[Chorus]
Lovin' you and me underneath the tree
It will be oh so cuddly forever
It will be so right ridin' through the night
Holding tight (Until the morning light)
I'll make a special wish it will be my gift
With a kiss, Merry Christmas, girl
Silver bells will ring, children start to sing
It will bring joy to the world

[Verse 1]
Children waking up out of bed
To see it Rudolph's nose is really red
To take a peek at Santa on his way (Bringing toys today)

[Bridge]
For me, a kiss'll go under the mistletoe, don't you know
It will bring you love
We will keep the peace, it will be a treat at the feast
(Will you fill me up?)
When snow is all around, neighbors come around
With the sound of carols at your door
Snowflakes will fall, we will have a ball at the mall
(That's what Christmas is for)

Now that Christmas time is here
There's a message we should all make clear
Don't let magic ever fade away
When we can make it last forever and a day

Children waking up out of bed to see if Rudolph's nose is really red
To take a peak at santa on his way (Bringing toys today)

[Chorus]
Lovin' you and me underneath the tree
It will be oh so cuddly, underneath the tree, it will be
It will be so right ridin' through the night
Holding tight
It will be so right ridin' through the night
Holding tight
I'll make a special wish it will be my gift
With a kiss
I'll make a special wish it will be my gift
With a kiss
Silver bells will ring, children start to sing
It will bring
Silver bells will ring, children start to sing
It will bring

Lovin' you and me underneath the tree
It will be oh so cuddly, underneath the tree, it will be
It will be so right ridin' through the night
Holding tight
It will be so right ridin' through the night
Holding tight
I'll make a special wish it will be my gift
With a kiss
I'll make a special wish it will be my gift
With a kiss
Silver bells will ring, children start to sing
It will bring
Silver bells will ring, children start to sing
It will bring

New Edition

New Edition is a Boston-based R&B group that was seen as the inspiration of the boy bands that followed them during the 1980s and 1990s. The group initially consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They released their debut album Candy Girl in 1983 after being discovered by producer Maurice Starr. This album yielded the hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love,” and “Is This the End.” After a financial dispute, New Edition cut ties with Starr and released their second album New Edition in 1984, which features two of their biggest “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” In November 1985, they released All for Love featuring the hits “Count Me Out” and “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes)” and one month later released Christmas All Over the World.

Before the end of 1985, the group decided to vote Bobby Brown out of the group for his disruptive behavior. After their 1986 doo-wop cover album Under the Blue Moon, lead singer Ralph Tresvant was considering a solo career as the group’s direction was in question. In 1987, Johnny Gill was added to the group and the quintet went on to create their most popular album Heart Break with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in 1988. This album was released on June 20, 1988—the same day as Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel—and features two more of their biggest “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”

In 1990, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe all went on to have successful hits. Among these hits was the remix to BBD’s “Word to the Mutha,” which was the first song to feature all six members. After a hiatus, all six members came together in 1996 to create the album Home Again, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and was a multi-platinum success. After some friction on the Home Again tour, Bobby Brown decided to depart the group again. In 2004, after leaving their longtime label MCA Records, New Edition signed with Bad Boy Records and released the album One Love but they left Bad Boy a year later due to a lack of promotion. The group continues to tour together and sell out shows after 30 years in the business. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 23, 2017—one day ahead of the BET premiere of their 3-night mini-series The New Edition Story.
