Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes

Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Christmas time is here
Christmas time is here

Beautifully done. I bet the guitar playing by Vince. He still has the beautiful voice. Wow in his high notes!

Your comment sums it up well. To break it down even further: First 4 bars guitar intro by Gill, 8 bars vocal Smith, 2nd 8 vocal Gill, 3rd 8 vocal Smith, 4th 8 vocal duo, 5th 8 guitar solo Gill, 6th 8 vocal Gill (where he skyrockets up to some ridiculous notes, as you mentioned), outro is Smith vocal and Gill guitar. Wow, these guys are something...
