QUEEN - Thank God It's Christmas

Queen are a British rock band that formed in London in 1970. The classic line-up was Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass guitar). Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their music.
"Thank God It's Christmas" is a Christmas single and it was written by lead guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.
Released on 26 November 1984, the single spent six weeks in the UK charts over Christmas 1984 and new year of 1985, and reached number 21.The song was not originally released on any Queen studio album, appearing only on Queen's Greatest Hits III, released in 1999, and as the B-side of the single "A Winter's Tale" from the 1995 album Made in Heaven. However, the track was finally included on the bonus EP packaged with the deluxe edition of their album The Works, remastered and re-released in 2011.
It appears on the Christmas compilation LP The Edge Of Christmas in its full 12" version with the drum intro. It also appears on the US-only compilation boxed-set The Queen Collection, which consisted of a re-release of the LPs Classic Queen and Queen's Greatest Hits along with a bonus CD called Queen Talks that included this song, along with a 1989 interview with the band.

Lyrics:
Oh my love we've had
Our share of tears
Oh my friends we've had
Our hopes and fears
Oh my friend it's been
A long hard year
But now it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas

The moon and stars
Seem awful cold and bright
Let's hope the snow will
Make this Christmas right

My friend the world will share
This special night
Because it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one night
Thank God it's Christmas
Yeah thank God it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Can it be Christmas
Let it be Christmas every day

Oh my love we live
In troubled days
Oh my friend we have
The strangest ways
Oh my friends on this
One day of days
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Wooh yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Yeah yeah yeah yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day yeah - Christmas
A very merry Christmas to you all
