Little faces wide with wonder at the Christmas tree

Make me think of Christmas as a child.

 

Throwing snowballs, writing Santa, wishing for a pony,

Takes me back to Christmas as a child.

 

Simple joys, lots of toys, easy to surprise.

Let me see Christmas time through a childŐs eyes.

Let me remember how it felt  before I grew old and wise.

Let me see Christmas time through a childŐs eyes.

 

Watching chestnuts slowly roasting in the fireplace

Makes me think of Christmas as a child.

 

Singing carols, telling stories, smelling cookies baking

Takes me back to Christmas as a child.

 

Helping out mom and dad trim the Christmas tree.

Hang a wreath upon the door for evŐry one to see.

Let me remember how it felt before I grew old and wise.

Let me see Christmas time through a childŐs eyes.

 

[Instrumental break]

 

Opening presents on Christmas morning.

Placing the baby in the stable.

Relatives visit for Christmas dinner.

Sitting at the little table.

 

Take me back to a time when

Toy trains still can mesmerize,

Snowmen dance and reindeer fly-------------

And I see Christmas

Through a childŐs eyes.
