Ray Charles - Christmas Time

Down through the ages, 'round this time of year
People's hearts all aglow
Yuletide carols fill the air with cheer
While children laugh and play out in the snow

Lights on christmas trees and snowflakes falling 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

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 giving
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 giving
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 giving
