Christmas Is
Mark Harris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fireside, winter snow
Lights are on the tree
The world is all aglow again
With all the season brings

And though it comes around each year
The meaning of the season sometimes
Disappears
Oh, it's good to be reminded

Christmas is for girls and boys
Trimming trees and Santa's toys
It's Mom and Dad
Gram and Grandpa too

Christmas is a sacred birth
A chance for hope and peace on earth
It's everything that we hold
Dear and true

'Cause most of all, Christmas is the love
That lives inside of me and you

Sleepy eyes are open wide
And tiny hearts beat fast
To celebrate the morning just like
Every Christmas past

We gather close the family
Embracing all that's been
And all that's yet to be
Oh, it's good to reminded

Christmas is the candle light
Jingle bells and silent night
Friends from long ago
And friends we've made anew

Christmas is a sacred birth
A chance for hope and peace on earth
It's everything that we hold
Dear and true

'Cause most of all, Christmas is the love
That lives inside of me and you

From where it all began
One night in Bethlehem
It reaches out to all of us
Reminds us once again

Christmas is for everyone
The greatest gift, the Father's love

Christmas is the sacred birth
A chance for hope and peace on earth
It's everything that we hold
Dear and true

'Cause most of all Christmas is the love
That lives inside of me and you




'Cause most of all Christmas is the love
That lives inside of me and you
