I sang about Rudolph and jingle bells
Strung popcorn and lights on the tree
Counted the seconds til Santa's arrival
And dreamt of a white Christmas Eve
Through my eyes as a child
The stars shone so much brighter
Giggled and played without a care
The sparkle of angels in the air
Oh spirit of Christmas take me back
To that magic of innocent wonder
To a world full of hugs and caring smiles
And cookies that made my mouth water
Oh sweet, sweet spirit of Christmas
Don't let me forget how to be
That little kid I used to be
Mailed my list of wishes to elves up north
Had once a year visits with loved ones
Classic movies and grandma's desserts
Old and new traditions
Through my eyes as a child
The stars shone so much brighter
Giggled and played without a care
The sparkle of angels in the air
Oh spirit of Christmas take me back
To that magic of innocent wonder
To a world of hugs and caring smiles
And cookies that made my mouth water
Oh sweet, sweet spirit of Christmas
Don't let me forget how to be
That little kid I used to be
From stockings and ribbons, presents and bows
To candy canes and comforts of home
To precious moments remembered
To never growing old forever
Through my eyes as a child
The stars shone so much brighter
Giggled and played without a care
The sparkle of angels in the air
Oh spirit of Christmas please take me back
To that magic of innocent wonder
To a world full of hugs and caring smiles
And cookies that made my mouth water
Oh sweet, sweet spirit of Christmas
Don't let me forget how to be
That little kid I used to be
