C                  G               D          Em
The fireplace is burning bright, shining along me
C                  G               D
I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree
      C                   G               D          Em
And I wait all night 'til santa comes to wake me from my dreams
      C                   D         G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
   C                  G               D           Em
I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow
C                  G               D
While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe
   C                       G               D          Em
And we'll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be
      C                 D            G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

G               C                  G
I've got this Christmas song in my heart
G               D                 Em
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
Em           C                                Bm     Em
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
    C                               Bm     Em
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
    C                 D             G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

  C                  G               D          Em
I listen for the thud of raindeer walking on the roof
  C                  G               D
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon
  C                  G               D          Em
The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family
  C                  D             G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

G               C                  G
I've got this Christmas song in my heart  (Song in my heart)
G               D                 Em
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
Em           C                                Bm     Em
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
    C                               Bm     Em
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
    C                 D             G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

           C                  G
oooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh
G           D                 Em
oooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh
Em                 C                         Bm     Em
Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see
    C                 D             G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
G               C                  G
I've got this Christmas song in my heart
G               D                 Em
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
Em           C                                Bm       Em
And then for years to come we'll always know one thing
    C                 D           Bm     Em
That's the love that christmas can bring
    C                 D             G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
