Melissa Etheridge - Christmas In America lyrics

rate me

I picked out a tree And I tied it to the car There's a wreath up on our door Eight tiny reindeer in the yard I drove under the downtown lights Red and green and blue The silver neon snowflakes Only made me think of you It's Christmas all around me You're in someone else's land So I'm sending out my only wish Hey Santa tell the man Hey mister send my baby home This December I don't want to be all alone Oh Christmas in America I need you in my arms Far away from harm Mister send my baby home I hear someone singing jingle bells No wait that deck the halls And the teenagers with candy canes Ramble through the malls The girls are down at Ruby's Trying to find some Christmas cheer There's not much to do but drink too much When everyday's unclear So here I am on Christmas eve This silent holy night And I reach up to the stars for you And I pray that you're alright What happened to the peace on earth All that goodwill toward men Oh come on all ye faithful It's time to think again
