Rufus Wainwright - Spotlight On Christmas Lyrics

(One, two, three, four)

People love the working man
Who does the best that he can but
Don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys

People say they love the maid who
Sweats and toils just like a slave but
Don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
Never could fix the poor little rich girls

You could measure it in blood
You could measure it in mud
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measurin' away
'Cause it's Christmas
And a spotlight shining on Christmas
And a spotlight shining on us

People love and people hate
People go and people wait but
Don't forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Once were a family, poor but rich in hope, yeah
Don't forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Runnin' from the law, King Herod hath imposeth
And they were each one quite odd
A mench, a virgin, and a God but
Don't forget that what kept them afloat
Floatin' through the desert doesn't take a boat, no
Don't forget that what kept them above
Is unconditional love and

You could measure it in blood
You could measure it in mud
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measurin' away
'Cause it's Christmas
And a spotlight shining on Christmas
And a spotlight shining on us
And a spotlight shining on Christmas
And a spotlight shining on

People love the working man
Does the best that he can but
Don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
