A Song for Christmas Words & Music by Joseph Patrick Christmas?. can be a lonely time of year my friend And when the times get tough And ? don?t even have enough for a card to send Well you can always do the best that you can (Chorus) So I bring you a song for Christmas May love be with us in our hearts And may joy and true happiness take part Christmas ? sometimes I wonder what it?s all about And though I?ve had my doubts Maybe that ray of hope can come shinin? through And this old world can be a better place for me and you (Chorus) So I bring you a song for Christmas May love be with us in our hearts And may joy and true happiness take part
