Fay Lovsky - Christmas Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

Every year lasted too long
With Easter bunnies, birthday cards and seaside outings in the summer
Only to break the long
Gap of time that stretched between the one and the other Christmas

Christmas in the sixties was fine
With candles, goodies, presents, and wine
"Peace on Earth" was real, it seemed
And "Love" a word as yet not obscene, no no

Watching the season parade
Dying trees, and neon stars, and plastic Santas for a penny
Urging to celebrate
Here comes another Christmas

Christmas was a jolly old time
With Billy Smarts and Auld Lang Syne
"Peace on Earth" was real, it seemed
And "Love" a word as yet not obscene, no no

Christmas tree smell and those silvery bells
Christmas was a friend of mine

Christmas was a friend of mine
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas everybody
All around the world, Christmastime
And everybody have a good time coming in and talk to me yeah
Christmas time is here again
Been around since you-know-when
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
I hope that everyone
