Christmas is a time for children
Happy faces all aglow
Children like to have a birthday party
The little baby Jesus was a kid, you know
All around the world, kids understand
The reason for the holiday
To know that it's the way it's suppose to be
That Christmas is for children like you and me
For children like you and me

Candy, cookies, pie and cake
Christmas is for children
Lots of yummies mom would bake
Christmas is for children
Snow and snowmen, Christmas trees
Socks and presents, carols and wreaths
Mistletoe and lots of holly
It's the reason to be jolly
One more thing I'd like to say
Jesus Christ is born today
That's the reason I'm so happy
Knowing that it's Christmas!

Christmas is a time for children

The reason for the holiday
To know that it's the way it's suppose to be
That Christmas is for children like you and me
For children like you and me
When I go to bed at night
Every Christmas Eve
What's the use to try to sleep
In my make believe
Every time I close my eyes
I'm still wide awake
Guess I'll lie real still awhile
Close my eyes and fake

All around the world, kids understand
The reason for the holiday
To know that it's the way it's suppose to be
That Christmas is for children like you and me
Christmas is for children like you and me
For children like you and me
