Christmas Song

by Dave Matthews Band

She was his girl,
He was her boyfriend
She'd be his wife,
Make him her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day,
One healthy, little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The wise men came, three made their way,
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
 
Shower him with love, love, love,
Love, love, love,
Love, love, is all around
 
Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee,
Less than reputable was known to be
 
His heart was full of love love love,
Love, love, love,
Love, love, is all around
 
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "Oh, Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be,
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene,
Instead I fear I've spilled
 
The blood of my children all around"
The blood of my children all around
The blood of our children's all around
 
So I'm told, so the story goes,
The people he knew were
Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Like you and me
Like you and me
 
​Rumors insisited he soon would be
For his deviations
Taken into custody
By the authorities
Less informed than he
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
 
Searching for love, love, love,
Love, love, love,
Love, love, is all around
 
Preparations were made
For his celebration day-ay-ay,
He said "eat this bread and think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
 
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around
 
Father up above,
Why in all this anger do you fill me up with
 
Loooove, love, love,
Love, love, love,
Love, love, is all around
 
Father up above,
Why in all this anger do you fill me up with love
 
Fill me love, love, love,
Love, love, love, (can't buy me)
Love, love, love, (all you need is)
Love, love, love,
Love, love...
 
And the blood of our children's all around
