Because it's Christmas

The snow is falling again
It looks a wonderland
But I'm stuck in traffic behind all these red lights
So I call you up and sigh
'Cause I forgot the pumpkin pie
You say, "It's all right, we'll still have a wonderful night"

Just take your time and slow it down
And let your heart hear the joyful sounds

Because it's Christmas
Love is filling the air
Because it's Christmas
The thrill of hope is everywhere
So let the music play
And let your worry melt away
Because it's Christmas

Back home the fire's bright
And the tree is full of lights
But the family's coming and there's so much work to be done
So you call me up and say
"Could you hurry on your way?"
I say, "Hold on, tonight will be so much fun"

Just take a breath, and say a prayer
And before you know it I'll be there

Because it's Christmas
Love is filling the air
Because it's Christmas
The thrill of hope is everywhere
So let the music play
And let your worry melt away
Because it's Christmas

And this world's so loud and busy
Sometimes we forget just why
We celebrate this time each year
And if you listen close the angels cry
The whole world sings the reason why

Because it's Christmas
Our savior's born tonight
It's Christmas

Fa-la-la-la
Christmas
Love is filling the air
Because it's Christmas
The thrill of hope is everywhere
So let the music play
'Cause Jesus Christ was born today
And it's Christmas

Oh, it's christmas
Yes, it's christmas
Oh, it's christmas
