The Christmas spirit grows with each new day   And it's so close but seems so far away   And yet it comes only once a year   And 'fore you know it, it's already here      The streets are filled with laughter   And so many hearts are gay   Everybody helps to make the spirit bright   The houses turn on their Christmas lights at night      It's worth the wait the whole year through   Just to make happy someone like you   And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day      It's worth the wait the whole year through   Just to make happy someone like you   And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day      It's worth the wait the whole year through   Just to make happy someone like you
