Melissa Etheridge - Christmas In America - Текст песни

I picked out a tree

And I tied it to the car

There's a wreath up on our door

Eight tiny reindeer in the yard

I drove under the downtown lights

Red and green and blue

The silver neon snowflakes

Only made me think of you

It's Christmas all around me

You're in someone else's land

So I'm sending out my only wish

Hey Santa tell the man


Hey mister send my baby home

This December I don't want to be all alone

Oh Christmas in America

I need you in my arms

Far away from harm

Mister send my baby home


I hear someone singing jingle bells

No wait that deck the halls

And the teenagers with candy canes

Ramble through the malls

The girls are down at Ruby's

Trying to find some Christmas cheer

There's not much to do but drink too much

When everyday's unclear

So here I am on Christmas eve

This silent holy night

And I reach up to the stars for you

And I pray that you're alright


What happened to the peace on earth

All that goodwill toward men

Oh come on all ye faithful

It's time to think again
