Keep Christmas with You

Daved Axlerod; Music: Sam Pottle

When Christ-mas time is ov-er
and pres-ents put a-way, 
don't be sad, 
there'll be so much to trea-sure 
a-bout this Christ-mas day 
and the fun we've had. 

So ma-ny hap-py feel-ings 
to cel-e-brate with you 
and, oh, the good times hur-ry by so fast, 
but ev-en when it's ov-er, 
there's some-thing you can do 
to make Christ-mas last: 

Keep Christ-mas with you all through the year, 
when Christ-mas is ov-er, you can keep it near. 
Think of this Christ-mas day 
when Christ-mas is far a-way. 

Keep Christ-mas with you all through the year. 
When Christ-mas is ov-er, 
save some Christ-mas cheer. 
These pre-cious mo-ments, 
hold them ve-ry dear 
and keep Christ-mas with you all through the year. 

Christ-mas means the spi-rit of giv-ing, 
peace and joy to you, 
the good-ness of lov-ing, 
the glad-ness of liv-ing; 
these are Christ-mas too. 

So, 

Keep Christ-mas with you all through the year. 
When Christ-mas is ov-er, 
save some Christ-mas cheer. 
These pre-cious mo-ments, 
hold them ve-ry dear 
and keep Christ-mas with you all through the year.
