[Verse 1]
I heard the sidewalk Santa say
"Merry Christmas, merry Christmas"
Salvation's coming cheap today
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

[Verse 2]
I searched the skyline for a star
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
And, baby, I wondered where you are
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause comfort's not possible when
You look past the joy to the end

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
When I was young, I couldn't see
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
All that my true love gave to me
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[Pre-Chorus]
She offered sight to the blind
But I'm not the miracle kind

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
When they light up the Christmas tree
