When it's snowing in December That's when I remember how it used to be I could smell my mama's cooking While Dad was outside looking for a Christmas tree Christmas time in summer is the way it is down under But the mood's the same When the presents were all open we'd have carols by the ocean While the children played One child was me And I still believe that's how it's meant to be On Christmas eve All around the world Everybody's wishes are the same For peace on earth It can happen if we try We all share this dream Underneath the same sky Now that I'm a mother Christmas has another kind of joy for me Giving not receiving To those who are in need Is what the season means Our children see through you and me That's how its meant to be On Christmas eve All around the world Everybody's wishes are the same For peace on earth So dream with me Cause you and I Are underneath the same sky Underneath the same sky
