[Intro]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your every New Year dream come true

[Verse 1]
Sweet December song
The melody that saved me
On those less than silent nights
When snow would fall upon my bed
White sugar from Jesus
And take me to the day
She could always smile
The Virgin Child would always show, you see
Just to save me
(Just to save me)

[Chorus]
There was always Christmas time
To wipe the year away
I guess that morning theyd decided
That the war would have to wait

There was always Christmas time
Jesus came to stay
I could believe in peace on Earth
And I could watch TV all day
So I dreamed of Christmas

[Verse 2]
Maybe since you've gone
I went a little crazy
God knows they can see (the child)
But the snow that falls upon my bed
That loving I needed
Falls every single day
For each and every child
The Virgin smiles for all to see
But you kept her from me

[Chorus]
There was always Christmas time
To wipe the year away
I guess that morning theyd decided
That the war would have to wait

There was always Christmas time
Jesus came to stay
I could believe in peace on Earth
And I could watch TV all day
And so I dreamed of Christmas
Yes, I dreamed like you

[Outro]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your every New Year dream come true

George Michael was an English singer, songwriter, and producer. He was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963, in East Finchley, London. His mother Lesley Angold Panayiotou was an English dancer and his father Kyriakos “Jack” Panayiotou was a Greek Cypriot restaurateur.

After going solo in 1987, Michael became known for his provocative and massively popular pop music. His debut solo album, Faith, went on to sell more than 20 million copies.
