  • Feigning joy and surprise
    At the gifts we despise over mulled wine with you
    On the twenty-fifth day
    Of the twelfth month, the sleigh bells are in time, ringin' true

    How we cling, each Noel, to that snowflake's hope in hell
    That it won't end
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Just let them ring in peace

    Well, the weather is cruel
    And the season of Yule lifts the heart, but it still hurts
    You've got your career
    Spent the best part of last year apart and it still hurts

    So that's why I pray each and every Christmas day
    That it won't end
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Just let them ring in peace

    (Christmas time)
    (Don't let the bells end)
    (Christmas time)
    (Don't let the bells end)

    Poised underneath the mistletoe leaf
    And you're not here
    You went away, upon Boxing Day
    Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year?

    Christmas time (don't let it end)
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end (don't let the bells end)

    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Just let them ring in peace
    Christmas time (come on, kids)
    Don't let the bells end (bells end)
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end Writer/s: Daniel Francis Hawkins, Edwin James Graham, Francis Gilles Poullain Patterson, Justin David Hawkins
