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
You see that old tree down Cotton Lane 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 Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
Swing the lights and hang the stockings Decorate with green and red Made the cookies for old 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
Oh, Merry Christmas, joy to the world For every nation, for every boy and girl
Let's light a candle, for peace we pray Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day It's Christmas day, it's Christmas day, oh
Let's light a candle, for peace we pray Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day, oh, ooh
