[Verse 1]
We watch the children playing
Beside the Christmas tree
The presents are wrapped up, so beautiful
And secretly
The gifts you hide
The fun awaits for you inside
[Chorus]
Christmastime has come
There'll be toys for everyone
'Cause Christmastime has come for you
[Verse 2]
I remember dreaming
Wishing, hoping, praying for this day
Now we sit and watch them
The little ones I love
So excited by the wait
[Chorus]
Christmastime has come
There'll be toys for everyone
'Cause Christmastime has come for you
[Bridge]
And now the word is given
It's time to peek inside
It's time to let the toys out
So anxious for your look of joy
And delight
They've waited for
Just your surprise
[Chorus]
Christmastime has come
There'll be toys for everyone
'Cause Christmastime has come for you
Christmastime has come
There'll be toys for everyone
'Cause Christmastime has come for you
For you
For you
