Charles, Ray - Christmas Time Lyrics






Down through the ages
Round this time of year
People's hearts all a-glow
Yuletide carols fill the air with cheer
While children laugh and play out in the snow
Lights on christmas trees
And snowflakes fallin' down
What a lovely site to see
You will always know when christmas time is near
You feel the need to be in harmony
'Cause christmas time
Is really more than givin'
It's spreading all the news of peace and love
Christmas time
Is all about receiving
The gift that god has sent from up above

[instrumental interlude]

People goin' here
And people goin' there
Buying gifts for those they
Know and love
Never stop to think
That the greatest gift of all
Is he who sends his love from up above
Waitin' in suspense
To open all my gifts
It seems like the time just creeps along
When we finally see the presents that we have
We open up our hearts and sing this song
That christmas time
Is really more than givin'
It's spreading all the news of peace and love
Christmas time
Is all about receiving
The gift that god has sent from up above
Christmas time
Is really more than givin'
Christmas time
Is all about receiving
Christmas time
Spreading news of peace and love
Christmas time
The gift that god has sent from up above
Christmas time
Is really more than givin'
{fade}

    This song is NOT the one on The Spirit of Christmas. Take it from someone who just got the CD for Christmas. THIS song (in this video) is totally and completely different. Does anyone know what album this came out on? Or what year it was made?

    M.... W....

    +Paul Hewson Ihad heard this song back on christmas eve 1976 on the radio so it must be at least 39 years old

    M.... W....

    you are correct. this version was on ultimate christmas album volume 3

  24. M.... W....

    those of you who've lost a loved one during this time of year or near this time like I lost my dearly beloved mom and had to go thru the first Christmas without her was very very difficult indeed, I understand that others lost children, brothers, sisters during this time of year, this song can bring comfort and solace that they're in a much more beautiful place and not suffering in this world,  someday, we'll join them again and that everyday will be Christmas....forever.    God Bless you all

  25. M.... W....

    first of all, I just wanna say this to those who placed "DISLIKE" on this song, YOU HAVE NO SOUL. what I mean by that is that you have NO SPIRIT, you are cold. ..this particular song has real true authentic feeling and Christmas spirit within every single note and chorus. those who placed dislike, you are a bunch of grinches. he had no soul either.

  26. s.... ....

    This is my favorite Christmas song, ever.

  27. M.... ....

    I  love this

  28. b.... ....

    Great song

  29. c.... ....

    I love this song so much!

  30. T.... C....

    I feel your pain John. If you could only think of it as your mother's homegoing and what better day than the birth of our Lord. She continues to live in and through you. I hope you have a Merry Christmas 2013. I know that's what she would like for her son.

  31. S.... W....

    My father and mother both died on Christmas Eve, but I am grateful for the time that they were with us, and I miss them so very much.

    S.... W....
