(Sammy Cahn/James Van Heusen)

Look at the happy people
Christmas is in the air
Well I know the secret of Christmas
A secret I'm willing to share/

Ohhh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah

It's not the glow you feel
When snow appears (appears, appears)
Yeah, it's not the Christmas card
You've sent for years and years and years
Not the joyful sound
When sleigh bells ring (ring, ring, ring, ring)
Or the merry songs
Children sing

Yeah the little gift you send
On your Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend
You've turned away
So may I suggest
The secret of Christmas (the secret of Christmas)
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do
All year through, woah

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

So may I suggest
The secret of Christmas (the secret of Christmas)
But the Christmas things you do all year

Look at the happy people (It's not the things you do)
Christmas is in the air (It's not the glow you feel)
Well I know the secret of Christmas
A secret I'm willing to share

Hoah, hooah
Oh, oh, oh, oh

The secret of Christmas
The secret of Christmas
The secret of Christmas
Secret of Christmas, secret of Christmas
Oh, oh, oh, oh
