[verse 1:]
Early in the morning
I smell the breakfast
Mama's gone and dressed up the table
I love this time of the year
At a time when I know I should be nothing but thankful
Something's got me sitting here troubled
And I've been thinking bout it
And I don't understand

[hook:]
Shouldn't just be at this time of the year
The love that you be showin your
Family and friends should be
Always and forever love
Not just christmas love
Shouldn't just be at this time of year
He gave his life for you
Just to show you his love for you
Always and forever love
Not just christmas love

[verse 2:]
All of the children are outside playin
And all the parents in the house singing
There's so much joy in the air
But what about yesterday? 
And what about tomorrow when the snow melts away? 
And what about the other day after? 
Will we realize that his love is forever and always? 

[repeat hook]

[break:]
What about yesterday? 
The day after and the day after that? 
Shouldn't just be at this time of year

[hook out]
