It′s been a long, long time
Since you said that you were mine
The best time to say it
Is at Christmas time
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I love you
(I, I love you)
All the world knows
What I need to see
A day when everything
Is jolly and gay
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I love you
(I, I love you)
I've been away
For a long, long time
Since I heard you say that you were mine
Can′t you see I love you so
And I wanna treat you so right?
Can't you see I really need you
To keep everything tight?
It's been a long, long time
Since I said that you were mine
I′d like to say it, baby
At Christmas time
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I love you
(I, I love you)
Don′t go away
Don't go away
Don′t go away
Don't go away, baby
Don′t go away
Got something, something I gotta say
It's been a long
I′ve been away a long, long time
Since I heard you say that you were mine
Can't you see, baby
I wanna love you so and treat you so right?
Can't you see I really need you
And keep everything tight?
It′s been a long, long time
Since you said that you were mine
But baby, I′d like to say it
At Christmas time
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I love you
(I, I love you)
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it, baby
Stop it
Stop it, baby
