Christmas Don't Let Me Down (Single Version)

Bring out all of the old decorations
Some of them older than us
To my new neighbours I say salutations
Come shelter in here from the dust

Take your cellphone off of the table
And look your father straight in the eye
Could this stranger become an angel?
Could the winter brighten your sky?

Somebody, hold out their hand
Will somebody count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And Christmas
Don't let me down

Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters
And all the children lie awake in their beds
But can ya fill up the houses with laughter?
Shall we dance and honour our dead?

Somebody, hold out their hand
Will somebody count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And Christmas
Don't let me down

Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us
Should we go gentle into that cold cold night
Now I know you can't grant my wishes
But I pray for the world to be kind

Now hold out your hand (hold out your hand)
Will somebody count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And Christmas
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
