If i cannot bring you comfort,

then at least i bring you home

for nothing is more precious

than the time we haven't sold



We all must learn from small misfortunes

count the blessings that are real

Let the bells ring out for Christmas

at the closing of the year



Let the bells ring out for Christmas

at the closing of the year



If i cannot bring you comfort,

then at least i bring you home



At the closing of the year

at the closing of the year

at the closing of the year

(instrumental)



(The following is added in the reprise, although i do not have it complete here)



Now all the winter bells are ringing

hear them echo through the snow

and the children's voices singing

on the streets so far below



This is a time to be together

and the truth is somewhere here

within our love for people

at the closing of the year
