GCrowded Cstreets, it's the Amseason
People Dmrushing desperately for the wrong Greasons
This time of Cyear voices are Amsinging
But we forDmget sometimes just why the bells are Gringing

As we Amwalk down memories' Emhalls
We see the Frows of family pictures on the Emwalls
Tell the Asus2story, write the Emsong
Of Fwho we are and where we all beGlong

Let this be CChristmas like the Ampast
Give your Dmheart and make it Glast
Remember Calways what it Ammeans
Keep it Dmtrue and keep it everGgreen

It's not Cgifts that we reAmceive
It's the Dmtime we spend together that we Gneed
And the Cpresents that we'll Ambe giving
Need no Dmpaper wrapped in shiny bows of Gribbon

It takes Asus2more than printed Emwords
To Flet someone you love know how you Gfeel
