Christmas Comes Alive

The elves are working hard in Horton's Hardware
They've turned the light poles into candy canes
And old Rudolf and his reindeer on the courthouse square
And all across the town the sleigh bells ring

Now snow like powdered sugar coats the sidewalks
The firehouse must be made of gingerbread
Old Frosty's come to life, can't you hear him talk?
Every child can tell you what he said

Now Christmas comes alive for the children who believe
In Santa Claus and gifts that fall 'round dancing Christmas trees
A lot of hope rides on the nose of a reindeer that can fly
It's a magic sight in the children's eyes when Christmas comes alive

Tonight, the fire books turn into toy soldiers
They're standing guard on each and every block
With tiny chocolate guns upon their shoulders
On streets of bricks that turn to lemon drops

Now Christmas Eve finds them waiting every year
Those with big wide eyes and sleepy heads
They can hear the hooves of the reindeer
Landing on the roof with Santa's sleigh

Now Christmas comes alive for the children who believe
In Santa Claus and gifts that fall 'round dancing Christmas trees
A lot of hope rides on the nose of a reindeer that can fly
It's a magic sight in the children's eyes when Christmas comes alive

A lot of hope rides on the nose of a reindeer that can fly
It's a magic sight in the children's eyes when Christmas comes alive
