Happy Xmas
Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

(War is over)
(If you want it)

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear





(War is over, if you want it)
(War is over now)

it rarely pleases me, when my favorite songs are song by others, but Josh manages to take every song and make it at least as good as the original - sometimes better! Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice!
