When Christmas comes this year
There'll be laughter and good cheer
And lots of presents underneath the tree
Sometimes it's easy to forget
A child was born in Bethlehem
The greatest gift the world has ever seen

There will be brand new shiny toys
There will be joyful girls and boys
We'll take a sleigh ride through the gently falling snow
But there is a star that shines above
To show us the gift is really love
Reminding us to open up our hearts

For a child was born upon a midnight clear
Let us pray the world will keep his spirit near
When Christmas comes this year

When Christmas comes this year
If you listen close you'll hear
Voices singing hope for everyone
Around the fire burning bright
With our loved ones here tonight
We'll sing a song of joy for He has come

There will be brand new shiny toys
There will be joyful girls and boys
We'll take a sleigh ride through the gently falling snow
But there is a star that shines above
To show us the gift is really love
Reminding us to open up our hearts

For a child was born upon a midnight clear
Let us pray the world will keep his spirit near
When Christmas comes this year

There will be brand new shiny toys
There will be joyful girls and boys
We'll take a sleigh ride through the gently falling snow
But there is a star that shines above
To show us the gift is really love
Reminding us to open up our hearts

For a child was born upon a midnight clear
Let us pray the world will keep his spirit near
When Christmas comes this year
