Christmas Don't Let Me Down

Bring out all the old decorations

Some of them, they're older than us

To my new neighbours, I say, "Salutations"

Come shelter in here from the dust

Take your cellphone off of the table

And look your father straight in the eye

Could this stranger become an angel?

Could the winter brighten your sky?

Somebody, hold out their hand

Well, somebody count off the band

Come on, let's light up the town

And Christmas, don't let me down

Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters

And all the children lie awake in their beds

But can y'all fill up the houses with laughter?

Shall we dance and honour our dead?

Somebody, hold out their hand

Well, somebody count off the band

So come on, let's light up the town

And Christmas, don't let me down

Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us

Can we go gentle into that cold, cold night?

Well, I know you can't grant all my wishes

Yet I pray for the world to be kind

Now hold out your hand

Well, somebody count off the band

Come on, let's light up the town

And Christmas, don't let me down

Don't let me down

Don't let me down
