[English]

Everybody's starting to feel it

Starting to feel it in the air

All of the sidewalks

All of the streetlights

Holiday magic everywhere

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Then it hits me

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

It's officially Christmas

And I'm officially yours

I'm officially wishing

For something not in a store

It's already December

The snow's falling too

Then all of a sudden, it's true

It's officially Christmas

Now that I'm with you

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh)

Waiting for Santa

Here by the fire

Listen for footsteps on the roof

"Jingle Bell" rocking

Over the speakers

Singing along just like we do

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Then it hits me

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

It's officially Christmas

And I'm officially yours

I'm officially wishing

For something not in a store

It's already December

The snow's falling too

Then all of a sudden, it's true

It's officially Christmas

Now that I'm with you

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh)

We've been counting down the days all year

Raise a glass, it's finally here

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

It's officially Christmas

And I'm officially yours

I'm officially wishing

For something not in a store (not in a store)

It's already December

The snow's falling too

Then all of a sudden, it's true

It's officially Christmas

Now that I'm with you (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Now that I'm with you (ooh-ooh, ooh)

Now that I'm with you (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh)

Now that I'm with you
