Lyrics
Merry Christmas To You
Big bright star in the midnight sky
Beaming down, shine a light on you
I'll say it once and I'll say it twice
Love is in the little things we do
Love is in the little things
And everything that's hopeful in this world
Do all the good you can
In all the ways you can
Merry Christmas to you
Living room filling up with kids
Making joyful noise around the room
Uncle George in his black wash plaid
Cousin Arabella looks so good
Gingerbread and candy canes
Cinnamon and cellophane for you
Do all the good you can
In all the ways you can
Merry Christmas to you
You string the lights
I'll hang the stockings
Light the fire and watch the candles glow
Love is the reason why we take the time to make the magic reappear
The wonder of it all
This time every year
Redbird and the chickadee
They have so much to sing about today
Sitting in a holly tree fat and happy
They must know it's Christmas Day
Love is in the little things
And everything that's hopeful in this world
Do all the good you can
In all the ways you can
Merry Christmas to you
Do all the good you can
In all the ways you can
Merry Christmas to you
