lyrics

Christmas Time for Them
Music and Lyrics – John P. Flynn

Verse 1:
Time to get together once a again
Gather with our families and our friends
It's Christmas Time for most of us
While others suffer in loneliness
They could remember how it feels
But Christmas time has passed them Bye
Maybe we can make it Christmas time for them again

Verse 2:
You pass them on the street everyday
Walking straight turn your head away
They could use your helping hand
You can give what you can
Do you really need a Mercedes Benz
Can spare a dime and make a Friend
Maybe we can make it Christmas time for them again

Bridge Solo Bridge:
All of what we have and all that we will need
It just never enough
But some of them could use a little of what we have
To help them make their own Christmas Time

Verse 3:
Try to look them in the eye
Look of hope that nearly died
Perhaps they need some socks and shoes
Or someone to talk the away the blues
To feel apart of the human race
And bring a smile to their face
Maybe we can make it Christmas time for them again
Maybe we can make it Christmas time for them again
Again
Ending: Christmas Time
