She can shop all over town,
Turn the gift shops upside down
Finding something for her man with everything
But it's right behind her eyes and no matter what she buys
She'll always be the finest gift, she brings.

Chorus:
Every year it's never missed,
Should be at the top of every list
It can never be outdone,
It's the perfect gift for everyone.

It's in everything you'll see
Scattered underneath our tree
You can hear it in the carols that we sing
It's the heart of love's design
And it appreciates with time
And she'll always be the finest gift, she brings.

--- Instrumental ---

Chorus:
Every year it's never missed,
Should be at the top of every list
It can never be outdone,
It's the perfect gift for everyone

Now It's not in any store
And she could never give me more
Then her promise of the finest gift, she brings
I know her love's the finest gift, she brings...

There's no telling how far a kiss'll go
Wish on the highest star that this'll go
On right here where we are under the mistletoe
On Christmas night, it seems so right.

That a lovely holiday dish made a mess of me
If love is this, it's my favourite recipe
The kind that fits to remind the rest of me
There's room to grow, under the mistletoe.

But I made this "myth" as a Christmas wannabe
With a Christmas list that insists I've gotta be
Hugged and kissed by this sweet miss in front of me
On Christmas night and every night.

Just right here, in the doorway where they found us
They'd like to leave but there's no way around us
I believe there's a spell that bound us
I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.

Gotta know, I'm afraid to go
Don't want out if we're in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.

Don't think so.

--- Instrumental ---

Gotta know, I'm afraid to go
Don't want out if we're in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.

Don't think so
I gotta know
Say it ain't, say it ain't, say it ain't,
Say it ain't Just the mistletoe...

Don't know...

Last night I dreamed I was a kid again
All the things I used to do I went and did again
Spent the afternoon with my best and closest friend
Wanderin' through the days we thought would never end.

It was back when I'd still get things from Santa Claus
Back when he believed in me and overlooked the flaws
That can grow inside until it hides
The perfect little boy inside the man.

Chorus:
I'm not a kid anymore, but I still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh and
The elves will make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys.

Tonight I'll climb back in that bed again
Try to live out all my dreams inside my head again
After christmas eve with my best and closest friend
Who will believe the world's greatest dad
Just tucked him in.

And I know that he'llbe looking out for Santa Claus
And I'm sure beyond a doubt he'll overlook the flaws
That will grow inside until it hides
This perfect little boy inside a man.

I'm not a kid anymore and I still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh
And the elves do make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys...

If I could take a ride on Rudolph,
We'd trim the treetops
Knockin' a boot off
I'd get a rise out of Rudolph
Hoofin' it everywhere.

If I could make
A Frosty the Snowman,
He'd be the jolly
Get up and go-man
I'd make a 40 below-man
We'd be the coolest pair.

Chorus:
Hey, We'd stick together,
All kinds of weather
We're sure to have a ball
I can imagine all that can happen
If a little bit of snow would fall

If I could be the man
Down the chimney,
Bag full of magic
I've got it in me
I can get Santa to send me,
I've got the time to spare

--- Instrumental ---

Chorus:
Hey, We'd stick together,
All kinds of weather
We're sure to have a ball
I can imagine
All that can happen
If a little bit of snow would fall.

But the word is around
There's some other town
That let Christmas go to the Grinch
Well, maybe in Whoville
Not me and You-ville,
We'd never give 'em an inch.

If I could make
A Frosty the Snowman
He'd be the jolly
Still on a roll-man
I'm make a 40-below man,
We'd be the coolest pair
Hoofin' it everywhere,

Hey, I've got time to spare...

I'm looking for Christmas,
I've gotta find Christmas,
Flying back in my mind
Does anyone know of this Christmas,
A long ago Christmas
Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing
Only bringing the long traveled message of love.

I'm looking for Christmas,
In time for this Christmas,
A day far and away
And could a star show me Christmas,
The town of old Christmas
Where truth is ringing, a virgin's
Bringing the newborn king and the
Lord's own Messiah of love.

