Lyrics for The Secret Of Christmas

It's not the glow you feel When snow appears It's not the Christmas card You've sent for years Not the joyful sound When sleigh bells ring Or the merry songs Children sing The little gift you send On Christmas day Will not bring back the friend You've turned away So may I suggest, the secret of Christmas It's not the things you do At Christmas time but the Christmas things you do All year through
