Lyrics
Christmas time is coming through the air
Trees and lights and presents meant to share
A gift is almost anything
It’s the joy that live can bring
It’s the smile on faces everywhere
Let’s light up the windows after dark
Build a funny snowman in the park
And hear the children caroling
Making magic as they sing
All I want for Christmas is your heart
Let’s light up the windows after dark
Build a funny snowman in the park
And hear the children caroling
Making magic as they sing
All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is your heart
