Once a year the time stands still

We're crowding every town

Empty streets and shops are filled

And faces lose their frown

Always changing day by day

Good things come to show

All because a child was born

A long long time ago

Things will change but one remains

And will forever be

Now's that favorite time of year

Smiling faces everywhere

Hear the bells are ringing children singing

Christmastime is here again

Childhood dreams and evergreen

The smell of Christmas trees

Everywhere whiter it seems

To bring back memories

All that we are longing for

Are happy days again

Every sign reminds us of

Where it all began

Things will change but one remains

And will forever be

Now's that favorite time of year

Smiling faces everywhere

Hear the bells are ringing children singing

Christmastime is here again

Now's that favorite time of year

Smiling faces everywhere

Hear the bells are ringing children singing

Christmastime is here again

Even in this day and age

The story lingers on

Everything we celebrate

Leads back to the one

Now's that favorite time of year

Smiling faces everywhere

Hear the bells are ringing children singing

Christmastime is here again

Now's that favorite time of year

Smiling faces everywhere

Hear the bells are ringing children singing

Christmastime is here again
