Emerson Lake And Palmer I Believe In Father Christmas Lyrics

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 birth 
I remember one Christmas morning 
A winters light and a distant choir 
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell 
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire 

They sold me a dream of Christmas 
They sold me a Silent Night 
And they told me a fairy story 
`Till I believed in the Israelite 
And I believed in Father Christmas 
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 
`Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn 
And I saw him and through his disguise 

I 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 clear 
They said there`ll be snow at Christmas 
They said there`ll be peace on Earth 
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell 
The Christmas you get you deserve
