Verse 1
Oft as a child I’d long for the time
To see old Jack Frost and hear Christmas bells chime
We’d all gather round and help Mom trim the tree
And sing Christmas Carols in sweet harmony
Verse 2
There was Grandma and Grandpa with a gleam in their eye
As they looked to the east at the star in the sky
They smiled has they watched the kids play ‘neath the tree
I can still see old Benji laying ‘cross Grandpa’s knee
Chorus
Oh Christmas Oh Christmas the joy and the fun
When family and friends come together as one
The music and laughter quiet moments to say
Merry Christmas on this Christmas Day
Verse 3
The snow’s pilling up on the old window sill
The turkey’s been done now and we’ve all had our fill
The telephone’s ringing with more Christmas cheer
Must be Billy our friend he remembers each year
Repeat chorus
