Snow covered rooftops Lights on the trees The sound of singing I hear down every street Families have gathered From miles away Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day You see that old tree Down Cotton Lane Those lights keep shining It's always the same We hear the church bells Ring out to say Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day Swing the lights and hang the stockings Decorate with green and red Made the cookies for old Santa Made a runway for his sled Singing carols on a sleigh ride Gather 'round the manger scene Open presents, read the letter And together we will sing Oh, Merry Christmas Joy to the world For every nation For every boy and girl Let's light a candle For peace we pray Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day It's Christmas day It's Christmas day Let's light a candle For peace we pray Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day Oh, Merry Christmas It's Christmas day
