1994 Christmas Fable ( Tic - Toc, Tic - Toc )

Tic - toc, tic - tic, the old year passes by
And as falls gives way to winter winds
With our Christian creed, we do abide

We bedeck our halls with merriment
Hark the Harold Angels Sing
Silent Night and Jingle Bells
Throughout our homes, do ring

Tic - toc, tic- toc, trim the fresh cut tree
Don it with the brightest lights
For our neighbors all to see

Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Blue-light special on aisle two
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
We've saved the very best for you

We send our thoughts of love and hope
To those that we hold dear
Then we pack up all of our sentiments
To send out again next year

Tic - toc, tic- toc, Christmas passes by
There is no more, The First Noel
Or Angels Heard On High
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
Is a memory of the past
And Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Has flown home just as fast

Perhaps this year, like years gone by
In the tradition we adore
We'll leave the lights, the cards, the hymns
And the wreath upon our door

Tic - toc, tic - toc, as the new years passes by
Let's not forget our Christian creed
Or put it upon a shelf to die

We'll send our thoughts of love and hope
To those that we hold dear
We'll gaze upon the cards you've sent
We'll hold Christmas throughout the year...
