This Christmas Songtext
von Melba Moore

Hang all the mistletoe
I′m gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
Ooh, we′re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me

Times is rough nowadays in many ways
It's hard to get along, so let's sing a song of redemption
Did I mention? Not one but two million brothers
Helped one another and stood together through the rough weather
So never give up hope, let′s all find a way to cope
Use the holiday in the best way
Shake a hand, make a friend with your brother man


Presents and cards are here
My world is full of cheer with you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the holiday view
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
Ooh, we′re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me

Leave your gats in the back in the trunk and stop the drive-by
It's time to strive to stay alive, so let′s stop the crack
Let's make it understood

It′s time for us to clean our own neighborhoods up
Whatever the problem, together we can solve 'em
So this Christmas let′s dismiss the

Drug dealers from the corner, from the gangs of the street
Then at the church we can meet and
Discuss the long struggle we've come through
And see if we can fix all the trouble we've been through
Now′s the time for us to all make a change
And rearrange, even though it sounds strange
Together as a people, we can overcome

Look to the sky for a sign, don′t be left behind
Remember what I told you to do
Let's make this one special for me and for you


Have yourself a very special Christmas
Do it for the babies, don′t forget the babies
Have yourself a very special Christmas
Do it for the Creator, don't forget the Creator
Have yourself a very special Christmas
Joyous occasion all across the nation
Have yourself a very special Christmas
Do it for your father, do it for your mother

Have yourself a very special Christmas
Do it for your sister, do it for your brother

Have yourself a very special Christmas
Do it for the babies, don′t forget the babies
Have yourself a very special Christmas
A very special Christmas, a very special Christmas
