Hey Blue, it’s that time of year again already. Where did that time go?
Woah! Yeah, where did it go? Just gone in the blink of an eye, just gone.
Merry Christmas Blue - Merry Christmas

Musical Intro

Verse 1
It’s here again, you’re full of Christmas cheer
Tell me my friend what have you done this year?
Did you keep your resolutions?
Did you find the right solutions?
Nevermind, next year - just try again
It’s not too late to make that change - change - change


CHORUS
So when the kids are skating on very thin ice
And they’re promising Sants they’re gonna be nice
Niceness is for life, not just for Christmas
When you’re wishing this year for peace on earth
And you’re making that wish for all you’re worth
Peace is for life not just for Christmas

Verse 2
This Christmas time as you wonder will it snow?
Another year has flown, the seasons they come and they go
Did you take time to call on Mater?
Did you make peace with poor old Pater?
It’s good to know - you’ll try again
I’m glad to hear you’ll make that change - next - year

CHORUS
So when you’re raising a glass of Christmas cheer
Then you’re ringing on in a brand new year
Ring in for life, not just for Christmas
When you’re taking a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne - YES
Kindness is for life, not just for Christmas

Instrumental
