Michael W. Smith's "Christmas Waltz" is a cheerful holiday song that captures the festive spirit of the season. It paints a cozy picture of frosted windows, glowing candles, and candy canes, while mentioning Santa's arrival with gifts. The lyrics emphasize the joy and love that fill the world at Christmastime, with every song seeming to wish listeners a Merry Christmas and happy New Year. The waltz rhythm adds a nostalgic, warm feel. While it references Christmas traditions, it does not focus on the religious meaning of the holiday, making it more of a secular Christmas tune.

Frosted window panes
Candels gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
Frosted window panes
(See them gleaming)
Candels gleaming inside (with the snow)
Painted candy canes
(See them showing)
On the tree
Just look and you'll see
Santa's on his way
(That's why sliegh bells are ringing)
He's filled his sleigh
(And that's why were all singing)
With Things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
(Time for falling)
When the world falls in love
(So in love)
Every song you hear
(Happy song)
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
(May all)
May your New Year's dreams come true
(May may all come true)
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
(You and yours)
The same thing too!
