Diamond, Neil - Christmas Prayers Lyrics






You're in my Christmas prayers
And in my Christmas dreams
In every Christmas story told
In every song I sing
In every song I sing

When I hear people laugh and I see children play
Reminds me of that photograph
Of us on Christmas day
It's us on Christmas day

I see you standing there smiling down on me
As I untie the gifts that lie
Beneath our Christmas tree
And every Christmas day

I know I'll find you there
You'll always be the answer to
My every Christmas prayer
My every Christmas prayer

Grandmas, grandpas, fathers, mothers
Friends I've loved dear
Sisters, brothers, sons and daughters I once played with
Aunts and uncles I once stayed with

Their story will be told as long as love recalls
Those loved ones smiling down on me
The greatest gift of all
The greatest gift of all

The loved ones far and near
Will be forever there
It's Christmas up in Heaven too
With love beyond compare
With love beyond compare

Don't have to read the book of life
Behind the veil of tears
You'll always be right here with me
And in my Christmas prayers
You're in my Christmas prayers

    Dear Neil, I have been your fan since 1970 (wow, 50 years) and I think this song has now become my favorite one. Your voice hasn't changed in all those years, just amazing and mellow. Thank you for sharing your words, lyrics, melodies and songs with us all these years. May the Lord bless you and your family always.

    And every Christmas day
    I know I'll find you there
    You'll always be the answer to
    My every Christmas prayer
