Its Christmas Eve in the city
Santa Be Rolling Thru
Well I hope that all our presents are wrapped up for me and you
Its another year of feeling lonely with all my family gone
thinking, well all need something to keep our spirit strong
Merry Christmas from California
We really don't have much snow
but do I believe in miracles baby
I'd bet you sure like to know
Merry Christmas from California
We sure got a long, long way to god
lets pray for all our children now
hope and love is all we've got to show
It's a beautiful day in the ghetto
all my friends are near
I got my guitar in one hand
the other, christmas cheer
Now my wish for this Christmas
will my friends in sight
is to relax into the comfort knowing
its Christmas time
Merry Christmas from California
We really dont have much snow
but do I believe in miracles baby
I'd bet you sure like to know
Merry Christmas from California
I got a lot of friends with nothing to show
lets pray for all our children now
hope and love is all we've got to show
Merry Christmas! Merry Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year
