Lyrics

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

I’m gon na say a lit tle prayer.

I’m gon na stop here for a (Eb)mo ment,

be fore the (Dbsus2)mo ment dis ap pears.

The world’s in a hur ry this De cem ber,

the cit y streets and shop ping malls.

I wish we could slow down and re (Eb)mem ber

the (Dbsus2)mean ing of it all.

Wher (Ab)ev er you are,

no (Eb)mat ter how far,

come (Bbm7)back to the heart,

the (Dbsus2)heart of Christ mas.

(Ab)Live while you can,

(Eb)cher ish the mo ment; and the (Bbm7)ones that you love, make sure they know it.

And (Fm7)don’t

(Eb)miss it: the (Bbm7)heart of

(Ab)Christ mas.

Let’s make it feel the way it used to,

let’s find the won der of a child.

You could see the mag ic all a round you;

come on and (Dbsus2)o pen up your eyes.

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

(Dbsus2)Christ mas.

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.

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

I’m gon na say a lit tle prayer.

Wher (Ab)ev er you are, no (Eb)mat ter how far, come (Db)back to the heart, the heart of (Ebsus)Christ mas.

(Ab)Live while you can and (Eb)cher ish the mo ment; and the (Bbm7)ones that you love, make sure they know it.

Wher (Ab)ev er you are, no (Eb)mat ter how far, come (Bbm7)back to the heart, the (Db)heart of Christ mas.

(Ab)Live while you can,

(Eb)cher ish the mo ment; and the (Bbm7)ones that you love, make sure they know it.

And (Fm7)don’t

(Eb)miss it: the (Bbm7)heart of

(Dbsus2)Christ mas.
