We finished this song just in time for Christmas 2004. There are never enough Christmas songs. - Elton, December 2004

Be sure to listen to the instrumental recording Rhesa made. It is one of his bests!



Lyrics

(Introduction)

(Chorus 1)
Do you feel a crispness in the air?
Autumn's past, yet something more is there
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The joyful, loving season we all share

(Chorus 2)
Lights that line the street are dancing bright
Stirring special feelings with the sight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight.

(Verse 1)
Oh, the winter's come to the meadow lands
As we're gazing out the windows of our home
Watching snowflakes fall in the starlit night
Reflecting all God's love that shines inside.

(Instrumental Chorus for 16 Measures)

(Bridge)
We cherish every moment on this special day.
This time's a gift from God
Let's share it with everyone along the way.

(Verse 2 - not in midi)
Hear the church bells sound through the peaceful town
Awakening God's Spirit in each soul.
As the children play on this Christmas Day
We are thankful for the joy we've come to know.

(Repeat Chorus 2)
Lights that line the street are dancing bright
Stirring special feelings with the sight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight.

(Tag ending)
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight.
Tonight, tonight.
(Whisper) Tonight
