[00:15.66]Thanksgiving
[00:16.59]DayThis town puts up its old display
[00:20.76]Streetlights hung with candy canes and bows
[00:27.84]The earlier it gets each year
[00:30.81]The scarcer is my
[00:32.67]Christmas cheer
[00:34.32]I guess I just like taking these things slow
[00:41.43]I really don't remember much
[00:44.34]Of Christmases growing up
[00:48.18]Except the year the
[00:49.65]Beatles came to play
[00:53.97]On my record player that came from
[00:57.03]SearsThat white album filled my ears
[01:03.78]In 1968 on
[01:04.23]Christmas
[01:04.98]DayI haven't been to church
[01:10.65]Since God knows when
[01:14.82]I'm not someone who usually attends
[01:17.40]Truth be told there's just two wishes
[01:25.11]On my list every
[01:27.30]ChristmasPeace on earth and a snow storm now and then
[01:32.46]Now I pray that peace comes in our time
[01:48.99]It's hard enough to keep from crying
[01:52.44]When every bit of news just breaks your heart
[01:58.71]The same old stories, same old songs
[02:02.52]We dust them off when
[02:03.87]Christmas comes
[02:05.37]For one day we just try to do our part
[02:12.72]And around here winter seems to come
[02:16.08]With rain and mud and bits of sun
[02:19.47]It's not exactly
[02:20.82]Currier and
[02:25.77]IvesI don't mind cold if it brings snow
[02:29.25]Alberta Clippers come and go
[02:32.73]But a dusting would make everything alright
[02:39.66]Perhaps a
[02:40.47]Christmas
[02:41.22]Eve from long ago
[02:46.08]Delivered
[02:46.98]Christmas
[02:47.70]DayWith knee high snow
[02:52.74]It's something lost but not forgotten
[02:56.34]Like candy hidden in a stocking
[02:59.61]That makes me every year wish it were so
[03:30.39]Because Christmas is for children's joy
[03:33.72]For every single girl and boy
[03:37.35]That's the truth we come to understand
[03:43.50]But the memories that don't let go
[03:46.23]Like Beatles songs and falling snow
[03:50.70]Can make us feel innocent again
[03:57.03]And maybe next year we won't go insane
[04:03.09]When they rush to hang the bows
[04:06.51]And candy canes
[04:10.05]Because peace will shine in me and you
[04:13.74]From Bethlehem to
[04:18.12]TimbuktuEven if the forecast is for rain
[04:24.00]Because peace will shine in me and you
[04:27.33]From Bethlehem to

The week before
Thanksgiving
DayThis town puts up its old display
Streetlights hung with candy canes and bows
The earlier it gets each year
The scarcer is my
Christmas cheer
I guess I just like taking these things slow
I really don't remember much
Of Christmases growing up
Except the year the
Beatles came to play
On my record player that came from
SearsThat white album filled my ears
In 1968 on
Christmas
DayI haven't been to church
Since God knows when
I'm not someone who usually attends
Truth be told there's just two wishes
On my list every

Now I pray that peace comes in our time
It's hard enough to keep from crying
When every bit of news just breaks your heart
The same old stories, same old songs
