Lyrics

Long ago, when I was just a boy, Christmas was a day for fun and joy.
Presents glittered before my eyes, stockings bulging and hung on high,
Turkey dinner and pumpkin pie - I never stopped to wonder why,
I thought I knew the Spirit of the Day.

Then I had a family of my own - most of the joys of Christmas soon were gone.
Workin? days and shoppin? all night, holiday traffic and crowds to fight,
Bills to pay, checks to write - yet, still, I felt I was doin? all right
Still thought I knew the Spirit of the Day.

But then there came that Christmas Eve morning - without a sign, without a warning -
My love fell ill and quietly slipped away.
I cried to God and I cursed His name - His was the Power, His was the blame -
That night I slept, He seemed to come and say.

Long ago, the World was in such pain I sent My own dear Son for Mankind?s gain.
The Life Eternal that He spoke of is anyone?s who believes enough.
But, know it?s true here In Heaven above We now have one more Angel to love.
And now you know the Spirit of the Day.
The real, true Spirit of the Day.
Christmas Day.
