Silver bells are ringing

Carolers are singing

Snowflakes drifting

Through the air

Everybody's shopping

Got no time for stopping

It looks like Christmas is here.


So tell me

How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas

I wanna give it to you

Pretty bows and ribbons

Don't fit the gift I'm givin'

Your lovin' ares will have to do.


At first, I though of giving you

A pretty diamond ring

Wore myself out shopping

For a million other things

Finally decided

On something you can't buy

But how will I disguise it

So you will be surprised.


How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas

I wanna give it to you

Pretty bows and ribbons

Don't fit the gift I'm givin'

Your lovin' ares will have to do.


A gift of love was given to

The world so long ago

Laying in a manger

He was wrapped in swadlin' clothes

And every year we celebrate

And thank the Lord above

And give to one another

Our little gifts of love.


How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas

I wanna give it to you

Pretty bows and ribbons

Don't fit the gift I'm givin'

Your lovin' ares will have to do.


Pretty bows and ribbons

Don't fit the gift I'm givin'

Your lovin' ares will have to do...
