Lyrics

Little girls and little boys
Dream of worlds full of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near, woah
Evergreens are snowy white
Sleighbells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
And somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And a choir sings
Caroles of Christmas day
Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
Written by: Cliff Owens, Jesse Hollis
