CHORUS:
christmas is a time to say ‘i love you’
share the joys of laughter and good cheer
christmas is a 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 grown-up 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
*CHORUS*
VERSE 2:
just outside the window snow is falling
but here inside 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
will make you feel that life has just begun
CODA:
so when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shining brighter
then you’ll know that christmas time is here
