               Bb     F
The season is upon us now
    Bb       C7        F
The time for gifts and giving
            Bb           F
As the year draws to its close
Bb       C7        F
I think about my living
                   Bb    F
Christmastime when I was young
    Bb    C7           F
The magic   and the wonder
                Bb      F
Colors dull and candles dim
    Bb  C7            F
And darkness standing under
Dm          G        C7      Bb
  Oh little angel in shining light
C7                  F
You send my soul to dreaming
Dm             G       C7     Bb
  You've given back my joy in life
    F         Bb          F
And filled me with new meaning

Verse 2:
A Savior King was born that day
A baby just like you
As the wise men came with gifts
I come with my gift too
Peace on earth fills up your time
And brotherhood surrounds you
You may know the warmth of love
And wrap it all around you
It's just a wish, a dream, I'm told
>From days when I was young

(twice):
      Bb         C7     F       Dm
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
      Bb         C7   F
Merry Christmas, everyone
