I'm not entirely sure what's come over me Up in the attic with that old fake Christmas tree Barely November, I can't remember me Looking for Christmas so early Could be the days getting shorter and darker now All the world's problems I never could figure out What's got me wishing for snow Not sure but I think I know God with us Will You come be with us? 'Cause we need a little help We need Emmanuel Love, come down Sing with the angels now Just like the first Noel We need Emmanuel Christmas this year doesn't feel quite the same As it did back when I was a boy The specials on TV and Holly, and maybe it's just me But why's it so hard to find joy? I hope I don't sound ungrateful There's food on the table and family around The Christ in a manger, could I ask a favor? Could I just hold you right now? God with us Will You come be with us? 'Cause we need a little help We need Emmanuel Love, come down Sing with the angels now Just like the first Noel We need Emmanuel (God with us) (God with us) (God with us) (God with us) (God with us) God with us Will You come be with us? 'Cause we need a little help We need Emmanuel Love, come down Sing with the angels now Just like the first Noel We need Emmanuel Just like the first Noel We need Emmanuel Emmanuel
