Easy listening–jazz sound

V1:
I can’t explain it, but I get a feeling
Unlike any other that I’ve known
A gift of joy and peace- wrapped up in melody  
And this time every year, it takes me home
   
C:
Back to a time when things were simple
I turn the music up and sing along
Cause everything looks brighter
My heart’s a little lighter
When I hear a Christmas song

V2:
A symphony of voices sweet and precious
Fam’ly harmony around the tree
And somehow even now – I hear the happy sound
I close my eyes and hold the memory

C:
Back to a time when things were simple
I turn the music up and sing along   
Cause everything looks brighter
My heart’s a little lighter
When I hear a Christmas song 

C:  2x
(mod) Back…. to a time when things were simple
(mod) Back to time when things were simple
I turn the music up and sing along
Cause everything looks brighter
My heart’s a little lighter
When I hear a Christmas, every time I hear a Christmas, when I hear a Christmas song  (Jingle Bells)
