Lyrics

The first Noel rang from the band shell A Salvation Army breath My breath in the air, a bench of despair Wet patches of snow and dead grass The ghost of Christmas past may call But don't answer just yet Sometimes it's best to forget The next Noel as my spirits fell A star turned my eyes to the east The wisest of men enjoined me again To rise up and make my own peace The ghost of Christmas past may call But don't answer just yet Sometimes it's best to forget The third Noel, a midnight motel A guy had just prayed for a room And nowhere to go, I still didn't know How miracles fall from the moon The ghost of Christmas past may call But don't answer just yet Sometimes it's best to forget The last Noel, the trumpets still swell But can't pierce the fog of my sleep I'm cashing in dreams and when I'm redeemed I'll count all my blessings like sheep The ghost of Christmas past may call But don't answer just yet Sometimes it's best to forget Sometimes it's best to forget
