Karliene Reynolds - Scrooge

Once, long ago, on a dark Christmas Eve
There lived a man named Scrooge
Cold as the Winter, no joy did he feel
Counting his purses full

Heavy were his chains of greed
Growing day by day
Would he hear the spirits three
Willing him to change?

He saw the ghost of a Christmas long and gone
Memories filled his eyes
He saw his boyhood and everything he lost
All money could not buy
Ooh, ooh
Sang the Christmas song
Ooh, ooh,
Treasure is in love

Humbled and grieved on that dark Christmas Eve
Scrooge felt his cold heart break
Stunned by the man that he turned out to be
Hoarding his coins away

Heavy were his chains of greed
Growing day by day
Would he hear the spirits three
Willing him to change?

He saw the ghost of a Christmas just begun
Merriment filled his eyes
He saw the families, the laughter, and the warmth
All money could not buy
Ooh, ooh
Sang the Christmas song
Ooh, ooh
Treasure is in love

Grave and alone on that dark Christmas Eve
Scrooge heard the church bells toll
Counting the cost of his miserly deeds
All for his coin so cold

Heavy were his chains of greed
Growing day by day
Would he hear the spirits three
Willing him to change

He saw the ghost of a Christmas yet to come
Shadow befell his face
A lonely grave, with his name carved in the stone
All money could not change

Pleading, he cried on that dark Christmas Eve
Lit by the pale dawn's hue
Moved by the spirits and all that he'd seen
Scrooge vowed to start anew

Broken were his chains of greed
Scrooge took back his fate
Out he walked with spirits three
Into Christmas Day

To sing the song of a Christmas just begun
Merriment filled his eyes
He kept the spirit of Christmas all year long
All money could not buy
Ooh, ooh
Sang his Christmas song
Ooh, ooh
Treasure is in love
