Let It Be Christmas!

My cousin Molly turned me on to this song this year and it quickly became one of my absolute favorites. I've always loved Alan Jackson, but he really outdid himself with this one. I've listened to it atleast a hundred times and I still get a lump in my throat every time. Hope you love it too :)
*****
Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the hearts of all people both near and afar
Christmas everywhere
Feel the love of the Season wherever you are
On the small country roads lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow...
*****
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing, let every bell ring
The story of hope, and joy, and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear, and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
and let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere
*****
Let it be Christmas everywhere
With the gold and the silver, the green and the red
Christmas everywhere
In the smiles of all children asleep in their beds
In the eyes of young babies their first fallen snow
Elderly's memories that never grow old...
*****
(Chorus)
*****
Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the songs that we sing and the gifts that we bring
Christmas everywhere
In what this day means, and what we believe
From the sandy white beaches where blue waters roll
Snow covered mountains and valleys below
*****
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing, let every bell ring
The story of hope, and joy, and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear, and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere.
Christmas everywhere.
