| Though it’s barely December | 
| I can already see | 
| The snow on the sidewalks | 
| And lights on the tree | 
| There’s something 'bout Christmas | 
| Leads me to believe | 
| A child is still living in me | 
| Oh, I can still remember | 
| What it used to be like | 
| Dreaming of reindeer | 
| On Christmas Eve night | 
| One eye half open | 
| The other asleep | 
| It’s funny what I chose to believe | 
| It’s happens each time | 
| December draws near | 
| A child is reborn | 
| This time of year | 
| When I start wrapping the presents | 
| And hanging the lights | 
| Start making a list | 
| And checking it twice | 
| Start hanging and the mistletoe | 
| And off I go | 
| Back to what I used to be | 
| It’s funny how Christmas | 
| Brings out the kid in me | 
| Sneaking into the kitchen | 
| Past the fireplace light | 
| Eating holiday cookies | 
| In the middle of the night | 
| I stare out the window | 
| Just to see all the lights | 
| The stars are shining brighter tonight | 
| When the family’s together | 
| Swapping stories of old | 
| Don’t they seem to get better | 
| The more that they’re told | 
| And like all of the others | 
| I fight to resist | 
| Aunt Molly’s yearly holiday kiss | 
| It’s happens each time | 
| December draws near | 
| A child is reborn | 
| This time of year | 
| When I start wrapping the presents | 
| And hanging the lights | 
| Start making a list | 
| And checking it twice | 
| Start hanging and the mistletoe | 
| And off I go | 
| Back to what I used to be | 
| It’s funny how Christmas | 
| Brings out the kid in me | 
| No matter how old you are | 
| No matter how long it’s been | 
| You’re never too far away | 
| From the child that lives within | 
| Start wrapping the presents | 
| And hanging the lights | 
| Start making a list | 
| And checking it twice | 
| Start hanging and the mistletoe | 
| And off I go | 
| Back to what I used to be | 
| It’s funny how Christmas | 
| Brings out the kid in me | 
| Start wrapping the presents | 
| And hanging the lights | 
| Start making a list | 
| And checking it twice | 
| Start hanging and the mistletoe | 
| And off I go | 
| Back to what I used to be | 
| It’s funny how Christmas | 
| Brings out the kid in me | 
| Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas | 
| Merry Christmas | 
| Brings out the kid in me | 
| Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas | 
| Merry Christmas | 
| It’s good to see the family | 
| Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas | 
| Merry Christmas | 
| Come and see the Christmas tree | 
| Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas | 
| Eating holiday cookies | 
| Merry Christmas | 
| How I love this time of year | 
| Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas | 
| Merry Christmas | 
| It’s good to see old friends again | 
| Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas | 
| Merry Christmas | 
| Brings out the kid in me, oh-oh… |
