Winter Begins Tonight

(Verse 1)

The weather’s turning cold now,

The clouds are rolling in,

Jack Frost is on the scene again

To make the season begin.

The holidays are calling,

A time for love and cheer,

To gather close together

’Cause Christmas time is here.

(Pre-Chorus)

And every light is glowing,

Soft golden in the snow,

A gentle kind of magic

That only winter knows.

(Chorus)

So let the bells keep ringing,

Let joy fill every street,

Let laughter warm the midnight

Where winter winds may meet.

Hold close the ones who matter,

Let hearts shine merry bright—

’Cause Christmas makes the world feel new,

And winter begins tonight.

(Verse 2)

The children whisper secrets,

Their eyes so full of light,

Waiting for dear Santa Claus

To visit them tonight.

Stockings hanging softly,

The fire burning low,

Dreams dancing in the quiet

As outside falls the snow.

(Pre-Chorus)

And every song reminds us

Of memories we hold dear,

Of all the love and moments

That bless us every year.

(Chorus)

So let the bells keep ringing,

Let joy fill every street,

Let laughter warm the midnight

Where winter winds may meet.

Hold close the ones who matter,

Let hearts shine merry bright—

’Cause Christmas makes the world feel new,

And winter begins tonight.

(Bridge)

Oh, gather ’round the tree now,

Where twinkling lights are bright,

And let your worries melt away

Like snowflakes in the night.

For every wish that lingers

And every hope we find,

Is wrapped in Christmas wonder

And peace for humankind.

(Final Chorus)

So let the bells keep ringing,

Let joy fill every street,

Let laughter warm the midnight

Where winter winds may meet.

Hold close the ones who matter,

Let hearts shine merry bright—

For Christmas paints the world with love,

And winter begins tonight.
