Smokey Robinson, The Miracles - I Can Tell When Christmas Is Near lyrics

Ooh mmm

Snowflakes are fallin' and angels are callin'
The whole world be happy and sing
Soon there will come the day of days
When Christ was born a king
Stories of old and a way they are told
Carry children far in the past
To times when hope and charity
Were things that made love last

I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every house is warm as summertime
I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every heart celebrates each year
Mmm hmm

And then when it's night by a warm fireside
All your visions dance in the flames
Yuletide carols offer peace on earth
And no day is the same

I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every house is warm as summertime
I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every heart celebrates each year

La la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la la

Ah, the turkey is roastin'
And everyone's toastin'
To things that make life worthwhile
And someone is seeking a real special joy
For one little special guy
In all meditation, there is new salvation
A prayer of love toward all men
The meaning of Christmas brings
Joy to our life
It's felt deep down within, ah

I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every house is warm as summertime
I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every house is warm as summertime
I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every house is warm as summertime
I can tell when Christmas is near
'Cause every house is warm as summertime

La la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la
('Cause every house is warm as summertime)
La la
