[Intro – soft, magical]
Tick… tock… hear the sound,
Snowflakes drifting all around.
Windows glow with candlelight,
Christmas dreams wake up the night.
Every star begins to gleam,
Just like something from a dream.
Listen close, come gather near,
Christmas time is almost here.
[Verse 1]
One little light on the tree shines bright,
Two fuzzy socks by the fire tonight.
Three candy canes in a shiny row,
Four bells ringing soft and low.
Five wrapped gifts with bows so tight,
Waiting patiently through the night.
Count with me, come take a look,
Time is ticking like a storybook.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands go clap, hearts go thump,
Feel the joy, give a jump.
Every minute, every hour,
Christmas magic gains its power.
[Chorus]
Tick-tock, tick-tock, hear it chime,
Santa’s getting closer every time.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, cozy and warm,
Safe inside from the winter storm.
Close your eyes, hold on tight,
Christmas comes in dreams tonight.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, don’t stay awake,
Santa knows the sleep you take.
[Verse 2]
Pajamas on and teeth all clean,
Snuggled up with a book to read.
Milk and cookies on the tray,
Just in case Santa’s on his way.
Stockings hanging straight and tall,
Hoping Santa fills them all.
Whispers float through quiet air,
Is that reindeer on the stair?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiptoe softly, dim the light,
Stars are blinking “goodnight.”
Every second, every sigh,
Santa’s sleigh is in the sky.
[Chorus]
Tick-tock, tick-tock, hear it chime,
Santa’s getting closer every time.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, soft and slow,
Snowflakes dance down below.
Dream big dreams, drift away,
Christmas comes by morning day.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, rest your head,
Magic grows while you’re in bed.
[Bridge – Imagination section]
Hear a jingle? Was that real?
Hooves that sparkle, sleighs of steel.
Clouds like pillows float on by,
Painting pictures in the sky.
Elves are laughing, wrapping cheer,
Spreading joy both far and near.
Every wish begins to glow,
As the countdown whispers low…
[Verse 3]
Nine more stars blink in a line,
Eight soft dreams feel warm and kind.
Seven wishes float like snow,
Six bells hum a gentle glow.
Five, four, three — it’s almost time,
Two closed eyes, one last chime…
Shhh… the night knows what to do,
Christmas morning’s waiting you.
[Final Chorus – slower, lullaby style]
Tick-tock, tick-tock, drift to sleep,
Santa’s promise he will keep.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, peaceful and bright,
Wrapped in dreams tonight.
When you wake, the clock will say,
Merry Christmas, it’s the day.
Tick-tock fades, the night is through,
Santa’s been… and loves you too.
[Outro – whispered]
Goodnight…
Sweet dreams…
Merry Christmas…
