Lyrics
Christmas day sad to say you and I are apart
Come what may Christmas day You'll be close to my heart
It's that happy time for cheer again
that joyous time of year again
and until I hold you near again
I'll keep Christmas in my heart
and when you hear christmas caroling
and Christmas bells ringing jingling
they'll tell you I'm remembering
to keep Christmas in my heart
Please say this prayer for all you're worth
may Christmas bring us peace on earth
and celebrate our saviours birth
with Christmas in your heart
and when you hear Christmas caroling
and Christmas bells ringing jingling
they'll tell you I'm remembering
to keep Christmas in my heart
There's a bright Christmas star above
as I dream on through the night
and no matter where you are my love
in my dreams I'm holding you tight
and when you hear Christrmas caroling
and Christmas bells ringing jingling
they'll tell you I'm remembering
to keep Christmas in my heart
Please keep Christmas
a peacefull Christmas
a very merry Christmas in your heart
