Lyrics

There's a man who stands on the corner in a suit of red He rings a bell and asks for help to feed the hungry Though he's been standing there all day, he doesn't want to go Cause he knows there's no one waiting up at home He just can't believe this year she's really gone There's a lady down the alley sifting through the trash She smiles at me and cheerfully says, "Merry Christmas" She loves her kids, so she's been looking everywhere she can For something she can polish up like new So this year they can have a present too And oh, what could anybody say Oh, help to make it through the day There's an empty chair, there's a meal too few If you carry me, I could carry you Give love away Give love away Give love away There's a girl out at a party in a brand new dress She says, "No, thank you" when I offer her some cheesecake She's feeling faint but says that's just the price of beauty But she can't see what no one wants to say It's gone too far, she's wasting away On the school bus there's a boy with sneakers half untied The other kids, they're asking what he wants for Christmas All he'd ask is for his mother not to be so sick Cause he has to tie his shoes without her help With hands too small to do it by himself And oh, what could anybody say Oh, help to make it through the day When it's heavier than it needs to be (It's gone too far, he's far too small) I could carry you, would you carry me? (Will you break my fall?) Give love away Give love away Give love away Listen now, hear the sound Are we getting better? Open your eyes, see the signs Is it now or never? Tis the season Can you see them? Tis the season Can you see them? It's never easy Can you see me? Give love away Give love away Give love away Oh, give love away (Give love) Give love away (Give love) Give love away (Give love) Give love away (Away) We can give love away
