Now'll I'll admit that what you see right now
Is just a small piece of the front of the house
But all you grown ups and kids alike
This is the time of Santa's Magic
So I think we can make it become a real house
Even a house with love in it
Mr. Santa Claus can we have a little snow please?
Thank you, that's fine
Now Santa let me see
What it really looks like
Inside this house
See what I mean?

A house with love in it is rich indeed
Although there are a thousand things that house may need
The carpet may be old, the room so plain and bare
And yet it's beautiful somehow when love is living there

A house with love in it just seems to bloom
As though the month of may were filling every room
So darling true the years with all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it is where we'll stay

So darling true the years with all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it is where we'll stay

Thank you, thank you very much
