Christmas Time
John Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bells are ringin', jing, jing, jinglin', Santa's on his way
Bringing toys to girls and boys with him in his sleigh
Snow is fallin', friends are callin', spreadin' Christmas cheer
It's so nice when Christmas time comes around each year

Standin' with the one you love 'neath the mistletoe
Silent Night and Rudolph playin' on your radio
The smiles on people's faces make it all so clear
It's so nice when Christmas time comes around each year

Christmas is a happy time, feel it in the air
Decorations, Christmas trees and presents everywhere
Kids excited, folks delighted, all the family's here
It's so nice when Christmas time comes around each year

Standin' with the one you love 'neath the mistletoe
Silent Night and Rudolph playin' on your radio
The smiles on people's faces make it all so clear




It's so nice when Christmas time comes around each year
Yeah, it's so nice when Christmas time comes around each year
