CHRISTMAS LYRICS

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

Cross the ocean with my window view
Thinking of the time I spend with you
And I close my eyes
And I see the family
Making up their wish list
All dressed up for Christmas

On my own for too many years
I miss the happiness
I miss the tears

When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone
I think of all the love we share
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire cuz this year
I'll be home for Christmas day

I see the children playing in the snow
Precious memories that I used to know
And I see the love
In the mothers eyes
Always there to teach us
The real meaning of Christmas

On my own for too many years
I miss the happiness
I miss the tears

Chorus

It doesn't matter
How wrong you think you are
Something happens to ya
When you see that shining star

Chorus

When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone
I think of all the love we share
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
I'm sending out this wire (sending a wire)
Cuz this year
I'll be home for Christmas day

Oooh yeah, ooh yeah
I'm comin' home
(repeat to fade)

UNDER MY TREE

It's that time of year
Christmas is here
Everybody's back together again
Spreading the joy, spreading good cheer
Toastin' to another year's end
So thankful for
All of our friends

When the party is over, the night's just begun
I promise the best part is yet to come
Slow dance together, two become one
That's what we've waited all day for

No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree

The fire's aglow
We've got Nat King Cole
Singing us a song from his heart
Sleigh bells and snow
Makes us feel close to the stars

When the carols are sung and the fire has died
The ember still burns with the love in our eyes
We cherish the moment
Savour the night
That's what we've waited all day for

CHORUS

No one but me
No one but you
Sweet rendezvous
Under my tree
No one but me
No one but you

When the party is over, the night's just begun
I promise the best part is yet to come
We slow dance together, two become one
That's what we've waited all day for

CHORUS

I wish that Santa could be here to see

No one else for me but you
Nothing I would rather do
Than make all your dreams come true
Under my tree

Such a cozy rendezvous
Just relax, enjoy the view
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful (beautiful, beautiful) under my tree

It's that time of year
Christmas is here, Christmas is here
Under my tree

It's that time of year
Christmas is here
Feel the love and good cheer

I NEVER KNEW THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Fa la la la la la la
Yeah. Oh yeah, Fa la la la la la la

Looking back on childhood days
I can't believe my foolish ways
Thought that Christmas only came from a store

Had to know what was there for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
I didn't know that there could be so much more
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see

That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
Till you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
Till you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
Till I looked into your eyes

Coming home for the holidays
Seeing friends from around the way
There was always something missing for me
On a sleigh ride, caroling
Didn't really mean anything
Without that someone who can make it complete

While the snow's falling down
There was joy all around
Cuz girl your love has shown me the way

CHORUS

Fa la la
Fa la la, fa la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la la la
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see

CHORUS

That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
Till I looked into your eyes

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Oooh, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays
(Ooh yeah)

We've been waiting, all year for this night
When the snow is glistening on the trees outside
And all the stockings are hung by the fireside
Waiting for Santa to arrive

And all the love will show
Cuz everybody knows
It's Christmas time and
All the kids will see
The gifts under the tree
It's the best time of year for the family

It's a wonderful feeling
Feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It's that time of year (that time if year)
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love
And everything's okay
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Oh yeah
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays

Bells are ringing
It's time to scream and shout (scream and shout)
And everybody's playing cuz school's out
Celebrating, the special times we share
Happiness cuz love is in the air
And all the love will show
Cuz everybody knows
It's Christmas time and
All the kids will see
The gifts under the tree
It's the best time of year for the family

CHORUS

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays
Oooh...
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays

No matter what your holiday
It's a time to celebrate
Now put your worries aside
And open up your mind
And see the world right by your side
It's Christmas time...

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays
(Sing it everybody!)
Merry Christmas
(Come on now!)
Merry Christmas
(Lemme hear ya!)
Merry Christmas
And Happy Holidays

CHORUS

(Come on now!)
Merry Christmas
(Lemme hear ya!)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays...

