as long as there's christmas

it's getting to be that time of year

when the snow piles up outside my window

the smell of evergreen is in the air

and frosty

the snowman's on the radio

climb up to the attic

the coloured lights

rolled up in old newspaper

the plastic baby jesus

the three wise men

and their gold frankincense and myrrh

i know that i'm gonna have trouble

sleeping christmas eve

and i think i will

when i'm a 103

as long as there's christmas

there'll always be

a little bit of a little girl in me

a wide-eyed child inside all of us

will always be there

as long as there's christmas

as long as there's christmas

i'm walking in a winter wonderland

while thoughts of home run through my head

all the family will soon be there

and rudolf's nose will be shining red

all the cardboard boxes filled to the brim

with our old decorations

silent night sings the choir with all of us

and all the congregation

there's a stocking with my name on it

over the fireplace

and i hope that old st. nick

he won't be late

as long as there's christmas

there'll always be

a little bit of a little girl in me

a wide-eyed child inside all of us

will always be there

as long as there's christmas

i'll stay young

forever young at heart

as long as there's christmas

there'll always be

a little bit of a little girl in me

a wide-eyed child inside all of us

will always be there

as long as there's christmas

as long as there's christmas

as long as there's christmas

ooh
