lyrics

Put a record on
Tell me a story
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve turned off the TV

The sun has fallen
Below the treeline
Any light that’s left now
Is precious and golden

And I’ve been thinking more
About what giving is
And you’ve been giving more
All you’ve got to give
And if we live more with all we’ve got to live for
Maybe that’s what a holiday is

All the travelers
Are leaving town now
They’re leaving every doorstep
Quiet and solemn

And all the trees
are wrapped in lights
Let’s take a walk now
In the cold of the night

'Cause I’ve been thinking more
About what giving is
And you’ve been giving more
All you’ve got to give
And if we live more with all we’ve got to live for
Maybe that’s what a holiday is

Every dollar
And every day
Mean more to me now
Than they did yesterday

I’m leaving town
On a train tomorrow
Gonna see my hometown
I’ve got only myself to give

But I’ve been thinking more
About what giving is
And you’ve been giving more
All you’ve got to give
And if we live more with all we’ve got to live for
Maybe that’s what a holiday is
