Down through the ages
   Round this time of year
   People's hearts all a-glow
   Yuletide carols fill the air with cheer
   While children laugh and play out in the snow
   Lights on christmas trees
   And snowflakes fallin' down
   What a lovely site to see
   You will always know when christmas time is near
   You feel the need to be in harmony
   'Cause christmas time
   Is really more than givin'
   It's spreading all the news of peace and love
   Christmas time
   Is all about receiving
   The gift that god has sent from up above
  
   [instrumental interlude]
  
   People goin' here
   And people goin' there
   Buying gifts for those they
   Know and love
   Never stop to think
   That the greatest gift of all
   Is he who sends his love from up above
   Waitin' in suspense
   To open all my gifts
   It seems like the time just creeps along
   When we finally see the presents that we have
   We open up our hearts and sing this song
   That christmas time
   Is really more than givin'
   It's spreading all the news of peace and love
   Christmas time
   Is all about receiving
   The gift that god has sent from up above
   Christmas time
   Is really more than givin'
   Christmas time
   Is all about receiving
   Christmas time
   Spreading news of peace and love
   Christmas time
   The gift that god has sent from up above
   Christmas time
   Is really more than givin'
