That Time of Year - Brook Benton

Christmas always comes

This time of the year

Little girls and little boys

Dream of worlds full of toys

This time of the year

When Christmas is near

Evergreens are snowy white

Sleigh bells ring through the night

This time of the year

When Christmas is near

And somewhere near a steeple

People kneel and pray

And choirs sing

Carols of Christmas day

Santa Claus is on his way

Loads of joy on his sleigh

This time of the year

When Christmas is near

Hear the sleigh bells

Hear the sleigh bells

Hear the sleigh bells ring
