REFRAIN:
christmas is a time to say “I love you”
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
And a feeling that will last all through the year
VERSE 1:
On the corner carolers are singing
There’s a touch of magic in the air
From grownup to minor no one could be finer
Times are hard but no one seems to care
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
They will find a way into your heart
REFRAIN:
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
And a feeling that will last all through the year
VERSE 2:
Just outside the window snow is falling
But here beside the fire we share the glow
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
Sentiments that everyone should know
Memories of the year that lays behind us
Wishes for the year that’s yet to come
And it stands to reason that good friends in season
Make you feel that life has just begun
REFRAIN:
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
And a feeling that will last all through the year
OUTRO:
So when spirits grow lighter
And hopes are shinin’ brighter
then you know that ‘christmas time’ is here…

(“christmas is the time to say ‘i love you'” is a holiday rock song by billy squier, released in 1981 as the B-side of his hit “my kinda lover” (capitol 5037))
(the song has been covered by Darlene Love, Alexis Vega and by SR-71, and was included in the video game Rock Band in 2008)
(“katharine mcphee” recorded a cover of the song on her christmas album, Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You, which was released on 12 october 2010)
******************************************************************
(1981 billy squier song)
(i used to hear it on “Q104.3” during my college christmases)
(always a favorite)
(i liked squier’s high-pitched vocal style)
(sounded like ‘robert plant’ in lot of his songs)
(i always hated his classic rock stape “lonely is the night”)
(which sounded like 2nd rate ‘led zeppelin’)
