Lyrics as released by Amy Grant 1992 'Home For Christmas'



It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Its the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
Its the hap- happiest season of all.

Therell be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And carolling out in the snow
Therell be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoe-ing and hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

(bridge)

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoe-ing and hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time'
It's the most wonderful time'
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
