lyrics

Green needles tumble from the branch
Like snowflakes in the air
No presents rest to break their fall
No dolls or trucks laid there

Yet we gather round to thank the Lord
For blessings that She brings
And stare across the balding pine
All smiling as we sing

Christmas Day has come again
The world is lit anew
With endless possibilities
Of love for me and you

So let us not care on what lies
In boxes or on rings
For each other here and those not near
Thank God for love, not things

Christmas is love
God is love
Life is love
I love Christmas

The time for want has come and gone
Our prayers are answered now
No need to wonder when or why
And never mind the how

If you find eyes across your own
They're your best gift to share
For you and me, everybody
Have shed our trees to bear

Christmas Day has come again
The world is lit anew
With endless possibilities
Of love for me and you

So let us not care on what lies
In boxes or on rings
For each other here and those not near
Thank God for love, not things

Christmas is love
God is love
Life is love
I love Christmas
