[Verse 1]
G Am
Christmas Eve, a cold and frosty night,
D G
he stands looking down through his window.
G Am
And though the street below is filled with light,
D G
his room is filled with shadows.
C G D Em
It’s never good to be on your own,
C D
when sad old memories come crowding,
C G D Em
but the worst time to be alone
A D
is when Christmas stars are shining.

[Chorus]
Em C G
This is the time to be with those you love,
C G D
to be with friends and family, to remember Auld Lang Syne,
Em C G
if there’s a time to be with those you love,
Am C D
it’s here, it’s now, it’s Christmas time.
G Am
In the noisy, busy street below
D G
the Christmas lights in bright profusion,
G Am
shine on the people moving to and fro,
D G
in happy colourful confusion.
C G D Em
To the watcher by the window all this only serves
C D
to remind him of a loving heart he’d broken,
C G D Em
his only daughter lost to angry, bitter words,
A D
he wished to God he’d never spoken.

[Chorus]
Em C G
This is the time to be with those you love,
C G D
to be with friends and family, to remember Auld Lang Syne,
Em C G
if there’s a time to be with those you love,
Am C D
it’s here, it’s now, it’s Christmas time.
