When Christmas Comes Around

[Verse 1]
The snow is falling, soft and slow (Ooh, yeah!)
The fire’s crackling, embers glow
The fiddle drones, the banjo rings
We're thankful for the simple things

[Chorus]
When Christmas comes around
Around
We sing
We dance
We pass it down
The laughter flows
The joy is found
It’s love that lingers
When Christmas comes around

[Verse 2]
A toast is raised, the glasses ring (Ooh, yeah!)
Old voices join, the young ones sing
The floorboards creak beneath our feet
The rhythm makes the night complete

[Chorus]
When Christmas comes around
Around
We sing
We dance
We pass it down
The laughter flows
The joy is found
It’s love that lingers
When Christmas comes around

[Bridge]
Oh
The world outside is cold and grey
But in this room, the music plays
Hearts entwined in harmony
A song of joy, a memory

[Chorus]
When Christmas comes around
Around
We sing
We dance
We pass it down
The laughter flows
The joy is found
It’s love that lingers
When Christmas comes around

[Chorus]
When Christmas comes around
Around
We sing
We dance
We pass it down
The laughter flows
The joy is found
It’s love that lingers
When Christmas comes around
