Gold cardboard angels --- popcorn on string One matchbox manger not fit for a King Old decorations going back in their box Down came the Christmas tree -- Just a child in its spot And I was that child asking my Daddy why Some things just come when it's Christmas time Chorus Tell me where Christmas goes After all the gifts and snow I hope it doesn't go far Daddy said close your eyes Remember when and you will find That it's right where you are Cause Christmas goes right to your heart Two little people look up from their beds No bedtime stories --- just questions instead How do reindeer fly and where do they live? And do little elves really make all the gifts that Santa gives Oh I was that child asking my Daddy why Now I look at their faces through my Daddy's eyes Tell me where Christmas goes After all the gifts and snow I hope it doesn't go far Daddy said close your eyes Remember when and you will find That it's right where you are Cause Christmas goes right to your heart
