This song is from Boyz II Men’s Christmas interpretations. It includes the traditional “Silent Night” but also has some great new Christmas songs, like this one. This song has it all: syncopated rhythms, beautiful harmonies, a catchy chorus, musical changes, and a wonderful Christmas meaning that includes reverence for God and sharing love with others.

Even though I’m in sunny Southern California, this song makes me imagine that I’m in a wintry cabin by a fireplace, wrapped in flannel blankets. It’s like a musical hug.

Boyz II Men has the distinguished honor of having two songs on the list. The other will come later. Enjoy this one now!

Lyrics:

It’s the time of the year again for you to share
All the love that you have
With every woman and every man to share love

Christmas day is here
And the lord is what is near
To share love with your family and thank God for allowing you to see that

Christmas is the time to share
With the one you love share good things
Joy, glad tidings
Share love
Giving all you have this day
Lets the world know you care
Know you will be there to share love

Families all around
Children are happy with what they found
Giving things on this day and thanking our God
For teaching us the way to share love

As the snow is falling down
Presents unwrapped under the tree
Bringing tidings of great joy to every little girl and boy, you know

Christmas is the time to share
With the one you love share good things
Joy, glad tidings
Share love
Giving all you have this day
Lets the world know you care
Know you will be there to share love

Now the true meaning of Christmas
Is falling on your knees
Thanking the lord for what he’s done
Giving the world His only Son

Christmas is the time to share
With the one you love share good things
Joy, glad tidings
Share love
Giving all you have this day
Lets the world know you care
Know you will be there to share love

Christmas is the time to share
With the one you love share good things
Joy, glad tidings
Share love
Giving all you have this day
Lets the world know you care
Know you will be there to share love
