Christmastime Lyrics

we watch the children playing
beside the christmas tree
the presents are wrapped up
so beautiful and secretly the gifts still hide
the fun awaits for you inside.

christmastime has come
there will be toys for everyone
'cause christmastime has come for you.

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

and the word is given
time to peek inside
time to let the toys out
waited for just your surprise.

christmastime has come
there will be toys for everyone
'cause christmastime has come for you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A song about happy memories. I can't help but feel it's sung sadly, though. Just the tone of it. Like it's something lost.

I love this song...this is my favorite Christmas song. If you haven't heard it, I suggest you do. It's kind of obvious what it's about...so I'm not going to write any "meanings". I'll just suggest it to you =).

I love the second verse, where he talks about the kids being excited and how he used to be like that. There's just something about it.
