Mary's in a nursing home

She puts her favorite records on

Reminds her of the years long gone

Another Merry Christmas



Billy's home from overseas

The pride of his whole family

Still fights a war that no one sees

Another Merry Christmas



It's happy and sad

The good and the bad

Someone's up and someone's barely hanging on

It's everything all at once

And if we're honest enough

Everybody wants to be loved



Every year on Christmas Eve

Jill hangs four stockings, now just three

Wonders if there'll ever be

Another Merry Christmas



Our painted old nativity

Is fragile like the lives we lead

Silently reminding me

God is with us

Another Merry Christmas
