CLOSING IN CHRISTIMAS (lyrics)

Swiftly, surely closing in Christmas
Very soon now it'll be knocking on the door
Lifting spirits, bringing good tidings
All the promise of happy things in store

(Chorus)
Do you hear sleigh bells ring? Oh what a joyous sound
Mixed in the myriad of bright lights all over town
Can you smell cinnamon, eggnog and spice in the air?
It is almost here

Singing carols, putting up decorations
Wrapping presents - all the pleasant chores
And we also look at the year behind us
Count the blessings to be thankful for

(Chorus)
And if there's something we worked for that didn't work out
Don't let that setback plant any seeds of doubt
New Year, it comes with a clean slate to try again
It is not the end

(Chorus)
And if there's someone we loved who was taken away
We are still here to remember them every day
Hold them up high and carry them in our hearts
Like shining stars

Swiftly, surely closing in Christmas
Very soon now it'll be knocking on the door
