Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When someone very dear
Calls you with the words, everything's all clear
That's what you want to hear
But you know it might be different in the New Year
That's why, that's why we hang the lights so high
[Verse 2]
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
[Verse 3]
You loved it as a kid
And now you need it more than you ever did
It's because of the dark
We see the beauty in the spark
That's why, that's why the carols make you cry
[Verse 4]
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
Joy
[Verse 5]
The tinsel on the tree, yes I see
The holly on the door, like before
The candles in the gloom, light the room
The sally army band, yes I understand
[Verse 6]
So light the winds of fire
And watch as the flames grow higher
We'll gather up our fears
And face down all the coming years
All that they destroy
And in their face we throw our
[Verse 7]
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
[Verse 8]
It's why we hang the lights so high
And gaze at the glow of silver birches in the snow
Because of the dark
We see the beauty in the spark
We must be alright if we could make up Christmas night
