Bb F
The season is upon us now,
Bb C7 F
The time for gifts and giving,
Bb F
As the year draws to its close,
Bb C7 F
I think about my living,
Bb F
Christmastime when I was young,
Bb C7 F
The magic and the wonder,
Bb F
Colors dull and candles dim,
Bb C7 F
And darkness standing under,
Dm G C7 Bb
Oh little angel in shining light,
C7 F
You send my soul to dreaming,
Dm G C7 Bb
You've given back my joy in life,
F Bb F
And filled me with new meaning.
FCBFBCF2
Verse 2:
A Savior King was born that day,
A baby just like you,
As the wise men came with gifts,
I come with my gift too,
Peace on earth fills up your time,
And brotherhood surrounds you,
You may know the warmth of love,
And wrap it all around you,
It's just a wish, a dream, I'm told,
From days when I was young.
(twice):
Bb C7 F Dm
Merry Christmas, little Zac,
Bb C7 F
Merry Christmas, everyone.
