Текст песни I Believe In Father Christmas - John Holt

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 Birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter light's of a distant choir
The peal of the bell
And the Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire

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

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a great 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 Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve

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 Birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter light's of a distant choir
The peal of the bell
And the Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire
