Lyrics:
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing having fun
It’s the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Time for parties and celebration
People dancing all night long
Time for presents and exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs
Were gonna have a party tonight
Im gonna find that girl underneath the mistletoe
We’ll kiss by candlelight
Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs, we love to hear
All I wish that, every day was Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year
Were gonna have a party tonight
Im gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
Well kiss by candle light
Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
Its the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Ooh, Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is falling, all around me
Children playing, having fun
Its the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is falling, all around me
Children playing, having fun
Its the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Oh snow is falling, all around me
Children playing, having fun
Its the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
