So the day has now come, at last it’s here
Come and fill your glass, be full of cheer
The lights are twinkling bright, on the tree
Below are presents and they’re not all for me
We’ve eaten lots and have drunk too much
Now watching a rerun of Starskey & Hutch!
Then asleep I shall fall, in my old armchair
Happy and content, but rather worse for wear
Past the tinsel and glitter, I hope we can look
To the special occasion told in an old book
A child sent to save us, by a redeeming grace
Lets me think of the future, I smile on my face
So as we spend our time with loved ones and plenty
Spare a thought for others whose plate may be empty
For the many who may be lonely, frightened or lost
For the old man wrapped up on the bench in the frost
Remember that life is not all about what we own
But the strength of our soul wherever we roam
So next time you smile, let it start from your heart
From your loved ones and family may you never part
