Lyrics[]
If I cannot bring you comfort
Then at least I bring you hope
For nothing is more precious
Than the time we have and so
We all must learn from small misfortune
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 hope
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 of people
At the closing of the year
We'll walk in the sun
With all of the faith
And all of the patience
All of the way
With all of us right
And all of us same
No one an island
We'll fly in the arms of time
Walk in the waves, never fall
Don't fall
(At the closing of the year)
At the closing of the year
If I cannot bring you comfort
Then at least I bring you hope
Then at least I bring you hope
