It Really is
Mindy Smith (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The snow has fallen like it does every year
The tree I know so well is aglow
And folks are filled up with the usual holiday cheer
As they hang pretty lights and mistletoe

Oh, but this year is different for you and for me
Our own little miracle, on our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side

Baby, it is, baby, it is
It really is a wonderful life

I'd never noticed that the crackle of a fire
Makes music when accompanied by kiss
And when did I start having dreams about pumpkin pies
There's not a lot that's sweeter than this

Oh, but this year is better for you and for me
Our own little miracle, on our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side

Baby, it is, baby it is
It really is a wonderful life

Oh, but this year is better for you and for me
Our own little miracle, only our own little street
Never before have I loved 'Silent Night' so
But now that you're here by my side
Darling with you, by my side





Baby, it is, baby it is
It really is a wonderful life