And I close my eyes and
I'm kneeling there in the stall,
And could I be the wise man,
Sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom for all.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm looking for Christmas,
I know I'll find Christmas
Imparted right from the start
And everyone knows of this Christmas
The very first Christmas
Where Christ is guiding, all with tidings
Still his light is residing here in us all.

And I close my eyes,
And a thousand lifetimes recall
Aren't we all wise magi, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom
As born on this Christmas and each Christmas day
We are sharing his wisdom creating a kingdom
As born on this Christmas
And each Christmas day that shall fall...

The roar of his laughter is widely renown
A distinct ho-ho-ho as he goes town to town
The number of kids is sure to astound
It's many the chimney that he'll shimmy down
He know's who's been bad and who's good
And he'd empty that bag out if only he could.

Chorus:
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and St. Nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl.

How many children are watching the sky
For a chance to see Rudolph's red nose glowing by
And how many lay listening with sleep in their eyes
And visions of patriots crossing the sky
He knows who's asleep and awake
And that promise won't keep if it's for goodness sake.

Chorus:
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and St. Nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl.

Chorus:
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and St. Nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl.
...Around the world...

Now I'm only five years old
I've got to do just what I'm told
'Cause Santa Claus is gonna be dropping in on me.

Now is there something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.

Now I know what he like for a late night snack
For years now it's been bringing him back
Milk and cookies.

He'll come and go without a sound again
But how in the world does he get in
Ain't got a chimney.

Close my eyes and concentrate
Try to sleep it's getting late
All night long I lie awake
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait.

Now is there something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can get it all under that Christmas tree.

Sneak a peek down the hall
I've got to check Now I don't recall
The milk and cookies.

I think I'm sure I got it all
Stockings hung a-long the wall
Ain't got a chimney.

Close my eyes and concentrate
I gotta sleep now it's getting late
All night long I lie awake
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait
Just can't wait, just can't wait.

Could there be something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
I hope he can fit it all under my Christmas tree.

(Spoken)
Get that harmonica under there,
And put a guitar under there
And cowboy hat
And a bicycle maybe
And don't know what he's gonna do with that horse...

You're as slow as christmas,
I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it
Or was that old saying wrong
Every Christmas Day makes
Every other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.

I've heard old sayings, old cliches
And most of them make sense
But we're wiser in our younger days
Not easily convinced
There's no way to look ahead
With the wool over your eyes
And it seems that Santa's sled
Isn't the only thing that flies.

You're as slow as christmas,
I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it
Or was that old saying wrong
Every Christmas Day makes
Every other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.

--- Imstrumental ---

We're bringing in another year
Let's throw the old one back
With my new train, I'll be the engineer
And hurry down the track
While I know that time is standing still
I hear that old cliche
And I'm more convinced it does until that
One December day.

When I'm as slow as christmas
I'll be up before the dawn
I'm not gonna miss this
I know that old saying's wrong
Every christmas day makes other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone,
Come and gone...

Sages have come from far
Following one bright star
Telling us where thou art
From heaven the King of kings,
Lord is the word he brings
Praise of the Nazarene
The angels will sing

Chorus:
Jesus born unto Mary in Bethlehem
The angels herald the pietas in
The magi, Ardent wouldn't tarry to find him,
Enshrine him, glorify him

Frankincense, gold and myrrh
Honor the Savior's birth
The highest praise on earth
The angels will sing of him,
The trinity begins
Voices will ring, Amen
The birth of the king

Chorus Two:
Jesus, Joseph and Mary of Israel,
Isiah's miracle augured befell
The coming of Christ as the star
From the East will tell
The first noel our Load Emmanuel

Sages have come from far
Following one bright star
Telling us who thou art
From heaven the king of kings,
Lord is the word he brings
Praise of the Nazarene,
The angels will sing
Of the birth of the king

The angels will sing of
The birth of the king

(The angels will sing of
The birth of the king)... (x8)
