And turn the lights down low
Let's feel the spirit
'Cause Christmas time is here
Sittin' by the firelight
Let's hold each other tight
And feel the spirit
Can't you hear those jingle bells?
It's the sound I love so well
(It got meaning to) can't you hear those jingle bells
That sound I love so well
Means Christmas time is here
Love is the greatest gift
So it's a blessing to be with
The one you love
This special time of the year
So let's decorate the tree
So the whole wide world can see
We've got the spirit
'Cause Christmas time is here

Oh oh waited all the year
