The season is u[Bb]pon us [F]now,
The [Bb]time for [C7]gifts and [F]giving,
As the year [Bb]draws to its [F]close,
[Bb]I think a[C7]bout my li[F]ving,
Christmastime when [Bb]I was [F]young,
The [Bb]magic [C7] and the won[F]der,
Colors dull and [Bb]candles [F]dim,
And [Bb]dark[C7]ness standing [F]under,
[Dm] Oh little [G]angel in [C7]shining [Bb]light,
[C7]You send my soul to [F]dreaming,
[Dm] You've given [G]back my [C7]joy in [Bb]life,
And [F]filled me [Bb]with new mea[F]ning.
[F] [C7] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C7] [F] [2]
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.
(twice):
Merry [Bb]Christmas, [C7]little [F]Zac, [Dm]
Merry [Bb]Christmas, [C7]every[F]one.
