The Secret of Christmas
Look at the happy people
Christmas is in the air
Well I know the secret of Christmas
A secret I’m willing to share
It’s not the glow you feel
When snow appears
Yeah, it’s not the Christmas card
You’ve sent for years and years and years
Not the joyful sound
When sleigh bells ring
Or the merry songs
Children sing
Yeah the little gift you send
On your Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend
You’ve turned away
So may I suggest
The secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do
All year through
Yeah the little gift you send
On your Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend
You’ve turned away
So may I suggest
The secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do
All year through
Listen to the song
