Just in Time for Christmas

Just in Time for Christmas - Mary Donnelly Haskell/The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (布拉格城市愛樂樂團)/London Symphony Orchestra (倫敦交響樂團)/Steve Amerson

They had decked the malls and trimmed

The town with plastic trees

Till the world was just a giant retail maze

Till 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

Who 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
