Through a frosty window pane, you can see the fall - ing snow.

Trim the tree with candy canes, listen to the church bell chime;

Am7  Cdim   G9        E7      Cdim   C   C/B  Cdim    D7   G
Say little prayer at night, be  a  child at  Christ - mas time.

Only children understand what a merry heart can do;

Be a child and you'll agree ev'rything is bright and new.


G5       Em7         G5     Em7  G5                G     G5   Cdim  C
When the snow comes dancing down and you hear the church bell chime,

Am7      Cdim      G9     E7      Cdim  C   C/B  Cdim    D7   G
Let your heart be young again -- be a child at  Christ - mas time.
