Early in the morning

I smell the breakfast

Mama's gone and dressed up the table

I love this time of the year

At a time when I know I should be nothing but thankful

Something's got me sitting here troubled

And I've been thinking bout it

And I don't understand





Shouldn't just be at this time of the year

The love that you be showin your

Family and friends should be

Always and forever love

Not just Christmas love

Shouldn't just be at this time of year

He gave his life for you

Just to show you his love for you

Always and forever love

Not just Christmas love





All of the children are outside playin

And all the parents in the house singing

There's so much joy in the air

But what about yesterday?

And what about tomorrow when the snow melts away?

And what about the other day after?

Will we realize that his love is forever and always?





Shouldn't just be at this time of the year

The love that you be showin your

Family and friends should be

Always and forever love

Not just Christmas love

Shouldn't just be at this time of year

He gave his life for you

Just to show you his love for you

Always and forever love

Not just Christmas love





What about yesterday?

The day after and the day after that?

Shouldn't just be at this time of year





Shouldn't just be at this time of the year

The love that you be showin your

Family and friends should be

Always and forever love

Not just Christmas love

Shouldn't just be at this time of year

He gave his life for you

Just to show you his love for you

Always and forever love

Not just Christmas love
