Lyrics
When the snow falls on Christmas, softly to the ground
Bringing memories of ages past, loved ones gathered 'round
Christmas cards and tinsel on the tree, smiling all the while
The memories we find of Christmas as a child
When I see my son and daughter with children of their own
And gaze with big-eyed wonder how quickly they have grown
Looking for their presents 'round the tree, gift wrap in a pile
There's joy in their eyes, Christmas as a child
My gift to you this Christmas when snow is falling down
To be just the two of us, memories of our own
I'll sing to you and take you in my arms and hold you for a while
There's a light in your eyes, Christmas as a child
As the fire slowly dies, on Christmas as a child
