsel and fire<br /> <br /> They sold me a dream of christmas<br /> They sold me a silent night<br /> And they told me a fairy story<br /> 'till I believed in the israelite<br /> And I believed in father christmas<br /> And I looked at the sky with excited eyes<br /> 'till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn<br /> And I saw him and through his disguise<br /> <br /> I wish you a hopeful christmas<br /> I wish you a brave new year<br /> All anguish pain and sadness<br /> Leave your heart and let your road be clear<br /> They said there'll be snow at christmas<br /> They said there'll be peace on earth<br /> Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell<br /> The christmas you get you deserve<br /><br />
