Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm gonna make a wish this Christmas
I'm gonna say a little prayer
I'm gonna stop here for a moment
Before the moment disappears
The world's in a hurry this December
The city streets and shopping malls
I wish we could slow down and remember
The meaning of it all
Chorus 1
Whereever you are, no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
And the ones that you love, make sure they know it
And don't miss it, the heart of Christmas
Verse 2
Let's make it feel the way it used to
Let's find that wonder of a child
You can see the magic all around you
Come on and open up your eyes
You can find it in the warm embrace of your family
Or calling up a long lost friend
You can even find it in the eyes of a stranger
When you reach out a helping hand
Bridge
In the shadow of a steeple, in a star that lights the way
You will find Him in a manger, the heart of Christmas has a name
Verse 3
I'm gonna make a wish this Christmas
I'm gonna say a little prayer
Chorus 2
Whereever you are, no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
And the ones that you love, make sure they know it
