(Verse 1)
Snowflakes fall on the avenue,
Streetlights shine, the world feels new.
Kids are laughing, bells are ringing,
The whole wide town just starts to singin’.
(Pre-Chorus)
The jukebox hums a jolly tune,
By the firelight, I’ll see you soon.
With tinsel glistening, hearts will sway,
It’s Christmas time, and it’s here to stay.
(Chorus)
Oh, oh, Christmas time is here to stay,
Love fills the air on a winter’s day.
Hold me close, let’s dance this way,
‘Cause Christmas time is here to stay.
(Verse 2)
Stockings hung and records spin,
A warm embrace, where have you been?
Cookies bake, the sweet perfume,
Of gingerbread dreams in every room.
(Pre-Chorus)
The world feels young, the world feels bright,
With carols sung on a holy night.
So raise your voice, let joy display,
‘Cause Christmas time is here to stay.
(Chorus)
Oh, oh, Christmas time is here to stay,
Love fills the air on a winter’s day.
Hold me close, let’s dance this way,
‘Cause Christmas time is here to stay.
(Bridge)
We’ll trim the tree with candy canes,
Watch the snow fall on windowpanes.
A kiss beneath the mistletoe,
Oh, it’s Christmas, don’t you know?
(Chorus)
Oh, oh, Christmas time is here to stay,
Love fills the air on a winter’s day.
Hold me close, let’s dance this way,
‘Cause Christmas time is here to stay.
(Outro)
Yeah, Christmas time is here to stay,
We’ll laugh and love ‘til New Year’s Day.
Hold me close, don’t drift away,
‘Cause Christmas time, oh, it’s here to stay!
