Christmas Carol

I first met her in December on a snowy winter's night

And it didn't take me long to see that something wasn't right

They called her Christmas Carol

Said her mind was nearly gone

But she could still light up the room

When she sang a Christmas song

Seems no one knows the story to explain her Christmas cheer

Why she keeps the decorations up all through the year

And though she long ago forgot the names of family and friends

When it comes to singing Christmas songs

She's like a child again

CHORUS:

Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol

Sing with all of your might

Sing Joy to the World

Sing O Holy Night

You're closer now to Jesus

Than you've ever been

Sing, oh sing, Christmas Carol

Sing your songs to him

I had told my son about her, so I thought I'd take him by

And he was so amazed at all the tinsel and the lights

She laughed and told her stories of her Christmas memories

But nothing told it better than when she began to sing

CHORUS

The last time that I saw her, she didn't recognize me

Her hair was thin and she was frail, and she couldn't even speak

But I could sit down next to her, sing her favorite Christmas songs

And somehow, God only knows how

She could still sing right along

CHORUS
