It's Christmas Time Again
Peggy Lee Victor Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snowflakes fallin', church bells callin'
It's Christmas time again
Fires lighted, kids excited
It's Christmas time again

Now Santa's sleigh is on its way, with candy canes and toys
And wonderful things that Santa Claus brings
To good little girls and boys

Candle glow and mistletoe
It's Christmas time again
Stockings hung and carols sung
It's Christmas time again
There's the tree to trim
Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year

There's the tree to trim
Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer




To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
