Christmas Time Songtext
von Ray Charles

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 fallin′ down
What a lovely sight it is to see
You will always know when Christmastime is near
You feel the need to be in harmony

'Cause Christmastime is really more than givin'
It′s spreading all the news of peace and love (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Christmastime is all about receiving
The gift that God has sent from up above (oh-oh, oh-oh)


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 Christmastime is really more than givin'
It′s spreading all the news of peace and love (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Christmastime is all about receiving
The gift that God has sent from up above (oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Christmastime) is really more than givin'
(Christmastime) is all about receiving
(Christmastime) spreading news of peace and love
(Christmastime) the gift that God has sent from up above
(Christmastime) is really more than givin′
(Christmastime) is all about receiving
