When you are six
and don’t know many things
You don’t appreciate
what Christmas brings
But when you grow up
and are seven I hear
Christmas means
more every year

When you are nine Christmas
means there’s no school
You stay at home
having fun is the rule
But when you grow up
And are ten years it’s clear
Christmas means more every year

When you’re eleven old
You look at Mom and Pa
and you say to yourself
(you just say to yourself)
Does Christmas ever stop

Oooh, I hope not!

When you are twelve or
thirteen or much more
One day you’ll find out
what Christmas is for
No matter the birthday
that you’re getting near
Christmas means
more every year

Christmas means
more every year
