The Day the Calendar Comes
Alive Look to see if Santa’s been,
And nothing matters more.

Not waiting for the dawn to crack, Forget the clock, forget the hour,
When heads have hardly hit the sack, The church bell ringing in the tower,
The kids are first, all with a burst, Tells the world the time
They tumble down the stairs. Has only just gone half past four.
Listen to the peals of laughter,
Who needs sleep? That’s not the way,
Ringing out from floor to rafter,
To make the most of Christmas day.
Looking for the presents,
Forget the flagging spirit,
Which they know are surely theirs.
For just one day in the year.
Chorus The fickle feast of festive fun,
Holly bough and mistletoe, Will very soon be gone and done;
The Christmas tree, the fall of snow, To see a new day dawning,
The magic and the mystery survive, In the season of good cheer.
The day the calendar comes alive.
Paul J Openshaw
Once the day is set in motion,
Stay in bed’s, a wasted notion.
