What Christmas Means To Me (Oh, Holy Night)

I was just eight years old
Waiting for the falling snow
To tell me the Holidays were near
To some he was a fantasy
But oh he seemed so real to me
Old St. Nick bringing Christmas cheer

I could not wait to see the wondrous gifts he had for me
Cause I had done my best to be the kind of kid he wanted me to be
That's what Christmas meant to me

Then I was twenty-nine
Seeing Christmas through my children's smiles
All the wonder and the majesty
Though I still love the snowy eaves
The memories, the Christmas trees
Oh they paled in comparison

To see them standing patiently
Waiting for the gifts they would receive
Cause I had done my best to be the kind of dad they wanted me to be
That's what Christmas meant to me

Then I heard a simple song
That changed the world for everyone
For Christ had come to show us a better way
What happened on a Silent Night
A baby born to give us life
And I heard the angel choir sing
They sing

Oh, holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear Savior's birth

Now I am forever changed
And Christmas is my favorite day
For love has come to loose us from chains
And underneath all the things
From mistletoe to the bells that ring
Runs the same beautiful refrain

And I can hardly wait to see the gifts He has for you and me
For we could never do enough to earn this great, amazing love
And oh, that's what Christmas means to me

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night, when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, oh night divine
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Oh, holy night
