Don't You Know It's Christmas Time
By Ron Ciancioso and Michael Varela
Verse 1
Every Christmas eve the children start to wonder
And all their Christmas morning faces start to shine
‘Cause they wake up in the middle of the night
Search for the sight of traveling sleigh and reindeer
Running downstairs, hugging teddybears
Hoping their prayers will be answered this year
Chorus
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time all over the world
Verse 2
When it’s time to decorate the Christmas tree
They’ll be a gift for you, 19 for me
Jingle bells and Santa’s elves and candy canes
Mama’s hot gingerbread and papa’s old lionel trains
Repeat Chorus
(repeat chorus)
Bridge
Singing Christmas songs with nat king cole and bing
And all the whispering melodies the angels sing
Can you hear the sound of Christmas bells that ring?
Scores of children pause to hail the king.
Last chorus: don’t you know it’s Christmas time
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time
Don’t you know it’s Christmas time all over the world
Repeat Chorus
(repeat chorus)
