the fireplace is burning
bright shining all on me
i see the presents underneath
the good old christmas tree
and i wait all night til santa
comes to wake me from my dreams
oh why cause that's christmas to me
i see the children play outside
like angels in the snow
while mom and daddy share
a kiss under the mistletoe
and we'll cherish all these
simple things wherever we may be
oh why cause that's christmas to me
i've got this christmas song in my heart
i've got the candles glowing in the dark
i'm hanging all the stockings
by the christmas tree
oh why cause that's christmas to me
oh why cause that's christmas to me
i listen for the thud of
reindeer walking on the roof
as i fall asleep to lullabies
the morning's coming soon
the only gift i'll ever
need is the joy of family
oh why cause that's christmas to me
i've got this christmas song
in my heart bracketed
i've got the candles glowing in the dark
i'm hanging all the stockings
by the christmas tree
oh why cause that's christmas to me
oh why cause that's christmas to me
ooooohhhhoooohhooohhh
ooooohhhhoooohhooohhh
oh the joy that fills our
hearts and makes us see
oh why cause that's christmas to me
i've got this christmas song in my heart
i've got the candles glowing in the dark
and then for years to come
we'll always know one thing
that's the love that christmas can bring
oh why cause that's christmas to me
