In a (E)one bed room a part ment
on the (E)hum ble side of town,
there (E)stands a lit tle Christ mas tree;
it looks a lot like Char lie Brown’s.
And (B)un der neath there’s (Bsus)one lit tle gift for him,
and one lit tle gift for her.
Af ter (E)six months on the new job,
they’re still (E)bare ly get tin’ by.
So in the (E)way of dec o ra tions,
there’s noth in’ there to catch your eye.
But (B)both of them would (Bsus)be the first to (B)say,
“We’re to geth er; we’re gon na have the mer ri est Christ mas an y way.”
’Cause (E)Christ mas is all in the heart,
that’s where the feel ing starts.
And like a fire in side,
it touch es ev ’ry part.
Christ mas is all in the heart.
And (E)e ven if no white snow falls,
well, that’s al right be cause
the joy can still be found
wher ev er you are.
Christ mas is all,
(B)all in the heart.
Two lit tle (E)blond haired boys with big dreams tried to (E)sleep, but sleep would n’t come.
And we’d be (E)tear in’ in to pres ents
long be fore the break of dawn, with (B)Mom and Dad and (Bsus)cam ’ras mak in’ (B)sure
we’d nev er for get that day.
No, no, no.
Now I’m the (E)one who’s tak in’ pic tures
in the (E)mid dle of the night
of my own lit tle dream ers
who (E)just can’t wait un til day light.
And (B)in my sleep y eyes a spark still glows.
Well, I guess there’s just some things a kid nev er out grows.
’Cause
No, it’s not in the snow
that (F#m)may or may not fall,
and it’s not in the gifts be (G#)neath the tree.
It’s in the (A)love Heav en gave
that (F#m)night our (G#)Sav ior (C#m7)came, and (E)that same love
can still be (E)found wher ev er you are,
’cause (F#m)Christ mas is all in the heart.
And the joy can still be found
wher ev er you are,
’cause Christ mas is all,
(B)all in the heart.
It’s all in the heart.
