MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
(Ralph Siegel)

The Bellamy Brothers - 1996


Merry Christmas, joy yo you
May your wishes all come true
Merry Christmas, together we'll cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I'm far away, but in my thoughts I'm here
To spend these peaceful days with you
It's been a long and good and joyful year
We had our share, but now it's through
Oh, how I wish that I could share your company
With you, the folks and family

Merry Christmas, joy yo you
May your wishes all come true
Merry Christmas, together we'll cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

May peace and freedom come into your heart
And see you through in harmony
And life should never tear your dreams apart
'Cause they're the key to what will be
I think of you and I'm so sure you think of me
Standing beneath the Christmas tree

Merry Christmas, joy yo you
May your wishes all come true
Merry Christmas, together we'll cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas, get together and sing
Send your prayers to the new born King
Merry Christmas, together we'll cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas, joy yo you
May your wishes all come true
Merry Christmas, together we'll cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas, get together and sing
Send your prayers to the new born King
Merry Christmas, together we'll cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
