I always cry at christmas
No matter how I try
To keep it all inside
Something will touch me
When I least expect it
And that sweet familiar sound
It'll turn my heart around
And suddenly the magic is everywhere

I always cry at christmas
Maybe I'm over do
From tryin' to be so strong
Or maybe it's just
The story of a baby
That this crazy world's forgotten for so long

How did we all forget
To love without regret
Just like that little baby tried
To teach us long ago
What if we all could live
To love and to forgive
Then everyday, there'd only be
Tears of joy

I always cry at christmas
Watching the children play
They haven't got a clue
That everything changes and there's
Little we can do
That hold them while we have them everyday

How did we all forget
To love without regret
Just like that little baby tried
To teach us long ago
What if we all could live
To love and to forgive
Then everyday, there'd only be
Tears of joy

I always cry at christmas
It's not that I'm sad and blue
Or down in anyway
It's just something will touch me
When I least expect it
And the love I feel is bound
To turn my heart around
And for the moment
Christmas magic is everywhere
