Light the fire and trim the tree
It won’t be long ‘til Christmas Eve
So close your eyes and make believe
That dreams really do come true

Manger scenes and mistletoe
Christmas cards from friends we know
They’ll disappear like melted snow
At least for another year

CHANNEL
Watching children as they play
Makes you wish that Christmas would stay

CHORUS
All year long just for
Dreamers like me
And those who believe
The joy of the season would stay
All year long like a December snow
That just won’t let go
Let’s hold on to Christmas this year

Long ago and far away
Love was born on Christmas day
A cattle stall, a bed of hay
A star shining in the sky

CHANNEL
Even as the shepherds prayed
Heaven knew that Christmas would stay

CHORUS

All year long like a December snow
That just won’t let go
Let’s hold on to Christmas this year
