Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Old man winter's coming on
The nights are long and the days are grey
The fadin' sound of a robin's song
Summer days seem a lifetime away
[Verse 3]
It's the time we look to each other
Raise our spirits, chase the blues away
The time of year we all get together
I see it comin', I can hardly wait
[Verse 4]
(When it's alright)
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(It takes all night)
Every time Christmas comes around
Feels so right, now, babe
[Verse 5]
Children's laughter and the snow on the ground
It starts to liftin' my heart up, babe
I feel the love and the joy all around
That's how I know that it's Christmas, darlin'
[Verse 6]
So glad that we've still got each other
And this love is a gift we'll exchange
But pray for peace for my sisters and brothers
Let's ring the bell and bring on the holidays
[Verse 7]
(When it's all right)
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(It takes all night)
Every time Christmas comes around
Merry Christmas, babe
[Verse 8]
Hey, now
[Verse 9]
So glad that we've still got each other
And this love is a gift we'll exchange
But pray for peace for my sisters and brothers
Let's ring the bell and bring on the holidays
[Verse 10]
(When it's alright)
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(It takes all night)
I know we're gonna stay up
[Verse 11]
(All night)
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(If it's alright)
Every time Christmas comes around
[Verse 12]
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(If it's alright)
I know we're gonna stay up
[Verse 13]
(All night)
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(If it's alright)
Every time Christmas comes around
[Verse 14]
(Alright)
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it
(It's a good life)
No time to be sad
(If it's alright)