THE CHRISTMAS SONG (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols, being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Can help, to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep, tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies, on his sleigh
And every mother's child, is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know, how to fly
(Shoo be do whop do)
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids, from one to ninety-two
Although, its been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

CHORUS

(Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas..to you)
Merry Christmas

I GUESS IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME

Feel the magic in the air
Christmas is all around
Something 'bout this special time of year
A blanket of snow falls down from the sky
Voices of angels open our hearts
So we can open our arms

And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
I must have been a part of some grand design
Guess it's Christmas time

It's in the face of the little boys and girls
Singing their first noel
A sweet refrain heard all around the world
A song of forgiveness
Comforting peace
A time to remember
What life really means (life really means)
The important things (important things)

CHORUS

Guess its Christmas time
Open our hearts
So we can open our arms

CHORUS

I must have been a part of some grand design
Guess it's Christmas time

(said) Merry Christmas

ALL I WANT IS YOU THIS CHRISTMAS

Snowy night
Where it's warm here by the fire
Here with you
I have all that I desire
It's been a long year
But somehow we got by
Now its Christmas eve
And love is on our side

I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don't you know the best thing you can give to me?
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
(this Christmas, this Christmas)

Children sing (children sing)
Christmas carols at our door
Spreading joy (spreading joy)
That's what Christmas time is for

Though we don't have much
You've got me,
and I've got you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And with a little faith,
miracles come true

CHORUS

I don't want the love of any other girl
I want only one thing in this whole wide world
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas

Cheek to cheek
The lights are low
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Your face lit by the fire's glow
That's all I want tonight

CHORUS

Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas (Yes)

THE FIRST NOEL

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel
The first Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the east
Beyond them far

And to the hurt
It gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel
They spied the light
Of that same star
Three wise men came from
Country far
To seek for a king
Was their intent
Had to follow that star wherever it went..

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel
Born is the king of Israel

O HOLY NIGHT

Oooh, oooh, oooh
Hail, oooh
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior's birth

Ahhh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Long lay the world (long lay the world)
In sin and error pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt its worth (ah-ah-ah)

The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

Oh, fall (fall, fall) on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born (o holy night)
Oh, night divine
Oh, holy night
Oh, night divine

The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

Fall (fall, fall) on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh, holy night
Oh, night divine

Oh night (o holy night) when Christ was born
Holy night when Christ was born

LOVE'S IN OUR HEARTS ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Mmmmmmm
Oooh, oooh
I know great distance still
Remains between us
But there's good reason to hold on
It's the happiest time of the year
Filled with laughter and good cheer
As we watch the snow
Sweet love, you hear me say

You've got my heart on Christmas
Inside my soul your love remains
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Day

Mmmmm-ooooh
The days and weeks and months go by
So slowly
We are both wishing it to fly (oh)
As the night begins to fall
Twilight drowns the bedroom cheer
Such a rush of joy
Your love it comforts me
And I do believe

Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Day

A snowflake melts in your eye
It turns to a tear
But your cheek it stays dry
With your warm smile so near
I have no fear
We're gonna make it

Oooh, oooh

CHORUS

I pray
Though far apart (as one we pray)
As one we pray (we pray)
Love's in our hearts (love is in our hearts)
On Christmas Day

THE ONLY GIFT

I was making my list
I was checking it twice
In the middle of this
I got tears in my eyes
For in my foolish heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you

I was trimming the tree
I was stringing the lights
While the radio played Silent Night
There were presents you sent
Though there were quite a few
The only gift I wanted was you

You need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe
As candles glow
Please come home soon
It's not the same without you

As a bittersweet night
Had come to an end
I was saying goodbye (bye-bye-bye)
To our family and friends
And they all wished me well
And I knew that I knew
The only gift I wanted was you

And

CHORUS

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la
(Oooh-oooh, oooh-ooooh)
The only gift I wanted was you

CHORUS

I was making my list
I was checking it twice
In the middle of this
I got tears in my eyes
For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you

For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you

KISS ME AT MIDNIGHT

Oh-yeah, hey-hey
Kiss me at midnight
(Five, four, three, two, one)

Kiss me at midnight
Dancin' till the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of our friends are here
And when the time is right
Kiss me at midnight

(Kiss)
I've been waiting for this special night
To be with you
The colours of Christmas are still shining bright
And I know what we're gonna do

Anticipating
Music is playing
The magic is in the air (the air)
All through the season
You've been the reason
I have so much love to share

CHORUS

Kiss (kiss) kiss me at midnight
(Kiss)

We'll be making promises in the dark
Our resolutions
As a brand New Year is about to start
and we're together

Celebrating (celebrate)
No more waiting (ooh)
Our time has arrived (oh, ho-ho)
Feel the beat of my heart (beat of my heart)
As the countdown starts (countdown starts)
Just look into my eyes (ooh-hoo)

CHORUS

Baby, it's New Year's Eve
A time we can believe
In making wishes, dreams come true
Just for me and you

CHORUS x 3 until fade
