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

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

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

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

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

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
Oh, won't you sing
Oh, sing, Christmas Carol
Sing your songs to Him
