"Christmas Time Is Here Again" lyrics

Once a year the time stands still
We're crowding every town
Empty streets and shops are filled
And faces lose their frown
Always changing day by day
Good things come to show
All because a child was born
A long, long time ago

Things will change but one remains
And will forever be

Now's that favorite time of year
Smiling faces everywhere
Hear the bells are ringing, children singing
Christmastime is here again

Childhood and dreams and evergreen
The smell of Christmas trees
Everywhere, whiter it seems
To bring back memories

All that we are longing for
Are happy days again
Every sign reminds us of
Where it all began

Things will change but one remains
And will forever be

Now's that favorite time of year
Smiling faces everywhere
Hear the bells are ringing, children singing
Christmastime is here again
Now's that favorite time of year
Smiling faces everywhere
Hear the bells are ringing, children singing
Christmastime is here again

Even in this day and age
The story lingers on
Everything we celebrate
Leads back to the one

Now's that favorite time of year
Smiling faces everywhere
Hear the bells are ringing, children singing
Christmastime is here again
Now's that favorite time of year
Smiling faces everywhere
Hear the bells are ringing, children singing
Christmastime is here again
