Lyrics
SEASON OF GIVING - L. Miller & B. Warren, 1/06 revised
There's one shopping day til Christmas
I got a pocket full of change
There's that doll that Katie wanted in the window, and it's
Ten times the tips I made today
Passer-by almost knocked me down
I was blinded by all her gold
She couldn't see me through her packages piled high, and I
Got nothing in my arms to hold
Chorus: In this season of giving, I feel helpless
(just) Like a puppy, (who) wants to run free, but has to crawl
It seems to me, it just won't be
A very merry Christmas after all
There's that old man on the corner
I got a pocket full of change
As my coins fall into his rusty coffee can, He says
God bless you, you are an angel
Chorus: In this season of giving, I'm not helpless
(Cuz) every gesture is a treasure, no matter how small
It seems to me, it just might be
A very merry Xmas after all
Bridge:
I'll get Katie and tell her the story
Of the poor boy who became the king of kings
Chorus: In this season of giving, no one is helpless
Every gesture is a treasure, no matter how small
And it seems to me, it's gona be
A very merry Christmas
A very merry Christmas
A very merry Christmas, after all
