If I cannot bring you comfort Then at least I bring you hope For nothing is more precious Than the time we have and so We all must learn from small misfortune Count the blessings that are real Let the bells ring out for Christmas At the closing of the year Let the bells ring out for Christmas At the closing of the year If I cannot bring you comfort Then at least I bring you hope Now all the winter bells are ringing Hear them echo through the snow And the children's voices singing On the streets so far below This is a time to be together And the truth is somewhere here Within our love of people At the closing of the year We'll walk in the sun With all of the faith And all of the patience All of the way With all of us right And all of us same No one an island We'll fly in the arms of time Walk in the waves, never fall Don't fall (At the closing of the year) At the closing of the year If I cannot bring you comfort Then at least I bring you hope Then at least I bring you hope
