[C#] Christmas is the time of year for _ _ being [F#] with the ones [C#] we love, _ sharing so much joy and cheer.
What a [F#] wonderful feeling, _ [D#m] _ _ [F#] watching [C#] the ones we love, _ _ having so [G#] much fun.
I _ _ _ [C#] was sitting by the _ fireside, _ _ _ taking a walk through [C#] the snow, _ listening to a children's
choir singing songs [B] about [F#] Jesus, _ _ the blessed [C#] way that he came to all of us.
_ Why can't it be made?
_ [F#] Oh, [C#] _ _
[F#] through the [C#] year, _ [F#] _ _ each [C#] day the same, [F#] _ _ [C#] _ that's what [G#] I want to hear.
[C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
It's truly amazing, _ [F#] _ that spirit of Christmas, _ _ _ _ _

_ [G] The lovely Christmas [D] _ tree, _ hearts are [G] glowing full of [D] joy, says the gifts that we're _ giving,
[C] _ [G] and the love [D] that we're giving.
_ Why can't it be made?
