Though it's barely December I can already see The snow on the sidewalks And lights on the tree There's something 'bout Christmas Leads me to believe A child is still living in me Oh, I can still remember What it used to be like Dreaming of reindeer On Christmas Eve night One eye half open The other asleep It's funny what I chose to believe It's happens each time December draws near A child is reborn This time of year When I start wrapping the presents And hanging the lights Start making a list And checking it twice Start hanging and the mistletoe And off I go Back to what I used to be It's funny how Christmas Brings out the kid in me Sneaking into the kitchen Past the fireplace light Eating holiday cookies In the middle of the night I stare out the window Just to see all the lights The stars are shining brighter tonight When the family's together Swapping stories of old Don't they seem to get better The more that they're told And like all of the others I fight to resist Aunt Molly's yearly holiday kiss It's happens each time December draws near A child is reborn This time of year When I start wrapping the presents And hanging the lights Start making a list And checking it twice Start hanging and the mistletoe And off I go Back to what I used to be It's funny how Christmas Brings out the kid in me No matter how old you are No matter how long it's been You're never too far away From the child that lives within Start wrapping the presents And hanging the lights Start making a list And checking it twice Start hanging and the mistletoe And off I go Back to what I used to be It's funny how Christmas Brings out the kid in me Start wrapping the presents And hanging the lights Start making a list And checking it twice Start hanging and the mistletoe And off I go Back to what I used to be It's funny how Christmas Brings out the kid in me Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Brings out the kid in me Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas It's good to see the family Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Come and see the Christmas tree Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Eating holiday cookies Merry Christmas How I love this time of year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas It's good to see old friends again Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Brings out the kid in me, oh-oh...
