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 little prayer at night, be a child at Christmas time Only children understand what a merry heart can do Be a child and you'll agree ev'rything 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
