Melancholy Christmas




© 2017 Mark Cote


have a melancholy Christmas
superficial time of year
greed like snow everywhere you go
seems so insincere

have a melancholy Christmas
and in the crowded aisles
think of those
out in the cold
and ones who can't be near

Oh no
do they know
the reason today is here
a baby was born this day
who filled the world with cheer

have a melancholy Christmas
even if you are alone
with hope not doubt
it's not a melancholy Christmas next year

have a melancholy Christmas
superficial time of year.

(instrumental)

have a melancholy Christmas
and in the crowded aisles
think of those
out in the cold
and ones who can't be near

Oh no
do they know
the reason today is here
a baby was born this day
who filled the world with cheer

have a melancholy Christmas
even if you are alone
with hope not doubt
it's not a melancholy Christmas next year
