Let Love In by Rachel Harris, December 2010
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Christmas the year before you were born
Morning crystal and white,
perfect day, something not right
The faces I love just didn’t excite
A face I had never known,
was the face I longed to be shown
Chorus D Am G G
And there’s room, room, room in our hearts, There’s room, room, room in our lives
There’s room, room, room at the inn, if we let love in
Christmas the year after you came,
green and brown, no snow around
But you came with your baby ways
and made it all seem new
Not to say we’re boring but, yes,
it’s children make Christmas the best
Chorus
Christmas morning you’re 3 years old, with a game you want to play
I’ll be the mama whale, you’ll be the baby whale
I’ll be the mama tree, you’ll be the baby tree
And the best part is you’ll be here with me, the best part is you’ll be here with me
Chorus
Christmas’s pass, happiness, the mundane and tragedy too
All were better because you were there and we were there with you
We needed new ones to hold, we needed new lives to mold
All was better because you were there and we were there with you
The best part, the best part, the best of Christmas was you, was you
Chorus
Let love in, Let love in
