It's Christmas Time Again
Jessica Simpson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the lights are shining
Against the winter sky
Above the rooftops
Reindeer are flying
Bells ringing through the night
Look outside
There's a sleigh ride
A choir begins to sing

Stars gleaming
Kids are dreaming
Of what the day will bring

In the fallen snow under the mistletoe
I need you here with me when I hold you close
Baby, take my hand in wonderland
'Cause it's Merry Christmas time again

It's Christmas time again

A wreath on every front door
Lights hung for all to see
Warm cider by the fire
Stockings for you and me
Kids plant a gift for Santa
Milk and cookies by the tree
I'm wondering what will he bring
This year on Christmas eve

In the fallen snow under the mistletoe
I need you here with me when I hold you close
Baby, take my hand in wonderland
'Cause its Merry Christmas time again

Well, there's nothing like being home for Christmas
Its a wonderful time of year
And there's just one thing that's noticed missing
Baby I'd feel that somethings missing
If you're not here

I see your eyes are shining
Just like the morning sky
One thing there's no denying
Loves gift of you and I
It's Christmas time again (Merry Christmas)
It's Christmas time again (Merry Christmas
It's Christmas time again (Merry Christmas)
It's Christmas (it's Christmas time again)

Merry Christmas (it's Christmas time again)
Oh yeah (it's Christmas time again)
