Somebody'd say this tree's not real
'Cause it stands there every year
But it makes my holiday feel
Like Christmas, when Christmas time is here

Some will say it's not about
How many gifts are given out
It just makes a holiday feel
Like Christmas, when Christmas time is here

Throughout the world, without a doubt
Christmas love is paying now
Throughout the world, without a doubt
Christmas songs are ringing now

Throughout the world, without a doubt
Christmas love is paying now
Throughout the world, without a doubt
Christmas songs are ringing now
Christmas songs are ringing now

Somebody'd say this tree's not real
'Cause it stands there every year
But it makes my holiday feel
Like Christmas

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright, yeah
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you

If you're far aways on this holiday eve
And you're dreamin' of being at home
If you're worried at all that you may be forgotten
You should know that you aren't alone

'Cause you're there and you're shining
Bright like a beacon, bright as a northern star
So, don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are
Santa will find you tonight

If you're listening for reindeer and sleigh bells
As they jingle and tap on the roof
You're awake, piled in blankets
With your cousin Sacramone
And you hope there'll be presents for you

'Cause you're there and you're shining
Bright like a beacon, bright as a northern star
So, don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are
Santa will find you tonight

It's the time and the season to bring lovers together
Never let distance keep you apart
With the spirit of Christmas
You'll never be lost
If you truly believe in your heart

When you're there and you're shining
Bright like a beacon, bright as a northern star
So, don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are
Santa will find you

Don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are
Santa will find you tonight

When my paper [Incomprehensible] in a frantic wind
And I feel I'm all alone
My whisper is heard when I call out to Him
And I follow the shepherd home

All the burdens weighing on my back
Aren't so heavy after all
Faith is knowing, you need to only ask
You can follow the shepherd home
You can follow the shepherd home

When struggles come like they tend to do
I hope still I will not run
I will draw my strength from the well above
And I'll follow the shepherd home

All the burdens weighing on my back
Aren't so heavy after all
Faith is knowing, you need to only ask
You can follow the shepherd home
You can follow the shepherd home

When my bones are tired and I'm near the end
I will know I'm not alone
My whisper is heard when I call out to Him
And I'll follow the shepherd home

All the burdens weighing on my back
Aren't so heavy after all
Faith is knowing, you need to only ask
You can follow the shepherd home
You can follow the shepherd home

You can follow the shepherd home
You can follow the shepherd home

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night?
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you received

Oh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?

Oh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
New Year's, New Year's Eve

[No lyrics]

It's been a long, long year
But it's flown on by
There's a story told
Of a miracle kind

You're my miracle
In the midst of it all
You hold me here
If I start to fall

And I know the reason
Each glowing candle shines
No matter what the season
It's always Christmas time
Knowing that you're mine

Girl, we use to share
The whole world doesn't have
Someone like you
Calling out their name

It's like a church bell ring
It's like a prayer you sing
It's like a dream you dream
It's finally happening

And I know the reason
Each glowing candle shines
No matter what the season
It's always Christmas time
Knowing that you're mine

Silver snow fills the air
People start to share joy and hope
Peace and love
Shower from above

And I know the reason
Each glowing candle shines
No matter what the season
It's always Christmas time
Knowing that you're mine

It's been a long, long year
It's coming to an end
Looking by my side
You still have my faith

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do

And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

The snow has fallen like it does every year
The tree I know so well is aglow
And folks are filled up with the usual holiday cheer
As they hang pretty lights and mistletoe

Oh, but this year is different for you and for me
Our own little miracle, on our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side

Baby, it is, baby, it is
It really is a wonderful life

I'd never noticed that the crackle of a fire
Makes music when accompanied by kiss
And when did I start having dreams about pumpkin pies
There's not a lot that's sweeter than this

Oh, but this year is better for you and for me
Our own little miracle, on our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side

Baby, it is, baby it is
It really is a wonderful life

Oh, but this year is better for you and for me
Our own little miracle, only our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side
Darling with you, by my side

Baby, it is, baby it is
It really is a wonderful life

Children of the world, come around
Every pair of sheep in sight, gather around

Lift up your voice to the baby
Put all your faith in the father
Jesus has come to save us all from sin

Women of the world, come around
Every mother of a child, gather around

Lift up your voice to the baby
Keep up your faith in the father
Jesus has come to save us all from sin

Such a heavy burden, carried by a child
Bring peace and hope to mankind

Will the men of this world, come around
With your politics aside, gather around

Lift up your voice to the baby
Keep up your faith in the father
Jesus has come, bringing peace to us

Children of the world, come around
Mothers of the world, come around
Fathers of the world, come around
People of the world
