[Verse]
Bells are ringing
Children are singing
The city glows like candlelight
Love is burning
Friends returning
Keeping warm by firelight
[Chorus]
And this is the time of year the snow starts to fall
With a cup of wine, singing Kirsty MacColl
Oh darling, I couldnât love you more
Yeah, yeah, itâs Christmas time!
[Verse]
Santaâs smiling
Children reminding
We gotta lot to love for
Yearâs turning
Love is burning
Family at the door
[Chorus]
And this is the time of year the snow starts to fall
With a cup of wine, singing Kirsty MacColl
Oh darling, I couldnât love you more
Yeah, yeah, itâs Christmas time!
[Verse]
So mull that wine,
Mull it over in time
We got another chance next year
Itâll all be fine
Further down that line
We got nothing left to fear
[Chorus]
And this is the time of year the snow starts to fall
With a cup of wine, singing Kirsty MacColl
Oh darling, I couldnât love you more
Yeah, yeah, itâs Christmas time!
[Verse]
So drink a toast
To those we lost
I can still see her smile
And keep close
The ones you love the most
Dream the dream for awhile
[Chorus]
And this is the time of year the snow starts to fall
With a cup of wine, singing Kirsty MacColl
Oh darling, I couldnât love you more
Yeah, yeah, itâs Christmas time!
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, itâs Christmas time!
