Lyrics

It’s (F)not the glow you feel

when snow ap (Dm)pears.

It’s (F)not the Christ mas card

you’ve sent for (Gm)years.

Not the (Dm)joy ful sound

when sleigh bells (Bb)ring

or the (F)mer ry songs

chil dren (Gm7)sing.

The (F)lit tle gift you send

on Christ mas (Dm)Day

will (F)not bring back the friend

you’ve turned a (Gm)way

So, may (Dm)I sug gest

when sleigh bells (Bb)ring

or the (F)mer ry songs

chil dren (Gm7)sing.

The

the se cret of (Bb)Christ

mas

is

(F)not the things you do

at

(D7)Christ mas time,

but the (Gm)Christ mas things you do

(G7)all

(Gb7)year

(F6)through!
