(Verse 1)
It's getting closer to Christmas
Soon it will be Christmas day
That vast sea of presents
will be unwrapped at last
As the children all dive in to play
(Verse 2)
Yes, it's getting closer to Christmas
Soon Christmas day will be here
Sharing the memories of Christmases past
Making new ones to last through the years
(1st Bridge)
So why be put off by the weather?
Who knows whether snow will fall?
And spending the holidays together
That's the greatest gift of them all
(Verse 3)
Now we know the night before Christmas
The children will fight falling asleep
Hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa
As he puts their treasures there under the tree
(Instrumental verse)
(2nd Bridge)
Why be put off by the weather?
Who knows whether snow will fall?
And friends and families being together
That's the greatest gift of them all
(Verse 4 w/ ending)
So as we get closer to Christmas
And the kids are all counting the days
We would be wise to remember...
Yes, I'm sure you've heard this phrase,
"Christmas was made for the children..."
So let us be children always
