[Verse 1]
It's Christmas time and its magic is here
It's Christmas time and its wonders appear
The scent of pine fills the Christmasy air
While the church bell chimes and there's joy everywhere

[Bridge]
Some precious gift (Some precious gift)
Lights a little one's eyes (Light's a little one's eyes)
God's blessed lived (God's blessed lived)
Stays the weary and wild (Stays the weary and wild)

[Verse 2]
This Christmas time, keep its magic right here
Within your heart every day of the year

[Harmonica solo]

[Bridge]
Some precious gift
Lights a little one's eyes
God's blessed lived
Stays the weary and wild

[Outro]
This Christmas time, keep its magic right here
Within your heart every day of the year

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
