|
The season is upon us now
|
A time for gifts and giving
|
And as the year draws to its close
|
I think about my living
|
The Christmas time when I was young,
|
The magic and the wonder,
|
But colors dull and candles dim,
|
And dark my standing under
|
O little Zachary, shining light
|
You've set my soul to dreaming
|
You've given back my joy in life
|
And filled me with new meaning
|
|
A Savior King was born that day,
|
A baby just like you,
|
And as the Magi came with gifts,
|
I come with my gift too
|
That peace on Earth fills up your time,
|
That brotherhood surrounds you.
|
|
That you may know the warmth of love,
|
And wrap it all around you
|
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
|
From days when I was young
|
|
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
|
Merry Christmas, everyone
|
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
|
Merry Christmas, everyone
|
