Michael McDonald - Every Time Christmas Comes Around lyrics

(McDonald/Harris)

Old man winter's coming on

The nights are long and the days are gray

The fading sound of the robin's song

Summer days seem a lifetime away

It's the time that we look to each other

To raise our spirits and chase the blues away

That time of year when we all get together

I see it comin' I can hardly wait

[Chorus:]

It's all right I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it

It's a good life no time to be sad

I feel so right every time christmas comes around

Children's laughter and the snow on the ground

Starts lifting my heart up baby

I feel the love and the joy all around

That's how I know that it's christmas darlin'

So glad that we've still got each other

And this love is a gift we'll exchange

A prayer for peace for my sisters and brothers

Let's ring the bell and bring on the holidays
