I heard the sidewalk Santa say:   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas   Salvation's coming cheap today   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas      I searched the skyline for a star   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas   And baby I wondered where you are   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas      'Cause comfort's not possible when   You look past the joy to the end      Calling on Mary is voluntary   Unless you're alone like me   If there's a star above, then it can look like love   When they light up the Christmas tree      When I was young I couldn't see   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas   All that my true love gave to me   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas      She offered sight to the blind   But I'm not the miracle kind      Calling on Mary is voluntary   Unless you're alone like me   If there's a star above, then it can look like love   When they light up the Christmas tree      And to all the lost souls down below:   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas   What's one more drifter in the snow?   Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas      Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!      If there's a star above, then it can look like love   When they light up the Christmas tree   If there's a star above, then it can look like love
