[00:00.00]Christmas Carol - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:14.64]The week before Thanksgiving Day
[00:17.82]This town puts up its old display
[00:21.43]Streetlights hung with candy canes and bows
[00:28.17]The earlier it gets each year
[00:31.25]The scarcer is my Christmas cheer
[00:34.55]I guess I just like taking these things slow
[00:41.82]I really don't remember much
[00:44.66]Of Christmases growing up
[00:48.45]Except the year the Beatles came to play
[00:54.18]On my record player that came from Sears
[00:58.10]That white album filled my ears
[01:01.77]In 1968 on Christmas Day
[01:08.79]I haven't been to church
[01:10.97]Since God knows when
[01:15.27]I'm not someone who usually attends
[01:22.45]Truth be told there's just two wishes
[01:25.42]On my list every Christmas
[01:28.69]Peace on earth and a snow storm now and then
[01:45.01]Now I pray that peace comes in our time
[01:49.41]It's hard enough to keep from crying
[01:52.66]When every bit of news just breaks your heart
[01:59.06]The same old stories same old songs
[02:02.50]We dust them off when Christmas comes
[02:05.97]For one day we just try to do our part
[02:12.94]And around here winter seems to come
[02:16.37]With rain and mud and bits of sun
[02:19.84]It's not exactly Currier and Ives
[02:26.13]I don't mind cold if it brings snow
[02:29.42]Alberta Clippers come and go
[02:32.90]But a dusting would make everything alright
[02:40.00]Perhaps a Christmas Eve from long ago
[02:46.48]Delivered Christmas Day
[02:49.00]With knee high snow
[02:52.94]It's something lost but not forgotten
[02:56.35]Like candy hidden in a stocking
[02:59.93]That makes me every year wish it were so
[03:30.90]Because Christmas is for children's joy
[03:34.05]For every single girl and boy
[03:37.51]That's the truth we come to understand
[03:43.59]But the memories that don't let go
[03:47.35]Like Beatles songs and falling snow
[03:51.00]Can make us feel innocent again
[03:57.30]And maybe next year we won't go insane
[04:03.37]When they rush to hang the bows
[04:06.78]And candy canes
[04:10.42]Because peace will shine in me and you
[04:14.04]From Bethlehem to Timbuktu
[04:18.25]Even if the forecast is for rain
[04:24.32]Because peace will shine in me and you
[04:27.47]From Bethlehem to Timbuktu
[04:31.03]Even if the forecast is for rain
