Blues Traveler - Christmas Lyrics
Words by j. popper music by t. anastasio and j. popper comes the time for christmasAnd I really have to askIf this is feeling merryHow much longer must it lastI wish a one horse open sleighWould come carry me awayBut Ive been waiting here all dayAnd one just hasnt come my wayNow excuse me if Im not being reverentBut I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash meSave me from my righteous doubt as I watch helplessAnd everybody singsIf its chanukah or kwanzaSolstice, harvest or december twenty-fifthPeace on earth to everyoneAnd abundance to everyone youre withLaha da da da da daDa da da da da da da da da da daLa da da da da da da daLa da da da da da da da daLaha da da da daLaha da da da daComes the time for christmasAnd as you raise your yuletide flaskTheres like this feeling that you carryAs if from every christmas pastIts as if each year it growsIts like you feel it in your toesAnd on and on your carol goesHarvesting love among your woesI want to buy into the benevolentAnd I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash meMake me know what its aboutAs the longing in me makes me want to singNoel or navidadSeason celebration or just the end of the yearChristmas can mean anythingAnd I mean to keep its hope forever nearLaha da da da da daDa da da da da da da da da da daLa da da da da da da da daLa da da da da da da da da daLaha da da da daLaha da da da daAs if a cold and frozen soul is warm to loveBy loves own handSo goes the prayer if for a day peace on earthAnd good will to manAt twenty below the winter storm it billowsBut the fire is so warm insideAnd the children while nestled in their pillowsDream of st. nicholass rideAnd how the next day theyll get up and they will playIn the still falling christmas snowAnd together well celebrate foreverIn defiance of the winds that blowMy God in heaven now I feel like Im sevenAnd spirit calls to me as wellAs if christmas had made the winter warmerMade a paradise from what was hellAs if a cold and frozen soul is warm to loveBy loves own handSo goes the prayer if for a day peace on earthAnd good will to man.......I wish a one horse open sleigh would come carry me awayAnd Ill keep waiting through next mayUntil christmas comes my way
