Sing a song of Christmas,
Oh holly, green and red,
Of icy, windy weather
Just right for skate and sled.
Sing a song of Christmas,
Oh candlelight aglow,
Of cookies and plum puddings,
Of freshly fallen snow.
Sing a song of Christmas
As shoppers homeward go,
Of cherry yule logs blazing,
Of stockings in a row.
Sing a song of Christmas,
Star-spangled skies above;
Christmas bells are ringing
Sweet songs of peace and love.
Sing a song of Christmas
May laughter, love, and cheer
Possess our hearts on Christmas day
And through a bright New Year.
