I'm gonna make a wish this christmas
I'm gonna say a little prayer
I'm gonna stop here for a moment
Before the moment disappears
The world's in a hurry this december
City streets and shopping malls
I wish we could slow down and remember
The meaning of it all
Wherever you are, no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure they know it
Don't miss it, the heart of christmas
Let's make it feel the way it used to
Let's find that wonder of a child
You can see the magic all around you
Come on, and open up your eyes
You can find it in the warm embrace of your family
Or calling up a long lost friend
You can even find it in the eyes of stranger
When you reach out a helping hand
Wherever you are, no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure they know it
Don't miss it, the heart of christmas
In the shadow of a steeple
In a star that lights the way
You will find him in a manger
The heart of christmas has a name
I'm gonna make a wish this christmas
I'm gonna say a little prayer
Wherever you are, no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of christmas
Live while you can and cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure they know it
Wherever you are, no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure they know it
Don't miss it, the heart of christmas
