I Believe In Father Christmas Lyrics - Greg Lake

They said there'll be snow at Christmas 

They said there'll be peace on Earth 

But instead it just kept on raining 

A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth 

I remember one Christmas morning 

A winters light and a distant choir 

And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell 

And their eyes full of tinsel and fire 

They sold me a dream of Christmas 

They sold me a Silent Night 

And they told me a fairy story 

'Till I believed in the Israelite 

And I believed in Father Christmas 

And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 

'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn 

And I saw him and through his disguise 

I wish you a hopeful Christmas 

I wish you a brave New Year 

All anguish pain and sadness 

Leave your heart and let your road be clear 

They said there'll be snow at Christmas 

They said there'll be peace on Earth 

Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell 

The Christmas we get we deserve.
