F Bb F
Just outside the window snow is falling
F Dm Gm
But here beside the fire we share the glow
Bb G F Dm
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
Gm C
Sentiments that everyone should know
F Bb F
Memories of the year that lays behind us
F Dm Gm
Wishes for the year that's yet to come
Bb G F Dm
And it stands to reason that good friends in season
Gm C F
Make you feel that life has just begun
[Chorus]

So when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shining brighter

Then you know that Christmas time is here.
