Spotlight On Christmas Lyrics - The Mcgarrigle Christmas Hour - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

People love the working man 

Who does the best that he can 

But don't forget all the horses and toys 

Never could fix the poor, little, rich boys 

People say they love the maid 

Who sweats and toils just like a slave 

But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls 

Never could fix the poor little rich girls 

You can measure it in blood 

You can measure it in mud 

Let us say for these twelve days 

Put the measuring away 

'Cause it's Christmas 

And the spotlight's shining on Christmas 

And the spotlight's shining on us 

People love and people hate 

People go and people wait 

But don't forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph 

Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah 

Don't forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph 

Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth 

And they were each one quite odd 

And mensch, a virgin and a God 

But don't forget that what kept them aflow 

Floating through the desert doesn't take a boat, no 

Don't forget that what kept them above 

Is unconditional love 

And you can measure it in blood 

You can measure it in mud 

Let us say for these twelve days 

Put the measuring away 

'Cause it's Christmas 

And the spotlight's shining on Christmas 

And the spotlight's shining on us 

And the spotlight's shining on Christmas 

And the spotlight's shining on 

People love the working man 

Who does the best that he can 

But don't forget all the horses and toys 

Never could fix the poor, little, rich boys
