I Believe in Father Christmas Lyrics

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead, it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birthAnd I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell
And that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fireThey sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the IsraeliteAnd I believed in father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn
In the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguiseI wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clearThey said there'll be snow at Christmas

They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel, be in Heaven or hell
The Christmas you get, you deserve
