Christmas Carol - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]

The week before Thanksgiving Day[00:00:14]

This town puts up its old display[00:00:17]

Streetlights hung with candy canes and bows[00:00:21]

The earlier it gets each year[00:00:28]

The scarcer is my Christmas cheer[00:00:31]

I guess I just like taking these things slow[00:00:34]

I really don't remember much[00:00:41]

Of Christmases growing up[00:00:44]

Except the year the Beatles came to play[00:00:48]

On my record player that came from Sears[00:00:54]

That white album filled my ears[00:00:58]

In 1968 on Christmas Day[00:01:01]

I haven't been to church[00:01:08]

Since God knows when[00:01:10]

I'm not someone who usually attends[00:01:15]

Truth be told there's just two wishes[00:01:22]

On my list every Christmas[00:01:25]

Peace on earth and a snow storm now and then[00:01:28]

Now I pray that peace comes in our time[00:01:45]

It's hard enough to keep from crying[00:01:49]

When every bit of news just breaks your heart[00:01:52]

The same old stories same old songs[00:01:59]

We dust them off when Christmas comes[00:02:02]

For one day we just try to do our part[00:02:05]

And around here winter seems to come[00:02:12]

With rain and mud and bits of sun[00:02:16]

It's not exactly Currier and Ives[00:02:19]

I don't mind cold if it brings snow[00:02:26]

Alberta Clippers come and go[00:02:29]

But a dusting would make everything alright[00:02:32]

Perhaps a Christmas Eve from long ago[00:02:40]

Delivered Christmas Day[00:02:46]

With knee high snow[00:02:49]

It's something lost but not forgotten[00:02:52]

Like candy hidden in a stocking[00:02:56]

That makes me every year wish it were so[00:02:59]

Because Christmas is for children's joy[00:03:30]

For every single girl and boy[00:03:34]

That's the truth we come to understand[00:03:37]

But the memories that don't let go[00:03:43]

Like Beatles songs and falling snow[00:03:47]

Can make us feel innocent again[00:03:51]

And maybe next year we won't go insane[00:03:57]

When they rush to hang the bows[00:04:03]

And candy canes[00:04:06]

Because peace will shine in me and you[00:04:10]

From Bethlehem to Timbuktu[00:04:14]

Even if the forecast is for rain[00:04:18]

Because peace will shine in me and you[00:04:24]

From Bethlehem to Timbuktu[00:04:27]

Even if the forecast is for rain[00:04:31]
