Be a child at Christmas time With a merry heart aglow Through a frosty window pane You can see the falling snow Trim the tree with candy canes Listen to the church bell chime Say a little prayer at nights Be a child at Christmas time Be a child at Christmas time Listen to the church bell, church bell chime Only children understand What a merry heart can do Be a child and you'll agree Everything is bright and new When the snow comes dancing down And you hear the church bell chime Let your heart be young again Be a child at Christmas time
