THAT'S WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME
(Nick Acquaviva / Ted Varnick)

as recorded by Eddie Fisher
with Hugo Winterhalter & his
Orchestra  1952


To see my folks and all my friends again,
Around the family Christmas tree,
To feel the spirit of goodwill t'ward men,
That's what Christmas means to me!

To hear the sleigh bells ringing soft and clear,
While people sing because they're free,
To hear my neighbour wish me joy and cheer,
That's what Christmas means to me!

Know there will be stockings filled with toys
For all the lonely little girls and boys,
And in my heart the feeling is so grand
To know I've helped the ones the need a hand.

To look through windows trimmed in green and red 
And pray for all eternity,
To see the star of peace shine overhead,
That's what Christmas means to me!

To look through windows trimmed in green and red 
And pray for all eternity,
To see the star of peace shine overhead,
That's what Christmas means to me,
That's what Christmas means to me!
