Christmasˇ¦ what a wonderful time of year
|
But it can also be a dark and lonely time
|
And if you don't spend it with those you truly love
|
Well it can feel just like any other day
|
So this is a prayer for the lonely
|
Especially those children all around the world
|
Whose hearts have been torn apart this year
|
|
Chorus:
|
So pardon my tears things are different this year
|
There's a cry I can't ignore
|
I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish
|
I'm praying this Christmas prayer
|
That wherever you are may the bright morning star
|
Lead you to someone who cares
|
|
Well, Jimmy Stewart's on my screen again
|
Man I miss those simple black and white days
|
Then someone hits the remote and I see the sad dark eyes
|
Of a young girl on the other side of the world
|
And I think about the things she's had to see
|
Things my children can't even imagine
|
|
Chorus:
|
So pardon my tears things are different this year
|
There's a cry I can't ignore
|
I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish
|
I'm praying this Christmas prayer
|
That whoever you are know that God's shining star
|
Leads you to someone who cares
|
|
Tag:
|
So whoever you are know that God's shining star
|
Always leads you to someone who cares
