Verse:
When the snowflakes start to linger
And the nights are long and clear
Then you feel some magic in the air
For Christmas time is near

Soon the stores are filled with shoppers
And the streets ring out with cheer
As the trees and yards light up the night
For Christmas time is near

Bridge:
All the people in the town seem merry
As they sing the carols that they hear
And the messages of love and of peace on earth
Will last throughout the year

Verse:
If the world seems dark and dreary
With a thousand things to fear
Open up your heart when carols start
For Christmas time is Near

In this time of war and hardship
Men and women still hold dear
All the wonder felt by every child
When Christmas time, Merry Christmas time
Merry Christmas time is near
