[Verse 1]
Does anybody else feel like it takes forever to get to December?
Throw out the turkey, I just want some cocoa and Jingle Bells
Well, here's the thing, I can't make the days or the weeks go by any faster
But I believe that Santa's been busy making some magic for you and me
[Verse 2]
But if we could all be patient, we would see
Oh yes, we'll see
[Chorus]
It's hard to wait for Christmas
All the joy there is to share
Like cookies baking in the oven
The sweetest smell that fills the air
Let's hold our hope and shine our light
Before it's Christmas Eve
We know this season's so much more
Than presents and a tree
But honestly
It's hard to wait for Christmas
It's hard to wait for Christmas
[Verse 3]
Have you ever thought about how the wise men travelled for so long on camels to Bethlehem?
Would that be like we're on a road trip to Disneyland?
Oh, I bet that was one long camel ride
GPS a bright new star in the sky
And I bet they got impatient sometimes
And I think I kind of understand why
[Chorus]
'Cause it's hard to wait for Christmas
All the joy there is to share
Like cookies baking in the oven
The sweetest smell that fills the air
Let's hold our hope and shine our light
Before it's Christmas Eve
We know this season's so much more
Than presents and a tree
But honestly
It's hard to wait for Christmas
[Verse 4]
Let's share our hope and shine our light
Before it's Christmas Eve
'Cause if I'm honest, it feels nice
To give more than receive
But honestly
Even for grown-ups like me (1, 2, 3)
It's hard to wait for Christmas
It's hard to wait for Christmas
It's hard to wait for Christmas
It's hard to wait for Christmas
