The season is upon us now

The time for gifts and giving
            
  Bb

As the year draws to its close

  Bb

I think about my living

Christmastime when I was young
    
  Bb    
  C7           
  F
The magic   and the wonder
                
  Bb      
  F
Colors dull and candles dim
    
  Bb  
  C7            
  F
And darkness standing under

  Dm

  C7

  Oh little angel in shining light

  C7                  
  F
You send my soul to dreaming

  Dm             
  G       
  C7     
  Bb
  You've given back my joy in life
    
  F         
  Bb          
  F
And filled me with new meaning

Verse 2:
A Savior King was born that day
A baby just like you
As the wise men came with gifts
I come with my gift too
Peace on earth fills up your time
And brotherhood surrounds you
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, everyone
