Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Before we leave I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
And [F#]
to play us out I'd like to play a song that I wrote many years ago.
It's called I Believe in Father Christmas and here to sing it with us, we are very fortunate to have the members of the Empire State [N] Youth Chorale.

They
[G] [D] said there'll be snow at Christmas, [G] they [D] said there'll be peace on earth.
[G] But [D] instead it just kept on raining, [G] a veil [D] of tears for the virgin birth.
And I [G] remember [D] one Christmas morning, [G] a winter's light and a people's [D] tale.
And the peal of a bell and [G] that Christmas tree [D] smell and their eyes [C] full of tinsel and [D] fire.

[G] They [D] sold me a dream of Christmas [G] and they [D] sold me [E] a silent [D] night.
[G] And they [D] told me a fairy story, [G] so I [D] believed in the Israelite.
And [G] I believed in [D] Father Christmas and I looked [G] to the sky with [D] excited eyes.
And I woke with a yawn in [G] the first light [D] of dawn and I saw him [C] in his [D] disguise.
[G] [D] [E] [D]
[D]
[G] I [D] wish you a hopeful Christmas [G] and I [D] wish you a great new year.
[G] All [D]
anguish, pain and [A] sadness, [G] leave [D] your heart and let your rope be clear.
They [G] said there'll be snow at Christmas, [A] they said there'll be [D] peace on earth.
Hallelujah, Noel, [G] be it heaven [D] or hell, the Christmas [Am] we get we [D] deserve.
