Lyrics

we watch the children playing
beside the christmas tree
presents are wrapped up
it's beautiful, and secretly a gift still hides
the fun awaits for you inside

christmastime has come
there'll be toys for everyone
'cause christmastime has come for you

i remember dreaming
wishing, hoping, praying for this day
now i sit and watch them
the little ones i love so excited by the wait

christmastime has come
there'll be toys for everyone
'cause christmastime has come for you

and now the word is given
it's time to peek inside
it's time to let the toys out
so anxious for your look of joy and delight
they've waited for just your surprise

christmastime has come
there'll be toys for everyone
'cause christmastime has come for you

christmastime has come
there'll be toys for everyone
'cause christmastime has come for you

for you
