Candles burning out at both ends
I don’t miss the crowds just my friends
Seems like everybody needs a little bit of cheer
Christmas won’t you please come early this year

I don’t need the snow
I’m already cold
Tired of the songs
On the radio
I can’t hear the harmony or see the midnight clear
Christmas won’t you please come early this year
Christmas won’t you please come early this year

Running out of faith
Need a little help
I could use a break
From myself
Bells are in the distance but they’re getting hard to hear
Christmas won’t you please come early this year

I need something to believe in
I need something to believe in
I need something to believe in
Something to believe in

Just a little peace for my family
Joy that fills the streets like a remedy
For everyone around the world who needs a little cheer
Christmas won’t you please come early this year
Christmas won’t you please come early, come early this year
