Just in Time for Christmas - Nancy LaMott, Кристофер Марло

They had decked the malls and trimmed the town with plastic trees

Till the world was just a giant retail maze

Tis the season when you turn your thoughts to people you can’t please

When you measure passing time in shopping days

And the holidays were something to get through

But the thing I hadn’t counted on was you

Just in time for Christmas you came along

Just in time for Christmas when everything felt wrong

And I was sure my faith had all run out

Just in time for Christmas you showed me what Christmas is about

What I needed most could not be bought at any price

I was far to disillusioned then to see

I was going through the motions made a list and checked it twice and forgot to

write down anything for me

But my long unspoken wishes had been heard

And an unexpected miracle occurred

Just in time for Christmas one silent night

Just in time for Christmas you filled my life with light

And there was joy where there had once been doubt

Just in time for Christmas you showed me what Christmas is about

And all at once the bells began to ring

And hark the herald I heard angels sing

Whom am I to resist their call

You brought me the greatest gift of all

And now my spirits sing

Just in time my heart is caroling

From deep within my soul I want to shout

Just in time for Christmas

Just in time for Christmas

Just in time for Christmas you showed me what Christmas is about
