Lyrics
COULD IT ONLY FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY
CHRISTMAS IS A GIVING TIME
PRESENTS WRAPPED, RED AND GREEN, THE SCENT OF PINE
CHILDREN KNOW AS EVE DRAWS NEAR, THAT SANTA CLAUS WILL SOON BE HERE
BUT FIRST WE GO, TO SIT AND PRAY
WHILE SUNDAY SCHOOL PUTS ON THEIR PLAY
LITTLE MARY AND JOSEPH BEND IN AWE, AND ALL ARE HUSHED AROUND A BED OF STRAW
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME OF HOLY BIRTH
JESUS GIVES US HOPE FOR PEACE ON EARTH
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME THAT WE ALL PRAY
COULD IT ONLY FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS, EVERYDAY
FAMILY AT THE DOOR, ALL HUGS AND SMILES
THE KITCHEN'S WARM, TURKEY IN AWHILE
WE ALL JOIN AT THE TABLE AND BOW OUR HEADS
COME LORD JESUS BE OUR GUEST, LET THIS FOOD TO US BE BLESSED
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME OF HOLY BIRTH
JESUS GIVES US HOPE FOR PEACE ON EARTH
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME THAT WE ALL PRAY
COULD IT ONLY FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS
WOULD IT ONLY FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS
COULD IT ONLY BE LIKE CHRISTMAS, EVERYDAY
