Lyrics
Hear that gentle sound
Round about December
Softly crunching snow upon the ground
In the town at Christmas time
Pine boughs scent the air
Cares turn into candy
Merry bands are playing in the square
I?ll be there at Christmas time
The snowmen wait to greet us
With holly berry frozen smiles
And I?ve asked Santa to meet us
We?ll while away ?til New Years? Day
Snowflakes on your tongue
Young and old are joyful
Yuletide carols waiting to be sung
All begun at Christmas time
(break)
Welcome Winter?s Tale
Sail away to dreamland
Skating side by side and hand in hand
Through the town
You will understand
Life is grand at Christmas time
