Christmastime, I can smell it
Smoke from fires in the air
Hearts prepared for the Baby
Anticipation everywhere
Gifts will be given
But let it not be forgotten, that...

Oh, when the Baby grew up
The Boy became a Man
Oh, when the Baby grew up
He led my soul to the Promised Land, yeah
Oh, when the Baby grew up
The child became a Man, yeah
I learned when the Baby grew up
What I can't do, well, love can

Christmastime, I can watch it
Alastair Sim's playing Scrooge
And I love when he wakes up
Christmas morning, in a Christmas mood
Singers will be singing
But let it not be forgotten, that...

Oh, when the Baby grew up
The Boy became a Man
Oh, when the Baby grew up
He led my soul to the Promised Land
Oh, when the Baby grew up
The child became a Man
I learned when the Baby grew up
What I can't do, well, love can
Christmastime, I can feel it
See the pastor shed a tear
As he reads from the gospel
The angels to the shepherds: "Have no fear"
Gifts will be given
Singers will be singing
Bells will be ringing
But let it not be forgotten, that...

Oh, when the Baby grew up
The Boy became a Man
Oh, when the Baby grew up
He led my soul to the Promised Land
Oh, when the Baby grew up
The child became a Man
Yes, He did, yes, He did
I learned when the Baby grew up
What I can't do, well, love can

What I can't do, well, love can
What I can't do, well, love can
Say, what I can't do, well, love can
What I can't do, well, love can
