Lyrics

We’ve been waiting
All year for this night
And the snow is glistening
On the trees outside
And all the stockings
Are hung by the fireside
Waiting for Santa to arrive

And all the love will show
‘Cause everybody knows
It’s Christmas time
And all the kids will see
The gifts under the tree
It’s the best time of year
For the family

It’s a wonderful feeling
Feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It’s that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love
And everything’s okay
Merry Christmas, happy holidays
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays

Bells are ringing
It’s time to scream and shout
And everybody playing
‘Cause school’s out
Celebrating the special times we share
Happiness ’cause love is in the air

No matter what your holiday
It’s a time to celebrate
And put your worries aside
And open up your mind
See the world right by your side
It’s Christmas time!
