lyrics

This year's not the one I would have asked for
If I believed in Santa Claus
But it's the one that I was gifted, yeah
It's the one that I got

I learned to love and I learned to lose
I learned how to let go
I bit my tongue and I played my records
I tried to take it slow

And as I see the lights aglow
I realize all I know

I believe in light and love
I believe in God
And I don't know what that means
But I know it's all that I've got

Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

I made my list and I checked it twice
I know what I'm looking for
I know I ain't been good this year
But my heart's an open door

And love is like the snow
It's beautiful and it comes and goes

I believe in light and love
I believe in God
And I don't know what that means
But I know it's all that I've got

Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

So this Christmas time, hold your family close
Count the roof over your head
Give to someone who can't give back
It could be you instead

So this Christmas time, hold your family close
Count the roof over your head
Give to someone who can't give back
It could be you instead

I believe in light and love
I believe in God
And I don't know what that means
But I know it's all that I've got

I believe in light and love
I believe in God
And I don't know what that means
But I know it's all that I've got

Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh
