Parte 1
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
Parte 1
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Parte 1
But instead it just kept on raining
Parte 1
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
Parte 2
I remember one Christmas morning
Parte 2
A winters light and a distant choir
Parte 3
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
Parte 3
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas

And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
Parte 3
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
Parte 3
And I saw him and through his disguise
