(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

Good Morning - Here it is 3am and I can't sleep. Logged on only to stumble upon this fantastically smooth and jazzy Christmas tune. I played it 3 times, then bought 2. This is a great listen year round. 2 Thumbs Up.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Shining o'er a stable far
Far away in space and time
Yet close and intimate I find
Hope that never fades away
In a manger, in the hay
