Lyrics
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR
CAN'T YOU HEAR
THE SALVATION BELLS RINGING
THE CAROLERS SINGING
WELL-WISHERS BRINGING GOOD TIDINGS TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
CHILDREN SNUGGLED IN TIGHT
DREAM OF SANTA AND SNOW
WHILE THEIR PARENTS GO
UNDER THE MISTLETOE
TO STEAL A KISS IN THE SOFT GLOW
OF LIGHTS FROM THE TREE
IT'S A MAGICAL SCENE
AND IT'S SPREADING IT'S JOY EVERYWHERE
THERE'S A BUZZ IN THE AIR
AND IT'S WISHING US ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS
STORES ON PARADE
WITH DISPLAYS
IN THEIR WINDOWS AND FLYERS
THE FESTIVE ATTIRE
IT'S FUELING THE FIRE IN EACH BOY AND GIRL
WITH NOSES PRESSED TO THE GLASS
THEN ITS HURRY HOME FAST
TO WRITE LETTERS TO HIM
EVERY WISH AND WHIM
KNOWING HE'S WATCHING THEM
CHECKING THEIR NAMES OFF THE LIST
OF WHO'S NAUGHTY AND NICE
AND THEN CHECKING IT TWICE
BEFORE HE LOADS UP HIS SLEIGH WITH GREAT CARE
REINDEER TAKE TO THE AIR
AND HE WISHES US ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS
ROOFTOPS FOR LANDING STRIPS
CHIMNEYS WERE MADE TO SLIP
IN AND OUT WITHOUT A SOUND
RUDOLPH'S NOSE ALL AGLOW
LEADS THEM THROUGH BLINDING SNOW
THROUGH EVERY CITY AND TOWN
NEVER TOUCHING THE GROUND
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR
CAN'T YOU HEAR
HOW THE CHURCH BELLS ARE RINGING
THE CHOIRS ARE SINGING
TELLING OF HOW THE WISE MEN
WENT IN SEARCH OF A STAR IN THE NIGHT
FOUND A BABY WRAPPED TIGHT
IN A MANGER WHERE THEY ALL PRESENTED HIM
GOLD, MYRRH AND FRANKINCENSE
VOWING FROM THEN ON TO CALL HIM
THE KING OF ALL KINGS
WHAT A MAGICAL SCENE
AS THEY WENT TO SPREAD JOY EVERYWHERE
WHAT A STORY TO SHARE
IT'S THE REASON WE'LL HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
