Lyrics

I'm gonna make a wish this (Eb)Christmas,

(Dbsus2)I'm gonna say a little prayer.

(Ab)I'm gonna stop here for a (Eb)moment,

before the (Dbsus2)moment disappears.

(Ab)The world's in a hurry this December,

(Dbsus2)the city streets and shopping malls.

(Fm7)I wish we could slow down and (Eb)remember

the (Dbsus2)meaning of it all.

(Ab)Wherever you are, no (Eb)matter how far,

come (Bbm7)back to the heart, the (Dbsus2)heart of Christmas.

(Ab)Live while you can,

(Eb)cherish the moment;

and the (Bbm7)ones that you love,

make sure they know it.

And (Fm7)don't (Eb)miss it:

the (Bbm7)heart of

(Ab)Christmas.

(Ab)Let's make it feel the way it used to,

(Dbsus2)let's find the wonder of a child.

(Ab)You could see the magic all around you;

come on and (Dbsus2)open up your eyes.

(Ab)You can find it in the warm (Eb)embrace of your family (Dbsus2)or calling up a longlost friend.

(Fm7)You can even find it in the (Eb)eyes of a stranger (Dbsus2)when you reach out a helping hand.

(Eb)Whermiss it:

the (Bbm7)heart of

(Dbsus2)Christmas.

In the shadow of a (Ab)steeple,

in a star that lights the way.

You will find

Him in a manger;

the heart of (Eb)Christmas has a name.

(Ab)I'm gonna make a this (Eb)Christmas,

(Dbsus2)I'm gonna say a little prayer.

(Ab)Wherever you are, no (Eb)matter how far,

come (Db)back to the heart, the heart of

(Ebsus)Christmas. (Ab)Live while you can and (Eb)cherish the moment;

and the (Bbm7)ones that you love,

make sure they know it.

(Ab)Wherever you are, no (Eb)matter how far,

come (Bbm7)back to the heart,
