    Lyrics
    Don't You Know That It's Christmas
    (c) 2000 Wales Tales Music

    My work was all done,
    It was four forty-one
    And I knew it was time to leave.
    It was snowing quite hard,
    As I brushed off my car
    On a stormy Christmas Eve
    An old man came to me,
    And he wanted to see
    If I had a dollar to spare
    With booze his breath,
    In old clothes he was dressed
    You could see he was in despair
    Then he said . . .

    "Don't you know that it's Christmas
    It's a time to remember all those you forgot
    It's a time to give something
    To those who have not
    Won't you please,
    Don't you know that it's Christmas
    If you don't do something than nobody will
    If God gave us enough,
    Can't we all have our fill?
    After all,
    Don't you know that it's Christmas"

    I gave him a one,
    And he turned to move on
    Then he fell face down in the snow
    He had too much to drink,
    And I started to think
    As the cold wind began to blow
    I went over to see,
    If he even could breath
    And I knew he would die lying there
    So I carried him off,
    Through the snow and the frost
    Though I didn't quite know, to where
    Then I thought . . .

    We wrap up our world in neat little boxes
    And live our lives unaware
    That people, not things,
    Should be our concern
    On Christmas, and through the year

    I was in a hurry, and my wife was worried
    About me in all this mess
    She nearly fell to the floor,
    When I walked through the door
    With this stranger in such distress
    She said there's no way,
    That he ever could stay
    As I tried to plead his case
    But our sweet little child,
    Made her mom finally smile
    And I saw the change on her face
    When she said . . .
