Rascal Flatts (Holiday) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la it's Christmas time

Follow me in merry measure
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la it's Christmas time

Fa la la la la la it's that time to give
Fa la la let the joy of Christmas time begin

Fa la la la la it's Christmas time

See the blazing yule before us
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la it's Christmas time

Fa la la la la la it's that time to give
Fa la la let the joy of Christmas time begin
Fa la la la la it's Christmas time

Fa la la la la it's Christmas time

Fa la la la
