Bounce into December And let a little joy back into your life Maybe this time We can do things and do them right Find your holiday spirit And if you can't we've got plenty to go round I think this time We won't lose what we have found So have a merry Christmas And send some peace and love to each other You'll give what you'll receive So have a merry Christmas A chance to treat strangers like brothers A time to believe Footsteps on the rooftops And making magic reindeer tracks in the snow Maybe this time We can prove what we all know That it's not just about the presents Or getting time off school and work for a while It's that we're together With the ones who can make us smile So have a merry Christmas And send some peace and love to each other You'll receive what you give So have a merry Christmas A chance to treat strangers like brothers To find way to live

Only You 03:45
Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love Can you hear me Came back only yesterday I'm moving further away Want you near me All I needed was the love you gave All I needed for another day And all I ever knew Only you Sometimes when I think of her name When it's only a game And I need you Listen to the words that you say It's getting harder to stay When I see you All I needed was the love you gave All I needed for another day And all I ever knew Only you All I needed was the love you gave All I needed for another day And all I ever knew Only you This is going to take a long time And I wonder what's mine Can't take no more Wonder if you'll understand It's just the touch of your hand Behind a closed door All I needed was the love you gave All I needed for another day And all I ever knew Only you

And so The nights are drawing in Halfway out of the dark It's that time of year To be glad For the things we have The ones who we can hold To fill our hearts with cheer We'll drink some mulled wine and make time For some old reindeer games With snow ever falling the season Is calling our names Christmas is here I wanna have you near Now The frost is in the air Freezing all it touches It's only just the start So go Put on your winter coats The world is full of snowmen With hardened cold hearts If you are finding it hard on your own To feel festive Open your heart and remember just who You are blessed with Christmas is here We wanna have you near The gift that we bring All of our loving

We've come so far We've followed the star Herod heard Said "bring me word" Take the long way around the sea Here for us A humble birth The Son of God Descends to Earth Take the long way around the sea On Christmas day On bended knee Please accept The gifts we bring Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea We turn to go An angel shone Said, "don't go back To Herod's throne" Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea
