More Love Than Myth (Tell the Children)

Maybe we should tell the children Santa's make-believe And it's always been you and me It's always been you and me Explain that we would never let a stranger of the night break in To leave us things while we dream And it's always been you and me Teach them to believe in magic times Not to wait for magic to arrive No one's out there keeping tabs on if they're good or bad When you're a child and you are free There's really no such thing Show them we should match a love We give not things that we get But it'll all be future trash And we want but never need And we'll all soon forget And we'll pile on tomorrow's mess What a mess? What a mess? (Truth has more love) (More love than myth) Teach them to believe in magic times Not to wait for magic to arrive Years from now When we're sitting here with an empty Christmas tree And time's played it's dirty tricks And it's only you and me You'll miss this mess This stressful test for that magic in their eye Well, maybe one more year It wouldn't hurt a thing Hmm, hmm Hmm Just for you and me
