The Spirit of Christmas Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

The holiday hot fire, the tenser the tree
The home folks, the handshake
The carol song off-key
The kids hearing stories on grandfather′s knee
That's the spirit of Christmas

The presents all piled in the back of the car
The riff in the window, the Bethlehem star
The faith of the wise men who travelled so far
That′s the spirit of Christmas

We try to surprise one another
It's better to give than receive
But why don't we just give each other
The faith to be strong and believe?


The sweet happy laughter of children at play
The clear far-off jingle of bells on a sleigh
The love of the man who was born on this day
That′s the spirit of Christmas

That′s the spirit of Christmas

We try to surprise one another
It's better to give than receive
But why don′t we just give each other
The faith to be strong and believe? (Just believe)

The sweet happy laughter of children at play
The clear far off jingle of bells on a sleigh
The love of the man who was born on this day
That's the spirit of Christmas

The love of the man who was born on this day
That′s the spirit of Christmas
