Where are you Christmas? Why can't I find you? Why have you gone away? Where is the laughter, You used to bring me? Why can't I hear music play? My world is changing I'm rearranging Does that mean Christmas changes too? Where are you Christmas? Do you remember, The one you used to know? I'm not the same one See what the time has done Is that why you have let me go? Christmas is here, everywhere Oh, oh Christmas is here, if you care Oh If there is love in your heart and your mind You will feel like Christmas all the time Oh I feel you Christmas I know I found you You never fade away Oh The joy of Christmas Stays here inside us Fills each and every heart With love Where are you Christmas? Fill your heart with love
