Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feigning joy and surprise
At the gifts we despise over mulled wine
With you
On the 25th day of the 12th month
The sleigh bells are in time
Ringin' true
[Verse 2]
How we cling each Noel to that snowflake's hope in Hell
That it won't end
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring in peace
[Verse 3]
Well, the weather is cruel
And the season of Yule warms the heart
But it still hurts
You've got your career
Spend the best part of last year apart
And it still hurts
[Verse 4]
So that's why I pray each and every Christmas day
That it won't end
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring in peace
[Verse 5]
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
[Verse 6]
Poised underneath the mistletoe leaf
And you're not here
You went away upon Boxing Day
Now, how the hell am I going to make it into the New Year?
[Verse 7]
Christmas time (Don't let it end)
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
[Verse 8]
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end (Just let them ring in peace)
Christmas time (Come on, kids)
Don't let the bells end (Bells end)
Christmas time (Oh)
Don't let the bells end
