Christmas time comes but only once a year.
Reminding everybody that they should be of good cheer.
Families gather by the tree and sing,
About the happiness and brotherhood the season brings.
There's twinkling lights and mistletoes and carolers to hear.
The world around you fills with smiles this special time of year.

Chorus:
Oh, you can't stop the spirit of Christmas.
Because it touches everything you can see.
You can't stop the spirit of Christmas.
For that spirit lives inside you and me...
Inside you and me.

Christmas trees sparkle in the firelight,
And leaves you feeling everything is gonna be alright.
It's not about getting presents Christmas Day.
For giving, not receiving, is the Christmas way.
The bells ring out a song of peace and joy that never ends.
For us to sing out hand in hand with family and friends.

Chorus

The spirit of Christmas.
