Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Spotlight on Christmas lyrics

People love the working man Who does the best that he can But don't forget all the horses and toys Never could fix the poor little rich boys People say they love the maid Who sweats and toils just like a slave But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls Never could fix the poor little rich girls You can measure it in blood You can measure it in myrrh Let us say for these twelve days Put the measuring away Cause it's Christmas And the spotlight's shining on Christmas And the spotlight's shining on us People love and people hate People go and people wait But, don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth And they were each one quite odd And mensch, a virgin, and a God But don't forget that what kept them afloat Floating through the desert doesnt take a boat no Don't forget that what kept them above Is unconditional love And, you can measure it in blood You can measure it in myrrh Let us say for these twelve days Put the measuring away Cause it's Christmas And the spotlight's shining on Christmas And the spotlight's shining on us And the spotlight's shining on Christmas And the spotlight's shining on People love the working man Who does the best that he can But, don't forget all the horses and toys Never could fix the poor little rich boys
