Snow covered rooftops, lights on the trees
The sound of singing I hear down every street
Families have gathered from miles away
Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
Verse 2

Those lights keep shining, it's always the same
We hear the church bells ring out to say

Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day

String the lights and hang the stockings
Decorate with green and red
Made the cookies for ol' Santa
Made a runway for his sled

Singing carols on a sleigh ride
Gather 'round the manger scene
Open presents, read the letters
And together we will sing

For every nation, for every boy and girl
Let's light a candle, for peace we pray
Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
