This time of year

This time of year
Once long ago
Angels awoke shepherds in snow
to speak of a son, save everyone
Some are alive, some are alone
And tidings of joy
cut through the phone calling me home
come from afar
follow the star
chorus:
And we'll have a merry Christmas
When you fill your hearts with cheer
I will love you every season
but you warm me up the most
This time of year
And now that we're here
troubles will stay so far away
for everyone it has begun
(chorus)
