God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Light the fire and trim the tree

It won't be long 'til Christmas Eve

So close your eyes and make believe

That dreams really do come true

Manger scenes and mistletoe

Christmas cards from friends we know

They'll disappear like melted snow

At least for another year

Watching children as they play

Makes you wish that Christmas would stay

All year long just for

Dreamers like me

And those who believe

The joy of the season would stay

All year long like a December snow

That just won't let go

Let's hold on to Christmas this year

Long ago and far away

Love was born on Christmas day

A cattle stall, a bed of hay

A star shining in the sky

Even as the shepherds prayed

Heaven knew that Christmas would stay

All year long like a December snow

That just won't let go

Let's hold on to Christmas this year
