THIRD CHRISTMAS Cut rate chorus singing carols Dickens ghost of Christmas past On that night a few Decembers ago when we met The tree's alive; we have survived to this Third Christmas Blue moons happen though they are rare I said a prayer; then you were there So our took bloom on frosty nights Then in warm environs where love was ice and nice folks Gathered all along the shore of River Jordan where love was more than Dreams of presents stacked around the tree and a Holiday CD and you and me on this Third Christmas It's a season of hope to take away the pain One man spoke the truth so we remember His name Born a child of poor parents in another time Dessert inn has no room; you camp out under the moon Or out in the stable ... baby born in the hay Woman's child on earth; the kings declare His worth on that first Christmas It's a season of hope to take away the pain One man spoke the truth so we remember His name Love is the star shining through the years Sun goes down and it appears Winking knowingly at all wise enough to see And shining through you to me Lord knows I'm happy to be with you this Christmas
