I’m gon na make a wish this (Eb)Christ mas,

You could see the mag ic all a round you;

You can find it in the warm (Eb)em brace of your fam i ly
or call ing up a long lost friend.
You can e ven find it in the (Eb)eyes of a stran ger when you reach out a help ing hand.
Wher (Eb)miss it: the (Bbm7)heart of

In the shad ow of a stee ple, in a star that lights the way.
You will find Him in a man ger; the heart of (Eb)Christ mas has a name.
