	Verse 1 We didn't have much of a summer No Saturdays in the park No Sundays in the sand The waves are still breaking But there is nothing for the taking And the plague is still blowing Across the land Across the land Chorus 1: But take out the tinsel and trim the tree Sing all the songs of holiday glee Mama and papa and baby makes three Let’s not be listless Let’s pretend it is Christmas Verse 2: As the crisp air of autumn arrives There are no children singing With playmates in the street But with our families Love and hope cascades through salty breeze To remind us once again That life is sweet That life is sweet Chorus 2: So take out the tinsel and trim the tree Sing all the songs of holiday glee Mama and papa and baby makes three Let's not be listless Let's pretend it is Christmas Verse 3: Hang a star on the top of the tree Let’s fill the air with a song Thankful for those we love Let’s raise up the brave mistletoe And we'll kiss in the silence below And listen for sleigh bells above sleigh bells above Chorus 3: colored lights shine in the trim of the tree As we sing songs of holiday glee Mama and papa and baby makes three Let's not be listless Let's pretend it is Christmas
