Lyrics
?Round November every year the mercury begins to fall
And shadows from an early sunset drowse in twilight mystical
Now?s the time when magic twinkles line the eyes on every face
A wondrous season filled with peace and friendship by the fireplace
Windows are sparkling on Michigan Avenue
Gingerbread houses along Lincoln Park
See the Sears? Tower aglow with a shower
Of red and green halos to brighten the dark
Tiny white glitters reflect off the icicles
Clinging to maples along Lake Shore Drive
Kids near O?Hare keep an eye in the air
For reindeer and Jolly St. Nick to arrive
Christmas in Chicago hear the carols in your heart
The rumble of the El is swell when holiday greetings start
Crystals on Buckingham Fountain and snowflakes along Navy Pier
Drift to your feet as you glide down the street wishing all Merry Christmas this year
Join all the families that stroll along State Street
Pick out a present and tie it with string
Feel how romance can grow under the mistletoe
When the bells in the Carillon ring
This is the season when smiles are addictive
Spread them from Wabash to Wheaton and then
Tidings of kindness will serve to remind us
?Til Christmas rolls round again
Christmas in Chicago hear the carols in your heart
The rumble of the El is swell when holiday greetings start
Crystals on Buckingham Fountain and snowflakes along Navy Pier
Drift to your feet as you glide down the street wishing all Merry Christmas this year
