It's chaos in the car seats, heading south on 65
They're asking "Are we there yet?"
Every minute of the drive

To be together at Christmas time

The last flight out was canceled
'Cause of unexpected snow
She's sleeping in the terminal
With the whole world headed home

To be together at Christmas time

Oh, when you open up that door
To old familiar rooms of love and laughter
Coming home just the way you are
Knowing this is all that really matters

To be together at Christmas time

I'm singing out this song 'til every lonely soul has heard
We're not alone 'cause love has put his arms around the world

To be together at Christmas time

So every time that lonely feeling comes around again
Listen, love is knocking
Yeah, wanting to come in

To be together, to be together

Oh, when you open up that door
To old familiar rooms of love and laughter
Coming home just the way you are
Knowing this is all that really matters

To be together at Christmas time

Oh, love that feeling
Yes, I love that feeling
What a lovely feeling

Oh, when you open up that door
To old familiar rooms of love and laughter
Coming home just the way you are
Knowing this is all that really matters

To be together at Christmas time
To be together at Christmas time
Oh, to be together

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
