D                 G              D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 D                 Bm                Em
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
 G                E               D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 Bm     Em               A                    D
And a feeling that will last all through the year

[Verse]
 D                G           D
On the corner carolers are singing
 D                   Bm           Em
There’s a touch of magic in the air
 G               E        D             Bm
From grownup to minor no one could be finer
 Em                                 A
Times are hard but no one seems to care
 D                 G                 D
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
 D                 Bm                  Em
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
 G                 E             D           Bm
From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
 Em           A                    D
They will find a way into your heart

[Chorus]
 D                 G              D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 D                 Bm                Em
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
 G                E               D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 Bm     Em               A                    D
And a feeling that will last all through the year

[Solo]
D  G  D  D  Bm  Em  G  E  D  Bm  Em  A  D

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

[Chorus]
 D                 G              D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 D                 Bm                Em
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
 G                E               D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 Bm     Em               A                    D
And a feeling that will last all through the year

  G                    E          D                   Bm
So when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shinin' brighter
 Em                        A          D
Then you know that Christmas time is here
