Verse:
It used to be some presents
Under the tree
Spending time with the family
But they're gone
This Christmas Eve
It used to be
I had some money to blow
Some easy thrills
with folks I used to know
But they're gone
This Christmas Eve
Chorus:
'Cause I'm thinkin' about Christmas
And all the things it should be
And I'm thinkin' about Christmas
And what it used to be
'Cause I'm thinking about Christmas
And it's meaning to me
Verse:
I was out late walking
And I don't know why
I saw a steeple shooting
Straight to the sky
And it called out to me
A lonely man such as I
Now I know I'm not the religious type
But I had nowhere else
to be tonight
And the church door was open
It was warm by the candlelight
And now I just feel
this quiet shame
Nothing to give
And I have nowhere to stay
And this Christmas
Am I someone to blame?
So I started to pray
So I started to pray
Chorus:
'Cause I'm thinking about Christmas
And all those things it should be
Not all these things I can't live up to
All these things I just can't be
'Cause the meaning of Christmas
Is deeper than what we can
Lord don't lie about Christmas to me
Don't you lie about Christmas
And it's meaning to me.
