Time To Put Things Right
Here it comes again
no way you can escape
Rudolph and Santa and good will out of tune carolers in your face
Counting the pennies up
No credit to take the strain
Shake out the shabby old tinsel and trusty paper chains
Making promises
Don't know if you can keep
looking for ways of doing it on the cheep because...
It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Even your darkest days
Brighten in the fairy lights because...
It's Christmas time
Don't put up a fight
It's easier to just give in
Buckle up it might be a bumpy ride
Feel the spirit rise
With every brimming glass
Extending heart felt seasonal greetings to every one you pass
Rejoice in Excelsius
Following the herds
Making the annual pilgrimage somewhere I think it's called the church?
Even you can't resist
Hard as you try
Even the die hard hum bugs crack a smile because
It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Time to feel the love again
maybe more than once or twice because...
It's Christmas time
What have you got to lose
Wear your cheesy jumpers, sparkly dresses and suicidal shoes
Like a child again
Where's the harm in that
Before you know it it's over and you've got to deal with all the crap
Pack it all away do it with good cheer
Along with resolutions you fail to keep next year
Gather the ones you love
And the even ones you don't
Bury the grudges and have some fun because...
It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Time to forget everything
Leave it all behind because....
It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Time to feel the love again
maybe more than once or twice........

Please raise your glasses to love life and laughter
Smile for a moment be sad ever after
I'm raising my spirits by drowning my sorrows
Continuing living in all my tomorrows
The future is rosy it's so effervescent
But surprisingly quickly becomes the present
For one singular moment forgetting your fears
Can never allay
The spinner of years
Time keeps on ticking so drink to forget
That you can't remember a person you met
Who made you feel comfortable
Made you be you
Your soul bared and naked
Afresh and anew
Please raise your glasses to love life and laughter
Smile for a moment be sad ever after
Time keeps on ticking
And all of your tears
Will never betray
The spinner of years
I'll pour you a tumbler of good sound advice
A bitter as lemon translucent as ice
The spinner of years
The weaver of life
