Can you hear the birds a-singing
All around the world tonight
Singing softly, calling through
The cloud of needs and smiles a-bright
Chorus
Oh! Christmas ’twill soon be here
It’s nearing that time of year
The air will fill with Christmas cheer
When love abounds in hearts so dear
Can you see the flowers swaying
Perfumed, sometimes serene stills
Posing or in lost valley
Painted fields and fluorescent hills
Chorus
Oh! Christmas ’twill soon be here
It’s nearing that time of year
The air will fill with Christmas cheer
When love abounds in hearts so dear
Can you know the little creatures
Bounding through our nature’s store
Sensing a change of season
Reflecting life’s sweet gift and more
Chorus
Oh! Christmas ’twill soon be here
It’s nearing that time of year
The air will fill with Christmas cheer
When love abounds in hearts so dear
Can you feel the joy crescendo
Trying to find its release
Showing all, life is precious
May love and peace forever increase
When love abounds in hearts so dear
The air will fill with Christmas cheer
It’s nearing that time of year
Oh! Christmas ’twill soon be here
