Well, it’s time to trim the Christmas tree and sing the old-time melodies
To feel the peace and harmony which everyone should feel
To wrap the presents, tie the bows, watch the special t.v. shows
To be real good cause Santa knows, yes, Christmas time is here
It may say Christmas on the calendar, and snow may cover all the earth
Stockings hang upon the hearth and singing fill the air
But I just can’t catch the memory or feel the peace and harmony
I guess it’s just not Christmas until it’s Christmas in your heart
I recall some friends from long ago, and wonder why I let them go
Perhaps that’s why I can’t recall the Christmas of my thoughts
I used to love the pretty lights, the way they’d sparkle in the night
But something’s lost to make it right, I just can’t bring it near
It may say Christmas on the calendar, and snow may cover all the earth
Stockings hang upon the hearth and singing fill the air
But I just can’t catch the memory or feel the peace and harmony
I guess it’s just not Christmas until it’s Christmas in your heart
Well, mornings come and mornings go, Christmas Eve we’ll see the snow
Santa’s elves will make a show, I wish I shared their cheer
But I just can’t wrap the presents right, the treetop doesn’t want to light
Perhaps I’ll give it one more night, perhaps another year
It may say Christmas on the calendar, and snow may cover all the earth
Stockings hang upon the hearth and singing fill the air
But I just can’t catch the memory or feel the peace and harmony
I guess it’s just not Christmas until it’s Christmas in your heart
No, I guess it’s just not Christmas until it’s Christmas in your heart
