It’s almost here, that time of year, how happy we would be, If ever you were moved to choose a Christmastime with me The mistletoe, strolls through the snow. O! How lovely they could be! If ever you were moved to choose a Christmastime with me... When all that had been dull begins to sparkle And all that once was dark begins to shine Of all the Christmas wishes that I’ve dreamed would come true, Is the one, where, for this New Year, you’d be mine! It’s getting late, and this can’t wait, the bell’s about to chime - But could you grant a miracle for me this Christmastime? Mmmm... Mmmm... All that has been dull now shines with sparkle, And all that once was dark now beams with light Of all the Christmas wishes that I’ve dreamed would come true, Is the one where Christmas morning, you’d be mine... so... Try not to laugh, but I can’t last another day apart, you see- So would you spend this Christmastime And maybe, too, next Christmastime, And all your future Christmastimes on a dream like you and me?

There is nothin’ like havin’ a holiday with your dear ones all around, sharin’ the joy and cheer you’ve gathered up all year and spread the love and light you found There is nothin’ like a knock upon the door, when you know that in a snap(!) You’ll be embracing one who always brings the fun, and makes you laugh in seconds flat. Even if you prefer, something smaller, I’m sure your little clan delights In snuggling up by the tiniest fire gettin’ cozy all through the night And if you’ve ever spent a holiday alone, just look around and you will find: You have been blessed, and you have left your lonely holidays behind. There is nothing like a warm and tender kiss, that is, at least, until you know What it’s like to share a warm and tender kiss beneath the mistletoe There is nothing like having a hand in yours, that is, at least, until it’s cold Because nothing beats that radiating heat, when you find you have a hand to hold Even if you’ve been hurt, and you’re on the alert, I’m sure your little heart will thaw When you get that lift from the tiniest gift that leaves you bright with awe! And if you’ve ever spent a holiday alone, just look around and you will find: You have been blessed, and you have left your lonely holidays behind. You’ve left all your lonely holidays behind, all your lonely holidays behind.

Christmas, Christmas time is near, time for toys and time for cheer We’ve been good but we can’t last. Hurry Christmas, hurry fast! Want a plane that loops the loop. Me- I want a hula hoop. We can hardly stand the wait. Please, Christmas, don’t be late.

Long ago, far away, life was clear, close your eyes... Remember is a place from long ago, remember filled with everything you know Remember when you’re sad and feeling down, remember turn around... Remember life is just a memory, (remember) close your eyes and you can see Remember think of all that life can be, remember... Dream, love is only in a dream, remember... Remember, life is never as it seems, dream... Dream, love is only in a dream, remember... Remember, life is never as it seems, dream- Long ago, far away, life was clear, close your eyes...

The closing of the night draws near, but I will see you soon, my dear
 We’ll button up, and settle down. So long, but not goodbye.
 The passing of the days speeds on, softened by this simple song,
 So merry, we are forward-bound, a twinkle in our eye
 
 Let’s leave behind the worried we, pursue our rightful destiny,
 And though your dearest may be far, they’re with you in your heart.
 
 The winter chill ensures a freeze of all these lovely memories,
 And once again will come around while humming “Auld Lang Syne.
 
 Mmmmmm....
 
 Let’s leave behind the worried we, pursue our rightful destiny,
 And though your dearest may be far, they’re with you in your heart.
 
 The winter chill ensures a freeze of all these lovely memories,
 And once again will come around while singing “Auld Lang Syne.”
 
 We too have paddled in the stream from morning sun to night
 But the seas between us broad have roared from Auld Lang Syne
 For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne
 We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne
