The Christmas spirit grows with each new day 
And it's so close but seems so far away 
And yet it comes only once a year 
And 'fore you know it, it's already here 
The streets are filled with laughter 
And so many hearts are gay 
 
Everybody helps to make the spirit bright 
The houses turn on their Christmas lights at night 
It's worth the wait the whole year through 
Just to make happy someone like you 
And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day 
 
It's worth the wait the whole year through 
Just to make happy someone like you 
And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day 
 
It's worth the wait the whole year through 
Just to make happy someone like you
