Christmas Lyrics - Singles - Rachel Kershenbaum

Christmas 

by Rachel Kershenbaum 

I feel like Christmas passed me by 

Took all its jingle bells and left me with a silent night 

And all the presents are for you 

And Santa came last night and wrapped my heart in blue 

I never got around to 

Finding someone to be bound to 

Someone to help me muddle through 

The winter sure gets cold round here 

The subway rolls its eyes at 

"wishing you a happy new year!" 

And all the people are so tired 

Of forcing naked heartache 

Into Merry Christmas style 

There's something to be said for 

Warm arms in dark December 

Someone to help me hang the lights 

I spent a hundred on new shoes 

And walked right by a hundred 

Outstretched strangers selling 'bless you's 

Jesus is singing for our change 

He's singing "I can save you, 

please forgive me, it's my birthday" 

They're singing "let it snow" 

I'm thinking "let it go" 

I feel like Christmas disappeared 

I'll try again next year to muster up some Christmas cheer 

But this time Christmas passed me by
