Christmas is the time of year
For being with the one's we love
Sharing so much joy and cheer
What a wonderful feelin'
Watching the one's we love
Having so much fun

I was sittin' by the fire side
Taking a walk through the snow
Listening to a children's choir
Singing songs about Jesus
The blessed way that he came to us
Why can't it remain
All through the year
Each day the same
Heyeah, that's what I wanna hear
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas

All the kin folk gather round
The lovely Christmas tree
Hearts are glowing full of joy
Sense the gifts that we're giving
And the love that we're living
Why can't it remain
Oh all through the year
Each day the same
that's what I wanna hear
I'll tell ya
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas

(Let me hear ya)
Why can't it remain
All through the year
Each day the same
That's what I wanna hear
Listen to me
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Oh it's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Ain't it so
It's truly amazin'
Yeah, that spirit of Christmas
Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas
