Christmas In America Lyrics - A New Thought For Christmas - Melissa Etheridge

I picked out a tree 

And I tied it to the car 

There's a wreath up on our door 

Eight tiny reindeer in the yard 

I drove under the downtown lights 

Red and green and blue 

The silver neon snowflakes 

Only made me think of you 

It's Christmas all around me 

You're in someone else's land 

So I'm sending out my only wish 

Hey Santa tell the man

Hey mister send my baby home 

This December I don't want to be all alone 

Oh Christmas in America 

I need you in my arms 

Far away from harm 

Mister send my baby home 

I hear someone singing jingle bells 

No wait that deck the halls 

And the teenagers with candy canes 

Ramble through the malls 

The girls are down at Ruby's 

Trying to find some Christmas cheer 

There's not much to do but drink too much 

When everyday's unclear 

So here I am on Christmas eve 

This silent holy night 

And I reach up to the stars for you 

And I pray that you're alright

What happened to the peace on earth 

All that goodwill toward men 

Oh come on all ye faithful 

It's time to think again
