Was it the day I got my first sled or that first electric guitar
Christmas Eve-didn't wanna go to bed
So close, and yet so far
But when I think of the best Christmas morn-mmmmmmm
When I think of the best Christmas morn
Twas the day that Jesus Christ was born

I loved the times the family gathered round
Brothers and sisters, good cheer to be found
Mother with her smile and daddy so proud
Crosby on the hi-fi, we're a merry crowd
But when I think of the best Christmas morn-mmmmmmm
When I think of the best Christmas morn
Twas the day that Jesus Christ was born

I watch the old movies with a lump in my throat
Of the years gone by and many gone home
Singing carols of yuletide joy
Wasn't it grand for every girl and boy
Yet when I think of the best Christmas morn-mmmmmmm
When I think of the best Christmas morn
Twas the day that Jesus Christ was born

Times are strange-and the world has changed
But children have eyes that see
Should they ban the carols in the public square
And freedom seems lost in the land of the free
Yet I won't be blue, I won't be forlorn-mmmmmmm
Cause I remember the best Christmas morn
It's the day our Savior was born

Yes when I think of the best Christmas morn---mmmmmm
When I think of the best Christmas morn
Twas the day that Jesus Christ was born
