Lyrics
CHRISTMASTIME IN LOVE
Ken Morrison
There's magic in the city
It's in the children's eyes
And Christmas lights shine pretty
Like the stars hung in the skies
Within this spell I'm under
You wonder why I cry
Well, these are tears of happiness
And this is my reply
Spending Christmastime in love
Brightens everything you see
There's so much more to greeting cards
And presents 'neath the tree
I still believe in Santa Claus
It looks a bit like snow
'Cause there's spirit in my holiday
Beneath the mistletoe
Spending Christmastime in love
That's all that's on my list
Stockings by a fire
On the mantle
Won't be missed
The warmth within your loving eyes
Will give my heart a lift
So happy just to realize
Your love's the perfect gift
Spending Christmastime in love
We'll dream of years to come
We'll make a toast to happiness
As we sip hot buttered rum
The music of the carolers
Will become our lullaby
As we tiptoe off to slumberland
Beneath a Christmas sky
Spending Christmastime in love
Just sounds so very fine
It's where I'll stay
Through New Year's Day
As the band plays Auld Lang Syne
Hold me through each new year
All blessed from high above
I pray we'll spend each Christmastime in love
