Gingerbread Dreams

We've been running around this Christmas
I've been going a mile a minute
Tryna' make it through December
With the weight of the world that's fallen
Now children out in the snow are laughing
The halls of the choir are ringing
If I could tell you the honest truth

When the lights come on
Before the day is lost
Hear the bells love singing
Let your love shine bright
In someone else night

This is what I call gentle living
Got gingerbread dreams about the giving
It's the time of year
Best time of year
That time of year
For forgiving

So many people get lost and older
Their hearts torn apart and broken
Good people giving a cold shoulder
You could be looking to find them
Cause it really ain't that hard to love
See across the border and go above
Beyond old horizons
Desires inspiring
Don't you have enough?

When the lights come on
Before the day is lost
Hear the bells love singing
Let your love shine bright
In someone else night
Hear the bells love singing

This is what I call gentle living
Got gingerbread dreams about the giving
It's the time of year
Best time of year
That time of year
For forgiving

Give hope in your Christmas hallelujah my sweet child
You never know when someone needs a smile
And if you find yourself on a lonely winter mile
Remember tomorrow you'll be found

Oh this is what I call gentle living
Got gingerbread dreams about the giving
It's much more than past and present expectations
Good tidings bless better than any fancy decorations
It's the time of year
Best time of year
That time of year
For forgiving
The best time of year
For forgiving
