"It's Christmas Time" lyrics

Oh what a wonderful winter it's been
We never turned our backs on the wind
We watched the snow fall down like a friend
After one too many

I can't believe that December is here
Yeah heaven knows it's been a hell of a year
I feel the cold harsh chill in the air
But it makes me happy

'Cause there's friends on planes full of hope
And I just can't wait to be home

It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Every light is shining bright in the sky
That's how you know
It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Every glass is overflowing with wine
That's how you know it's Christmas time

Oh what a long hot summer we had
But it's all over now and I'm glad
To be far away to be back with my hometown heroes
I'm seeing faces I ain't seen in a while
I got a beer and I got tears in my eyes
I sing along and I feel so alive
This is what I was missing

It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Every light is shining bright in the sky
That's how you know
It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Every glass is overflowing with wine
That's how you know it's Christmas time

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

There'll be tears
There'll be cheers
There'll be laughter
Hello's, goodbyes because after all

It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Every light is shining bright in the sky
That's how you know
It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time
Every glass is overflowing with wine
That's how you know it's Christmas time

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
