[Verse 1] I heard the sidewalk Santa say Merry Christmas, merry Christmas Salvation's coming cheap today Merry Christmas, merry Christmas [Verse 2] I searched the skyline for a star Merry Christmas, merry Christmas And, baby, I wondered where you are Merry Christmas, merry Christmas [Verse 3] 'Cause comfort's not possible when You look past the joy to the end [Chorus] Calling on Mary is voluntary Unless you're alone like me If there's a star above, then it can look like love When they light up the Christmas tree [Verse 4] When I was young, I couldn't see Merry Christmas, merry Christmas All that my true love gave to me Merry Christmas, merry Christmas [Verse 5] She offered sight to the blind But I'm not the miracle kind [Chorus] [Verse 6] And to all the lost souls down below Merry Christmas, merry Christmas What's one more drifter in the snow? Merry Christmas, merry Christmas Merry Christmas, merry Christmas [Verse 7] If there's a star above, then it can look like love When they light up the Christmas tree If there's a star above, then it can look like love When they light up the Christmas tree
