"We Wish You A Merry Christmas" lyrics

Relient K Lyrics

So we'll drive as fast as we can go
Through the black night, black ice and all snow
Till we see some street signs that we know
We're coming home

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

And so when the words we sing are gone
I pray God's blessing continues on
We laugh and compliment this
Merry Christmas

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year
