[Intro: Brian]
Oooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1: Brian, Nick & AJ]
There is something special
About this time of year
The Christmas feeling's everywhere
I just got home to join you
I've been away too long (been away too long)
But now I'm back to share my love
Friends are reunited
One big family filled with love
To last throughout the year

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Christmas time
Time to share our love
Come and join
The tidings to the world
Christmas time
The best time of the year
Yes, it's Christmas time
(Oh, Christmas time)

[Verse 2: Nick & Brian]
You and me together
Sleigh Ride in the Park
Loving kissing (straight from the heart)
Straight from my heart
Snowflakes falling gently
A smell of chestnuts in the air
And the Christmas lights
They gleam across the sky
Oh-oh, it's Christmas time

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Christmas time
Time to share our love
Come and join
The tidings to the world (world)
Christmas time (it's Christmas time)
The best time of the year (the best time)
Yes, it's Christmas time (oh yeah)

[Bridge: AJ & Brian]
Do you remember?
Everything felt so nice
When I held you close to me
Do you remember
Those cold Christmas nights?
When we saw the world in harmony

[Chorus: All, Brian & AJ]
Christmas time (Christmas time)
Time to share our love
(Time to share our love)
Come and join the tidings to the world
(The tidings to the world)
Christmas time, (it's Christmas time)
The best time of the year
(Always the best time)
Yes, it's Christmas time (Christmas time)
(All around the world)
It's Christmas time (all the boys and girls)

[Outro: All]
Christmas time
Time to share our love
Come and join
The tidings to the world
Christmas time
Time to share our love
Christmas time
Time to share our love
Come and join
The tidings to the world
Christmas time
Time to share our love

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
