There's a feeling I get when I think of Christmas
There are faces I miss, all the ones not with us
Wrapping lights on a tree
Hanging each memory
For a moment the world is at peace
There's a feeling I get when I think of Christmas
There's a love between friends that knows no distance
Singing songs we all know
From a lifetime ago
And the time passes by like the falling snow
Memories, what used to be
As time moves on, won't you stay with me?
And never leave
There's a feeling I get when I think of Christmas
Just a glimmer of hope that I long to witness
Like a star appears
On a dark midnight clear
Merry Christmas to all
Raise a glass of good cheer
Everyone who can hear
Merry Christmas my dear
Merry Christmas to all
And a happy new year
Merry Christmas to all
And a happy new year
