I Aguess it's the season the Dtime of the Ayear
When Apeople they're happy and Efull of good cheer
Well Athey'll wish you and kiss you and Dwish you aAgain
And they'll Atell you it's peace and good Ewill to all Amen

We Astood at the altar and Dyou held my Ahand
And Aeveryone watched as the Epreacher he asked
Will you Atake him and love him for Dbad and for Agood
AYou looked at me then you Etold him you Awould
[chorus 3]
But Dhey what did Ayou mean by that
PerEhaps I'm the fool you Atake Gme DforE  
                  A(4 measures)
Not anything more
[verse]
Now Aeach Christmas morning I Dsit in my Achair
And I look Aup at the angels that Efloat through the air
Some Alook down upon me, some Dcome to my Aside
And they Atell me that Jesus he Esaid to say Ahi
