[Verse 1]
The whole world feels a little bit more love
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
And everywhere that you go
There's people singing "Let It Snow"
And hanging up that mistletoe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And me and you gonna have ourselves a holiday
And we don't need nobody else to celebrate
And we gon' kiss our worries and our cares away
I can't wait

[Chorus 1]
Because this Christmas time, get together
It's gonna be so nice
Better than ever
And baby you're the one special treasure
I can't wait to unwrap your love
Until Christmas comes

[Verse 2]
So many souls hurt
So many don't have enough
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
But baby if you spread love
Someday it might be enough
To heal each other one by one

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we gon' get together and rejoice and pray
And we gon' help the world become a better place
And we gon' sing and shout because the Savior reigns
So don't dismay

[Chorus 2]
Because this Christmas time, get together
It's gonna be so nice
Better than ever
Because this gift of love lasts forever
The Lord makes our hearts open up
Soon as Christmas comes

[Bridge]
It's gon' be alright
When Christmas comes
Oh, jingle all the way
Oh what fun

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And we gon' reminisce about the good old days
And we gon' laugh together as the children play
And through the years it's always gonna be this way
Come what may

[Chorus 3]
Because this Christmas time, get together
It's gonna be so nice
Better than ever
And baby you're the one that I treasure
I can't wait to unwrap your love
When Christmas comes

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
