[Verse 1]
Wake up little darlin', it's Christmas morning
The sun is up, it's time to open
All the gifts that you've been given

[Verse 2]
You had been dreaming
Angels are singing
But now they're gone
And once again
It's time to go on with our lives

[Chorus]
Let's hope that the next year will be better
Than last year
And somehow we'd all get by
And maybe the time will come when
We won't need to pretend
To be happy for just a while

[Verse 3]
World keeps on turning
Fools keep on wishing
And when you wake
You'll find that everything
Is not what we dreamed them to be
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Let's hope that the next year will be better
Than last year
And somehow we'd all get by
And maybe the time will come when
We won't need to pretend
To be happy for just a while

[Verse 4]
Wake up little darlin', it's Christmas morning
So rise and shine
Let's make the most of happy holidays
Or maybe I should just let you dream
For a while longer
Wherever's a better place than here
Here
Here
Here
