Oh it's Christmastime again
And we're all a little older.
Life rushes like the wind, and the year's already gone.
And some people that I love
Said goodbye and crossed on over,
But I'll hold them in my heart as I sing this song.
CHORUS:
I'm gonna sing
`Til I can't sing no more.
Can't worry when you're singing,
Maybe that's what singing's for.
Gonna sing,
And the world won't seem so weary.
Singing songs of cheer and hope and joy and love,
Gonna sing.
Oh it's Christmastime again
And I think about my mother,
And I think of my old friends, haven't seen them in so long.
And each year when Christmas comes
I think about my father,
And I'll hold him in my heart as I sing this song.
Oh it's Christmastime again
And the world's still full of trouble
In places that I've been and in ones I've never gone.
And there's people I don't know
Leading lives of hope and struggle.
And I'll hold them in my heart as I sing this song.
