The fireplace is burning bright, shining all on me
I see the presents underneath
the good old Christmas tree
And I wait all night till Santa
comes to wake me from my dreams
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I see the children play outside
like angels in the snow
While mom and daddy
share a kiss under the mistletoe
And we'll cherish all these simple things
wherever we may be
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
I'vе got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all thе stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies
the morning's coming soon
The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
(song in my heart)
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
That's the love that Christmas can bring
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
