Fading Joy and Surprise Fading joy and surprise At the gifts we despise Of a mild one With you On the twenty-fifth day Of the twelfth month The sleigh bells are on time Ringing true How we cling each other To that snowflake-smoking hill But it won't end Till it prevails in Christmas blue Just let them ring in Christmas Well, the weather is cruel And the season of you warms the heart But it still hurts You've got your career You've spent the best part of last year apart And it still hurts So that's why I'm praying Each and every Christmas day But it won't end Till it prevails in Christmas blue Just let them ring in Christmas There's a new leaf A mistletoe leaf And you're not here You went away Upon Boxing Day Now how the hell am I gonna Make it into the new year? Christmas time Till it prevails in Christmas time Till it prevails in Christmas time Till it prevails in Christmas time Just let them ring in Christmas Come on, kids! Till it prevails in Christmas time © transcript Emily Beynon
