  • Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
    Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
    Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
    And a feeling that will last all through the year

    On the corner, carolers are singing
    There's a touch of magic in the air
    From grownup to minor no one could be finer
    Times are hard but no one seems to care
    Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
    Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
    But from rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
    They will find a way into your heart

    Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
    Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
    Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
    And a feeling that will last all through the year

    Just outside the window, snow is falling
    But here beside the fire we share the glow
    Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
    Sentiments that everyone should know
    Memories of the year that lays behind us
    Wishes for the year that's yet to come
    And it stands to reason that good friends in season
    Make you feel that life has just begun

    Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
    Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
    Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
    And a feeling that will last all through the year

    So when spirits grow lighter
    And hopes are shining brighter
    Then you know that Christmas time is here Writer/s: William Squier
