AS FAST AS IT CAME THIS YEAR
CHRISTMAS HAS GONE AWAY
WITH CHILD LIKE HEARTS WE WAITED
FOR OUR SPECIAL DAY TO APPEAR
AND AS IT APPROACHED
FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAME NEAR
ONLY IN MOMENTS TO DISAPPEAR
OH I ALREADY CAN’T WAIT UNTIL WHEN
OUR CHRISTMAS TIME COMES ONCE AGAIN
(BUT)__
(CHORUS):
WHY DO WE WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS
TO COME TOGETHER
WHY DO WE WAIT FOR A HOLIDAY
TO SHARE GIFTS AND LETTERS
OH GOD GAVE HIS LOVE TO SHARE
MORE THAN JUST ONE DAY A YEAR
SO WITH JOY AND PEACE IN MY HEART
JUST LIKE BETHLEHEM’S STAR
I WANT TO SHINE HIS LIGHT ON THE EARTH
TO TELL OF HIS BIRTH___
AND THAT’S WHY WE, SHOULD NOT WAIT
UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY
TO LOVE___
WITH GIVING HEARTS WE SHOPPED AROUND
SPENDING OUR MONEY THAT WE SAVED FOR BILLS
WITH CHILD LIKE HEARTS WE LINGERED
KNOWING THAT HE WOULD KEEP US STILL
AND WHEN THE DAY CAME
OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DREW CLOSE
ONLY TO RACE AWAY LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS
OH CHRISTMAS IS MORE THAN A PRESENT
UNDER THE TREE, WAITING FOR YOU__ AND FOR ME__
(OH)
(CHORUS):
(BRIDGE):
JUST LIKE THE JOY OF THAT FIRST CHRISTMAS MORN
FILLED UP WITH LOVE AND WITH HOPE AS OUR KING WAS BORN
MY HEART STILL PRAYS
EVEN TODAY
FOR EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY
THAT WE WON’T FORGET THE TRUE REASON WE ARE HERE
IS TO SPREAD HIS LOVE ALL AROUND
ALL THROUGH THE YEAR___
THROUGH THE YEAR_____
(CHORUS):
