From the Juan Oskar CD: 'Christmas is For Grownups Too'
lyrics
1. Snow flakes, on the window ledge, a snowman smiling in the yard. Christmas is near but for some it won’t be this year.
2. Stockings, on the fire place, the children fast asleep, you just don’t hear a peep, Christmas is near but for some it won’t be this year.
CHORUS: If everyone would stop, and take a look around you, there would be something to see. So take some from your shelf, don’t worry about yourself, cause they need someone there, need someone to care, put out your hand.
3. Children will wake up, from a silent night to laugh and play, cause this is the way. Christmas is near, but for some it won’t be this year.
