Christmas Carol Lyrics

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]
