Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Works, Vol. 2

I Believe in Father Christmas (Without Orchestra)

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's 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
'Til I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Til 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'd be snow at Christmas
They said there'd be peace on Earth
Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get, we deserve
