Only live,
Nothing else-just be.
Don't stress before Christmas-
Do not break earthly ties,
don't leave.
Don't forget - you've a family.
Garden paths will soon dry up
for you and me;
Only live.
Don't stress before Christmas-
Sunshine's wholesome even in
wintertime.
Don't stress before Christmas-
It does chill the blood then ---
but that we'll forgive,
Without eternal youth we can do;
Don't let your ill looks discomfit you !
Don't stress before Christmas-
Simply - live !
You haven't just wasted your energy;
Don't stress before Christmas.
All that you had to your dear ones
you'd give---
All, yes, all, quite uninterestedly.
Be the same now-obedient and sweet,
Sweet and generous---
Only live !
So don't stress for Christmas.
