Fall in Love at Christmas Lyrics by Mariah Carey
The days are cold
Here amidst the drifts of snow
Just a metaphor of us
So many Christmases ago
We had a love so deep
Just like the joy the season brings
So let’s fall in love again this Christmas night
Ah, ah-ah
And every Christmas, I’ll be there
This time of year, we’re both aware
We gotta fall in love again at Christmastime
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we roll by
We gotta fall in love again at Christmastime
In the candle’s glow
I’m awake, but no one knows
Just waiting patiently to hear the sleigh bells jingle, there they go
And while the Northern Star lights the way, I dream of us
So let’s fall in love again this Christmas night
And every Christmas, I’ll be there
This time of year, we’re both aware
We gotta fall in love again at Christmastime
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we roll by
We gotta fall in love again at Christmastime
Fa-la-la, fall in love with the feeling
Fa-la-la, fall in love, trust, believe
We can fall in love again at Christmastime
Help me sing it again, yeah
Fa-la-la, fall in love, ’tis the season
Don’t forget there’s a reason
We gotta fall in love again at Christmastime
Oh, baby, we gotta fall
Christmas, I’ll be there
This time of year, we’re both aware
We gotta fall in love again at Christmastime
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we roll by
We gotta fall in love again this Christmastime
Oh, baby, we gotta fall (We gotta fall)
In love at Christmastime
Pom-pom, pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom
Pom-pom, pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom
Let’s go
I say we pray (Oh, come on)
Pray that we will find (We will find, pray that you’ll find)
A love for all mankind (All mankind, all mankind)
This Christmastime (What the world really needs)
We all need grace (We all need)
To heal our troubled minds (Grace)
It’s not that hard to find (This Christmas)
This Christmastime (This Christmastime)
Everyone together, we pray (Come on)
Pray that we will find (Unconditional love)
A love for all mankind (Mankind, here and now, y’all)
This Christmastime
We all need grace upon, grace upon, grace upon
Heal our trouble minds
It’s not that hard to find
This Christmastime
Listen, more than ever before
Love needs to be somethin’ we do, not somethin’ we say
This holiday season, let’s give love away (This Christmas)
