"Christmas in New York" -- Shilelagh Law

Here's a wonderful song from a very under-appreciated and -- Shilelagh Law -- out of New York. First the lyrics:

there's snow in the air
winter is here
the wind in blowing
and outsides so clear
there's presents to wrap
and cards to send
it's christmas in new york again

there's somebody singing a holiday song
you pick up the tune and start singing along
you learned the words some time way back when
its christmas in new york again

fancy store windows and millions of lights
downtown in december, what a fabulous sight
you spin round and round trying to take it all in
its christmas in new york again

but as you gather round the table
with everyone you feel that something has been left undone
the tree is all trimmed, your shopping is through
but there's one last thing you still have to do

its christmas eve, 11 pm
you walk down to the church and you quietly go in
you kneel down in the last pew right on the aisle
and say "god i know its been a while
but can you do me a favor on this christmas eve
can you send some blessing to people for me
you know these past few months have been kinda tough
and we could all use a little love

so bless new york finest, our angels in blue
giving us hope and helping us through
and bless new yorks bravest, the f.d.n.y.
giving their sweat and their tears and their lives

and bless all the medics and our troops over seas
bless the guys in the hardhats, removing debris
bless the everyday people who answered the call
bless those who gave some and those who gave all

bless all the souls who left us this year
you may be gone but you'll always be hear
singing and dancing with family and friends
its christmas in new york again

and theres snow in the air
winter is here
the wind is blowing and outsides so clear
there's presents to wrap and cards to send
its christmas in new york again
