I'm so busy this December
There are places I should be
And you across town in your motel room
I'm not ready for the questions
I'm not the daughter that
I'm not ready for the presents
And all the singing round the tree
Hark the herald angels singing
Angels we have heard on high
Take the kiss that they are bringing,
kiss another year goodbye.
Merry Christmas, newborn baby.
Merry Christmas, Grandma Jones.
Give away what you are saving,
And you will never be alone
The sky is grey, the night comes early
I'm heading for my brother's place
His baby greets me, smiling curly
I kiss her rosy little face
They give me fear not for behold to read
A glass of wine their daughter played
Tonight that's everything I need
Mark the herald angels singing
Angels we have heard on high
Take the gifts that they are bringing,
kiss another year goodbye.
Merry Christmas, newborn baby.
Merry Christmas, Grandma Jones.
Don't give away what you're seeing
And you will never be alone
I'm driving home and it starts snowing
I am a carol to the night
Unfolding slowly towards the light
And there's a light on in my window
Did I leave it on or have you come home?
Either way there is a light on
Like the herald angels singing
Angels we have heard on high
Take the gifts that they are bringing
Here's another year goodbye
Merry Christmas, newborn baby
Merry Christmas, Grandma Jones
Give away what you are saving
An d you will never be alone
Give away what you are saving
An d you will never be alone
