Verse:
When the snowflakes start to linger
And the nights are long and clear

Then you feel some magic in the air
For Christmas time is near


Soon the stores are filled with shoppers
And the streets ring out with cheer
As the trees and yards light up the night

For Christmas time is near

Bridge:

All the people in the town seem merry
As they sing the carols that they hear
And the messages of love and of peace on earth

Will last throughout the year

Verse:

If the world seems dark and dreary
With a thousand things to fear
Open up your heart when carols start

For Christmas time is Near

In this time of war and hardship

Men and women still hold dear
All the wonder felt by every child
When Christmas time, Merry Christmas time

Merry Christmas time is near
