The fireplace is burning bright, shining all on me I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree And I'll wait all night till Santa comes to wake me from my dreams Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me I see the children play outside like angels in the snow Mom and Daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe And we'll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me I've got this Christmas song in my heart I've got the candles glowing in the dark I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me I've got this Christmas song in my heart I've got the candles glowing in the dark I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us sing Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me I've got this Christmas song in my heart I've got the candles glowing in the dark And then for years to come we'll always know one thing That's the love that Christmas can bring Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me
