LYRIC: You Are Now In Bedford Falls (December)

The lights twinkle in the dark

But the mist makes it hard to see

It makes the lights feel so far away

Too far away to break through this pitch winter black.

You are now in Bedford Falls

Covered in snow

It’s tattoed on my arm

To remind me

Of Christmas

To remind me

That it is a wonderful life

To remind me

Of Christmas

To remind me

That it is a wonderful life

The cold cuts you to the bone

Feels like you might never feel warmth again.

There’s too many Old man Potters in this world

And not enough George Baileys

to make a difference

You are now in Bedford Falls

George has given up

So that we don’t have to

To remind us

Of Christmas

To remind us

That it is a wonderful life

To remind us

Of Christmas

To remind us

That it is a wonderful life

Teacher says every time a bell rings

There’s an angel that’s getting its wings

But I would say every time a teacher says stupid things

that the forces of ignorance win

Every time a bell rings

it only means

Somebody has bought some more things

You hear that noise - those ringing bells?

It’s the sound of us going to hell

You are now in Bedford Falls

Running past that

wonderful old building and loan

To remind you

Of Christmas

To remind you

That it is a wonderful life

To remind you

Of Christmas

To remind you

That it is a wonderful life

No man is a failure who has friends

No man is a failure who has friends

No man is a failure who has friends

But sometimes the friends don’t show up

Until the end
