[Bob Cratchit:]

Another night of working late for this cold, heartless man

They say his heart is filled with loneliness and filled with hate

All this time I wondered how he could have been if

Someone knew just what he need, and took away his act of greed

Of all these years I've spent of working for this stubborn man

I realized that wealth and fortune can't bring you all

I can imagine how his life now could have been if

Someone took his hand and said "I'll be your friend"

If he only

Knew the feeling

Of coming home to those

That you are holding close

This day is so much more

Than being all alone

I wish the joy of Christmas

I wish the joy would come to you

Here I am with my loving family

They make me feel like I'm the richest man so constantly

I can't imagine how my life now would have been

If no one had ever taken my hand and said "forever I'm your friend"

If he only

Knew the feeling

Of coming home to those

That you are holding close

This day is so much more

Than being all alone

I wish the joy of Christmas

Would find its way to you

See now that man, I know he can change to a different person

Where you'll find love, that's where you'll find Christmas - inside your heart

It's time to now make amends, to tear down the fence and go out into the world

And see all the joy that Christmas can bring

I wish he'd only

Had known the feeling

Of having someone close

Not being all alone

If he only

Knew the feeling

Of coming home to those

That you are holding close

This day is so much more

Than being all alone

I wish the joy of Christmas

I wish the joy would come to you

If he only

Knew the feeling

Of coming home to those

That you are holding close

This day is so much more

Than being all alone

I wish the joy of Christmas

I wish the joy would come to you

This day is so much more

Than being all alone

I wish the joy of Christmas

Would find its way back to you
